Mohave County miner., 1902-04-05
Again, The Faker'

again works the old dodge of mud
singing without replying to the
charges made against him by the MINER
in its last issue. The "rat" sheet is
used to that class of argument and the
Faker's Uranium is filled with it to the
exclusion of every decent thought. He
will not tell the people that be did not
swipe 10 s from the treasury of Mohave
county for which no mention or return
in any way has ever been made; He will
not tell the people that he compelled
Recorder Feeny to hand out printing
during the year 1900 until the 3,hRS
limit was reached, SUN never before
paid for county printing by any county
in the territory; He will not tell them
that he did not say to certain officer
of this county that :" To the victor be.
longs the spoils," when making a
demand that no honorable mal ul
make; He will not tell the people that he
always employed "rat" labor on his
"rat" sheet, while advocating unionism
to blind the union miners Of this
county; He will not tell the people,
this grey polled Faker, that he has
been getting l,00)S a year from the
county, for which he gives no state
ment nor return; He will not tell the
people when he assailed the Santa Fe
railroad company ia the matter of un-
paid taxes he was under the ion preston
that the company had taken his pass
privileges from him and that therefore
hs had nothing to gain by standing in
with them, and that on that occasion
he bewailed the loss and estimated its
value to him at from 3)oS to 40S per
year; He will not tell the people that
when he received the pass he at once
wilted in his attentions TO the cause of
the people; He will not tell them that
| he refused to attend a meeting in Lake
Hall, held for the purpose of trying to
adjust tax matters with the Sante Fe
railroad, because, as he stated, he
D
the supervisors did not support a

go in and sacrifice this privilege for
/ them. And there are many other
things this grey polled Faker will not
divulge. When the grey polled Faker
came to the MINER editor, last fall, and
proposed an armistice, he may not
