AvARlcE AND GREED.
Prompt the Capitals Personal
Assaults on Democratic
Candidates.

r. II Greer, of the State
Capital. is making the fight of
bis life to secure the election
Of the Republican county
ticket He is more deeply in
lterested than any candidate
Why is this?
Why does the Capital de-
vota daily so many columns
to county affairs. when it
claims to be a territorial pa
per? Why does it villfy
Jones, Adler and Dobson with
such venom?
People wonder at the Capt.
tails exceptional aggressive
ness this campign.
The reason is clear 10 those
in the know. The defeat of
the Republican ticket means
a loss Of at least $4,000 a
year to the Capital. Territor-
tally, the defeat of Mcclure
means Democratic state.
The defeat of the Republi-
can candidates for the legisla-
ture also means the curtail-
ing of a graft. OF course,
Grimes is still in the secre-
tary's office and will have the
doing out of the chief part Of
the legislative work, but Greer
does not relish the loss OF
cent Hence his fierce fight.
The man is a most ungodly
liar and he will go to any
length to defeat the Demo
cratic candidates.
That Greer deems il i'm
perative TO win this election
is celf-evident. He has been
making some excessive inn
provements of la, and con-
tracing heavy Indebtedness.
II is a known fact that legiti-
mate business can not pay
Mr.. Greer ou- of the hole.
AS stated the Capital plant is
abnormal; therefore it fe-
quirss something abnormal TO
bolster it up. Something like
legislative padding and text
books gratis are necessary to
keep up the appearance Of
prosperity. Mr.. Greer wants
the tax payers to pay for his
reckless plunging The tax
payers have been doing this
very thing for ten years, but
they have now grown tired.
The worm IS about to turn.
Greer realizes this fact. where
fore the sheer desperation
with with he attacks Adler.
Dobson and Jones Not only
is Greer resorting TO slander
and libel in his paper TO poi
son the public mind against
the Democratic candidates,
but-more remarkable-he is
making a personal canvass of
the county cajoling the voters
with hackeyned stories and
