A Des Arc correspondent to the Iron
ton Republican says: s.Messrs. w. t
Gay and j. 7. Baldwin attended oul
Republican club meeting here last week
and were given a hearty welcome
Lets all turn out and work for w. T.

j. l. Baldwin, Don't you care to
make his election ''doubly sure too:
Or, perhaps, it is ''doubIy sure" now,
and there is no need to turn out and
work for him.
While some of its candidates are 90

''there is no politics il county offices. =
the lronton Republican is yelling ..re.

Offices" There used to be, tho Ugh.
So much politics, indeed, that Dem
ocrat couldn't get into Office even after
he had been duly elected. We cite
the case of Judge Dining, debarred
from his Office for four years after
election and qualification. Also, James
Buford, who was kept out OF the Office
of sheriff and collector for six months
after the people had elected him.
There aOas .'poIitics in the county Off
