THE Editor Pleads
Not Guilty.

We arc publishing in this weeks
sue a large number of letters
from the friends of Mr.. J. Fred
Catron from the various parts of
Knox county. The writers of
these letters evidently missunder.
stood the Mountain Advocate in
its issue of March 23rd, 1917. In
this issue of the Advocate there
appeared an article under the
picture of w. X. Lay in which it
was stated, some Of Mr.. Laws
friends say that he will carry
Knox county four to ore over
Mr.. Catron." From the tone of
these letters in this weeks issue.
of the Advocate to the Editor it
appears that the writers of these
letters understood that the Editor
of this paper said Mr.. Lay
would carry Knox county four to
one over Mr.. Catron. The Edi-
tor said no such thing. either in
the paper or elsewhere. We are
not making any fight for Mr..
Lay or any other candidate. The
candidates write their own arti-
Giles and pay the Advocate the
regular advertising rates for pub
fishing these articles. We have
never said in the Advocate who
we are for, and we have not said
in the Advocate who wouidcarry
Knox county. We do not know
who will carry Knox county. We
have not talked with d sufficient
number of the voters to be able
to speak on this subject We are
kept busy running the Advocate
and our work as Superintendent
of Union College grounds and
DINING hall. We have made no
fight on Mr.. Catron and do no in
tend to do so. he is our neighbor
and our friend. We hrow him to
be an honorable, upright gentle
man and a true blue Republican,
we also know that he has lots of
friends all over Knox county.
who will do everything possible
to help him to win this nominal
ton. We are glad to publish the
letters in this weeks issue from
the friends of Mr.. Catron and as
we are running a newspaper, we
are glad to take the advertising
matter of the other candidates. AS |
we understand the law we can
not refuse to publish the articles
Of any of the candidates if they |
are willing to pay for it and they |
do not contain any libelous state
ments. We have not undertaken |
to dictate and we do not propose
to the voters of Knox
county as to how they should cast
their vote in the Circuit Judges
race or any other race. 1t is for
the voters of Knox county to say
which they prefer, Mr.. Catron
or Mr., Lay. We did not write the
in which it was stated
that Mr.. Lay would carry Whitley
and McCreary counties. We have
not the least idea as to who will
carry Whitley and McCreary
counties in the Circuit Judges
race. We are very sorry that Mr..
Catron,s friends got the i'm
preston that the Mountain Adj
vocate was trying to defeat Mr..
CatrOn and elect Mr.. Lay. We
are sure that this matter is made
so clear now that no one ought
to misunderstood it. Boys go to
t and vote for the man of your
,hoice and the Mountain Advo-
ate will be behind the choice of
he Republican party for the
November election.

The COMMERCIAL CLUB and CITY AFFAIRS
Edited by EdM Heermans Executive Secseary.
Washburn Commercial Club.

Bayfield, county will have a holiday
together week after next-at the
county fair, the date being Wednes-
day Sept. &c, when most of the
Washburn contingent will be in at
tendance. 1t has been urged that
our local people close their stores for
that occasion and the idea has met
with very favorably response. There
is none too much of getting together
of our people and when they do have
a holiday or special occasion together,
everybody seems to enjoy them and
wish for more frequent such gather
ings.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-09-13

vested while the margin of profit is
not nearly as large. Then en- top of
it is the making out of the various
reports demanded by the government
which is considerable worry in itself.
Now the government says they
must have report on all food
stufs carried in stock by the retail
merchant in order that the govern
ment may have Survey of the food
supply of the country. And all of
these worries cause gray hairs which
cause the retail merchant to look
much older than they really are.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-09-13

We have had numerous good times
together during 1917, some OF the
occasions being tinged with sadness,
such as the farewell torCo. d. at the
Ball Park. But it has been remarked
that these occasions are good, for us
all. 1t is true. ThesAmerican people
do not have enough community cele-
brations. In European countries
the fiesta days are numerous. Also in
our Latin-American countries. We
would do well to have more public
occasions for getting better acquaint-
ed. One man said that some of the
meetings and demonstrations carried
out this year were worth all the cost
and effort of having salaried COM
mercial secretary. We do not quite
go that far, but admit that public
gatherings are good for the whole
community.
