Owing 10 the mixed up cond tion Of
CIR politics we had decided To have lit
lie to say this week concerning poll
tics, AT Least 50 ti! as local candidates
were concerned i:ut II do this after
reading the Evening Telegram o. " ed
ncSdav. would be but little less than
criminal. When voters are being de
ceived by such wholesale lying, honest
men can not afford 10 remain silent.
The Land and River Improvement
company own and operates the Even

Mr.. Mead two years ago with their
money and influence, ANA they are do

10 defeat Nj. Iubbs are SIMPLY frantic,

and their money swallowed mp t,ioTn,
rather,D by their hirelings, while Mr.
Tuhhs keeps right on gaining ground
every day Their case grows dssrcr

Is left fer them To - is To resort To
fraud and les, So Their organ is wound
sip and set in mott nil and " "dn@sla,

long, under flaming headlines, making
the false announcement that Mr. ) Z.

the people that through Ills great ig

sixty seven. and without knowing VI lio
the sgners are, states that many of
