Gentlemen, ] will answer the question
you have so often asked today by say

will be known. The next few days
will be busy oues for the republican
workers in all parts OF the state. In

cate that the republican committeeman
in every precinct will make a deter.

1t is a matter of current know ledge
that those who have been circulating
the charges against Mr. Mizener, who
is completely vindicated by the affi-
davits published elsewhere in this
paper, presented the charges to the re-
publican county central committee in
the hope that they would accept them
as true and take Mr.. Mizener's name
off the ticket. OF course they ridiculed
the idea. They replied that they were
ready tc meet the charges and that
they believed Mr.. Mizener innocent
and wrongfully traduced. Then the
democratic county central committee
was called together and requested to
take up the charges, act as sponsor fol-
them, and give their consent and sup.
port TO the spreading of the accusa.
tions. Just as fatty the democratic
committee refused to have anything
TO do with them. They answered that
they did not believe in this kind OF
politics, that if their candidate could
not be elected in square, open,
straightforward campaign he should
not be elected at all. There was q
stormy scene at the meeting, we are
told, and it ended in a huff. We
honor the democratic committee fol
the manly and honorable stand they
took in the matter. The people OF
Winnesheik county will give sucl
politics sound rebuff at the polls.
