WINTER INFLUX
OF VISITORS IS
HERE IN FORCE
Chamber of Commerce Re-
ports All Desirable Fur
niShed Homes Occupied;
Some Newcomers to Buy

Every furnished house in the
city that Is fit to i've in or is not
barred to families having chill
dren is occupied, according to
M, L. Fox, manager of the cham
ber of commerce. A large in
flux of people has arrived from
the eastern and middle western
states. Mr.. Fox says, during the
last two weeks. The arrival of
the seekers for a sunshiny winter
climate was late this year, Mr..
Fox stated, because of good
weather conditions in the east.
The recent blizzard has sent hum
dreds of families this way. Fur
nished apartments also are prac-
tically all rented, Mr.. Fox said,
There are a number of unfur-
nished houses for rent and sale,
and the crowded condition of the
city, it is believed, will result in
a number of sales to people of
means, with resulting business
for home furnlshers, transfer
men, the public utilities corpora
tions, the grocers and others.
Telephone Service Gains
The total net gain in telephones
in the city from December l,
1921, to December 1, 1929, is 26s.
Practically every one of these is
a residence phone. There s
total of 1882 phones in use in
the city. The light connections
increased by 16 per cent during
the year from December to De-
cember, and the total now is
4,776. The city water plant has
something over 5000 connections.

BEETHAM CALLS TURN
ON ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

Rupert R. Beetham, who made
the Fourth of July address here, and
is candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket, has written let
ter to the anti-saloon league in
which he states that he will quit the
race if the candidate the anti-saloon
league is working hardest for, Car
mi A. Thompson, will certify to his
'dryness' Beetham's letter which
was addressed to j. A. White, su-
perintendent of the Ohio anti
saloon league, follows: eff you
will publish Mr.. Thompson's unqual-
ified endorsement over his sigma
ture of what the league has stood
for and now stands for-as / have
repeatedly done-I hereby agree to
withdraw from the primary contest.
you should, in all fairness and de-
cency to the rank and file of the
league, change your present align
ment. While you have endorsed
four candidates as satisfactory, my
self among the number, you private
1y and quietly are supporting one.
Your officials are writing letters for
Mr.. Thompson. Your paid officers
are working for Thompson. In fact,
you are doing all you can for
Thompson's election. Yet to the
present time he has said nothing in
behalf of the prohibition cause"
In connection with the above we
believe that Mr.. Beetham is justified
in making the statement he does
Mention should be made of Mrs.
Mary Cartwright of Delaware who
appeared on the Chautauqua plat
form here last Saturday, the pur-
pose of which was to discuss the
various candidates as to their wet
and dry records. 1t was evident by
her remarks that she was working
for Carmi A. Thompson, and it has
developed since that she has been
doing work for Thompson 1t will
be recalled that while she gave
Beetham the credit of being the
"dryest," she made the statement
that che had no organization back
of him." The anti-saloon league is
a strong organization. If it is to be
consistent why did it not back him?
Then he would have had an organi-
Zation.
The anti-saloon league represents
and is working in great and good
cause, and has done much in the
past. However, if it wants to be
the power that it should, and could
be, it must not play favorites as be-
tween dry men.
