their crowd cot their spirits. He re-
marked that while over at the resi-
dence of his brother candidate that
afternoon or evening. the crowd over
there reminded him of q lot OF hogs.
swilling down beer. OF course. that
can all be laid to the present admin
istration.
About the illegal voting: Is it any
fault of the administration that the
Haugen crowd overlooked nifty. votes
in the city? They seem to think
that because they made a careful poll
of the voters of the city. and there.
were fifty more votes cast than they
had figured on. that somebody was to
blame for that. Who iB It?
II there was any illegal voting, why
did not the states attorney, who Is an
avowed enemy Of Jones, prosecute the,
two men whom he caused to be ar
rested this morning? Because the ar
rests were nothing more or less than
a bluff to intimidate the voters and
keep some Of these they were not sure
of away from the pollsl Why did the
states attorney himself dismiss the
actions the next morning? Because
he knew and they all knew that the

ministration forces had carried ON y
campaign, of bulldozing and intimida-
ton for several days before election,
hands and warrants were prepared on
used? Because they dare not-whep
the time care.
/. Why did the anti-administration
forces have their tools and hirelings at
every polling place in the city to chal-
lenge votes from the time the polls
opened until they closed Why did
they have the gall to challenge citi-
zens of the town who have lived here
continuously for a period of several
years? Why, as we. asked before, did
not the states attorney follow up some
of this illegal voting" If there was SO
much Of 1t done? He certainly would
have done so had there been any posi-
bility of his being In the right. They
say, "a majority Of our preachers also
showed their colors openly" We can
say that there was not preacher in
the town that did not show his colors
openly, and one Of them, particularly,
showed that he had tho courage Of
his convictions. If Citizen" really
thinks that the methods pursued by
any one in the recent election would
not bear the light Of dav in an honest
court of Justice, why don't they do
something about 1t? Because it is all
wind. They are sore-heads, writhing
under the sting OF a beating that was
richly deserved and handsomely ad-
ministered and the haven't the neces-
sary amount of manhood in their
measly hides to take their licking like
men. We think the only episode that
would not bear the light u investiga-
ton was when one Of the Haugen sup
porters used vile, abusive and profane
language to a man who was about to
vote. We think that that is about the
only episode that would not bear the
light of investigation. The Citizen"
that didn't Hardly know which to ad-
mire more" would probably admire
seeing them in print. Mayor Jones
received the united support of three
fourths of the business men of the
city and they are all satisfied with
the way the affairs of the city are con-
Quoted. Every one is. satisfied with
the exception Of few sore-heads-
and they will probably cool down In
time. In the meantime everything is
progressing nicely and with the ex-
ception Of the unconsolable half dozen
everybody is happy and contented.
Fair Play.
