Nearly all the Republicans, and all of
the Democrats, have for long time
favored peace at home, and while SO
| many are in favor of this there is not
much danger of one or two being able

religion. and the schools affairs bend

We heard Republican remark that
it cost E. II. Nixon about 81 900 to be
elected to the legislature two years age
and even then wasn't elected. -Four
years ago John A. Lester made q
school house campaign, paid the com
mittee $40, and after all was figured uI
his expenses were only about $45, anG
to add to that he was honestly elected
Now where could one find real homes
use for thousand dollars if not to try
to corrupt the voters, for remember
that Lester was elected, and that goes
to prove that one can be elected with
out such great expense.
We have heard few fellows that ar,

light on the subject, but it is our pri
vate opinion that Nixon had been ou
so much trying to get an Office that he
really needed it to help pay expenses
but then why be out so much wher
others have made the campaign, anC
been elected with over $3.50 less than
his reported expenses. 1t would be {
great stroke for Nixon if he would JUS,
come right out and explain this little
matter to the people before election fo
IT he doesn't he may lose few votes
Just tell US all about 1t.
