A chorus of excavations has gone
up from the whole world over the
finding of the Dreyfus court martial,
Never was justice SO wautonly and
shamelessly outraged, There seems
but one way to bring France to its
senses and that is by a p~reconcerted
action on the part of the other nations
of the earth. They should at once
order their ambassadors to leave Paris
and withdraw all diplomatic inter
course with that nation. The next
step should be to leave the Exposition
of 1900 severely alone and teach
France that the honor of her army
cannot be maintained at the expense
Of justice. A court of Patigonian
savages would give a prisoner a bet
ter and tairer trial than was the farce
AT Rennes.

TICKETS COMPARED.

There is disposition on the part
of many voters in this comfy to vote
for men and not for party. To these
we want to call especial attention to
the men on the republican ticket
Each one had the united support of
his home people, which cannot be
said of the opposition ticket. Each
one IS in character, ability and per.
sonal fitness for the Office fully equal
to any candidates that have been
placed before our people The fol-
lowing comparison of the tickets will
show that the republican ticket is
much more fairly distributed over
the county:

The Lamar democratic gang was
perfectly willing to give Granada one
office, sheriff, provided Lamar named
the candidate. The Granada dele
cation was not consulted and their
objections were sneered at.
The Lamar register., 1899-10-25

The republican convention gave
Granada one of the best offices, sup,
erintendent of school, nominating MIR.
Barnes who was the unanimous choice
of the delegates, and who carried
Granada precinct two years ago by
81 majority, the largest ever given
there in a political race.

When Chairman Jones of the dem

a democratic campaign on prayers ?"

The fusionists are not throwing out
any sneers at new. comers this year,
there being too many voters among
them. Those who were here last fall
will no doubt remember how the gang
organ and candidates insisted that all
new comers were objects of suspicion.
The Lamar register., 1899-10-25

II the taxpayers appreciate the in-
novation of public official yolunta-
rily reducing the salary of his office,
they should vote for Messrs. Barnes
and Mcdowell They are the only
ones who have ever introduced such
an innovation IN this county.
The Lamar register., 1899-10-25

Another evidence of fusionists love
for Prowers county was received this
week. The fusion state board of
equalization recommended 20 per
cent raise in Prowers county's assess
ed valuation, the largest increase
given any county in the state.
The Lamar register., 1899-10-25

The advocacy of State Canal No. /,
the veto of the Granada bridge bill,
and the attempt to make 20 per
cent raise in our county assessment
constitutes the work of one fusion
administration in the interest of this
county. This is good year IL vote
the straight republican ticket.

The editor of the Fusion Depart
mentn at Granada is easily recog-
nized. He is II renegade republican,
who not long since was repudiated by
the voters of Prowers county by over
200 majority, and will now be again
rebuked for his treachery.
The Lamar register., 1899-10-25

There are good many democrats
in this portion of the county who
think that as long as the road fund
is to be used merely for the purpose
of distributing money, it should be
passed around little more equitably.
The Lamar register., 1899-10-25

The fusionists are saying nothing
about '.time- servers" this year, and
when we look at the top names on
their ticket we can easily appreciate
the value of their silence.

The democrats love north siders
for trading purposes and their votes
only. They don't like to see them
in office.

In these days of general prosperity
the most appropriate thing for the
voter to do is to vote the straight Ie
publican ticket.
