Wade anu Bumstead claim that Van Beck
will throw the Holland Settlement solid
for him on election day, but VIC doubt
whether he can tlo 1t. Charlie and Bill
are making special efforts to defeat Nc

was sheriff. But they won't get much
assistance in this part of the county on
election day.
The statement on our fourth page
that Mr.. Clark was nominated by Mr..
Higbee refers to the candidacy for the
treasurrship. Mr.. BumsteaG did present
Mr.. C.'s name as candidate for the Of

The g. A. Il. entertainment Saturday
night was very enjoyable affair, and
was we'll attended. Owing to the fact
that the thrashcrs were ut work in tho

unable to be present. Several of the boys

however. and the general public was we'll
represented. There were rectations, mu-

To the Editor Of the RECORD:
! Noticing several "mistaI<es' III the Winons
Times report Of the late democratic convention,
l take the liberty of correcting them. la the
| frst plnee, the Times accuses you Of debating
the nominations. This is untrue, as every one
| who was present knows. As to the nominees,
am certain no one aakcd A. to whether they were
democrats or repubicans-for or against county.
seat removal. Those present at the convention,
believe, look ed only at the ability and reliabil
ity of the nominees, and solely took To heart the
interest of the county and the people who believe
| In fair dealing. That's all to the convention.
As to the nominees, you may rest assured that
the people Of this part Of te county are friendly
| TO them. We have our differences, of course
| but very few are willing tO have incompetent
men or men who would disgrace the county
elected to Office And for that reason McGee
Campbell and Mcintyre will not have cause to
] complain when they hear tho result of tho vote
| In this section.
The Times axtieae says that would sell out my
best friend. regardless Of consequences. Messrs
| Hickle b Frost must judge every one by them
| selves. They seem to forget the article In their
! September issue announcing everybody for even
thinking OF moving the county seat, and calling
them all sorts OF hard names. But everybody
also noticed their change after Thursday last,
| when Mr.. Wade came down OH the stage and
had a private session with the editors, lasting
from 10 lip. M. ut Mr.. Hoover's residence
But time Will toll whether they have really made
anything by selling themselves.
| The whole Times article is q combination o
lies; but who can expect anything else from
that organ? However, will not be hard OIL my
fricuds Of the Times, AS every here knowi
they have been bought and paid for and thei,
article ID therefore harmless. Besides, The pri
vate troubles of my young friends have affected
their bratns-ifthey ever had sny-so much thai
| one should not blame but pity them.
Respectfully, yours, MATHEW BAKER.
