THE ANIMALS STIRRED up!

THE ANIMALS STIRRED UP!
1t must certainly have been amusing
to see the portly form of G. NJ. Hoover
as he flew over the sidewalks of our city
making desperate race for the Time.
office, in order to avoid being too late fol-
last weeks issue of that sheet, to endorse
all of those things which our farmer can
didate has taught him is for the interest
for Ford county!
What plea for votes.
When the GLOBE had trained its guns
upon the democratic ticket. and shown
TO .he voters how perfectly their interests
lay in the same line with those of the re
publican candidates. and how the inter-
estS of the labOring classes of the county
conflict with the interests of the candi-
dates of the democratic party of this
county. and especially its candidate for
Representative, the methods resorted
to by the Times to regain foothold and
hold their people in line are certainly
calculated TO excite mirth. Note the
article signed:
"Yours Truly, Geo. NJ. Hoover
ct should have been:
''Yours for votes, Geo. NJ. Hoover.'O
And tell us. pray. what there is in it
which was not stolen entire from the
principles of Mr.. Finley as enunciated in
last weeks GLOBE, with the exception
of that portion respecting irrigation,
which was'borowed from Mr.. Finley's
speech in accepting the nomination as
standard bearer of the republican party
of this county, on the 22nd day of last
July. What an educator Mr.. Finley has
proven himself; that this man. Mr..
Hoover, who. according to the Times.
is the browning effort of the Creator in
point of ability, should have his desired
legislative course marked out by Mr.. Fin
ley, who, according to this same Times.
occupies the other extreme in the point
of creative results, is certainly a sugges-
tive circumstance. ''Out of the mouths
of babes and sucklings." etc.
1t might be pertinent to inquire why it
is that no statement of any character re-
specting his stand on any of the questions
so close to all of the people of our county
has ever been made by Mr.. Hoover until
he was compelled to use Mr.. Finley's
principles as a cork with which he hopes
to stop the leak in his political boat? 1t
will be strange indeed. if the people of
the county cannot or will not distinguish
between man who is imbued with the
spirit of interest in their welfare because
he is one of them, and the man who is
compelled to play second fiddle to these
principles in order to gobble their votes.
The Times says Mr.. Hoover holds but
$1,000 in tax sale certificates. and that
$1,000 of this is on land on which MIR.
HOover's Loan Company has mortgages,
and that these certificates were made to
protect the company!
Great shades! what a philanthropist!
1t certainly is wonderful that any man
should be willing to loan his money on
the best security in the world at per
cent. month to protect some one! But
MIR. Hoover has made this great sacrifice,
and so anxious was he to protect his poor
loan company. that, for fear it might
have mortgage on some land that be
did not know about. he attended one of
our tax sales and upon the first piece of
land being offered he bid for the whole
delinquent tax list. and demanded that
all the certificates be made to him. and
was only persuaded not to continue his
demand by others who had attended the
sale offering to accept less than the whole
property taxed for the amount of the
taxes.
The story of Mr.. HOover's virtues as a !
is certainly told in manner
which indicates that, so far as he is con-
cerned. the Times has done as the beaten I
race-hOrse does when he turns into the !
homestretch hopelessly left.
They Inadvertently. we nope. allow
their sour grapes to appear in a stab at
MIR. Finley and the people he represents
in the following:
HE thus far did nothing tina, distiu-
guishes him from the ordinary race of
