sIxTH DISTRICT NOTES.

rs there going to be a new politi-
cal deal in the Sixth district" is a
question openly asked now. The rea-
son of this is: Two of the best legis-
lative offices this winter were given to
the boss busters, as follows: Frank
Lockard, of Norton county, sergeant
at arms in the senate. and Dan B.
D. Dyer, of Smith Ounty, sergeant
at arms in the lower branch. The
former has been state senator. mem
Der of the board of charities and post
master of Norton; the latter has been
a continuous candidate for Office for
more than twenty years, and this is
the first office to which he has as
pired that he won. And there is Sam
Garland, the noted colored politician
of Osborne county, who was elected
cloak room guard in the state senate
This is his third round, the two other
terms he served being the same posi-
ton in the lower house of the legis-
lature. He, too, was and is an active
boss buster. The only answer one
can give to the inquiry whether there
is going to be a new political deal, is
whether Lockard, Dyer and Garland,
assisted by Columbus Borin, of De-
catur county, who has a clerksh1p in
the state senate, and w. w. Carney,
of Graham county, and
Vanderbur, of Russell county, who
hold appointed jobs in the state SEN
ate, are going to manipulate things IN
the district to control the politics.
