THE Journal Gazette has a great
deal tn say about the alleged Demo-
cratic turning down OF members OF
our party, but they fail to realize the
fact Of possibility that their own
party has pinched off a few aspira-
tions In its time. We would like to
ask the Journal-Gazette ring, who
are running things, If they did not
promise Ed. Ricketts, all their sup
port for the nomination for Clerk,
and stayed with him up until the
time that Marion Alstadt voted
against Mckay in. the cqmmittee
rooms, and then they jumpsda onto
Ricketts, because he and Alstadt
lived In the west, and threw him
down the-last minute for Will Stone.
We will ask them if Marshal Arm
strong was not promised the nomin-
alton of Sheriff by the gang, but up
on the floor of the convention they
threw him down because he could
not control his brother-in-law. Nc
Kay is leader of the gang that did
that very thing. We will ask them
Ii they did not throw down AL Brooke
for Probate Judge because he was
seen talking with Post Master
Vickers too much. and If they did
not, just for meanness and tc rub it
into Vickers and Campbell, put up
Weitzell, who is poison thorn to
the administration men. Come with
clean hands before you deiilo others.
