The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-12-18

stated that il vas less than 500. The
Leader publisher says his circulation IS
greater, and shrieked liar, i1, but
makes no statement Of how much
greater. Since he failed to state how
much greater, We may reasonably pre-
sumo that he can not prove that II Is
materially greater. So the purpose for
which the statement was made holds
good.
The Echo stated that The Leader
had much to say Just before the pr
mary election in regard to the letting
Of the contract for the county print
ing" to which the ex-reverend again
shouts liar, lar" and in the same
paragraph states that il did not print
anything about the printing matter IN
I'll a month later. Then the statement
remains true as 70 what II printed, only
that il was a month later in time. The
primary election was held Sept. s, and
the general election followed On Nov. ).
Now, # The Echo had stated that The
Leader had much to say IN regard 10
! the letting Of the contract for the
county printing just before the cleo
ton. lOct. 81 It would have been ex-
act, according to The Leaders own
statement. Not having access to the
files Of the paper must account for this
slight eror IN time. Here he again
hoarsely shIieked liar
But it was not the County Printing
Contract" story that CALLED the pub
Usher Of The Leader. Ever since Aug
ust last he has nursed a sore place that
smarted every time he sat down, the
result Of a spanking administered 10
him for making the silly charge that
The Echo was paid to oppose his pet
candidate for congress.
The man who was once ordained a
minister, took the vow, and followed
the occupation fo1 a while, then PIT
of the livery Of heaven, and IS nov
serving the devil in the skin Of jack
ass, was caught with the goods. I'm
der the heading Of a Golden Idol
with Feet Of Clay," The Echo exposed
Sweet Jack" To the charge that he
had violated the primary election law
and was subject to prosecution, he
was as silent as a graveyard. Never a
word in reply to the grave charge, in
the interest Of good government, as
the pious old fraud (saye the mark
said last week. This paper that claims
to transact its business in the daylight,
with ex-Pious the First for its editor,
accepted ten dollars tor printing the
picture OF Milo A. Root, with fulsome
praise Of him, all TO the end that the
voters who read The Leader should
vote for him as q proper man TO re-
elect TO the Supreme Court bench.
Nothing TO indicate that i was paid
/ for. the readers Of The Leader took i
as the personal editorial endorsement
Of the editor. L was this damaging
charge that left the raw place, and the
mere mention, in The Echo, Of ex-Pious
the First and his paper acted ike salt
on an open sore.
What have you TO say for yourself, N
the light Of the recent disclosures N
regard to Nj. Root, ex-Pious? Did
you not give Nj. Root your personal
endorsement for a ten-dollar money
order? Come, speak up, old ex-Pious.
Not another paper in the state was
caught as you were-wlth the goods.
How your readers must despise You for
advising them TO vote for MILO A.
Root, now convicted al the bar Of pub
lie opinion for using his high Office for
base purposes.
The Leader uansacts lis business
in the daylight. When such senile
buzzards as the Aforesaid editor Of The
Echo butt in, they find The Leader
and always viii find it-Johnnie on the
spot, said ex-Pious, last week.
Get on the spot now, Johnnie,
and tell your readers about that ten
dollars you received for advising the
readers Of The Leader TO vote for Milo
A. Root.
Ex-Pious started this little newspaper
pleasantly in the dog days Of August
last BY intimating that The Echo was
