1.-THE Grafton Sentinsl wants Us
TO state upon what authority we
make the charge that "some Of the

State-few In number but great 10
their own eslimation-have been
writing letters and pulling strings
for weeks in the interest Of Senator
Camden" 1t is sufficient AZ this
time to state that we personally
know the facts TO be true as stated
and have ample proof Of all we
charge. We happen to know that
the Republican party in this State
is divided and almost hopelessly 20.
This division has been brought
about and nursed into activity BY
a relentless, cruel, sneering attack
upon every Republican of promi.

bow down al the Syndicate's altar.
That malignity has not saved Max,

to "crush" these men out polite

bition Of a portion Of the Republi.

Republican newspaper that dares
to tell the truth. II is owned BY
no clique or gangof politicians and
has no political axes to grind. It
is pledged to no man or men for U.
S. Senator or any Office. II is for
a straight, manly, Republican con.

patience with that class Of Repub.

who stab loyal Republicans in the

off all Republicans who do not bow
down at Camden's shrine.
The State Journal does not care
whether the Grafton Sentinel likes
lis way Of presenting the facts or
not. The Scntincl even gives voice
to threat
"Let US not begin to fight each

We are not afraid of being "ou,

who can put US out unless we are
