Who Is Being "worked3"

EDITOR REGISTER:
Last Friday night, NJ. NJ. Brown
made q socialist talk at the town
hall here. After the talk there were
things doing that the ordinary voter
is not supposed to know.
Mr.. Brown is a candidate (by pc
tition) on the socialist ticket for rep
ressntative, but at this time, friday,
the petition contained but So names,
and they had not been certified by
notary as required by law. But J.
L. Mayfeld was called into caucus,
at the bauk late that night and by
the next morning the list was certi-
fed to, although it is not known
what inducement was offered. Per
hsps later developments may explain.
The next morning Jno. 7. Adkins,
democratic nominee for treasurer,
arrived from Holly (supposedly up
on CALI and met Mr.. Mayfield and
prominent socialist at the train. AT
ter hurried consultation between
Messrs. Msyfield and Adkins, May
field went to Lamar, while Adkins
stayed in Granada. The prominent
socialist also stayed.
While Mr.. Adkins was in town,
additional voters were taken into the
Farmers & Merchants bank where
they affixed their names to an addi-
tional petition (supposedly to correct
the hurried work of the night before)
for Mr.. Brown to file as representa-
tive candidate. Assistant Cashier
J. N. Akey was the presiding no.
tsry.
A little further investigation shows
that Henry Schneider was nominal
ed by the socialists for treasurer but
did not accept the nomination.
There is an acceptance fled by G.
Stimson for this Office, but no nomi-
nation has been fled for him. Hence
this leaves the office of treasurer
blank on the socialist ticket, al
though majority of the socialists
think they have a nominee. This
raises these queries:
l. If the petition was signed be-
fore thenotary who finally scknowl-
edged it, why was it presented to any
otherf
2. II it was all right, why were
other nsmes> securedf
3. What was the consideration
for fixing itf Did the visit of Mr..
Adkins next morning have any thing
to do with tho fixingf
4. Why are the socialists being
duped on the filing for county treas
ursrf
5. Are they to be told later "You
have no candidate for treasurer, help
us, We helped you"
6. Is there not similarity be-
tween the planning in this and the
plan which sprang primary on tho
democrats two hours before the
printed call fixed the hourY
Z. Does it not look as if fall is
being taken out of Trailer to help
Adkins?
8. Will Trailer be plessedP
8. Will the socialists stand the
work, coarse as it ISL

POTATO RIVAL
Discovery in South America of :
Sweet-Scented Tuber.

Washington, July 19.-Rivaluing
the Irish potato in flavor. exceeding it
in production and furnishing at the
same time fro mits blossoms, an ex-
quisite perfume, new white potato
is being exploited in France. Thorn
we'll Haynes, United States consul at
Rouen, has reported it to the State
Department..
Mr.. Haynes says that this wild
aquatic vegetable was introduced
from the banks Of the river Merce-
DIES, Uruguay, and distributed in
France by Prof. Heckel, director of
the Colonial Institute Of Marseilles.
In it's original state the tuber is very
bitter, but DIR. Heckel pronounces
marvellous the results of four years of
experiments with it.
In the same soil the yield is greatly
superior to that of the ordinary po-
tato. The Early Rose in one instance
gave 5000 pounds to the acre, the
American Marvel 5000 pounds and
this new species $500.

New York, July 1S.-After shooting
William GOrricy and Alonzo Dcrando
of Manhattan, during an attack made
upon him last night by crowd of
men at Schurer's picnic park at Cor
ona, L. l., Charles Conran. detective
on duty in citizens clothes, sought
refuge under a dancing platform, and
was there shot and killed by Police
man John P. Gerrity. Conran's fight
with the crowd had caused a call to
be sent in for police reserves, and
when they arrived several in the
crowd told the officers that the man
who did the shooting was under the
platform. Nothing was said about
Conran being a detective nor of his
having shot in self-defense. Gerrity
crawled under the platform and or
deIed Conran to come out. Receiving
no answer, he fired and Conran was
instantly killed.
