WHY THEY VOTE THUS
Some Queer Reasons Some People Have Tor
Their Votes,

There are some queer items in the
sum total of a mans popularity. There
Is one man in this city who is going TO
vote for Bryan for very simple reason,
and that Is that the Democratic nominee
has never yet uttered the word pluto
crat" in all his speeches since his nomi-
nation. IF Bryan refrains from using
that word" he said, II will vote for him,
but the moment he mentions 1t 1 am
going to quit him right then and there.
Another man has a reason for voting
for Leedy that beats anything ever
heard Of 1t is well known that Leedy
has lost a tooth from the front or his
mouth and when he spits he splits like
an S-year-old boy. He kind o Squirts
the saliva through the hole made by the
missing tooth II never saw a man
spit that way IN my life." said the
voter referred TO, who was not a sport
and a good fellow. 'I am for him be-
cause that fact tells me he is all right"

Sheriff Skinner of CowIey County Sues
County Attorney for $4,000
Sheriff J. w Skinner of Cowley coun-
ty has filed suit in the district court
against County Attorney S. II. Fink for
$40, 900, alleging malicious libel in the
matter pertaining to the LIBERATED Lee
case
1T will be remembered that some time
ago County Attorney Fink filed a re-
quest with the board of county COM
missionerS asking that an order be made
demanding that Sheriff Skinner be or
dered to return to the county S101.6 the
amount allowed him for his "trip 10 Mis-
soum after one VIM. Lee, alleging at
the time that the requisition was Sc
cured by means of a forged letter pur-
porting 10 be from the sheriff OF Pet
tis county, Mo-, stating that Lee was
there. The county attorney alleged IN
his stat that the letter was a
forgery and was written for the pur-
pose of defrauding the county.
When the matter came up for hear
ing the county commissioners refused
to make the order and then the county
in the district court and the case is still
pending.
In his statement Sheriff Skinner says
the allegations were made by the county
attorney n.albciously for the purpose
of inturing his reputation as a man and
officer out OF spite caused by his refusal
to support him for denomination to the
Office OF county attorney.

the last act where he succeeds in gett-
