less embarrassing for them, If Geo
NJ. Hoover had remained silent, and
the Globe believed that he would allow
the article to pass by unnoticed else it
would not have been written.
The Globe is fully aware that Mr..
Hoover's interests in the Pioneer COM
pany are such that he was in duty
bound to pay the s., 600 in tax sale
certificates. 1t was on land in which
the company was interested, and which
In all probability, would soon come in
to the company's hands, and that they
would allow the taxes to 60 unpaid with
a "a per cent penalty attached 10 ne,tt..
er probability nor q fact. Thi. Law
which Mr.. Hoover opposes, and which
causes the Globe SO much worry, is the
result of republican rule,
The Globe again dives under cover
by charging that the Times belittled
the agriculture society by stating that
its meetings were meagerly attended.
The Times explicitly stated that it was
an organization worthy in its objects.
its meetings were not largely attended;
does the Globe claim that they we're?
This paper has given as much space to
farmers as the Globe ever has. 1t is
not subsidized BY the county ticket,
and aside from the campaign. it has
two farmer readers to the Globes one.
1t has two much respect for the IN
telligence Of its readers to waste time
in denying this puerile attempt At pre-
judice.
1t is the same old story Of monte d
men being demanded in the halls Of our
legislature.-Globe.
Hardly. dear brethren. 1t is the
story of taxpayer against non-tax-
payer. Of man Of ability against
one that hasn't. Of self made man
agsinst one that isn't. Of one that has
thousands of dollars at stake, against
one that hasn t.
They say that the law regarding tax
sale certificates is wrong, not the man
who profits by it. Granted. We have
cast no reflections on Mr.. Hoover be-
cause he invests in them; VIC simply
ask the voters who is most likely to
apply the remedy, he who makes it a
source Of profit, or he who must pro-
tect himself against it?-Globe.
This is another anomalous statement.
J. L. Finley has no decided land in this
county, and the chances for him requir.
ing protection against the tax laws are
exceedingly small. G. NJ. Hoo yer, on
the other hand, has $500 acres that
must necessarily bring him continually
under the shadow of the law.
In closing the article relative to Mr..
Hoover's platform, the Globe brings
forth its calcium lights, fire crackers,
and all the other small thunder at its
command. In examining that portion
Of Mr.. Hoover's stand relating to fore.
closures, our neighbor gets upon tip toe
and screams "What does it mean?'
and then twists, d,storts, and misrep-
resents MIR. Hoover's meaning so pal
rably that if it were pot in the heat Of
a campaign, which is a sufficient ex-
PLANTATION, the public would surmise
thata weak mind conceived it. Mr..
Hoover's statement is as fol lows:
II am in favor Of law that will al

closure OF lands in which to redeem,
to extend to all persons who occupy
their homo S or lands, or who have,
though absent not wilfully abandoned
them.
1t is practically the same law that
the legislature agitated at its last sess-
ion and it was a measure that would
prove of incalculable benefit to the
farmers. The Globe attempts to make
its readers believe that it is a measure
hurtful to those who are compelled to
leave their farms temporarily. This
is mere rot as any one who will glance
at the article may see. That clause is
inserted for the express purpose of
warning the speculator. The Law is
a just and conservative measure. It
does not promise the earth, because
it could not give it. The law Matched
as a campaign egg for Mr.. Finley to sit
on, Is pure misunderstanding more
nor less.
The Globe makes a huge mistake in
supposing its oily sophlst1es 60 down
with the people, and the Times has an
abiding faith 10 their judgment and
good sense.
Voters, look for moment at these
two men. If j. L. Finley we're to
leave this country land we were advis-
ed that he was seriously thinking of it
before his nomination. his going would
not cause ripple Of comment. He
would leave here as he came-a good
man morally, but one whose value As .
citizen is not above the average. Dis
claiming disparagement. We assert that
Mr.. Finley has did nothing more for
