we doubt not that many other faces
were turned toward the light.

Sorry Campbell.

Like sore and whipped cur ne IS
running and whining.
We noticed in the Monitor Press a
short time ago the report Of an inter-
view that ]. G. Campbell had with
Mr.. NewbOld, register OF deeds, in
which the commissioner from the
Third district is held up for advising
Mr.. Newbold to turn over the fees as
the new law directs. The advice is
commendable, if he gave it.
We understand that Mr.. Newbold
is withholding fees, claiming that
the new law is unconstitutional and
will test the new law in the courts;
that if the courts decide in favor Of
the new law, he will promptly pay
the money into the county treasury,
same as DOnahue, Carnes and Others
OF the same ilk.
Campbell has been giving the Re-
publicans, quite generally, disrespect-
full mention through the Monitor
Press. His saddle is chatting him.
When John T. Stewart became a
member Of the board OF county com.
miSsiOners, Campbell, up to that
time, had been advertising for and
commanding to the taxpayers OF the
county the bridge companies that
were rObbing the county, and cannot
point to line In his paper that cJn.
demned them, but belittling the eff
forts Of every one that tried TO break
down the bridge pool.
The first bridge letting meeting Of
the board that Commissioner Stewart
attended, there were three bridges To
be let. One Of the bridges was to be
the dimensions Of the bridge at Zybs,
and to be built on the same plan and
specification that the county paid
81, 200 for, and two other bridges.
At the letting there were eighteen
bridge companies represented.
Through the knowhow Of Commits.
Sioner Stewart the three bridges were
built for 1920 less than the one
bridge at Zyba, a saving through the
management Of Commissioner Stew
art to the county in that one deal Of
over $1,000, the majority Of the board
being willing to make a "priyatt
deal" at $4,000, but Stewart held then
off and insisted on bids, thu,
saving the county on one deal
alone over $4,000. His efforts were
belittled by Campbell. am informed
that Stewards efforts have resulted
in saving the county, up to this time
$4,000.
The very strongest kind Of pressure
was brought to bear on Mr.. Stewar
to vote the 1000, then to comprom
Use on $1,000. But he was one Of tn
General Jackson stripe. Nulliflca
tiOn had togo.
When Campbell had secured tina
, part Of the county printing that be
lOnged to the Standard, the count
tickets, Campbell agreed to turn tn
work over to the Standard for 800
1t was not turned over. Campbell
, was called on the second time. Their
was more in it than he had thought
he must have 5000. 1T was agreed t
pay him $500. The work was no
turned over. Call No. 3 was made
He must have $500. Campbell wa
Informed by the Republican commit
tee that he might print The ballots
He went ahead with the work, 70
which the county paid him s272.
We admire the stand taken in tn
matter and the candidates did RICH
in not allowing Campbell to do them

is getting very sore.

D0uble-Headed Journalism.

1t was announced on the streets
Tuesday, that the Sumner County
Standard had been sold. In response
to the query as to who had bought
it came the vague reply that the pur-
chaser was the Wellington Printing
Company. Curiosity was at once
aroused as to who composed this
company. 1t soon leaked out that the
Wellington Printing Company and
Campbell & Hood Of the Monitor
Press were and are the same. IL
seems that they chose to hide behind
the general term, Wellington Print
Company, and then like the ostrich
which runs its head in the sand and
imagines its body is Lid from view,
the senior member Of the firm takes
his bill Of sale and presents it in per-
son to the Register OF Deeds for rec
ord.
An effort was made to retain Capt.
Frank Gilmore as editor, and the in
tentiOn seems to have been that the
Standard should still be conducted
as Democratic paper on the "stal-
wart line" But the Democrats were
not very well pleased at having their
organ in the hands Of the Republi-
can party, and the Democratic Gen.
trail committee being in session Tues.
day repudiated the whole thing, and
an extra book keeper has almost been
necessary at the Standard Office since
the change to keep track Of the or.
ders Of discontinuanCe.
1t seems little strange that such
stalwart devOtees Of Republicanism
would try to teach Democracy in the
same town, but in this day and age Of
the Republic when Clevelandism and
Shermanism are so nearly alike, Oul
cOnading neighborS may have thought
it possible. But the rank and file Of
the Democratic party are not quite
ready to be delivered, and they are
protesting loudly. The fact is they
are angry at this underhanded meth
! cd Of PROSECUTING, and the prospect i.
that it will prove boomerang to the
Republicans. There is evidently NJ
lack Of gall" in the enterprise.
The price paid for the Standard wa.
$500, and it was intended to takt
the county printing contract and al
at this figure. OF this, Sl45 was cash
and the balance in notes due to ThoS
George, who seems to have been tn,
principal owner.
The SuretieS on Mrs. Herring
county printing bond, o. ]. Hackne
and Frank Gilmore, gave notice to tn
chairman OF the Board Of Count
Commissioners that they desired +
be released. A special session Of tn
board was called Wednesday after
noon. The whole matter Of count
printing was discussed. The count
attorney advised the board that tn
contract was not an aSsignable one
and that if the Wellington Printin
Company, as proprietOrs Of tn
Standard did the work the count
might be liable for full pay. TIL
matter was laid over to an adjOurne
meeting next Monday. In the mea
time rumOrS are rife concerning tn
turn affairs will take. Seine say tn
Caldwell Ne,Os will be moved here an
made the official organ.
On the side, we might say that tn
VOICE has far the largest circulation
Of any paper in the county, and il n
other satisfactory paper can be fOnn,
to take the printing, we will take tn
risk Of being bankrupted by 1t.
