Not a Candidate.
To the Voters of Washino-ton
County:
1 he undersigned has been fre
quently importuned during the
past two months, to become a
candidate for the state senate.
I certainly have not failed to feel
a deep sense of appreciation of
this entirely unsought honor and
these expressions of confidence
on the part of my fel bw citi
zens.
For a number of reasons, how
ever, 1 have felt it to be for the
best real interests of the county
as well as a duty which I have
owed to other mterests with
which I am associated, to decline
the honor. Hence I havesoutrht.
through my friends and when
ever an opportunity has been
presented in a quiet way. to dis
courage the idea.
I would not feel justified in re
ferring to the matter in a public
way at this time but for the fact
that it has just been intimated to
me from reliable sources that
there is a move on foot to call a
mass convention, as soon as the
primaries are over, and put into
the field a ticket in opposition to
the one that may be nominated
at the primaries, and that an at
tempt is to be made to use the
writer's name as a candidate for
the senate in this convention.
As to the general plan of such
a movement I have nothing to
say at this time, but against the
use of my own name in such a
way, I most earnestly protest.
We have upon the statute books
of this state a method prescribed
for the nomination of candidates
for all ix)litical offices. If I had
thought best to become a candi
date for the state senate, or for
any other office, I certainly would
have felt it incumbent on me to
have complied with the provisions
of this law and have sought to
obtain the nomination in the reg
ular way. Not having deemed it
wise to do this i certainly couia
not and would not consent to ac
cept a nomination made in con
travention to the provisions of
this law. even were such a nomi
nation tendered me.
While again expressing my
keen appreciation of the honor, I
must, therefore, respectfully re
quest that if such a movement
really exists, my name be given
no further consideration in con
nection therewith.
Respectfully,
A. T. BUXTON.

The Business: Not the Men.
To the Editor: In the recent
trials of the cases against the
saloons of Hillshoromynamewas
frequently connected with the
prosecution. It is an ojvn secret
that I have given my time and
money in an honest effort to en
force the law and I have no ap
ologies to make nor excuses to
otlVr, I attended each trial.
an interested spectator and it
was easy to see, after the first
trial, that the prosecution could
not succeed at the present term.
A feeble attempt was made to
6how that I was prompted by
malice in my efforts to aid the
prosecution and that such feeling
is the result of the recent city
election. The people of this city
know better. It is well known
that I have opposed the manner
in which these saloons are con
ducted for over eighteen months
and my opiosition has been no
toriously public. I am honest in
my convictions and in every en
deavor I have made to enforce
the law acrainst them. I am in
no way discouraged over the re
cent trials and will continue the
contest. It is now up to the peo
ple to say whether the present
conditions shall continue, and I
am not afraid to trust the peo
ple. Fifteen informations are
still pending against the saloon
keepers. The contest has iust
commenced and will continue un
til results are obtained. All who
are acquainted with me know
that it is not the saloon men I am
fighting, but the business they
are engaged in. The law has
been violated, and as a good citi
zen, I have a right to aid and en
courage prosecution and it is this
right I am exercising, and no
amount of abuse cau change my
course.

Saloon Cases Continued to Fall Term
The jury in the circuit court
after being engaged for two days
in the trial of E. D. Wann & Z.
Gragg, charged with selling in
toxicating liquor to Ward Ennes,
a minor, returned a verdict of
not guilty late Friday afternoon,
and were discharged. The case
of State against W. V. Wiley was
set for trial Friday morning, but
owing to the delay in disposing
of the Wann & Gragjf ease, the
Wiley case was dismissed. There
are now fifteen informations re
maining, four against V. E. Mc
Court. F. E. Cornelius and W.
V. Wiley, and three against
Wann & Gragg. The cases tried
against McCourt, Cornelius and
Gragg & Wann each resulted in
acquittal and Deputy District At
torney Wall and Attorney H. T.
Bagley, who conducted the pro
secutions, deemed it useless to
make any further attempt at
conviction with the present jury
panel and had tne remaining
cases continued until the fall
term of court. At that time, it
is understood, Attorneys John
M. Wall and II. T. Bagley will
conduct the cases on behalf of
the state.
Attorney II. T. Bagley, speak
ing of the cases, said: "It was
quite evident after the first trial
that we would not secure a con
viction at this term of court We
had but three peremptory chal
lenges to jurors in each case.
