Our only excuse Tor giving any space
70 comments on Campbeirs letter is that
tne ou!i season OF the year Is here and
news 10 scarce: we Will therefore tackle
she unprontsole TASK.
I. His rigmarole recites that he did not
consult with D. r. Streeter, etc, The
inference is that other officers had been
10 the habit of so consulting. This Is un.
fair In the extreme. Neither Campbell
uor any other county oflcer past or pres
ent, will say that the writer has been in
the habit Of trying to influence his off,
cial action in any way; and we have Eever
had time nor desire t. hang around the
county. board sessions and offer sugges.
tions.
2. Campbelrs statement agrees with
the Records last week rs to his election
u treasurer and commissioner. It was
only mentioned In the Record article
because Campbell threw uucalled- for slurs
1t the EDITORS friend who wanted to See
the vote fairly cast and correctly counted
in Selz precinct and who believed tina,
it would not be counted If q shadow of
an excuse could be found for dong other
wise. The writer submits that. on Mr..
Campbelps own statement of The matter,
the commissioner was under sufficient
obligation to at least have remsined n-u-
trail in the fight against him during the
past summer; and Mr. C. g action can only
be explained by reference to the we'll
known fact that there sre men so satu-
rated with eg0tlsm and pride that they
are constrained to hate and despise those
who have befriended them. Furthermore,
had Campbell sought Strceter for advice
and counsel, the advice given would Ger
talnly not have been worse than tha,
which he did receive For he would have
been advised

elected thereby.
And, il be had taken such advice, It il
likely that he would have felt much bet
ter satisfied with himself than he does ut
present. and the people OF his district
would certainty have been much better

In answer to the question as to why the
Record has changed toward MIR. Camp.
bell within two years, the writer will
state that he is not the only man that
supported Mr.. Campbell! two wears ago
who is not satisfied with his course during
that time. Campbelrs record now and
Campbcll's record up to two years ago
are different matters,
