Subsidy Elections Next Saturday

m m The Purtelle railroad subsidy elections will be held next Saturday in Carpenter and Newton townships. The voters of those townships certainly ought to know .enough about Purtelle by this time to go into the matter with their eyes open. The only thing Purtelle has accomplished in all his railroad “work” in the past two years to create a lot Of unpaid bills, scatter a lot of bad checks and create a universal lack of confidence in himself and his schemes. He 'has not done a solitary thing that would convince any man of good business intelligence that there is anything back of -the project' but wind, and blamed poor wind at that.
