Newkirk Republican,: A very erroneous
impression is held by some of the citizens
of this county tnaI Mr.. Jenkins withdrawal
in favor of Barnes, and the Republicans
support of Mr.. Barnes, was in some way
done under the leadership OF Don b. Law
head. There isn't the slightest foundation
iOF Sucn an impression. Neither MT. Jell-
kins nor the editor of this paper knew of
nor attended the so-called large meeting
reported in the Eagle of last week over
the names of Lawhead and McFadyen
Neither VS. Ldwhead consulted by Jen-
kins about his withdrawal, nor by j. r.
Scot: and this editor and others, before
taking a stand for Barnes. For redsors
no. necessary TO discuss here, Mr.. Law
head is very unpopular with very large
number of Republicans III the county. and
this fact has heen throwa N the face Of
other men who haze decided to support
Barnes as being against Barnes But Law
head has the sane r Oh: a. ether men to
support whom he pleases for governor, and
there is no law 20 prevent hin. from saying
SO in the papers 5U, we want Z understood
once for all that the stand Of this paper
for Earnes 5 ct LEAD lay nor II any way
contingent upon Mr.. Lawhead's prefer |
ences, and we feel safe in saying the Same
thing for several other Barnes men in the |
county.
