Evidences that the sewer combine
is dreadfully worked up over the in
roads being made by the Citizens
ticket are multiplying daily.
The gang reasons that with the sue
cess of the Citizens cause a deeper
probing of municipal scandals will
take place In this the combine rea-
soning is correct 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that not only will the scandals
be probed, but that several persons
will be railroaded to the pen, that is
if they lack a stiff pull The sewer
grafters are in hourly conference and
are using every artifce TO check the
conversion of voters to the Citizens
cause
One of the more prominent of the
gang said today: "Of course all this
talk about Guthrie being a tight town
II Humphrey is elected is all bun
combe But we must do something to
Offset this rush to the fanatics side
until we get our sewer money out OF
the deal We never expected these
developments, when we bgan con
structing' the sewer system. If The
Leader would only quit pounding on
the sewer deal, wouldn't care Why
don't they take Up other things and
let the sewer goat least until we get
our money"
This talk was made to sewer sym
pathizer and of course shows the rea
feelings of the combine The com
bine cares little about Guthrie prog
ress-what it wants is money wrunl
from the pockets of taxpayers.
