Since the editor of the
Cresset is making such loud
pretentions for fairness and
honesty in this campaign, we
want to ask him one ques.
ton, and if he is half as fair
as he pretends to be he will
favor us with a civil answer
Do you think it is fair to
charge Judge Ellis up with
expense that was contracted
two months before he became
county attorney and paid one
week before that times This
is what you are doing in your
standing statement rela
tive to the county attor,
ney issue. Don't howl mud
singing at us while yon are
Fesorting to such methods.

They believe in and swear by Altgeld.

The Populists are broad gauged and no
respecter of party. They are first, last
and all the time for men of principle.
Their party is greater today than eyer
before because there are more great
men who believe in and advocate It's
principles. Populist principles are at
the front on every hand.
What shall We say of Claud Duyal,
the man who is to lead in the fight
against Long and his coterie of post
masters and hired shouIersp He Is
vouched for by the staunchest and alb
lest Popuilsts in the state. He has
been for years In the forefront of the
battle against modern republicanism.
He has helped to build up and popular
ize our principles through successive
campaigns. His private character is
irreproachable. He stands high in the
esteem of his fellow citizens at home
before whom his life IS an open book.
He Is able, vigorous and ambitious to
serve his fellow citizens in a higher sta
ton of usefulness. He has the gift of
making friends and holding them. His
friends are not bounded b. party lines.
He stands for every political principle
to which Chester L. Long is opposed
and against which Long has voted and
worked. When Long has reviled us
and said all manner of evil against US
as Populists Claud Duval has stood
with us. He is p lodged to our princi-
pies. Chester 1. Long is pledged against
US. We believe in the man who has
been our friend as against our political
enemy. Chester 1. Long should be
beaten and he win be if we rally round
the standard upheld by Claud Duval.
He stands upon our platform with w.

WHY can't the Cresset adhere to the
1acts In Its discussion Of the Kiowa
bridge case? 1t says that the opposi-
ton TO Mr.. Nay charge that the lumber
In the bridge is not worth $50. the
amount paid by the county to A. l..
Noble for representing the commits
sloneTs in the district court. No such
a charge has ever been made. Tie
charge is that before the matter is fin
ally settled it will cost both the county
and township more than the lumber
Is worth. The case is now pending in
Tue appellate court. That will occas-
Ion another attorney fee, besides other
expenses necessary to carry it up. The
county has already paid part of the
costs In the case, and Mr.. Nay voted to
90 so, and the case is not near settled.
Why was that done? The agreed stat.
ment of facts which is now on file in
the clerk S office says that the township
mas two thirds of all the material in the
bridge, even after figuring in all that
the county paid in repairing. If the
Cresset wants to be half as fair as il
preteEds to be, why does it not state

Ihe Cresset says Mr.. Nay has been in

true, has he not also been instrumental
in raising the valuation OF personal

The Cresset is keeping its
bogus county attorney ex.

statements are conceded by

something new. but the Ores

it will continue to run that
thing in it's columns because
it will do a whole lot to elect

COMMISSIONER NAYS TAXES.

The few republicans who are profit
ing from Mr.. Nays official position are
straining themselves to prove that he
Is a very heavy taxpayer. In order that
there may be no misrepresentation we Sc
cured the figures at the county treasur-
er's Office showing the amount of taxes
paid last year in this county by Messrs.
Nay and Grouse respectively:

personal. ........ ........... S0Z.Z4
Mr.. Grouse has purchased a quarter
section of school land and he Will pay
his first taxes on it this year, hence the
charge that he is not an owner of real
estate is false.
The republican organ says that Nay
pays 1888 SO, but it Is forced to add that
$485.32 IS paid in Woodward county,
Oklahoma. That Is exactly what we
want to get at. The people who are
opposed to Mr.. Nay have never con-
tended that he is not wealthy man.
He is probably the wealthiest man who
has been a candidate for Office III Bar
Der county for many years, but the coun-
ty gets only small portion of the taxes
he pays on his wealth. His interests
are not here. Out of total tax Of
1858 So which he claims he pays, only
$50 SO goes into the Barber county
treasury. His opponent lays no speci-
al claim to riches, but whatever he has
is in this county. His interests are all
here and he paid last year $12.35 more
taxes than Mr.. Nay, and when his real
estate is added the difference will be
still greater. Now since Mr.. Nay s
organ has gone this far, will it not go
a little farther and show how much has
been paid by its candidate on promisso-
~ notes. This is thing in which the
people are interested.
According to Mr.. Nays own state
ment, the bulk of his taxes are paid in
Woodward county. He ought to go
down there and run for commissioner.
His interests are there, and his official
record shows that he has nothing in
sympathy with the taxpayers of Barber
county, but is in fact supported by at
least one republican paper in this coun-
ty which, according to another republi-
can paper ,ls "screeching at so much per
screech." It is time that the taxpayers
are waking up. Eyer since Mr.. Nays
terms began expenses have been climb
ing up, and certain politicians have
been waxing fat. The tax levy for gen.
eral purposes this year has been multi
piled by 4. To say that Mr.. Nay is a
citizen OF this county and pays his
taxes at Woodward will not help the
pie counter brigade whit.

A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST.

Rightly selected food will cure more
than half the diseases. Try a scien-

some kind, preferably cooked; a dish
of Grape-Nuts, with cream; two soft
boiled eggs. Put two eggs in a tin
pint cup of boiling water, cover and
set off for nine minutes. Whites will
then be the consistency of cream and
most easily digested. One slice of
bread with butter; cup of Postum Ce-

On that breakfast you can work like

and various other disorders viii grad

will set in
Why? You have probably been liv-
ing on poorly selected food. that is.
food that doe not contain the required
elements the body needs. That sort of
food, and coffee, is the direct or indi-
