land and is busy manufacturing "evid-
snce'' against candidates all over the
State. The modern campaign lier
never spins, only in election years, and
never tolls. Between meals he
makes living by questionable pratices
anything in fact that promises to give
him a little money to keep body and
soul together. But | am depressing,
for who cares what the campaign lier
Ia doing? He is probably working"
what he considers is ligtimate, SO "let
her go Gallagher" What 1 started in
to say was:
The report which is being industrially
circulated by few political pirates and
freebooters to the effect that Thomas
e. McClelland, Republican nominee for
District Attorney, was and is a men,
ber of the so called Citizens Alliance
and that he prosecuted certain members
Of the Miners Union at Cripple Creek,
Colorado, as District Attorney for that
plsce, during the time of the industrial
troubles there is wholly without founda-
ton. | have made it my business to
investigate these reports and in the
course of my Investigations have con-
suited no less than twenty persons who
were formerly residents of the Cripple
Creek District, among them men who
At the time of the trouble knew who
we're members of the so-called Alliance,
and sill of them, regardless Of their
political affiliations agree that the re-
port is not only false but maliciously
so. Mr.. McClelland never belonged to
the Citizen Alliance in Cripple Creek or
elsewhere and was never connected in
any way, not even as witness, in any
Of the prosecutions which followed the
troubles in that District. He was
County Attorney of the County in
which the Cripple Creek District is
located but as such had only to do with
the civil affairs of the county in which
it or some of its officers were interested
In their official capacity. Mr.. McClell-
and's sole connection with the disorders
at Cripple Creek was in the line OF
military duty and l am informed that
for the manner in which he performed
that duty he has no apology to make to
any man on earth. If a man is to be
disqualified because of the faithful per-
formance of duty it is high time that
the good citizens of White Pine County
found it out
do not believe the judgement of the
honest voters of White Pine will in any
way be warped by the mouthings of
political tramps, who are one day
Republicans and the next Democrats.
The argument of tariff for revenue
emily" may be best suited to a descrip-
ton of them.
The Republicans of White Pine county
are not ashamed of the ticket they have
put in the field, nor any man on it and
will take the chances at the polls of
having the action taken by their party,
In convention assemble ratified on No
vember 9Th
The ticket as whole will stand
favorable comparison with any ever
nominated in the county Every can
didate from State Senator to Constable
is all right, all right and they represent
a party that does something besides
howl.
While have not one word to say of
any candidate on the Democratic ticket
and believe in letting everybody enjoy
his political and religious convictions,
be they what they may, shall reserve
the right for myself to offers, in my
feeble way, reasons why l think the
Republican candidates are best fitted to
carry to success the affairs of the
county
