campaign libels. Now isn't it? They
virtually admit that any of their state.
ments may be successfully refuted.
SOME STRAIGHT TIPS.
Don't fail to vote. It is important
that all should vote.
The entire republican ticket is a
good one. Study it from top to bot.
tom, and you will find that every can
didate is worthy of support. All will
make worthy, capable officials. Vote
for them.
Ed. Bond, the republican candidate
for representative, who is a sue
cessfnl farmer, was for 1s years a faith
full railroad employee-most of the
time a conductor-and holds a splen-
did endorsement from railroad men,
after he quit railroading. His traduc-
ers can not show such testimonials re-
garding their former employment.
What sort of man is this anyway?
Editor Ames when accosted as to his
conduct toward certain men and can
didates said that he jumped onto DR..
Stewart in the campaign just because
he thought it might make votes for his
party, but that after election he would
be Stewards best friend. He said this
during the last week and dare not de-
ny it.
The Office of county Judge has been
splendidly looked after by Judge
Juckett, and the people are usually in
clined to appreciate careful, attentive
and painstaking public officer-espe.
cially in an Office where the estates of
departed friends are at stake-and the
voters of Fall River county will see to
it that Judge Juckett is retained.
Editor Ames said in his Hot Springs
Herald of March 25, 1897:
"Ifa editor always told the truth he
would have no readers for his paper.
This no doubt is the reason that pa.
per has not told the truth during this
campaign. That he has evaded the
truth, and told anything but the truth
regarding many very important things
has been proven beyond doubt.
The Herald of October 13, says that
election judges have been selected for
the third ward whom the republicans
think twill be able to take care of the
gold bug VOTE" OF course Editor
Ames desired to give out the impress
sion that the judges selected would use
tricky, dishonorable and illegal meth
DDS in their official capacity to help
increase the "gold bug vote" Those
judges are +. L. Pierce, John l.. Burke
aud Rob't. Parmley. They are all hon
orable. honest men and it was nothing
less than libel when the Herald cast
such an insinuating reflection upon
She reputation of these men.
"a pass is IL bribe." That is the ar
gnment being made by the fusionists.
Freeman Knowles is not the only one
who accepts them-and would take
more if they could get them. MIR.
Bruce, tho fusionist candidnte for re.
election to the legislature, solicited
that kind of bribes after his election
two years agdAand of course he cot
them-not only for himself, but for
his family. But unlike most public
officials who have pull enough to get
such bribes, Mr.. Bruce loaned his rail.

friends who. used the pass whore the
