to make the following statement in
regard to the services performed for
said district by j. B. A. Robertson.
In letter to the county commits
sioners, Mr.. Robertson offered his
services as attorney for said dis.
trict, with the provision that the
commissioners should fix a reason
able price for his services. Rob-
ertson served less than five months
as attorney for the district, during
which time he carried on his reg
ular law practice, and during which
time nothing of importance was
done for the district. At the end
of that time he was removed by
another board of commissioners
and filed bill for $4,000. which
he collected in some manner, At
that time he had never earned a
larger salary than that of District
Judge, S250.00 per month.
We, the men who paid the bill,
believe first. that tho work should
have been performed by the County
Attorney absolutely free of cost and
second, that any charge in excess OF
$500 was unwarranted and un.
merited.
We think the public is entitled
to know his dispositinn for econ
omy, fairness and honest as shown
by his acts, not words.

Can these people be blamed for
refusing to support Judge Robert
son for governor, or telling their
way. how does this tally up with
Judge Robertson's pretensions of
economy? If he would take $4,000
out of small thing like this, what
would he do if he had an oppor-
tunity at the sand and gravel beds
or the oil fields of Oklahoma? 1t
is suggested that the Marlin lease
would be a Kindergarten stunt to
what Judge Robertson would put
on.

he felt in his bones that the climax
was at hand. All through dinner he

JOHN MITCHELL, who for years was Vice
President OF the American Federation OF Labor:
IF brewery is closed down, in its place
springs up a factory. If saloon is closed, in
its place comes a store. II is simply process
we'll known 10 union men. the same process as
follows the introduction OF machinery II is
readjustment changed condition Of society. Al
most every disturbance in the ranks OF organized
labor can be traced back 20 some connection
with the saloon"
JOHN b. LENNON Treasurer Of the Amer-
can Federation OF Labor: "Wageworkers have
been the mainstay OF the liquor traffic the
North American continent, but, thank God, they
are going TO knock il out. The saloon does not
produce thing which is benefit to the hui
man race. II is a non-producer, and must be
supported by those who work. Every man and
woman should be against the liquor traffic from
start 10 finish"
THOMAS L. LEWIS until recently Pres-
dent United Mine Workers: "If you want to
know where the miners OF America stand upon
the temperance question, I'll tell you. In Our
stitution, we have a clause which forbds any
member 70 sell intoxicants even at a picnic.
That's what we think OF the liquor traffic.
Some people say the saloon is necessary evil.
] don't believe in that kind OF doctrine. Because
the liquor traffic tends to enslave the people, to
make them satisfied with improper conditions,
and keeps them ignorant, the leaders OF the
trades-unions arc called on TO fight the saloons"
Few men have had greater opportunity to OBJ
what the saloon does for working men
than have John Mitchell, John B. Lennon and
Thomas l.. Lewis. And were they registered
