the purpose of hearing ]. S. Thomp

by lot of free speech and ''fre'
press" republicans, who wanted ''tht
d calamity howlers to take to the
bush" The HERALD is of the opin
ion that ii some of its republican
friends would pay little more atten
ton to the spirit of political oppres
sion that prevails in some sections o
Phillips county, and not quite s,
much to that of the south, peopl
would have more faith in the profes
, sions of their platforms.
