OLD ED GRASSLAND FIRE.
They Think His Son is Psrseoutee

They Think His Son is Prosecuted.
Evidently the apathy which has per
tanned to the congressional primary
election is changed with many into an
intense fire of interest somewhat akin
TO the enthusiasm which use TO follow
Col. Ed Grassland when mounted and
at the head of the Gibralter column of
Democracy. Indeed, the fire aroused.
seems to be among that element that
followed that white plume in so many
political battles. and largely because
they believe his son has been unfairly
treated. and that he is being prosecuted
They don't believe that there is any
dominicker in the Grassland breed. and
that because he fights back against al
lodged mistreatment by political
hoses" only evidence that he is game
and will not submit silently to wrongs
If this feeling continues to grow there
viii be good vote out AT the primary
on Saturday the 9th. and some of the
"old guard are at work to make It
grow.

no Election Ordered

The petition filed month ago before
the County Judge praying that the
question as to selling spirituous, yinous
and malt liquors within the corporate
limits of the city of Hickman. which
was to have been heard by judge
kearby, last Monday. was withdrawn
by the attorney for the petitioners.
And OF course no election ordered. We
learn that the ladies Of the w. c. f.. u.
had carried on such an earnest canvass
among the signers of the petition. that
a sufficient number of names had been
Withdrawn as to reduce the peti-
uon below the legal number of
sIgners. 1t is probable. however. that
the saloons would have been defeated
anyway. In fact so confident are the
temperance people, that we understand
they are getting up petition 70 test
the sense of the whole county on the
question Of saloons or no saloons.
