WYNNE BROTHERS ARRESTED
John and W. H. Wynne were placed
under arrest this morning by Sheriff
Claud Pickard, charged with violating
the prohibition law, and are now in
the county jail pending the making of
bonds.
W. H. is charged with maintaining
a place for the illegel sale of intoxi-
cating liquors and John with trans-
porting and illegal selling. Of-
ficers searched the Wynne restaurant
on East Main street this morning and
unearthed several quarts of alcohol
and some whiskey.
A court of inquiry is being held this
afternoon by county and city officials
and it is quite likely evidence will be
secured that will cause other arrests.

Republicans are much elated see-
ing in the victory a hearty endorse-
ment of the candidacy of President-
Candidate Hughes and a correspond-
ing condemnation of the policies of
President Wilson. They declare
Maine will give 25,000 maority for
the Republican candidates in the
November election.
The Democrats made desperate
efforts to carry the state. One of
their most prominent speakers was
Sam'l Gompers, the great labor leader,
who traveled the state from end to
end, bitterly denouncing Hughes and
the Republican party and candidates,
and other labor leaders followed him
with like denunciations. Dozens of
the prominent Democratic speakers
beat the Maine bushes hunting for
votes, President Wilson's cabinet of-
ficers being in the fore front of the
battle. The Republicans were like-
wise active, Candidate Hughes, Col.
Roosevelt, Senator Fairbanks and
other leaders being principal speakers.
The theme of the Republicans was
Protection and Preparedness, and
they were the winning cards.
They (the trustees) then returned it
to the Development company, who
have since been paying taxes, etc. The
M. E. Church, North, gave up all in-
terest in the property, but the M. E.
Church, South, still maintained that
they had ownership in the property
and are now suing for recovery.
Our fellow-townsman, Judge J. B.
Dudley, is one of the leading lawyers I
for the Development company, and it
is said made a most clear and con-
vincing argument of his client's side
of the case in his opening statement,
the chief point of his argument being
that the M. E. Church, South, people
had given up the idea of any owner-1
ship in the property; had, indeed, es-
tablished another college on a plat
of ground near Edmond, which they!
were exploiting in every way possible,
showing conclusively that until re-
cently they felt they had no interest in
Epworth.
It is expected the suit will be on
trial all this week.

WILSON MONEY SCARCE.
New York, Sept. 12.—Democrats
are scarey about betting on the re-
sult of the presidential election, ac-
cording to declarations made today
by Republicans. At national Republi-
can headquarters Charles H. Sherrell
said:
"Downtown business men cannot
find a cent of Wilson money on this
state or on the general result. They
are also hunting Democratic currency
that says Wilson will carry Indiana."
The declaration was made by Will-
iam Leary, former superintendent of
elections, that he could not lay a bet
, that Hughes will carry New York by
100,000, even from a member of the
Democratic national committee. "I
had to give 2 to 1," he added, "that
Hughes will beat Wilson in the na-
tion."
