card tomorrow in connection with a
two column editorial of specifications:
Sheriff Beck publicly asserted that Mr..
G. Z. Wright, editor of the Herald, had
four years ago offered to support him in
the canvass for sheriff if he would pay
him lWright) $1,000. The Commercial
Herald win commence systematic ex-
pose of Mr.. Beck's alleged crookedness
in Office" The card reads: Il have
been basely slandered by the radical
sheriff of Warren county and !
have replied to the slander and
pictured in another column the
slandered. 1t is barely possible
Beck may feel somewhat insulted. If
such is the case, he knows what steps to
take to secure an interview, man to man,
for the purpose of wiping out the insult.
L deem it necessary to make this state
ment, as l am opposed to street difficult
ties for fear that innocent persons might
get hurt and for other good reasons, and
because the laws permit sheriff to carry
concealed weapons, privilege that do
not have. Simply asking that my friends
see that | have fair play, l again de-
nounce Beck as a perjured villain and
thief c. E. WRIGHT,
