Garbled Purity Ticket Story
''Starts Something"

Political candidates. who were
supposed to have been rejected
by the ladies at their recent
meeting as 'Purity Ticket" can
didateS find that the garbled
story of the meeting as pub
lishcd in the Herald has had an
unexpectedly unpleasant result
for them.
One of them declares that his
family peace will not be restored
until his wife can be satisfied on
what grounds he was turned
down. In fact, it is rumored
that the wives of several of the
candidates are asking similar
Questions, and the worried CAN
Ididates are less concerned just
now as to their standing with
the voters than they are over
their regulations with their bet
ter halves.
"I'll just have to interview
the ladies'" one of them declar-
ed sadly Thursday. "Unless l
can obtain some reasonable ex-
PLANTATION to pass along to my lit
tie woman, I'm liable to need the
services of an arbitration COM
mission to restore amicable re-
lations at home"
The fact that the story as
published was largely the prod
uct of the fertile imagination OF
the Herald scribe has not yet
been made clear to some of the
wives whose husbands were sup
posed to have been placed under
the ban at the meeting of wona
en-, and one of the candidates
says that he hopes that the
women will hold another meet
ing so that he can get official
denial of the Herald story.
"And they called me a rough
person. too," growls A. G. Peck,
referring to the supposed ac-
count of the proceedings in the
evening organ. Guess | have a
grievance, as well as the other
fellows"
Just what the people concern
ed will think about the Herald
when they find that their trou-
bles all resulted from a case of
newspaper mysteries, will be in
teresting to learn.
