OF Mr.. Flanagan, of Texas, at the

There you have it. Do the repub-
licans OF Day county desire to turn
the county Offices over to the mem
bers of the Levoy- Dunton-J Jenkins
league? Do they want to nominate
a ticket planned for them in Frank
Anderson's back Office? Do they
want to nominate l.. G. Levoy for
treasurer, E. A. Merger for auditor;
George Dunton for register of deeds;
DR.. Jenkins for coroner; Frank
Anderson for states attorney and SO

the republicans Of this county turn
over the management of party and
Offices to bunch Of men who have
always been democratsf Well we
guess not. Do those fellows think
the mere fact that they swear their
votes in at the spring primaries they
can make majority Of republicans
believe that they have any further
use for the party than it's disruption,

They will have no more show in the

The Webster World (by and with
the advice and consent OF the Levoy-
Dunton-J enking league) has thrown
of the mask, declares it is a repub-
lican paper and boldly demands the
county Offices. 1t will be remem-
bered that Immediately after the
state convention, it commenced a
mild campaign for the nomination
OF men for the Legislature who would
work in unison with Crawford in
carrying out certain reform measures
but now it wants "hog bite" and
demands every Office in sight. That's
all right. Bronson, when your asking,
ask a-plenty. But you will GET

county are not prepared to turn oyer

direlicts represented by your organ.

An old soldier friend remarks that
the insurgents in this county remind
him Of those human vultures of war
tlmes-the camp followers. True,
the resemblance is strong in many
ways. Both work under cover Of
darkness, both watch the fight from
safe distance and then proceed TO
secure what "loot" they can when
the battle is won. They are too
cowardly to fight in the open, yet
both are ready to assassinate-one,
the wounded soldier, the other an
opponents character. One, to strip
the dead of his uniform for wear,
sale or trade; the other, to steal the
garb of republicanism for selfish and
mercenary motives. Nothing is
sacred to either class Of coffee
coolers" and both are held in hearty
contempt by all honest defenders,
either OF country or party principles.
Yes, our old soldier friend is right.

his strength, this is the only point
on which they are agreed. Frank
Anderson insists that he is the

claims upon the position. Levoy
thinks that he is the real thing as
he has been chairman of several
democratic conventions and promi-

democratic state ticket, but George
Dunton points out that he has con-
tributed literally of his time and

throne from whence he aspires to
