ANNOUNCEMENTS.
A GAME OF BLUFF BY APPLEWKITE
SUPPORTERS.

The Leader learns that some of
the friends of Mr.. Applewhite,
candidate for Sheriff, are denying
and poo-pooing what was pub
lished in last weeks Leader con-
corning his official record. Others
are boasting that it will help him,
because it was published in The
Leader and The Leader is against
him. To this we want to say, the
editor of the Leader is prepared
to prove, by sworn testimony,
that every essential statement
made by him in last Saturdays
paper is tue; and if any public
or published denial is made of any
material portion of it, either by
Mr.. Applewhite or his friends,
we will publish such proof after
the election, regardless of how the
election goes.
A word concerning the lavish
use of money by those who are
trying to debauch the voters of
the county, as though they were
without all principle and could be
bought and delivered on election
day like cattle: We have a list
of witnesses to turn over to the
next grand jury which will convict
certain men of the corrupt and I'M
lawful use of money in the cleo
tion-some of them "tall timber, :"
and if some of the witnesses
necessary to prove this 60 before
the grand jury and swear falsely,
we have the names of other Wit
nesses whose testimony will con-
vict them of perjury.
So far as what The Leader has
published helping Mr.. Apple
white is concerned, we have only
to say, that if what we have pub
lished helps him, we stand ready
and willing, now and hereafter, to
help in the same way him or any
other man who is a candidate for
Office in Lincoln county under the
facts and circumstances. Had
The Leader and its principles
been purchasable, it could have
gotten a much larger slice of
'swag" from Applewhite's sup
porters for its silence in his case
than dozen of the hirelings who
are running around straining their
lungs by crying out that The
Leader and it's editor have no in
fiuence.
The great majority of the peo
pie of Lincoln county want to do
right and will do right when they
kaow what is required of them.

BEGS FORGIVENESS OF THE PEOPLE OF
THE STATE FOR BRINGING HIM
INTO MISSISSIPPI.
AN OLD POLITICAL TURNCOAT, RE.
PUBLICAN, POPULITE, ETC.
Burkitt Says Steinberser is "A Political
Hybrid, With Low Sense Of Honor,
Less Regard for the Truth, and To-
tally Devoid Of Many of the Essen
tial Attributes Of a Gentleman.
[Clarion.Ledger, Aug. al

MI. M. w. Buckley, of Enter
prise, Miss, who has been in
jackson several days, has handed
the Clarion-Ledger the following
letter from Capt. Frank Burkitt,
which will prove of great interest
at this time:
OkoIona, Miss,
July 30, 1908.
Mr.. w. M. Buckley, Enterprise,
Miss.
Dear Sir::-Your letter directed
to our Baptist ministers, inquir-
ing who Abe Steinberger is, has
been handed to me with a request
to reply.
Abe Steinberger is an old Kan
sas Republican, who joined the
populist movement in 1890.
When Bryan was nominated in
1896, he became a Middle of the
road Populist, " as | did myself.
In 1899, thinking he was perse-
cuted by the Fusionists in Kan
sas, and knowing he was a good
printer, / paid off the mortgage
on his newspaper at Girard, Kan
sas, and induced him to come to
Mississippi; and for this act / beg
the forgiveness of the good peo-
pie of my State, regardless of re-
ligious or political creed.
In 1900 | sold him the Messen-
ger, and have had no connection
financially or otherwise, since
that time. He is now, and has
been for more than a year past,
editing and publishing two papers
from the same office-one the Mes
senger, which purports to be indie
pendent, and the other the Chick
asaw Sun, which claims to be
Democratic, but both contain each
week practically the same matter.
Steinberger was exceedingly
sweet ON the Governor in the early
part of the year, and when the
Worlds Fair bill was passed by
the legislature he wrote the Gov
ernor with his Populist hand ask
ing for the appointment as a
member'of the State Exposition
Bureau.
The Governor did not think it
advisable to confde such grave in
terests to raw jayhawker, who
had been in the State barely long
enough to vote, and had not at the
time qualified to do so, and when
he made different appointment
Steinberger turned his Democratic
hand to the dirty business of vii
flying our chief executive.
The man is an adept in mud
singing, and this is his principal
accomplishment. He is a politi-
cal hybrid with a low sense of
honor, less regard for the truth,
and totally devoid of many of the
essential attributes of a gentle
man.
Yours truly,
FRANK RTIPKTTT

ers for the past years. The preachers
and moralists might have spared their
disquiet. There never was any such
tremendous drift, after all. With the
builders and real estate agents, wish was
father to thought.
City people are much like others, aft

not menace the home spirit. People live
in flats because they have to. The hotel

scene of greatest building activity shifts
to Brooklyn and the outskirts generally,
where small houses and modest fiat
buildings of conventional type are going
UP faster than ever before.
AS trade pointer, this shift means
more demand for lumber and ordinary
building material, much less demand for
structural steel.

In the course of his career as fourth

head of the force of detectives, known

he has become an ingrained detective

gives him this position of authority,
for he is yet in late middle life.
1t is something in the mans ment-

personal editors of the past. People

When as editor of the Albany Argus
he was the model for democratic editors

has long passed from New York jour-

since.
But the habit of mind is not condu
GIVE to personal popularity. Senators
and representatives who have business
with Bristow in the administrative d.
vision of his work complain that he
always seems to look on them with
suspicion. So pronounced had this
feeling become few months ago that
there was a strong movement to Sc
cure his removal in order to make way
for somebody who would be a little
more tactful and confiding. Indeed. the
movement had gained such Roadway
that Bristow's departure from Wash
ington was confidently looked for by
the unregenerate when the president
suddenly ordered the general investi-
cation of the post Office and the fat
was in the fire.
Bristow is really no more popular
now than he was before he made his
record of indicting the postal conspir-
ators, but he is several hundred per
cent stronger. One of the most infiu-
entail men in the senate called on
Bristow. not long ago to inquire about
a little post Office affair in his state.
He put his request to the fourth assist

ly and completely. He refused even to
listen to argument. The senator an
grily turned on his heel and went out
vowing vengeance. But he won't get
tat least not until new adminis-

1ftical future as anybody else.
The fact is that the Pennsylvania re-
publicans need Quay in the senate, and
nobody else could quite take his place.
He announced a year or so ago that he
would not be candidate for reelec-
ton. That was when he was i'll and
felt his life might depend on his with
drawal from public life.
He is better now. In fact, he is better
than he has been before in years, and
the members of the organization think
he had better remain in the senate,
thus preventing fight for the success
sion, which is always unpleasant in a
state where the machine likes to see
itself running smoothly without any
creaking of the joints. The chances
are that Quay will be reelected by the
machine and that he will agree to serve
again. / ,~E s.
Quay has always been regarded as an
Indian in politics. He never foreets q
friend or forgives an enemy. It is not
generally known, however, that Quay.
is really of Indian descent, and that he.
is very proud Of it. II he had his
right he would be chief of a tribe which
is now quartered' in the Indian terri-
tory. On certain ceremonial occasions
they always send for him and they al
ways expect him to- come. He had
rather 60 out and fraterntze with the
red men with whom he claims kinshfp
than participate in the most splendid
function in Washing They are
proud Of him and he seems TO Be.
equally proud Of them. ss
