DON'T think for a moment that be-
cause Geo. Horney pays no taxes, he is
a poor man. He Is one of the men who
has his wealth so situated as to escape
taxation. For this fe&5on we say he
has never assisted in producing any of
this worlds goods. High rates of IN
terest keep him above the 'substratum
OF humanity" as the g. o. p. has
named the farmers and day laborers.

THE reason advanced by the republic
cans for Horney's election is this: j.
S. Jones makes his living by farm
