PROHIBITION OFFICER
FINED FOR SPEEDING. J.

Columbus Reporter: Last Sun
!. day evening at about eight O'Clock
Columbus was visited by about
three federal officers, who are out
in this part of the state trying to
find out the why's and whereforesH
of the great amount of illegal IL
quor traffic that is going on in this
state. Their coming was not un--
like that Of a big circus. Hours
before they arrived. people were
waiting for their coming, and when
they entered in their high powered
prohibition sixes", it caused a SEN
sation among local people. They
gathered around their cars, one a
huge Cadillac roadster and the 9TH
er a Buick with a racing gear, in
spected them and wondered how
fast they could travel. One of the
officers, acting under the guise Of a
good sport, proceeded to show one
of the local boys just how fast his
car could 60. Going through the
streets at a terrific speed, thereby
ljeopardizing the lives OF our law
abiding citizens, this officer of the
law thereby violated our city ordip-
ance, and was promptly arrested on
the charge Of speeding within the
city limits. Papers were served on
him early Monday morning by Dep
uty Sheriff Mike Maher and he was
arraigned in court before Justice So
derquist. Joe Probst entered the
complaint, to which the federal man
pleaded guilty. He was assessed a
fine of $3.50 by Justice Solder
jquist. AZ.
To most OF us this incident is a
Joke. Whether it was entirely
spite work or no matter what the
purpose was, the fact remains that
these gentlemen came to Columbus
to see that the federal law in regard
to whiskey smuggling was enforced,
and In turn violated our own law
and were promptly taken to task
about it. The law took its course.
Their invasion of our peaceful
and law-abiding town did not, as
far as we can learn, net them any
victims. These officers seemed to
prey on innocent individuals who
probably use liquor about once a
year, while undoubtedly at the
same time t.whiskey sixes' from
Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and South
Dakota were passing thru our
streets with immense cargoes bound
for their home states. In our
mind, these whiskey haulers and
the men who transport liquor across
the lime for big profit are the men
that are actually violating the law
and are the men that federal Of
%ficera with big cars should go af-
! ter, instead OF some innocent mdi7
vidual who probably goes across the
line once d year and buys liquor for
his. own use. We know these
whiskeyA haulers carry sawed off
shot guns, high powered rifles and
the like, but federal officer should
be fearless and should leave the
3"small and occasional whiskey haul
Ae." to the care of local authorities.
Z, We do not uphold single soul
n authorities are lucky enough to
catch them. but we certainly do cen
sor the Federal Prohibition author
tiles in the methods and the tactics
they are using in apprehending
:.'whiskey men, and in enforcing
the prohibition law. Coming un-
der no disguise or without any
clever ruses whatever, they enter a
town. an advertised attraction.
Good morning. Where are the
federal men booked for today'"
a Just q big joke, that's all.

NIMLOS CLASSES HANSON
AS ON-PARTY BOOSTER

In spite of the fact that the leaders
OF Equity in Pierce county lave been
POLITICAL seduced by the Townley or
ganization, it is fully expected by
Thomas Nimlos and other prominent
men here that the rank and file will
go strong for Lenroot. 1t is believed
that the sturdy farmers who have
done so much to advance the interests
of Equity will administer cutting
Iebuke to the men who tried to lead
them astray.
Reports from the county Indicate
that before the close Of the election
the men who are trying to lead Equi
ty in Pierce county and at the same
time are playing into the hands Of the
Non-P Partisan League, will find them
selves without followers.
"They are blind leaders, but they
will find that they have not a blind
following" said Mr.. Nimlos. ut is
surprising to al real farmers who
have the real interests Of the Nation
at heart to find that men Of the Han
son type are able to fool any consid-
cradle number of tillers of the soil.
"These so-called leaders would turn
this state over to the worst aggrega-
ton of political and economic incom-
petents that the country has ever
known. If the Non-P Partisan capture
the state and a seat in the United
States Senate, they will. set back the
cooperative movement in Wisconsin
quarter of a century. 1t will be
impossible to recover fully from such
calamity in less time than |
mention.
"T he Non-Partisan League in
North Dakota has made impossible
anything like true cooperation among
the farmers. They have retarded the
growth and development of agricul-
tural selling agencies to tremendous
degree. The farmers in that state
are just beginning TO understand that
they have been buncoed and tricked
by an organization which if allowed
to run its course would carry econom-
ic destruction to all it touches"
Mr.. Nimlos said the leaders of
Equity in Pierce county who were
supporting the Non Partisan League
were obviously plotting to turn the
| r. s.,.
over to Townley and his cohorts. He
declared that this must be prevented
at all hazards and there must not
under any circumstances be created
either in the state or nation condi-
ton favorable to such a movement.
II know very well that the rank
and file of Equity in Pierce county
desire that the organization be held

should come under one organization or
should have one form or worship at the

and Council
LEAVES TODAY TO
SEE PRISONER
Wrenn, Formerly of BrattlebOr0. Con-
vieted in 1913 of Murder of j. Stewart
Hamilton on Hinsdale Railroad Job
and Given Life Sentence.

Attorney Joseph Madden of Keene,
n. H., who was counsel for John III.
Wrenn at the Iatter's trial in 1913 for
the murder of James Stewart Hamilton,
a foreman for the Holbrook, Cabot & Rol-
Inns corporation, builders of the Boston
& Maine railroad from here to South
Vernon on the New Hampshire side of
the river, will go to Concord this after
noon on several matters of business, one
of which is to learn the present status
of a petition which he recently made to
Gov. John H. Bartlett and members of
his council to pardon Wrenn, who is
serving a life sentence in the Concord
state prison.
The petition sets up the fact that the
conviction of Wrenn was obtained largely
on circumstantial evidence and that
Wrenn has been an exemplary prisoner,
and it expresses the opinion that he Is
not guilty. He has served seven years,
and was in Jail several months. before
his conviction. For time Wrenn was a
cook in the state prison. He is now III

At the time of the trial in the supe-
rior court in Keene in June. 1913, County
Solicitor o. f. Cain of Keene and At
IOIDeN NEenbEaI sjullleS Iutlit bl Alill-
chester appeared for the prosecution. 1t
is expected that they will oppose the
granting of Il pardon. 1t is probable
that the governor will fix a date for a
hearing on the petition.
Attorney Madden has seen Wrenn sew,
eral times since the trial, the last time
about three months ago. Wrenn is III
good health and is hopeful of being re-
leased. His wife is living in Nova SEQ
tia with her child born shortly after
Wrenn went TO Concord. An older child

Editor of The Reformer;

EdltOr OF Inc heIOf1neI.
Will You kindly allow me space in the
columns of your valued paper to correct
an erroneous impression that prevails in
the minds of some regarding the Get
her-Get-Acquainte banquet that is
to take place at o'clock Thursday eve
ming Dec. l6 in the Brooks House din
ing room, at which the representa- tives
and senators-elect in Windham county
are to be our guests.
The impression some have received IS
that the banquet is for the representa-
tives and senators-elect only and that no
one else is expected to be present. This
is very far from the idea which the
Chamber of Commerce had in mind III
arranging the entertainment. Tickets are
ON sale at my Office at 81 each for any
member of the Chamber of Commerce or
any other person interested in the well
fare of Brattleboro; and the members of
the Chamber of Commerce are not only
expected but are urged to procure their
tickets and be present and act the part
of genial hosts. The larger number of
our members that are present will show
to the representatives, and senator's
elect greater respect.
This meeting Thursday night will be
the fourth in a series at which state Off
cials have addressed our members on the
workings of their respective departments.
Hon. j S. Buttles, commissioner of in
dustries, at one time known as the BOY

deliver an address.
