The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-10-25

or written proxy. No man present |
that day knew who the south pre-
cinct committeeman of Green town
ship was, and only 30 precincts had
even pretended representation He
shows his desperation in saying
Hendricks received 16 and Hess IL
votes. This is crack at Louie's
brains for everybody knows he has
too much sense to make it unanimous
for Hendricks if he had the most votes
himself. Then he says a rule was
adopted at the meeting Jan. IS, that
was innocent looking on its face but
was a corker when in motion and
that their people didn't understand il
til after they saw the thing work.
In reply to this l must say if they
haven't sense enough to take care of
themselves they would better not mix
in We were there that day to get
even for what was done to us by the
machine two years before, and up to
this date we haven't lost point. We
were right and have been all the time
and are yet, and are battling against
such desperation as Boys expressed
to Foster Groves.
He complains that Ranstead and
Stephenson were not permitted to
vote the proxies of their townships.
We believed then and do now that
Ranstead wrote the proxy himself
end as for Mr. Stephenson, Boys
Knows that State Chairman Good
rich said that he had no right to the
votes he offered. He says the two
committeeman from Union were not
allowed to vote for Mr. Norris; they
didn't want 20 because he was lille
gally elected the same as the other
two that were displaced. Mr.. Parks
of Bourbon had the proxy of Mr..
Rogers by telephone, as he lives five
miles in the country, and Mr. Parks
had no time to see him personally
Some times Boys gives Mr.. Hen
bricks credit for - votes, and again
16 and Hess IL and earn 10 and
sometimes 20, making Sc or SO votes
all told.
We would like him TO settle down
to something definite. We are afraid
the machine is getting ready to run
in a cold deck on us two years from
now, but maybe it is only Boys glib
| berish in his rawlings. Last week one
day-it must have been the day he
wrote that article, a stranger went by
| his hole in the ground, and asked
what was the matter with that man
down there, he must be crazy, he was
Saying 13, II, 16, 20, 10, 30, 33, but we
assured him it was nothing only the
editor had lied so much that he had
fits. He says, some say if Hen
bricks was smart enough to get him
self elected by whatever means, he
should have been allowed to hold
1.-THE Office" Sure Mr.. B. you seem to
: have yet to learn that "all things are
fair in love and war; and what
makes Boys so desperate is; this is
a war of his own starting, with the
/ best generals against him and he is
sgetting licked every time. See?
Then he speaks of stealing corn
That is something new to me. new
er heard Boys was accused of that
/ You know they used to tell the
dear people Hendricks wasn't chair
MIN at all, but they seem to have
found out he is and is very much
, lalive too.
Boys speaks of the Grand Hotel
meeting and says four or five Hen
bricks followers tried to break UP
| the meeting by rough housing
! Things Do you, my friends, believe
there were only four or five? If sc
what kind of men were the boilers
there were 40 or so of them and
Pickerl was there too.
Mr.. Norman in talk with Mr.
Hendricks and myself the day Bricl
had one of his gum shoe meeting:
here, when I told him that Head
| said he wanted TO arrest the whole
bunch, Mr. Norman said, my good
mess, it would have taken standing
army to arrest that crowd that day
Il At the time he says they were max
ling overtures, with tears in their eye:
. to have Hendricks and earn both
, Iresign, they were claiming Hendricks
WASN'T chairman at all, and we knew
earn wasn't SO that don't count!
RI AS regards the committee appoint
ed to wait on Mr.. Hendricks about

!, ling of it at all and Mr.. Hendrick:
: says it is like Metsker's pipe dreams
There was no convention held june
II and the only Republican ticket wa.
nominated Sept IS.
4 In one place he speaks of Mr.. Hen
, bricks turning tail and running away
(which is not true as all know. Mr.
Hendricks has not ruin away from
