Fifteen dollars seems to be the price
republicans are paying democrats to
work for them. Awful cheap when
you consider that we have so much
prosperity.
Our next representative, y. 2. T.
Ewell, was in the city part of last week
getting acquainted with the voters.
Lewis Knorp is from Missouri, and

| when dressed up, got some money and
| is now off for three weeks visit with

back for eight years and is entitled to a
| good visit.
| For some time we have noticed a
number of the ladies acting rather mys.
FERROUS as though they had something
good that they were keeping from their
husbands, and after quite a time we
have through the courtesy of Mrs. E. H.
Sherk, been enabled to find out what it
was. They have organized a ladies
club, not one to hammer the poor men
with, but one in which the ladies meet
and discuss different kinds of art, as
well as practice the same. 1t IS called
the u. w. F." club. Mrs. E. H.Sherk
was elected their first president, Mrs
l.. w. Fullerton, vice. president; Mrs.
H. E. Fox, secretary and treasurer
They meet each alternate Wednesday
evening. Their last meeting was al
the residence of Mrs. Fullerton. The
time was devoted to fancy work. Mrs
Fullerton and Miss Betty served a
dainty luncheon.
We have talked with great many
old time republicans since the two tick
cts have been placed before the people
of Barber county, and have yet to find
one that will say that he believes E
II. Nixon was honestly elected two
years ago Neither have we ever heard
one of them claim that he believed
any of the democrats were elected by
dishonest means or illegal votes. In a
few days all of them will have an op-
portunity to show by their votes wheth.
er they are ready to endorse the Nixon
election or not, by returning him to the
legislature for a second term. Every
vote in his favor IS a vote endorsing his
method of election two years ago.
What would you republicans say or do
If it had been the democrat that
got there the way Nixon did? There is
not one of you but what would say and
repeat it often. that every honest man
ought to vote against him, and if true
with democrat, why not republican.
1t is now up to the honest voters to say
whether they believe in honest or dis
! honest elections. Some, no doubt, will
shut their eyes and take it straight.
