Taking sides with President Roose

Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, in his
sermon in Plymouth Church, Brook

the Union College player on Satur-
day, denounced the game.
Strange, passing strange" said
DR.. Hills, ''in this era Of philanthropy
and sympathy for the poor and weak,
that men should have to re-read the
words Thou should not kill Terrible
the need to remember the sanctity
of life by reason of the killing of our
young men in college; slain to make
a Roman holiday.
Yesterday morning the papers
said that 10 young collegians had
been killed in football thus far this
autumn.
Yesterday, at 2o'clock, that youth
in Union College said to his compan
ion. My father is here. He has
never seen me play. | am going to
play the game of my life, then, to put
him out of business, six men fell upoI

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:

lIDl loR
i saw Populist's letter from
Elton and would like him to know
that his neighbor and supervisor
has not quite all the bridge tim
Der about his farm from the
whole district, as two farms in
Lillian township at least bridge
plank are used as corn cribs, pig
peas, barns and one case in which
make believe republican has
sheltered himself and family from
the schorching heat of summer
and the chilling blasts of winter
bene cath bridge plank furnished
by Mr.. Greenwalt kridges have
been built over dry runs where
none are needed. Others neg
lected where needed. An UNI
necessary expense of 5000 at a
small run north of Gates bridge,
all your friend Greenwalt's doing.
After the bridge committee had
agreed to make a fill and dry the
the run botch job was done and
allowed by our supervisor at
500. The water was never
stopped but it cost the county
and you Mr.. Taxpayer, no matter
where you live IN Custer county,
but it does not stop here. Mr.
Greenwalt sent the Standard
Bridge Co. there to put in a
bridge and he allowed the work
over the phone, and never went
to see it, as dozens heard at their
phones. Thistdid not suit West
Unions road master, the bridge
was too high to fill at the ends
so accommodately Mr.. Greenwalt
gave another 500 to nave the
bridge cut down. The county
paid it out of the treasury. Mr..
Populist did you pay your part of
il? l did. This is only a little,
"A very little, but it is enough for
man who has been tried and
we all know the result of his trial,
You think Mr.. Populist that in
Garfield things are wrong. In
West Union and Lillian they are
rotten, so far as bridge work is
concerned. He has betrayed
good honest men of his own party
and has dipensed patronage to
catch purchaseable votes of all
parties and in Lillian township
is striking example. But his

But as a matter of fact the
difference between the outstandA
ing claims January /, 1905, and
the transfers, which is only $5S7, :
IL, was more than met by the
excessive fees turned in by the
several county offices which is
credited direct to the general
fund.
Further than that e it is true
that warrants paid out of the
sinking fund is an debtednes SIS
against the county, the populist
board should be charged with
creating debt for 1905 for over
S25, 900, as not a dollar of 1905
has been collected and the board
has issued warrants on 1905 levy
for over SIS, 200 which has been
paid out of the sinking fund.

by the will of the m jority of his
party. Not only that but he has
always contributed his time in
support of the ticket subject to
the direction of the Central Com
mite, Not only that but he has
always been outspoken and fear
less in stating his convictions on
any and all subjects. He is not a
policy man. With this character
istics as a man and his extensive
knowledge of law and practice he
can be dope nded upon as a strict
ly upright judge, executing the
law to the letter. Every vote for
him for county judge will be in
the interest of good government
and an intelligent and faithful
execution Of the laws of our state.

Voters Chance.

Next Tuesday the voters will
have an opportunity to relieve
the county of populist control.
Three members of the county
board are to be elected for the
ensuing two years. The retiring
members are A. Fonda, Geo.
Greenwalt and Joe Fennimore.
The two latter are populists and
if reelected will continue the
populistS in control for another
term. No republican can afford
to vote for the opposition this
year merely for personal reasons.
The matter Of the success Of the
entire republican ticket is Of
greater moment to the public
than are the personal preference
of any individual. There is no
question but the republican voters
in the county and in each district
are in the majority and by every
republican.remain true to his
party on election day, every re-
publican candidate will be elect
ed. Do not be a Judas in the
camp. The party in every ms
lance nominated the best avail
able man for the place. While
you might have thought and
done different, the best judg-
ment of the majority should
rule. The ticket is clean, cap
able and in every respect worthy
of your support. This is your
chance to rid the county of popu-
list rule,

records, stating every claim al
lowed for such purposes are on
file and signed by the claims
committee, of which Mr.. Green
walt is not member" Yet that
does not disprove the statement
of "A Populist." The records
shows the claims allowed to able
bodied residents of Mr.. Green
waits district and they would
never have been presented or al
lowed except with his consent
and solicitation.
AS to the matter of his cor
rails being built out of bridge
lumber, we still insist that the
voters of the district can satisfy
themselves by calling al his place.
Not only that but they will find
the north string of his fence is
strung on posts split from BRIDE
lumber. This can be seen by any
one who will go to the trouble to
investigate for himself. AS a
matter of fact it is a neighbour
hood talk and known to all of his
neighbors.

and requested him to allow me to
reply to the article in the Beacon
last week but he declined to al.

was compelled 10 go to the RE-

enough to grant ali men fair
play.
When 7 mentioned to Mr..
Greenwalt about keeping so
many families he said by doing
it he got the support of friends
and relations of those families
who were republicans. Now Mr..
"Citizen' we are tired Of sup
porting such man as populist.
1t is reported that Mr.. Green
walt says, she will be reelected

true, but how do we know but it

Vote For Fodge.

The republican nominee in the
Fourth Supervisors district has
nominated ]. NJ. Fodge for
supervisor. A. Sommers of
Merna, was first nominated but
declined and Mr.. Fodge was APP
pointed to fiji the vacancy. We
are informed that a strong ring
has been org anized in the Fourth
District, in which the Standard
Bridge Co., is very much inter
ested to reflect the present in
cumbent, Mr.. Fenimore. 1t is
limited that several republicans
are i'll the ieal. This we hope is
not true.
Mr.. Fodge is a man Thoroughly
competent to fill the position.
His experience in the past will be
to his advantage. He is a man
of high moral character and bust
ness qualifications. He is an old
soldier and in every way worthy
of the support of the public.
The district went republican last
fall for lieutenant governor by
80 majority. With the same
loyalty to Mr.. Podge his election
will be assured.

To the voters of Supervisors
District No. ,:
| desire to add my testimony
in behalf of Roy Welch, the re-
publican nominee for supervisor
Of our district. | have known
Mr.. WEIGH for the past seven
years. He is clean, Industrious
and honest and | do dot know of
a straighter man than is Mr..
WEIGH. He is a farmer and is
not an Office seeker. 1t was a
case in which the Office sought
the man. He is man we'll
qualified to fill the position and
if elected would be an honor to
his constituents. Something of
his popularity at home where he
is best known can be understood
when | state that three years
ago, when Berwyn township was
pop two to one, he was nominal
ed for township clerk by the re-
publicans and received two.thirds
of the vote of the township. He
is conservative, careful business
and safe man with whom to en-
trust the public interests. We
have no hesitancy in saying that
those who help to elect him will
never have cause to regret. He
is man in every sense of the
word. HERMAN f. GRABRRT.

Be Not Deceived,

Some of the leading pops are
attempting to deny our state
ment in the REPUBLICAN last
week by claiming that the So
l44.S7 is not the total indebted
ness of the county and the pop
papers in all probability will
doubtless make the same claim
this week, sustaining their posi-
ton by statement to the effect
that warrants paid out of the
sinking fund is a debt against
the county. This is not true, as
the levy was made in 1904 to pro-
vide for the expense of the county
before the warrants were issued
aud then only IS per cent of the
levy could be put in warrant un-
til it had been actually paid into
the treasurer.
When warrant is passed over
the desk of the county treasurer
and accepted, by him, regardless
of what fund it is issued on il
ceases to be a debt against the
county, Notwithstanding it may
be paid out of the sinking fund
as it is provided for in the levy
on which the warrant was issued.
BY taking them up out of the
sinking fund is only temporary
Arrangement, that neither in
creases the Indebtedness or in
creases the levies against tbs
county.
Another item that they seek
to charge up as an Indebtedness
is an item of $3,705.92 of 1905
claims which were subsequently
paid out of the following fund:
transferred from the 1904 fund:
| as follows.

Mackey and Fleming Weaken.

Two of the democrat nominees
show the white feather and have
Withdrawn from the ticket.
Strong inducements were offered
some of the other candidates on
the democratic ticket by populist
to withdraw, but they have prov
ed themselves worthy of the con-
tidence imposed in them by their
constituents and did not yield to
the alluring temptations of the
wiley pop.
1t is d sign Of better things
when you see men who are willing
to stand for principle rather tn an
win Temporarily at the expense of
his own conscience.
Men who are true when it cost
them something are men on whom
you can depend. Messrs Mackey
and Fleming's withdrawal from
their ticket may lessen Messers
Cavenee and Woods plurality a
few votes but not enough to de.
feat either of them. So all they
will gain is the plaudits of few
populists, whose main ambition
for success is prompted by the
spoils. Even they at the bottom
OF their heart will have less re-
spect for those who have forsak-
Ell their principles and yielded to
their entreatieS.

figures Fixing Blame for County Indebt
edness. Populist Board Responsible.


In the year 1903, when the pop
board was in control the county
levy was general fund, mills;
bridge, 4 mills, road, |. Total,
II mills.
In 1904 when republicans were
in control the county levy was
general fund, mills; bridge, 213
mills; road a mills and soldiers
relief lilo mills. Total, 10 mills.
In 1905, populist board is
again in control and the levy is
general fund, 7 mills; bridge, 2
$40 mills; road l; soldiers relief,
2-l0 mills. Total, IL mills.
In the year of 1904 when the
republican board assumed control
they found an indebtedness of
IS, 70, which was paid out of
the funds of 1904 and warrants
were drawn on the 1904 fund, to
meet the indebtedness bequeath-
ed by the pop board as follows:
1904, warrant No. -. ..,,..,...........SI O3p -
lO+ warrant No. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. OO2 Us
1904, warrant No. A...... ............... 900 90
Total. ,...,.......S IS 5+l rs
In addition to that sum So, 500
was transferred from various
years and paid out on the indebt-
edness of 1908, making a total of
So, l4l.7S appropriated by the
republican board to pay the in-
debtedness created in 1903 by the
populist board.
Had it not been for having 10
use the levy of 1904 to meet the
Indebtedness of 1908, the republic
cans would have been only
about 1000 behind, after meet
ing the extra expense caused by
the excessive rains and Hoods
which required the replacing of
so many bridges. The total in
debtedneSs now is, as shown by
the clerks record is 50, l44.87, all
of which is on the bridge fund.

The "stock Law Election.

The election to be held Tuesday of
next week, to settle the question IS
to whether or not the provisions of
the stock law shall be enforced with
in the corporate limits of the town
of Scooba, is one of considerable inn
portance just at present, and one
upon which every man entitled to
a vote should make use Of his fran
chise.
There is no question but that the
town is growing; that within the
next couple of years a decided in
crease in its population ismore than
probable. The fact that some par
ties have not alrdady moved in is
due to the lack of dwelling-houses,
or the high pricee at which the own
ers Of land hold desirable building
lots.
Everything should be done which
might tend to induce immigrants to
settle within our borders-and sure
ly the freedom allowed stock on our
streets does not have that tendency.
AS there is considerable division
on the subject, and as some, while
f~avoring the exclusion Of hogs from
the Streets do not favor a law appli-
cable likewise to cattle, the tickets
for use at the election will be SO
printed that one can vote for either
a full stock law or one referring only
to swine.
