Geneva Republican Criticizes the
Methods Used Against Candidate.
A citizen of Geneva who asks that
his name be not published sends us the
following communication relative to
the defeat of Benson the republican
nominee for supervisor In Franklin
county:
Geneva, Nov. 12-Editor Times Re-
publican.-The defeat Of Supervisor o.
e. Benson, Of this district, which
caused little surprise to the majority
of the voters of this town, who were
conversant with the undermined and
dishonorable methods employed to
bring it about. And it will have an
important part to play with the polit-
ical aspirations of certain sore heads
who have been repudiated at the pri-
maries for the straights are thoroughly
aroused and openly express their de-
termination to- see that the men who
were beaten in the convention three
years ago can not build themselves up
in the republican party Of this county
or district by secretly undermining
their successful rival at the Poles as
was the case in the defeat of Mr.. Ben
son.
Mr.. Benson who has been good
official as well as a good citizen, posi-
lively refused to do anything to secure
his reelection when he became assur-
ed of the methods his former party as
sociates were using against him, and
informed his friends that as he got his
denomination without opposition he
would rather be defeated than solicit
republican votes In republican dis
trict as his official record was open to
the voters and they could Judge and
act accordingly.
The result in this district points out
the danger a party is subject to when
1t has in It's ranks a number Of defeat
ed candidates who are not willing to
abide by the results of their party
primaries when they are the defeated,
as was the case for supervisor in this
district three years ago.
This election leaves behind 1t bit
terness which will be handed down to
torment rs In the future
