Democratic county ticket. 1t is
composed of most excellent men,
and is worthy of the support of
every man in the county, who is
opposed to Republican mismanage-
ment of affairs in this county. The
taxpayers are especially interest
ed in the Office of County Com
missioner, and should cast their
votes for Mr.. McCulloch, if they
would have an honest administra-
ton of the financial affairs of this
county. We will have more to say
in regard to the ticket in future
issue.
A Republican newspaper called
the Better Way published at
Minneapolis, Minnesota, says:
Eve are not SO very cranky on the
tariff question, but we don't be-
lieve that tariff that runs wheat
up to 81 80 after the wheat is out
of the farmers hands and then
drops to less than S1.OO just before
harvest, and still going down, is
the kind of tariff the farmers
want"
The Republicans are having
much to say about Spencer being
a dry town" to hold a Democratic
Congressional Convention in, as if
Democrats could not hold con-
vention in dry town" Demo-
Gratis care nothing for anything
stronger than coffee and water. 1t
is Republicans who like to hold
conventions in mwet towns"

The Gazette, through it's editor,
who is the chief Boss of the
Republican party in Mason coun-
ty, and the leader of the Republic
can Ring, in his usual cunning
way, undertakes to mislead the tax
payers of the county, and in an un-
der handed way, to attack every
one who will not agree with his
figuring on the county debt. He
is an expert at manipulating fig
ures. His style of journalism is
disgusting the members of his own
party, who have taken the trouble
to examine the records and inform
themselves on the debt of this
county, and how affairs have been
mismanaged under Republican
rule. He dies hard, but will have
to confess his sins in the end.
