The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1883-10-25

own statement above quoted and by
going into the convention, to abide by
the result thereof and to assist in the
election of the successful candidate,
Whoever he might be, instead of Dolting
the convention and running iidepcnd-
ent as lie is now doing. But he will
say that he withdrew his name from
the convention. So he did, but not
until he had been informed that lie had
received less than one third of all the
Votes on the informal ballot, and not
then until every vote on the forutal
ballot had been cast. If Mr. Mills did
not intend to abide by the result Of the
convention, why did he 90 into it at all.
And when he saw that the ''advices'
were unfavorable to him instead of
"exceedingly favorable,' why did he
not do as lie had tolt. his friends lie
would do. cease to be u candidate after
that date"
Mr.. Bloom pledged himself to his
friends before going into the conven-
tioh that he would abide by the results
thereof and support the successful
nominees Of the convention whoeye.-
they might be. Every delegate present
ut said convention is in duty and honor
bound to support tie nominees of the
convention. If MIR. Mills had been
wronged III amy manner in the convpn-
tion. or had been defeated by the votes
Of delegates who had no right to seats
in the convention. he would have been
more justitiabie in seeding therefrom.
Mr.. Mllis,says that two years ago he
received only eleven votes in .he Re-
publican county convention and that
he was elected by over 800 majority.
Dear readers, it is not our custom 10
tell Il man that he IS Il liar even ii we
know such to be the fact fUr we con-
slider it bad language. We will do him
the justice to simply state tl'at he is in
error for we kn0W that lie received
nearly thirty votes at the convention
instead OF eleven. When Mills was de-
feated in convention two years ago he
had served but one term aud IL had
been the usual custom in this county
to give faithful officer second term,
excepting OF course when in 1879 Mills
ran independent against Jimmy Walk
er who had served but one terln.) lie
consequently Went before the people
and claimed that they owed him all
other term; that it had Leell the usual
custom to give an efficient Lilicer IL
second term. lie did not tell them
that he would want Il third term just
us much as he wanted u second, but lie
told them that if they would give him
one more term he would be satisfied
The e'ple complied with his request.
Does he abide by his promise? lie
says he would like another term but
feels as if it would be imposing on his
friends to ask it. Little does he care
how much he imposes Oh his friends.
What claim has Mr.. Mills Oh the
voters OF Mobiles county. lie has had
his two terms with which lie said he
would be satisfied. The people of No.
bles county have paid him over Six
Thousand to: services. What has he
done for the people in return? lie has
l'eld office for them. That is what he
IS residing here for. He is not inter-
+sted III this county except to hold its
offices. lie OWNS no property here and
he pays net u dollar Of taxes into the
treasury from which he wants to con-
time to draw his pap. Can he again
g" before the people aud plead poverty
; after having been paid SIN THOUSAND
DOLLARS But you ask what does he
go with his money? He buys town and
district orders (of the very men who
pay him for holding otlice) at Il dis
C''t!it It'NlNS AIClIl "lltlG l!ltN
ca!li!Ol be re:lc!,e! by the ;.sseSSOr il,
order that he may escape assisting in
paying his salary and other county and
town expenses. Are the people OF this
county SO ignorant that they can have
the wool drawn over their eyes again
10y the pleading OF poverty by linn !:
Never. They will vote for Mr. Bloom
because he is competent, because he is
deserving. because he takes an interest
in the welfare of the county and it's
people, because lie is Il taxpayer paying
some years over Fifty Dollars into the
county treasury, and because he was
nominated hy the b+st representative
county convention THAT ever WAS held
in Mobiles county. Every fair minded
man will vote for him; every Rrpub|i
can and most OF the Democrats will
vote for l.im.
