According to the report in yesterday morning's issue of the Herald regard ing Sorley's meeting at Mekinock, which report was made by Sorley him self, they undertake to show that S. G. Skulason had no sympathy from the people present. The truth of the mat ter, according to the report of one who heard It all, is that after Sorley had finished speaking someone in the audience requested S. G. Skulason to tell why he was not an insurgent. During Skulason's remarks an in surgent made a motion for Skulason to sit down, whereupon Skulason ask ed If there was a second to the motion, stating that if the majority of the meeting desired him to sit down he would be glad to do so, but as there was not even a second to the motion he continued. During his remarks he asked Sorley if he did not take money for voting for Roach, to which question Sorley responded in the nega tive. Skulason then asked him if he would be willing to sign an affidavit to that effect and stated that he was a notary public and could take such acknowledgement Sorley refused to give it. The Evening Times now desires to ask Mr. Sorley why he is unwilling to give such an affidavit if there Is no truth in the rumor. Sorley claimed in this public meet ing that it kept him most of his time denying such falsehoods, and it ap pears to the Evening Times that he must be afraid of further legal pro ceedings when he refuses to give such an affidavit Sorley also said he was running for a pesky little office in the 7th district. Evidently he don't appreciate the honor, does he simple want it to help out another democrat? On Saturday night, according to re- ports, Skulason demonstrated that he was able to hold his own and take care of himself even under the fire of an ex perienced attorney like Sorley, and when the votes in Mekinock village and townships, are counted it will ab solutely vindicate him, and Sorley will be shown that the people have ho con fidence in him in that community.
