tended to be made, and that some of
the candidates hope TO win through
the making of false statements.
The Press does not know who gath
gathered the information on which the
platform statements were based. Who
ever it was is either incompetent or
dishonest.
In view of all these things the Press
feels justified in warning voters
against any eleventh hour stories, no
matter at whom aimed 1t is safe to
assume that anyone who springs such
stories is unworthy of credence, and
devoid of honor Stories that come
too late to be investigated or met
will not bear investigation or else they
would not be so late appearing. The
accuser instead of the accused should
be suspected in such instances.

HALLOWEEN PARTY.

Odeon hall was the place aGd Tues
day night was the time, when the
greatest assemblage Of matrimonial
possibilities ever convened in Amerl-

were dispelled by the more modern
and progressive styles OF foretelling
the matrimonial future. SO SUCCESS
ful was the undertaking that the coun-
ty clerk should anticipate big in

He spoke for more than an hour, and
according TO wilford Bennion, who
heard him, the crowd hung breath
iessiy upon his words az he detailed
at considerable length his experiences
and observations, and at the conclu-
sion gave him a great ovation. Not
withstaDding that many people were
standing throughout the address the
greatest quiet prevailed. He brings
conviction because he speaks OF IN

that only candidates themselves were

case of John D. Hyland, who sent a
representative.
Mr.. r. d. McCracken, the secretary
OF the League, presided and conducted
