Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1894-11-01

Sullivan has some good excuse Tor as
saulting an infirm old man, and if so
the voters OF Fergus county would be
glad to know it.
Will Mr.. Sullivan explain why n
candidate need carry n six-shooter in
canvasslng this county? Is Fergus
county inhabited 10y so fierce and bar
barous a breed OF voters that deadly
weapons are necessary in soliciting
their votes? And isn't it a cowardly
practice to carry concealed weapons
in a peaceable and civilized country,
anyway? Let Mr.. Sullivan rise and
explain.
We wish to enquire further, whether
Mr.. Sullivan has not boosted of his
ability to make money out OF the
county and whether he has not said
that he could rob the county and that
he could do it so that no id expert
could find it out?
-.
Will Mr.. Sullivan please state
| whether he ever said that he had made
as much as $4,000 a year out OF the
sheriff's office?
50
Will he say whether lac has said on
| various occasions and to various per-
sons, that he would cheat, bride, lie,
steal and even take human life in or
der to carry his point in a political
struggle? And will he further state
his opinions OF II man who will resort
to such means? And will he say
whether he thinks he can coerce and
cheat and intimidate the voters of
Fergus county by his threat to edo
up" those who dare to oppose him?
-
Are Mr.. Sullivan and his tools and
friends of the opinion that some edu-
cation, goodbreeding and the manners
OF a gentleman disqualify Mr.. Waite
for the sheritf's office? Do they really
think that only a bully or rufian is
fit for that positionf
Can Mr.. Sullivan deny that for a
long time. in fact, until quite lately,
he chad it i'm for Thomas Jefferson
Johns, the editor OF the Geyser? And
was not Johns so afraid OF the man
who is now bis plaster that he skunk
into hiding every time Sullivan came
into town, lest he should get the beat
ing that he no doubt justly deserved2
~
Will some one explain how it is that
Johns now supports Sullivan, with
whom be was lately at swords points?
Was it by sale and delivery OF what
was the cause2 4 curions public
awaits the answer.
-
Was Burton C. White put up for
county attorney on the Democratic
ticket just in order to he knocked
down? ii so, how does he enjoy the
situation? We should really like to
know whether Mr.. White feels that he
is being treated fairly by Mr.. Sullivan,
and whether he is bound % support
Is it a fact that sullivan says that
be is ia the race for himself only, and
he doesn't care whether any other
on the Democratic ticket |
is elected or not? And il SO, how dol
the honest Democrats OF Fergus
like Mr.. Sullivan's idea of
loyalty?
-
1t is said that Mr.. Sloan and his
supporters are stutfing the ears of the
lnwary voter with statements that
Mr.. Cook is the bank candidate; and
hat if Mr.. Sloan is elected there will
De a new bank in Lewistown within
days. Do not the men who
say these things know that the first
8 an utter and wanton lie, aud that
he second is highly improbable?
nd what kind of Il bank could be
with thecounty funds? Could
be found at present for
who should declare that he3
would not deposit the county money!
n the Bank of Fergus county,.
-
Is not the Democratic for
he treasurership being conducted
n pretended issue? Are not the ,
hief means used, almost the only !
mes. lying, deception and Islander {? .
10 not the Democratic shouters and ]
trikers know very well that Dir. Cook
oes not owe the bank a cent andj
hat Dir. Sloan if elected, would keep1
he county funds in the Bank of Fer
us county? Or would Sloan really
sc the money to start another bank
r keep it in his cash drawer, or in an
Id stocking under his beda Wepause
,r a reply.
