peration?" Get onto that boys. He
meant ''goaded" but he'll never know
the difference, poor fellow
"A. II. Blair has been tried and his
record two years agois a guarantee of his
future actions. No Republican or true
Democrat who believes in the enforce
ment of the law can afford to vote
against him. He has the ability and
the integrity and will be an honor to
Trego county.
Did you ever stop to think what
sort of a character a fellow must have
who holds this otfice-what shall we call
it-Inter- State Scavenger? will that fit?
You know he followed this same calling
up in Nebraska. When fellow wants
to be so worthless and unsavory that
nothing will hurt him then he can be
employed by towards to do their dirty
work.
The official ballot of this judicial
district is the largest published in the
5CSlOC StA1N GAi46 SO01AOy DIOOelO1y 1CctNtS al
of them in the size of the blanket" OF
course it is no damage to the printer
but it does look extravagant to give
two-foot column of county ink to a sim
gle candidate to please few friends and
especially when his name occurs on one
or more other tickets.
1t IS generally conceded that the
public schools Of Trego county are in
better condition to-day than ever before
owing to the indefatigable energy and
industry of A. S. Peacock. Those in
terested in good schools regardless of
politics will vote for Mr. Peacock for
county superintendent in preference to
somebody they know nothing about and
who is entirely inexperienced.
Come now and let US reason to-
gether. Seriously, has this outfit these
self-constituted fool-workers any right
to come into our midst and treat our
citizens to this nauseating dose of bill
spectacle people tolerate them at all?
What are they here for? Who is re-
sponsible for their being here? You
can answer these in your own mind and
then answer Us this? GLOW much
weight should anything have, which is
published in their pernicious sheet.
Abe Frakes, the gum chewer states
man from Lane county, published col
umn in the Omnijack last week and
made at least a dozen votes for our
ticket thereby. Nature never makes
mistakes and we ask our readers who
are unacquainted with him to hunt him
up when in town and take one good look
at him. This will be conclusive but to
make assurances doubly sure Just poke
him up little and hear him bray.
If the Pop leaders have not wilted
in upholding their legislative steal at
Topeka, why is it that they have not
invited Ben. @. Rich, chief clerk of the
Dunsmore house, to make speeches this
fall?-Osborne Farmer.
Ben. G. Rich has become almost as
notorious in the state, where known, as
he is in Trego county. If one of our
citizens knew of his own personal
knowledge that statement was true he
would begin to have very grave doubts
if he heard it reiterated by Windy Ben.
His own party in this county, almost to
a man, regard him as a shyster and a
demagogue.
We want to again remind our read
ers that this fight was forced upon us.
We can leave it to our unprecedented
readers to exonerate in this whole mat
ter. We wanted to make clean cam
paign, and refrain from anything per-
sonal as the two candidates for the
judgship were both from this place, but
the Frakes-Cox- Kirtley combination
had never before had newspaper at
their command and they did not know
how to use it. They Immediately
launched out into invective and abuse
and called for a comparison of the fit
ness of the two men for the position.
We were forced to make public the in
competency of their candidate, we could
not do otherwise and it was no fault of
ours that we could give his record in a
few brief lines, and yet in the face of all
the facts there are few of the followers
of that outfit who are trying to make
the people, who have not read both pa
pers right along, believe that the
WORLD began the the dirty work, but
we did not. We regret that we had to
for few issues put our paper on the
same plane with that vile sheet. And
some of the very fellows who are now
bowling that the WORLD has descended
to mud-slinging were boasting on the
streets only short time since how they
were going to ''make personal, SLAM
derous campaign" Chose were their
Xords) during the rest of the time till
election. These fellows had heard the
combination talk and were SO tickled
that they had to tell of it.
