FROM oELAMAR.

Hurrah for Democracy. We have
the Republicans on the wing in this
part of Lincoln county. The latest
move of McNamee here was to ap-
point a Democrat as deputy sheriff in
Delamar
To people unfamiliar with Nc
Namee's method II appears that he is
trying to square himself with the vot-
ers here and also gather in a few
Democratic votes. but, alas. it is too
late. the entries are all made and the
books are closed, so over the river
with you and your proxy methods of
controlling Lincoln county.
While you need good care in select
ing very popular and law abiding
citizen to further your schemes, II is
too late and allow us to call your a,
tention to the fact that your work is
too coarse for the voters of Lincoln
county not to see them. Is 1t possible.
Mr. McNamee. that you are student
from the same political school as the
senior senator from Utah? Possibly
not. but the ear marks and symptoms
OF your methods are one and the
same
Do you suppose We Democrats will
stand silently by and allow you to use
one OF our party to further your cause
without a word of protest, and espe-
cially while you have only laid Leach
aside until after election. A person
that can see through a ladder can see
through your schemes.
You want Mr.. Pace for deputy for
the time being only, and then twt
more years of Leach and your bunch
IL you are successful. Remember
| say it. Do not let me raise any
false hopes in yours or Jake's breast
for the Jig Is up with you both.
While am pleased to see Demo
cratic deputy sheriff in Delamar. am
not In favor of the methods used to
put him there A Democratic deputy
/ in Delamar is what you will see here
after, not temporarily. but permanent.
not only in Delamar, but in every pre-
cinct in Lincoln county.
And now, Jake, word to YOU Ii
does seem rude to so suddenly snatch
you from your peaches and cream
after you have gotten so accustomed
to them for the past eight or ten
years. but you should have seen the
handwriting on the wall and shown
the people not only of Delamar. but
every precinct in Loncoln county the
consideration due every citizen re-
garding the appointing of deputies
and other of your methods too nu-
merous too mention.
Another wheel boss has entered the
race. A highly respected citizen
from Dutch Flat by the name OF
Smith.
I mention these facts for you are
perhaps not aware of them, for you
are no doubt SO busy appointing and
dismissing deputies along with a few
other minor matters pertaining to
your office that you have not heard
that some one else has entered the
race.
AS in all races there is always Ia
vorite and Mr.. Smith is the favorite In
this event, besides that he has the
pole, and from all indications he viii
hold it through the heat. So all there
is for you to do is to try and make as
good a race as possible for four tMc-
Namee's) party's honor.
After the race is over, get rub
down, for 1t will be your last; your
days of usefulness are over. as Is al
ways the result in cases like yours.
You are on the taboggan1 going at
fearful rate, as all men whose methods
are like yours must take sooner or
late. So I will advise yon to whistle
for the emergency brakes so that the
bottom will be reached with as much
ease as possible so that it will not dis
able you for life as is often the case
Goodby old boy, you will be elected
sheriff Of Lincoln county when two
Tuesdays come in one week.
