HUsKING MITTs, at Wiley's.

TIE scene was on Wednesday evening,
in front of Sturtevant's saloon, and the
characters, Van Orsdol, candidate for
Sheriff, and sundry well known drinking
men about town The whole crowd had
evidently "been out to see man." and
were telling elevated and happy, crack
ing jokes, laughing loudly and introducing
Van us the next Sheriff. Presently the
latter said: well, boys, let's go ip and
take drink" and the crowd, following
his lead, entered the s: loon to imbibe.-
Now this true scene is not an unusual one
on our streets, whether by these parties
or others, but the significance of it is,
that the chief actor in it, Van Orsdol, is
going about the county trying to gain the
votes of honest men by representing him
self as II temperance man"

A Card en- Mr.. Knowles

Honest voters, who may have had thci
minds influenced adversely 10 Mr.. Laird
the Republican candidate for Sheriff, by
the report, published in the Co"ser0atine,
last week, and indusirously circulated by
his opponent, Mr. Van Orsdol and his
friends whenever they think it will
have influence, to the effect that Mr.. Laird
had broken faith with MIR. Knowles re
garding the deputyship OF the Office, may
have their eyes opened by the following
manly and unequivocal letter from Mr..
Knowles II completely disposes of the
charge of bad faith, and proves Mr.. Laird
to have acted the honorable and fair part
with Mr.. knowles, as he does with every
body:
TO TIE PUBIIc:-The Conseruotiye ap-
pears to think that there was an under
standing between J. ID. Laird and myself
in reference to the deputyship. There
was nothing OF the kind. No agreement
ever existed between Mr.. Laird and my
self about the office He has not repudia-
ted me, but has done as he agreed by me
in every respect, and ! fully endorse the
statement of Mr.. Laird in the BULLETIN of
Oct 1st, 1915. A. KNOWLES.

DIRTY WoRK.-Mr. Van Orsdol, the
Democratic candidate for Sheriff, has en-
ioyed the reputation of a straightforward
honorable man. Yet we fear tina. his in
ordinate desire to be elected is leading him
to do and say things in the present can
vass that in his cooler moments he would
regret, or else we have formed wrong
estimate of him. 1t is already thoroughly
known over the country that he has
sought and is seeking the aid of the rum
element, and in ways that do not rebound
to his credit as man or citizen. He has
come to be the candidate of that interest,
which is working hard to elect him; and
it is scarcely possibly that he has not
given the men engaged in the unlawful
whisky traffic assurance that, if elected, he
will not use his office to their disadvantage
1t is for the law-abiding citizens of the
county, of all parties, to say if the office
of Sheriff shall continue to be the refuge
of this class of law breakers.
Concerning Mr.. Van Orsdols manner of
work in another direction, we have rccciv-
ed a letter from one of the most rcspecta-
bic and truthful citizens of the east part
of the county, one who ordinarily does
not take an active interest in political
contests of this character. Our cores
pondent says:
"Of course YOU are aware that Il des-
perate effort is being made to defeat Mr..
Laird, by influencing the friends of Mr..
Knowles against him. My object in drop
ping you this note is to add proof of the
duplicitv and falschood of Mr. Van Ors-
dol in charging Laird with sacrificing
Knowles. On Friday | met Mr. Van Ors-
dol in company with r. w. Bodcll, when
the former told me that Laird had gone
back on Knowles, and that they had just
seen Knowles to that effect; this after
Knowles had denied it emphatically.'
This shows the kind of weapons MIR.
Van Orsdol is willing to use against his
opponent If he is content to receive aid
from such questionable work, he, as Il
man of honor and truth, should refrain
from engaging in it himself, But ii seems
that his intense desire to be elected Sher-
if overpowers all considerations of prin-
ciple or decency For this purpose he is
consorting with men of questionable rec
ord and reputation, adopting their tactics
and making them his confidants. In this
respect he is showing a weakness OF prin-
ciple that demonstrates ibis unfitness for
responsible public position. 1t is not too
harsh Judgment on Mr.. Van Orsdol to
say that he left the Republican party to
get office. He was successful in securing
the nomination for Sheriff from the oppo-
sition two years ago. In that canvass he
preserved his integrity as man, so far as
we know, but he was defeated. lie is
again a candidate, but he seems to think
that honor and integrity do not pay, and
is on the other tack For his own good
and that of the public, he should be
taught that this is certainly not profita-
Bile.

WE are told that Richmond, the saloon
keeper declares that he would give $500
if he could recall that bungling affidavit
that was published in the Conservative
last week over his name. We can well
believe it. He never would have father
ed it it he had..not been under the tutelage,
for the time, of IA blockhead We knew
it would prove a boomerang for the wills
ky ring and It's candidate, Mr. Van Orsdol,
for it brought out the fact that their whole
pesky crew of rum-sellers, with Richmond
at their head, were working for Van Ors-
dol and opposed to Laird. Law abiding
and respectable people know, by It's
means, just how the two candidates for
Sheriff stand affected toward the crime
creating and crime-abctting class of the
community

VAN OEsDoL told citizen of Fairbank
township the other day when soliciting his
vote, that he 'never spent So for intoxica-
ting liquors in his life" That may be So
but if his numerous visits to the saloons
in Independence during this canvass has
not cost him So, then he is the champion

'htli eefY tltlp
THE question presented to the voters of
the county at this election, in regard to
the Sheriff. is Il very simple one 1t is,
whether they want the Sheriff s office to
continue i'll one Of the Independence sa-
looms, and that officer be on good terms
with gamblers bummcrs, and rough char
acters of AL kinds, or whether they wish
it entirely above and beyond the influence
OF the breaking classes During the
present canvass Mr. Van Orsdol has made
his headquarters, in this city, at the places
where drinks are sold, and among his con
tidcntial adherents and most active sun
portcrs are the men who keep those places.
There is no reason to suppose that the
programme would be altered if he should
be elected; indeed, he would find it hard
to alter it. His competitor has kept en-
tircly aloof from such influences, has not
approached them himself or through any
other party for their support, and is in the
position that every officer ought to be, I'M
der no obligation that will cause him to
swcrve from the strict line of his duty to-
ward any interest and class. All that
remains is for intelligent and conscientious
voters to make the proper choice between
these candidates.

MORE DIRT.-We do not wish to be UNI
necessarily severe, we do not wish, nor do
we intend, if we can help it, to say any
thing before, that we cannot stand TO after
election, but if the reports that continual
iy come to us from reputable sources con
corning Mr.. Van Orsdol's work around the
county are true, we are compelled to say
that it Is most shameless and dcspicahlc.
After having sought for and fastened to
himself the support of practically the en-
tire whisky selling interest in TIE county,
he has the etfrontcry to 90 to reputable
voters and claim their support on the
/ ground that he is 4 temperance man, and,
worse than that, to assert that Mr.. Laird
is the candidate of the whisky ring Mr.
4 Van Orsdol knows that the last assertion
/ is a falsehood. fIe knows that Nj. Laird
has not made move to secure the whisky
vote. He knows that that influence is
working with all its might for him, Mr.
Van Orsdol, through the very instruments
that worked against him two years ago
/ and he knows that not one of these
men, or any OF their class, will support
Laird under any circumstances, and
he must be mad for Office to deliber-
ately falsify facts by making other repre-
sensations.
Now, as to Mr. Van Orsdo's temperance
record, we know something about it from
personal observation that may throw light
statement During the week following
his nomination, when it was suspected he
was fixing up" the saloon men of this
city, Van Orsdol was in and out of our
saloons in company with drinking men
quite frequently. We do not know what
I he did there, but We presume he treated
/ his friends or was treated by them. 1t
was the understanding of all who noticed
| his movements on these occasions, that he
was establishing an understanding with
the saloon keepers, and the event has
proved that he did. They are one and all
working for him, while he, with hypocriti
cal cant, is going around among the hon
est farmers, who are not acquainted with
his scheming, and telling them that he is
temperance man forsooth, and that MIR.
| Laird is the candidate of the rummles
We do not iuterposc partisan considera
ton in this convection. Decent, and hon
orable, and moral men, of all parties,
should unite to defeat II candidate who
Will thus cater to the worst elements of the
community, and descend to the lowest and
/ meanest acts of the demagogue to accom-
/ plish his election. Voters, satisfy your
1 selves if these things are not so, and act
accordingly.

Now here are two contradictory state

affidavit is made by the proprietor OF the
worst whisky hole in Buchanan county; 4
man who stands upon the records of our
Courts us a self confessed gambler and
keeper of nuisance; who has just been
mulcted in penalties for fragrant violations

and who, moreover, has a personal inter

character of the man who shall he Sheriff
of the county. The contradictory affida-
Wit is made by man of confessedly good
moral character and habits, who has the
confidence and respect of the community !;
an honest man engaged in honest bust,

interest in the canvass, is about to remove
