Eugene Franklin.

We desire to call the. attention
of the readers to the signed
article of Eugene Franklin in re-
gard to his candidacy for County
Clerk published in this issue of
the Democrat stating his position
relative to the article published
in the Liberal News of last Mon
day. 1t looks to US as though his
opponent desires elebtion without
any opposition and probably
would if it had not been for some
of Franklin's friends interesting
themselves in the matt%. AS he
is no politician and had made no
effort to deny it until his friends
called his attention to the article.
1t looks to the Democret as this
was an attempt to defeat the cleo
tion, not only Mr.. Franklin but
the whole ticket, as the article
appearing in the Liberal News
not only mis-puoted him accord
ing to- his signed statement, but
gave to his friends and supporters
a decidedly wrong impression.
Mr.. Eugene Franklin who is
the Democratic nominee for
County Clerk has not had the
time to make personal campaign
and in attempting to state his
position almost got himself re-
moved had the wishes of a few
individuals been carried out.
The scheme was not only done to
hurt Eugene Franklin but also
Harvey Franklin who is can
didate for clerk of the District
Court. The two men are in no
way related and both are pecu-
liarly fitted for the positions
which they seek. Eugene Frank
lin is an expert with figures, is a
splendid accountant and he is not
only a trusted workman but a
valuable one, is evidenced by the
fact thrt be mas held, for a num-
Der of years a trusted position

To whom it may concern:
This is to certify that we have
known D. E. Dobson for the past
twenty-five years personally and
know of our own certain knowl-
edge that he has never been a
member of the Catholic church

We further ABSOLUTELY deny
having made any statement to any

and it is our belief that these re-

While Mr.. Dobson himself
thinks the foregoing accusation
mentioned above was done for
political purposes he does not
want it understood that he accuses
his opponent as having had any
thing to do with the report. The

for the Office and Mr.. Dobson does
not want his supporters to be
misinformed as to the source OF
the mis-statement.

Meeting of Marcus Loew,
Owner of Forty-three Ex-
pensive Playhouses, and
David Warfeld, the Actor.
An Entrance Into the Two
Dollar Field and the Har-
vest He Has Reaped There.

There is even a serious enough side to
a play that is simply built to accord
laughter as to have a history Of its own.
Late last summer when THE Pleasure
Seekers" which comes to the Belasco
this week. was first seen at the Winter
Garden, New Workers were considerably
impressed with the unusual extravaganza
and cost with which it was produced.
Even blase New York conceded it to be
out of the ordinary and its lavish ex-
penditure brought to the fore the man
who had so literally furnished the funds
wherewith to produce it-Marcus Loew,
then only known as the vaudeville small
time king"
The real history of THE Pleasure Seek
crs'' commenced one day when David
Warfield and Marcus Loew Tnet-but that
is precipitating the story.
Down in New York they point to two
very unusual things that have arisen in
the last few years from the massing up
of 10 cent pieces; one Of these Is the
Woolworth Building, with endless tiers of
stories, the largest sky-scraper in New
York: and the other is the string Of new
and expensive playhouses. forty-three in
all, also built within the past few years
by one man, the result of massing up
10 cent pieces from the public. The
Woolworth Building was the result Of one
man furnishing articles TO the public in
furnishing amusements to the public at
tina. same price. 10th of these men tried
to give the public little better for
cheaper price than they ever had before
and their success resulted in this monu-
mental success.

and the eminent actor, David Warfield.
