ITS'TOOTRANSPARENT THISPOLITICAL SCHEME
 AGAINST CAMPBELL

It had been known for some time that Governor Hunt and his friends intended near the end of the campaign to make an appeal to the prohibition vote by endeavoring to connect MT. Campbell with the wet" element Just how it was to be done was not clear but 1t has now developed. Here are two letters which have been industriously circulated by the friends of the governor throughout the state. though some effort has been made 70 keep them out Of print. they are intended for the perusal only of persons of strong prohibition tenden- cies. But copies Of them have been obtained and The Republican noN gives them statewide publicity. Sev- eral gentlemen who have called upon the governor. that is gentlemen known to be prohibitionists say that after conversations with them. he inciden- tally refers to the letters and shows what purports to the original letters Also in reply to inquiries from pro- hlbitionists as to his attitude on the prohibition question. the governor en- closes copies of these letters.
 In order that they may have wider publicity than the workers for the governor have seen fit to give them, The Republican herewith presents them:
