ELECTION DEBAUCHERY
 UNCOVERED IN DOUGLAS

The fumes arising from the de- bauchery discovered in Douglas pre- cinct No. l recently unfolded to view in the Hunt contest, has not the flaw or that pleases either former govern or Hunt or his followers. It is alleged that the judge of election board of this precinct has confessed intoxica- tion of the members of the board, re- cesses taken for refreshments, and that one clerk of the board was left alone while the ballots were being counted and during that time he was seen with pencil in his hand careful ly selecting out ballots and handing them over to be counted when voted for Hunt, retaining the others; that he had been making bets 'on Hunt during the process of the election. This and much more high handed pro ceedings of the kind were told of by eye witnesses. The republican repre- sentative sent to the precinct to serve as clerk was told that it had all been arranged beforehand and that they did not need his services.
 In the face of such evidence of a debauchery, Huntites have been claiming that Hunt was defrauded of the office of governor. Mistakes will happen but it is indeed strange that no democratic county official took note of this open and above board viola tions of the law. The "holier than thou" attitude of the Hunt following has not fooled any one as to what had been done or what they would do to win the battle.

1.-THE SCARLET LETTER"
 AT ORPHEUM TONIGHT

A great picture is promised at the Orpheum tonight "The Scarlet Let ter" the most pathetic story of human love and passion ever told has been exalted to the lofty plane of a Passion Play by beautiful picturization in a William Fox magnificent film yer sion. For sixty years Hawthorne's famous story in book form and on the stage, has driven home in to thous- ands of hearts, it's terrible tale of justice gone wrong. "The Scarlet Letter" has been lifted from the realm of more drama. It has been placed in the dignified class where it rightfully belongs. This peerless pic turization of Hawthorne's classic is not the regular every day film that the public is accustomed to witness; it is beyond that class. It is a part of ones education. It is a story lived on the screen that should be seen by all, so that they can glean the true interpretation of the moral which Hawthorne really intended to convey to the minds of the readers of his famous book.

This is not a one-man country. It never was intended that it should be and the determination of the people that it shall not be has been sufficient ly demonstrated in the last few days when the President has been striving to drive Congress to set him up as a practical dictator for the next nine months. Everybody will feel safer if Congress is in session while the coun- try is so perilously near the brink of war.
