Questions and Their Answers by
One Who Knows.

with you on the craftsmanship
fight; how does the matter look
now?
Judge: Just as it did then.
Hendricks is chairman. The con-
vention called by him for Satur-
day, Sept. 18th will meet and
nominate the regular Marshall
county ticket. | am not able to
see how the election commission
ers can fail to put the ticket
named at that convention under
the eagle, on the ballot to be vot-
ed in November.
Farmer: | thought the machine
was preventing this convention
by an injunction by the court.
Judge: They made the attempt
but failed. The courts refused to
aid them in their tricks. Just
think for a moment of the affron-
terry and gall of the boilers. 1st
bolt the results of a legal Re
publican committee meeting; 2nd
hold a boilers convention and
nominate a boilers ticket; 3rd,
apply to the courts for an injunc-
ton to prevent the regular Re
publicans from holding a conven-
ton and nominating a ticket; 18th
making an affidavit that they
could not get justice in Marshall
county courts and getting a
change to another county.
Farmer: Do you think it wise
to have two Republican tickets ?
Judge: There wilt be only one
Republican ticket. The election
commissioners of Marshall coun-
tv will decide which of the two
tickets is the actual Republican
ticket and it will be placed under
the eagle, the Republican en-
blem. There is no doubt in my
mind which one of the two tick
cts it will be. 1t will be the one
nominated next Saturday.
Farmer: You believe then that
it is the duty of Republicans to
attend that convention?
Judge: | do. Every true Re
publican, that is every Republi
can who has not taken part in the
boilers convention.
Farmer: | have had talks with
several machine leaders and they
| try to make much of attempts
| to compromise
Judge: The object of the ma
chine in boiling was to prevent
Hendricks, the legally elected
chairman, from serving in that
position, and every offer of com
promise they have made has hat
that point made prominent; he
| to give up the position and lei
some one of their choosing BIZ
chairman.
Farmer: | see the Chronicle
| makes much of the fact that the
attorneys employed by Hen
bricks are Democrats.
Judge: | have noticed that
and it certainly shows that TIL,
machine does not care for thu
election of the county and town
ship tickets. Marshall count,
has a Democratic majority. NJ
Republican candidate can b.
elected in this county withou
the aid of Democratic votes ant
for a paper that processes to b.
a Republican paper to object to
Republican employing a Demo
crat for his attorney is very un
wise and shows that the machin
cares nothing for the success o
cousiv candidates. Their onl,
concern is for the election o
congressman, their BOSS. III
gave them sheir jobs and they ar
spokes in his machine and mus
do his bidding. After Boys make
that foolish plea it would be ex
cusable in any Democrat to re
| fuse to be subscriber or adver
tiser with his paper; in fact thi
| fight on the part of Hendrick
and his followers is a fight 70
principles and not of men; no
whether Mr.. Hendricks or MI
| earn is the best man for chair
man; but whether the Republl
can voters of Marshall count,
| will allow themselves to be die
tated to by a machine for thei
own selfish ends. If they ha
fairly and legally elected tn
chairman we would have worke
under him as we always have i
the past. but when they fail t
| elect and bolt to secure their end
| for my part, absolutely refus
| to acknowledge them as master,
