publican county central committee.
was mad last week because the VOICE
published his assertion that mo
id niger POpulist should speak"
Haughey says great many things
that would not look well in print.
be can't help it.
He has disease of the mouth.
once upon time he ran for county
attorney of this county, and during
the canvass he made the remark that
he didn't need any democratic votes
and that he wouldn't thank a niger
or a Kentuckian to vote for him.
That remark defeated him-and
though yearly ten years have since
elapsed that remark still hobs I'D to
plague him.
When the republican central COM
mlttee met this year to choose a
chairman, and Haughey was nOmi-
mated. one of the members of the
committee made quite a speech, say
ing it would never do to make that
man chairman-he is afflicted with a
disease that is fatal to politics." Be-
Ing questioned by another member as
to what he meant, the gentleman
said that Haughey had disease of the
mouth.
Last week Haughey went out to
Rome and spread the report that
Jerry Simpson would not be able to
speak at Wellington Thursday even
ing, that he was sick, etc. He also
managed to have it announced in the
schools of Wellington through their
literary" paper that a telegram from
Jerry stated that he was unable to
come.
Nevertheless, the opera house was
crowded, and Jerry came.
Mr.. Haughey is very loose in the
Jaw. He was in the Mail Office Tues
day morning, and in the presence Of
the VOICE editor, Mail editor, print
erS and Others told why he didn't
want to go Topeka as representative
why, had 73inStructed delegates
n the conventional good majority
but didn't want the nomination.
"Ihad considered the thing all rOunC
and couldn't see any Doodle in it:
"All the candidates for senator arr
paupers. There is no chance to ger
anything out of them.
IF | went to Topeka, would
want to board at the Copeland, ant
smoke good cigars and l couldn't at
ford it unless there we're some per
quiSiteS in the Office
Mr.. Haughey may not have beef
very serious in his remarkS-but if h,
reads them in print he will observ,
that they have lost some of thei
humor.
Then, there is Judge Woods, witt
says that "a colored man who won
stick to the republican party has /
heart as black as his hide"
Pretty loose language for a Judge
whose infant son is trying to raise /
crop of wings to fly iutO the COUNTY
attorneys office.
Then Harry himself is so loose thai
he is tlabby, apolOgizing for his mex
perience as a lawyer, and depending
on papa to help him Out-heading I
riot and trying to prove an alibi-cuss
ing the POpuliStS and trying to wiz
their votes.
Then, there Is SimOnS, the cleo
margarine orator, who says the Pop
uliStS have ruined the Santa Fe rail
road company by increasing their as
sesSment-and begs the people t
save the railroads.
Then Judge Ray is so loose with hi,
pen. Those articles he wrote for tn,
VOICE over the signature of "A Sub
scriber" make fine campaign mater
ial for the Populists. Rays republi
can speeches are ridiculous in tn
light of his written opinion of tn
men constituting the republican tick
ct. He is also handicapped when
comes TO shouting socialism" Hi
endorsement of government owner
ship of railroads makes him as niue
a socialist as are the POpuliSt,. Ii
e wants to persuade the PopuliSts bac
e but the republican policy of "deltI
to peopleism" interferes with th
. Judges personal goodness of heart
1t is really funny to see Andy Rich
ards operating the official newspape
organ, and Judge Ray playing frs
mouth organ for the same party. TIL
