Billy NELL. His knowledge of the needs
of the various sections is complete,
and he has always striven to bring the
greatest good TO the greatest number.
His work on behalf of the tax payers
has been intelligent and conscientious.
On every question that has come be-
fore the board while he has been a
member of it he has done his duty. The
voters know this. They know that Billy
Neill Is a man in whom they may re-
pose confidence, secure in the know
ledge that they will never be betrayed.
His services Will be especially Valu-
able during the ensuing four years,
and the voters Will not make the mis-
take of losing them Mr.. Neill VIII be
; triumphantly elected Some men have
found out that they could not use Billy
Neil, and he is most fortunate in hav-
ing them opposed to him, because
every knock of theirs is boost.

to find anything to uge against them
save that they are Republicans. Neill

The Whistle is gratified in the
| knowledge that Charley Easel, the
. Kendall bookkeeper, can talk rings
around Rufus Thompson, as it puts
it, That may be so. Mr.. Easel is an
authority on Socialism. and his study
appears to have been confined largely
to that subject That he is a talker
no one denies. and that he has gifts
as an orator is certNnly true. But all
his talking vii not enable him to de
feat Rufus Thompson. Mr.. Easel is a
new comer-he has not lived in Fer
gus county any longer than Mr. Rae
but that is nothing against him. What
is against him is that his judgement
is not sound, if his speeches are to
: be taken as a criterion. and that he re-
presents the ultra Socialistic wing of
Democracy. He says he is Democrat.
but he is the same kind of a Democrat
that W. r. Hearst is. and Fergus coun-
; " cannot afford to be represented by
; tina kind of man. H. l.. Dekalb ought
TO stand about as much show of de-
: featins Alex Green as Mr.. Easel does
of beating Rufus Thompson. The fact
: is the most saguine Democrats admit
/ that their legislative candidates are
. doomed 10 defeat and ii is only a ques-
/ ton of majorities. There is just one
: issue on that part of the ticket. That
!. issue is: Shall Roosevelt be sustained
