politics or religion. Now I want
the machine. In their tour of the
county, to enlighten the people re-
garding county affairs and let the
trust alone, for Harry G. woodward
will lcok after these In congress.
Let that august body 1.-THE County
Court) explain to as how they
are looking after the interests
of the poor as well as the
rich. Tell as how many peo-
pie In the county who are so fortu.
nate as to have sonG George to whom
the people are duty bound to pay
homage. Tell as why and who, asked
that a committee be appointed &c
investigate the records of the coun
ty court Why has the record or
report not been published? Who
paid for the investigation? Does
not the law say. That the party
who shall ask for the investigation
shall pay the expenses If hey fall
to sustain the charger" Let Mr.
Hickman explain the reason for
say Ing six years ago, THAT If the
Republicans would give him an
other term he would step down
and QUIZ" 1t has b9en given us an
excuse by MI Hickman's sup
porters that they did not like Mr..
Long as candidate because he
used to drink. If this Is the reason.
why did not Mr. Hickman step
down and other parties would have
entered the race Why could tie
machine (who want to appear as
moralists) nominate such man as
P. A. Spano,? Does he represent
The morals of the machine, or Is 1t
because be belongs to the ring,
both sonl and body? We have
heard it whispered about that Mr..
Hickman, realizing his iorlorn-
prospects, would openly plead with
the people, that he would not ask
for the Cfice sgaln, If they would
take pity ON him and give another
term-tor lie. Yes, that Is an old
song, a song that has been declared
back number Mr.. Hickman, and
the republicans of Tyler county
will see that you do as you said.
You fooled the people tor this term
but you can't do 1t tor another.
The last primary and tSe coming
election will be fought on the Com
bination Barrel system, that Is, the
machine hopes to succeed by free
distribution from the horn Ol
plenty, and, by giving aims
unto the people, such as Is
customary in the way of political
jobs, and to make promises, such as
new bridges, aud located right "
your door. paved roads, every
where; new court house In eacn
town and district; a big reduction
in your taxes; see that tue peoples
money is securely placed In the
sheriff's pocket, Ito be used by
him self. so 1t will not get lost from
term to term; and to see that every
man who loves the Ring, even the
road overseers and election Comm mis-
siorers, shall be re appointed be-
cause he Is one of THEM. 1t is a
known fact that the machine has
promised 10 support six different
candidates for sheriff In 1904. The
ring says hush, but I will not. The
ring has no use for me, but l am
sure they cannot influence or con-
troll me. l have no political AK to
grind, and If I did, I would not al.
low such a low contemplate set of
sleuth hounds control my actions
practically.
To hear such persons brawling
around ABOUT the principles of The
Republican party when they haven't
hold OF the whip handle and know
ing their insincerity makes decent
man turn green with envy. For
fear say some things that / should
place beneath my notice, and hop
ing the machine In Its tour of the
county will take up the gauntlet l
have thrown down to them and vim
dictate their official actions, / am
land will remain,
A. REPUBLICAN.
