Griggs county wish to have MIR. Sin i
clair as superintendent of schools. it !
matters not to me personally. but |
do not think they will. | do not like
to call anyone a liar. much less Mr..
Sinclair. but must say that lie is de-
cidedly untruthful. Mr.. Sinclair told
me in the hearing of others on the
morning of the populist convention
which was held in Cooperstown a
couple of weeks ago, that he did not
know ANYTHING whatever about who
would be put up as candidates by that
convention. Now Mr.. Sinclair knew
and | can prove that he knew before
the dav of the convention who would
be the candidates on the populist
ticket. Sinclair told me that there
was no gang in his party. that
every man was out for himself and
then in the face OF all that MIR.
William Howden has apo|ogiZed to
MIR. Carleton because he is running
against him for county Judge. Mr.
HOwden has said. so | am told. that he
did not know that they were going to
put him on the ticket. Il beautiful
state of affairs. No gang in the popu-
list party. every ma" for himself. and
