He Stuck To The Letter.
From The Marietta Times.
The Republicans are finding fault with Representative Kemper, because he did not fulfill the pledge upon which he was elected, on the Prohibition question.
Mr. K. evidently acted upon the pledge given below, which is an exact copy of his letter addressed to a certain landlord of this town:
Akron Pa., Nov. 5, 1886
Dear Sir:
I am a Candidate for Assembly And solicit your vote and influence i voted against High License i voted against the last Bill which was to make $100 in Addition to the Present License which would have made it $150 in stead of $50 as at Present and if Elected will favor you again for this reason i ask your support
