The Cresset virtually repeats its
SANDER against Mr.. DeGeer. by saying
'he is more likely to be convicted than
to be elected"

The crowd at the Sun City alliance
picnic last Saturday was not so large
as the one at Medicine Lodge, but it
got away with two barbecued beeves,
and was as happy as clans at high tide.
Messrs. Lands, DeGeer and Hickox

Our farmers are becoming indignant
1T the way droveS of cattle are being

all expenses, there was $3.50 left over
which the alliance gave Chairman
Funk to be given 20 Jerry Simpson

expense of his campaign.
