Rabbit Hunter Injured Barber Found Dead The Seoret Power (Communicated) Monongahela City is about to hold an election. The people are beginning to discover that there is some preceding history. The secret is our.

During the fall of 1912 some interests controlling a rate cutting newspaper and a mail order business, gathered together some of their unsuspecting friends and proceeded to hold secret meetings in a hotel Voters Should Decide Prize Winners Named While out rabbit hunting Saturday! Charles, the 16- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Naylor, ef near Webster, was accidently shot and probably fatally injured, by his brother Oliver. Saturday morning five of the Naylor brothers and several of the neighbor boys started out rabbit hunting. They had got about a mile from home, the party in the meantime having separated when Oliver started a rabbit.

He raised' his gun and fired. Rushine un to where the rabbit was thought to be, he was horrified to find the bleeding form of his brother. The party was quickly called together and the unfortunate boy was carried to the home of Russell Helens, who lived some distance from where the accident occured. A physician was called and it was found that Charles had received the full contents of the load in his back and arms, several shots having punctured the right lung. It is not known just how the accident occurred, but the supposition is that the two brothers saw the rabbit at the same time and Oliver not knowing that Charles was in front of him blazed away just as the unfortunate boy raised up to fire at the same rabbit.

A number of the concien-tious members protested, nevertheless in a secret meeting, a Revision Board for the city was selected. The secret power knew better than disclose its hand, therefore it secured a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on "important business" packed that meeting and had it leemmendto councils the election of those persons, as a revision board.

Councils accepted the apparent recom mendations of the Chamber of Commerce. In fact the cut and dry of the secret powers of the hotel room, and elected the designated persons. Result an increase of over 50 in the total valuations of real estate and the consequent increase of taxes. This is necessarily followed by an increase of rents. What does the Secret Power care what becomes of the laborers' money? Flushed with success the promoters of the secret room caucus cast their greedy eyes on the offices to be filled at the next city election and again the slate was to be arranged.

The Chamber of Commerce could not again be worked with safety and another scheme must be devised for the secret power well knows the "love" of the people for slates devised in back room caucuses. A select number get or pretend to get the expression of opinion of a hundred or more citizens. Those not wise to the scheme honestly suggest their respective choices and consequently scatter their votes over a large number. The wise ones bunch their votes on a few. The votes are counted and recorded in the 'big book, this also in a back room i and the slate is complete.

Some of them innocent victims perhaps even "Tammany" aims to lend respectability to its methods by selecting candidates who are decent There can be no ob jections to the candidates. It is the method.

Tomorrow the voters of Monongahela will be called upon to elect a city controller and four members of Council under the provisions of the new third class city law passed recently by the legislature. There is practically no contest on the controller fight and B. L. Ross will be returned a winner, but his opponent T. M.

Bealls will likely receive a good complimentary vote. The councilmanic fight cannot be conjectured, and it will likely take the official count before the result will be known. There are eight candidates for this office and their names will appear on the ballot in the following order. CITY CONTROLLER Vote for One B. L.

vet the voters will have the last say, and they will probably vote their own convictions and will not be bopsed or led from a duty which they owe themselves and the munieipa'ity. All of the eight men won their nomination honestly and fairly at the primaries, and it remains for all the citizensand they alone to say who will manage their affairs in the new council. True it is that four of the candidates received the endorsement of the recently formed Community Club, yet this should not be taken as a criterion, as eleven hundred other voters certainly will have something to say, and their votes will be final. While the Community Club was strictly within their rights in endorsing the four candidates, yet the manner in which the local publication took occasion to vent its spleen in an unwarranted and uncalled for attack not only upon four of the candidates but upon the mayor, the city treasurer, and a private citizen made it appear that the intentions of the law were being abrogated, and that ring rule was still to be in force with the Community Club or some of its members at the helm. This new non-partisan law is an op portunity for which Monongahela has long been waiting, and now that it is in force it is the duty of the citizens to take advantage of its provisions and elect men to the various officers who will not be bossed and who will work for the common good of all, and will not be for any selfish interest or for special privileges, nor should they be bound by anv political compact or faction, who could in any way jeopardize them in the transaction of any business that effects every citizen and taxpayer.

We present the names of the eight men to the intelligent voters, believing that the matter rests entirely with them, and it is their duty and their Clothing That's Different Clothing That will Please For Young And Old Come and See Fauble The big Hallowe'en celebration is still the talk and many fine features are praiseworthy.
