W. F. HOOK MAKES STATEMENT
Regarding Incident in His Office
That Led to False Reports.
To the editor OF the News

To the editor OF the News
Since so many untrue and foolish
reports have been circulated about al
incident that occurred in my Office. on
the day after the election, | feel that
in justice to all parties concerned, |
should give this statement to the pub
lie.
Col D r. Murray, representing the
Democrats, and John + Haswell, Jr.,
~ the attorney for Mir Dennie
Sheeran, the Republican candidate
tor sheriff Were both present, rs they
had the right to be. Neither attorney
was a candidate for any Office. When
the Custer ballot box was brought in
by the nudge and sheriff of that pre-
cinct and was being u.locked by them,
and being examinedSby my deputy
clerk Nj. Ed Dillon, before he
issued the receipts to the said judge
and sheriff, Col. Murray stated that
he thought the Custer ballot box had
been opened before Mr.. Haswell
said he thought 1t had not been open
ed previously. This dispute was
settled in a friendly manner. by re-
tuning to the box all that had been
taken out Of 1t by the Judge of that
precinct and the sheriff and judge 6
the election re.locking the ballot box.
As a matter OF fact. it afterward
turned out, that the Custer ballot box
lad not been opened previously.
Out of this Incident grew all the re-
ports that were told in various part
OF the county. which were, perhaps,
believed by some.
Neither attorney did anything
wrong. either professionally or other
wise, and make this statement 80 tn
the public may know the real fac..
about the matter.
Respectfully,
". F. Hook.
County Clerk.

An Appeal to
The Public.

Last Tuesday occurred one of the
boldest steals and rottenest elections
ever conducted in Breckenridge
county.
Two years ago, the Republican ticket
carried this county by safe majority,
fact which is known by all Repub-
leans and conceded by great many
Democrats. Rat, in view of the pro-
babIe cost q contest none was In
stituted at that time This fact gave
the Democratic machine more conf
dence and boldness in practicing every
s.Anceivable fraud and outrage upon
the ballot 10 the so called election in ST
held so everything that was bad and
vicious and low in the election two
wears ago was repeated this year, and
in addition, every trick, device and
unlawful scheme known to the slickest
ana worst ward hummer that ever dis
graced ana befouled an election, was
used and attempted to be used, to
defrsud, corrupt and debauch the
ballot in the good county of Brecken-
ridge. The fraud, corruption, bribery
and intimidation employed by the
Democratic machine on last Tuesday,
was as bad as those methods en-
ployed by rammany Hall in the worst
precinct in the red-Ight district Of
New York
Honest and decent citizens OF al
parties sought and desired an honest,
decent election. 1t is matter OF com
mon knowledge that it was the vilesi
and most corrupt che that ever dis
giaoed the county.
As honest citizens can We afford &c
20 on forever toierating this vicious,
corrupt and fraudulent method OF con
Quoting elections. thus defeating the
will OF the people. Bow long wilt the
people let these methods contlnuer
The only way to remedy these great
evils is to appeal TO the courts, tins
H2fy place where partisan bitterness
Nd passion is laid aside and every
man receives justice. Only the guilty
,!read a court of equity. A contest
costs money. Now, L appeal to al
good citizens who know the ballo
was outraged and that the returns
do not show the true and correct result
of the recent election, to write me a
once what his views upon this matte
are and to indicate what amount o
money he is:wilIing to contribute Il
defrsy the expenses OF contest seek
ing to set aside this election, which
reeks with fraud and corruption. If
contest is decided upon the petition

Wilson May Enter Race.

Hamilton, December 3.-(Special )-Your correspondent is realiably informed that there is something doing in the sena- torial race in the thirty-first district. Col bert county already has three avowed can didates, but it is claimed that Marion and Franklin counties will combine against Colbert and bear off the honor. The reason given for this is that Colbert now has the circuit judge and solicitor and had the district delegate to the con stitutional convention and that it is Mar ions to have the senator. The friends of G. J. Wilson, editor of the Marion County News, are urging that he make the fight for the place, and claim that even in Colbert county he has warm and influen- tial friends. When interviewed by the writer Hr. Wilson said that the primary was too far off to be making any state ment. MT. Wilson is fully qualified for the distinguished honor, and if he enters the race will make it interesting for the other candidates.
