is in full blast. The nominee promises
to visit The shepherd in his fields. and he
is daing it, and his persuasive %eIoquencc
rings for Democracy all along the line.
THR INDEX refuses to be bulldozed b,
merchant. candidate, or other pereons,
This paper will pursue the course that
seems wisest 90 it, notwithstanding that
said course may offend some whose in
terests are not served.
In common with many other OF his
friends, THE INDEX regrets that business
fnterests compelled Mr.. William Pieper.
Of Cedar Hill, to decline the nomination
for treasurer on the Democratic ticket
Mr.. Pieper has assured Tar INDEX Of
his loyalty to the ticket. but he is 50
situated that he could not accept the
Office if elected.
This makes -four times the boilers
candidate for county treasurer has made
the race for tho same office. His K p
rienee OF two years ago doesn't seem to
have been enough. All right. give it to
him some more Make the Office one for
life and give him a mortgage on it at ,
per cent interest ner month.
The INDEX has not a word to say
against the character of any candidate
on the independent or third ticket. Il
there lie anything against them as indi-
viduals or citizens, it is not public prop
erty. The fight in opposition to them is
simply political. and because their OPP
ponents are equally asgood men in every
respect, and nor satisfactory in some
respects.
The San Juan County INDEX is owned
by the person whose name appears on
the local page. 1t is not owned-o or con
trolled by any set Of stockholders or pc
litical BOSSES. 1t it is edited by the
editor, what it says he is responsible for.
and NO OTHER PERSON has written
