the maCnlne, III Iueu TOUR OF TUG
county, to enlighten the people re-
gardiug county affairs and let the
trust alone, for Harry c. Woodyaid
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 we'll as the
rich. Tell us 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 fail
to sustain the charge" Let Mr.
Hickman explain the reason for
saying six years ago, THAT If the
republicans would give him an
other term he would step down
and QUIZ" 1t has bsen given us an
excuse by Mr.. 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 ether parties would have
entered the race. Why could tie
machine (who want to appear as
noralists) nominate such man as
P. A. Spanol? 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 again, If they would
take pity On him and give another
term-tor life Yes, that Is an old
song, a song that has been declared
a back number Mr.. Hickman, and
the republicans of Tyler county
will see that you d. as you said.
You fooled the people tor this term
but you can't d. It tor another.
The last primary and the coming
election will be fought on the Com
bination Barrel system, that IS, the
machine hopes to succeed by free
distribution from the horn vi
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 W
your door paved roads. every
where; new court house In eacn
town and district; a big reduction
in your taxes; see that tue people,
money Is securely placed IN the
sheriff's pocket, Ito be used by
HIM >elf. 30 1t will not get lost from
t:rm to term; and to see that every
man who loves the Ring, even the
road oversee1s and election commits
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 am
sure they cannot influence or con-
troll me. 1 have no political ak to
grind, and If did, I would not al
low such 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 I should
place beneath my notice, and hop
ing the machine In Its tour of the
county will take up the gauntlet 1
have thrown down to them and vim
dictate their official actions, I am
and will remain,
A. REPUBLICAN.
