Statement From Newton Township.

Editors Republican: We do not wish to enter into any verbal warfare, but we do wish to state that as supporters of the subsidy proposition, that if false and Misleading statements were made by us and our friends, we are not conscious of thp fact. While we know that some of our friends voted against us, they have frankly told us they did so because they felt that, they were already burdened with obligations and taxes and were not affected in any way by the ravings of any erratic and eccentric individuals. As we have at no time made any boastful claims, we have no apology and no ill feelings over the result. We also know that some of your opponents are not proud of their victory and have expressed regret that such absurd claims are now in circulation. O. C. HALSTEAD. ALBERTUS M. YEOMAN. B. M. MAKEEVER.' MARION -FREELAND.
