Agent in Charge of Remon
strances Presented to Court
Issues Statement
Sfecial to the Telegraph
Newport, Pa., March 14. The
Rev. R. SI. Ramsey, pastor of the J
First Presbyterian church of New-;
port, who had charge of the work of;
securing signers to remonstrances
aginst the R IOV licenses in Perry
county ami ir i. ularly in Newport,
and presenting the same to the court :
has issued the following statement:
"The agent entrusted with the New- !
port remonstrances would thank the
good people of Newport, the town
council, the officers of the town, and
the Rev. Mr. Whltmer. and Mr. Coble;
for their assistance.
•"There was on one remonstrance 1
575 names, on another 377 and on a 1
third 403. No names were called in
question on any remonstrance save on
the town council's paper. Quite aj
little blackguardism was indulged in
by the wet counsel but no one hopes
for true and honest dealings from any j
one connected with the business di-j
rectly or indirectly.
"The agent confesses that he was
mistaken in assuring people that!
Judge Meiser was not ta wet candi- j
date Counsel for the wets declared
him to be such at least ten times in '
open court, the judges and lawyers
present took down the votes in his
presence as votes for him as wet, and j
during the whole discussion he said
not a word in protest as he did to us
all when he was running for the office.
One remonstrance stood 375 to 19, or:
over 19 to one, the electors 171 to 19.;
or exactly 9 to 1. Yet he voted
against the remonstrance. His name
also appeared on all three applica- 1
tions for license, two years ago when '
all three were shown to be lawbreak- j
ers. Tt was a gross injustice to us I
that he should sit on the case, apart
l'rom question of right or wrong.

big show after the other shows Jiave
ended.
The plan was heartily endorsed by
Governor Brumbaugh who also ad
dressed the county fasr people as
suring them of his interest and his de
sire to give as much State aid as pos
sible, asking that in return the fairs
make an effort to increase agriculture
exhibits.
The association is having its annual
meeting at the Bolton House and dis
cussing means to get more State aid
for premiums. Secretary Patton said
that at some of the fairs too little at
tention was given to secure large ex
hibits of farm products and that the
premiums were not ample to attract
the farmers to take his fruits, live
stock, vegetables and crops front the
farm to the fair for display. Mr. Pat
ton pointed out the help that these
agricultural exhibits can be to every
community, inasmuch as they create!
a keen rivalry. He said that the De- ]
partment was planning to hold a State I
wide corn and apple show at Harris- j
burg next January in connection with
the meetings of the State Hoard of j
Agriculture and other allied organiza- j
tions. One of the classes will be i
known as the County Fair Prizewin-1
ners" Class to which only winners of'
county fair prizes will be eligible, j
Through this contest it is hoped to
create greater interest in the county I
fair competitions as the exhibitor who I
wins at his local fair can come to i
Harrisburg to compete for tht State
honors and State premiums. In addi
tion the prize list will contain special
prizes for the fair associations pro
ducing the most meritorious exhibits.
The sweepstakes prizes will be of con
siderable value, the total value of
prizes to aggregate over SSOO.
