this comment to make on the situation:
"A few days ago I should have said
that the chances were about even be-
tween the two candidates. To-day the
outlook is 50 much brighter for the
Democrats that believe Judge Parker

In this city and all over the
county politics is very quiet con-
sidering everything. There is con-
siderable discussion about who
will be Sheriff. Shriver is not
considered in the race and the
only question discussed is, will our
next Sheriff be Kirchner or Rep
pard? The Republican leaders can
talk all they please, but Pat An
derson has not been able to en-
thuse the party. They object to
being led around by a Democrat.
Old line Republicans decline to
follow such leader. They object
to holding illegal primary cleo
tons. They will not be bossed
any longer.

counted for by properly signed
voucher, the district has built two
or three school houses, the teach
ers promptly paid and the whole
business managed in a business
like way. The large balance car
ried was for the purpose OF re-
funding what is known as the
Brenneman tax, which amounted
to over $4,000. President Bailey
refused to refund this tax until
the Sheriff refunded his commits
sion for collecting it. This saved
the district over $3.50, and shows
that President Bailey is looking
after the interests of this district
in a careful, practical business
like way. Mr.. Bailey spends a
great deal of time and gives the
school a great deal of attention for
which, we fear, he gets very little
thanks and his salary is only Sc
a year, which he donates to the
High school library. Commissioner
Buck is an able lieutenant and
Clint Moore, if he were at home,
is also one of the best school men

We understand the Republican

We understand the Republican
leaders will have some speaking
here next week. The object OF
having no speakers here until the
very close of the campaign is to
whip the Republicans into line so
they will vote the whole Republl-
can ticket. We don't think the
people will be fooled by the lead
ers into doing anything Of the
kind. The voters have been fooled
long enough. The Republicans
here know from actual experience
that to get an appointment even
of a. policeman can only be had by
getting the bosses to recommend
him. After the speakers come and
get the people to vote to perpetu-
ate the bosses in power again, the
aforesaid bosses will laugh at the
way they have fooled the people
once more, proceed to get the
best offices going, appoint who
they please and proceed to get
ready to import voters for the
municipal election next spring.
We may be very much mistaken,
but we think the Republicans are
going to down the leaders good
and hard next month.
