THAT HARDIN COUNTY FIGHT
Iowa Falls Dispatch Relative to His
Probable Candidacy on independent
Ticket Brings Denial from Sheriff
Understanding More About the
Plan to Name a Fusion Ticket.
Special to Times-Republican.

F,ldora, June 23.-The dispatch pub
lIshed in the T.-R. last evening from
Iowa Falls regarding a fusion ticket for
Hardin county. and stating that the
present sheriff. a. W. Mitterer. would
accept the nomination on the demo-
cratic ticket if rendered him, has
evoked the following statement from
Mr.. Mitterer:
The republicans of Hardin county
have honored me by electing me sheriff
for four terms. l have never been any
thing but a republican. l said some
months ago 1 would not be a candi-
date again. Under no circumstance S
would / betray the party that has so
trusted and honored me by permitting
my name TO appear upon an independ-
ent or democratic ticket. l shall sup
port and vote the republican ticket
am at u loss to understand
why | am continually dragged into this
sheriff contest. The statement sent out
by the Iowa Falls correspondent re-
garding me is an unwarranted and ma
licious falsehood. without the shadow
of foundation
The statement that the new daily,
the N-Ray, of this city. is started in the
interest of fusion ticket was dis
proved by an article which appeared
yesterday. The article states that
there is talk of Granner and Scurry
withdrawing, says says: That
won't make any difference. Any one
put in their place will be defeated
The" ring candidates mus. be downed"
In other words. no one can be elected
but a democrat. ANY one but a demo-
crat would be a ringster.
The cry of ring and the talk of flu
sion in this city is confined to the
democratic camp almos. entirely. At
is settled that an independent ticket is
talked of with ex-Speaker J. III. Funk
as candidate for representative. Thorn
as Walsh for sheriff and Jerry Alberry.

Radcliffe, for supervisor In the mean
