This Is our last issue before election
and we warn our readers to beware of
the campaign lies which will be sprung
on candidates between now and election
day. They are lies, and are gotten up
TO fool the voters. A determined effort
is to be made to beat the democratic
candidates for the legislature by these
means in the Prairie precincts. No
matter how plausible these lies may be.
or whichever party they may be design
ed to hurt, the safest way is to ignore
them entirely Don't let them fool you.
