ue uOoS - uuIdPry anu again
belcheS forth his vanom Again he
makes dire threats against all who OF
posed his will.
The Jew boss, Who arrogates to him
self the political dictatorship of this
county, is awfully and furiously mad,
again gives vent To his p.nt up mate
venom and malice. After having put
into operation his many tricks,
schemes having slaughtered
true and tried men all over this coun-
ty, politically speaking, many to
whom he had given assurances of
support, all that he might have the
delivery 10 the powers that be at To-
ptka, finds himself SAT down upon and
that very hard, by the better clement
OF the republican party, and thus all
his hopes are blasted. Lacking in the
eli icretion of the wise politician, he
again loOSeS his head and INDUCES in
dire and blood curdiing threats against
each and all who dared oppose his
nrSurpation Of political pow err; Wise
men sometimes change their minds,
fools never" By his political oppres-
sion and MISCONDUCT he met his
Waterloo, many years ago in Smith
county, which rcSIl ted IN 900 of a ma
jnrity against the republican party of
that county. Some profit by an ex-
perience OF this kind, but not this fell
low. Like many other sleek fellows,
he continues to presume upon the
ignorance of the masses and again by
the same repreheEsable political
tricks, schemes and pompous arrogance
he has again suffered d political caSti-
CATION at the hands OF a long suffer
ing public, and he and his hosts,
horse and foot, have been put, to
flight. Again he INDUCES in awful
and direful threats of the vengence
| he will reek on each and everyone
who opposed him. He insults the in
telligence of the republican voters of
this county, by saying to them that
they were led around, as cattle, by a
few politicians. In substance, he
states that they are so devoid of ord
mary common sense that they are IN
able to cast an intelligent vote.
He has promised the powers that be
at Topeka, that he held the member
of the legislature in his grasp, and
that in due time he would be delivered
and now by reason of the justly meri-
ted punishment he has received he is
Tot in condition to deliver the goods,
and of course cannot comply with his
promise. AS he thinks of the conSe-
quenceS of this disaster to his hopes
it occurs to him that he may loose his
pull, push and grasp altogether. In a
very short time, he will loose his advi-
sorry powers, pull and push at the
court house SO long and SO exclusively
enjoyed by him.
What makes it seem worse to him
is the fact, that while the republican
party sat down on all his plans and
| hopes the same man gave the state
republican ticket the same republic
Can majority as Of old, showing by
: tbs that their actions were the result
of heir own individual conv lotions OF
their conscientious duty as a voter,
deliberately and inteiigently done
and performed. They realized as
every decent man must, that the Boss
to the body polite is the same as the
flea to the dog. 1t weakenS and finally
kills its victim. President Roosevelt
fought boss Plat, a republican U. s.
Senator in New York and all his
Royce henchmen to finish, and nc
one dare say but what be is one of the
best presidents this country has ever
had The same splendid element OF
the republican party in this count J
made the same kind Of a fight this
year against boss Royce. By so doing
the party is purer, and it has dealt tc
the political trickSter and demagogut
every where knockout blow. The
men who joined in this good work
constituted the best element OF the
republican party OF this county, anC
it seems that there are some 700 O
them. They don t ask boss Royce O
any other naaHto tell them what tt
do in a political way and they are
more competent to determine thei
duty as voter and will perform the
same more intelIigentIy than the
boss ever did. There were many OF
them in this county before the hos.
came and many will be here long afte
the boss has gone. They have in tn
past stood the storm of adversely il
the way of grasshoppers, hot wind
| and tempests, and they can now stan
the barks and bowling Of the boss
