Fight On TON DOYLE
Attempt TO Read Him Out Of
the Democratic Party.
PERRY SEN TNEL ATTACKS
Alleging That He Is Too
Thick With Republicans.

! Guthrie, o. IT, July ia sensation
has been created in Noble county politics
By an attempt Of the Perry Sentinel to
read Hon THOMAS H. Doyle out OF the
Democratic party. Doyle was member
| Of the Fourth and Fifth legislative as
semblies, and the Sentinel charges that
he secured his last election by means of
a direct bargain with the Republicans.
The Sentinel says editorially:
Sometimes patience ceases to be a vir-
tue, and when the limit is reached it is
time to call a halt Mr.. Tom Doyle, who
left the Democratic party two years ago
and Joined the Republican party for the
purpose of breaking into the legislature,
IS now trying to carry out his pledges to
his Republican bosses by attempting to
break into the Democratic party for the
purpose Of creating as much dissension,
as possible before the election.
Ever since the Democratic and Popu-
list parties agreed on a united action
agains the Republican party Doyle has
been trying 10 organize a bolt against
that union by every means at his COM
mand. He has proven himself unworthy
the confidence of the Democratic party
for the simple reason that he refuses to
abide by the decision Of his party in con-
vention, or out, if for no other. The dis
ease that Doyle is afflicted with is politi-
cal rheumatism. He imagines that he
holds an ironclad mortgage on the office
Of representative and that he wants to
foreclose it every two years Four years
ago he accepted that position through
Democratic and PoDulist votes, and two
years ago broke in through the aid of
the Republicans. and this time he finds
himself discarded by all parties With
this condition staring him in the face,
his only hope is revenge. And in order
10 get it he would sacrifice the Demo-
cratic party On the altar Of defeat But
his tactics are so coarse and radically
wrong that many &C his friends are de-
sorting him like rats leaving a sinking
ship. He may have a few followers who
VIII do his bidding and cringe at his feet
hyp the waving Of his hand. but he can
not lead all Of them into the enemv's
camp simply TO crafty his whims of re-
venge. Nr. Doyle has the same right
that any other person has to go into the
and contest for any measure
he sees fit, but when he refuses to abide
by the decision of the majority and
that Of the convention, he simply puts
himself up as bigger than his party The |
time has come for the Democrats Of No |
bic county who wish to see the Demo- !
cratic party successful this fall to stand
together in opposition to Doyle and his |
-.
DOYLE entered into a COLLISION with the
Republicans Of Noble county in order to |
defeat the Democratic ticket, but this |
year the Republicans VIII refuse to take |
him into their confidence, and no one !
knows this better than Mr.. Doyle him /
self, and now he wants back into the |
Democratic party, not as repentant |
Democrat, but as a dictator. This the !
Democrats Of Noble county refuse to con-
'ede to Inn. He may be able to lead a
Few followers TO his way Of thinking and |
nto the Republican booth. but a large
number of those who were once his
trends will refuse 20 he delivered into
he hands Of the enemy without their
consent. He cares nothing for the Dem
1cratic party unless he can profit there
W. He would prefer to see the whole
Democratic ticket go down to defeat IN
ess he is given the Office Of representa-
i've. r. He may be able to kill himself. DO
itically but he is too small a fish to kill
he Democratic party. IF Mr.. Doyle
wishes to affiliate with the Republicans
&c has 4 right to do 50, as he did two
ears ago. but when he does he must
got expect favors at the hands Of the
Democratic party until he first proves
himself worthy Of their confidence, and
when he thinks the Democratic party
yves him anything he is mistaken
