HERE'S YOUR ANSWER.

No, Mr.. Olson, we do. not believe
that the political affiliations of the
different judges who have passed upon
the merits of these contest cases has
had anything to do with their deci
sions. That is apparent because,
while belonging to three different par
ties, the whole number, or six, have
been unanimous in their findings.
Us that significant?
Neither do we expect or need pO-
litical decision from the Supreme
court and have no sympathy with
those who do Also Significantly.
You are doubtless unable to COM
prehend it, but tins matter is of far
more Importance than any personal
advantage. We desire and expect
these cases to be decided upon their
merits, according to the record al
ready made, and fully believe the de-
cisions will be affirmed.
Should they not be confirmed we
will have too much respect for the
courts decision and ourselves to try
to evade it's effect by the subterfuge
of holdover or the force of barri-
cades. More significantly
If you wish us to thresh any more
old straw 'splease answer" your own
question and say whether you have
had or expect to get political deci-
sion. Most significantly
We expect unanimous decision
from the judges of the Supreme court
and should it not be entirely to our
liking through our blunders or our
failures in the presentation of ouT
cases we will not belittle ourselves by
charging the effect of our lapses to
the political opinion of the court.
Finally, you will take notice that we
are doing nothing to retard the set
tlement of the affair, all of which is
''significant" by contrast with the ac-
tions of your self and friends from the
beginning of the cases to the end OF
HutZels ''OpiniOn."

Attention Graduates.

l want a photograph of the Trego
county common school graduating
class of 1897 and hope to have it in
clude all the twenty-three members.
/ make a personal request of each of
you to be present if possible at the
exercises at Wa-Keeney, Friday af-
ternoon, May 21, at which time the
photo will be made, probably at the
court house. This, l think, will be
the most convenient time, as the
graduating exercises of the Wa-kee-
ney members win be held that even
ing and it will be of considerable ad-
vantage to the Ogallah and Collyer
members to be present. Teachers and
parents of gradateS are asked to lend
their assistance as it will be diSap-
pointment if any are absent.
Those who wish copies of the pic
ture can make arrangements with the
photographer.
