An ALLEGED dispatch In the local
newspaper Saturday head
ed. washington Eyes Turned on
Harrison county was doubtless
manufactured in the local Democratic
take factory. and turned out By that
monstrosIty in incorporation for the
sole purpose Of decreasing the Re-
publican vote in Harrison county
rather than to tmpart news,
In the first place 1t is mere bosh
to state that the City OF Washington
is looking this way. The assertion
is ventured by the Telegram that
Washington has not even thought OF
Harrison county in this campaign as
this county is a mere drop in the
bucket, one may say, in the great
political sea.
The design OF the alleged spec
ial, however, is what amuses.
Denocratic papers and leaders In
this part of the stale have diligently
endeayored to work up lack of har-
mony in the Republican party, be-
cause of differences among certain
members of the party and preferences
at the spring primary election. and
the so-called special had to DO
with this. the apparent assasstn's
hand being bloody with the desire
to use the dagger both ways-one to
keep friends of the county ticket
from voting for Mr.. Hubbard and
the other to induce Mr.. Hubbard
TO order his warmest support
ers not to support the ticket
of the county selected at the same
time they helped to nominate other
members of. the ticket. The Tele-
gram repeats the design OF the fran
ers of the fake Special is not only
amusing but also ridiculous. as 1t Is
based on a desire that will not be
realized.
If any Republican nominee has any
design upon the Republican county
ticket in Harrison county, he has not
made 1t known If the county ticket
has any design upon Congressman
Hubbard, it is yet to be made known,
and the Telegram can assure the pub
lie that there will be no such design
on the part OF the county ticket. IN
deed. hundreds of Republicans who
helped nominate the county ticket al
so aided in the nomination OF Mr..
Hubbard and the latter and the
county ticket are their nominees.
Besides. all the county nominees are
advancing the campaign of Mr.. Hub
bard with their own.
The personal matters and dis
agreements referred to have not been
injected into this campaign, except
as the Democrats have vatnly at
tempted to inject them. and all Re
publican leaders are busy Tor not
only the county ticket but the entire
ticket and are Loyalty supporting the
same.
The real situation in the county is
that all Republicans are in the har-
ness for complete Republican success,
no matter what have been their
grievances, and the outlook is that
| their work will be a surprise. when
the votes are counted. that will para
| lyze the Democrats.
Democrats need not assume that
Republicans will be fooled or led
astray by any such transforming as
is evinced in that fake special" sent
out from the fake factory here, and
the Democratic schemers and trick
sters may as we'll resign themselves
to the fact that the Republicans OF
| Harrison county are going to vote Tor
all the Republican nominees, and, IL
the fake special" conveys the nature
| OF the Democratic hope. our Demo
cratic friends may as well give up
the ghost, now as at the end of cleo
| ton day
Mr.. Hubbard is the regular Repub-
Iican nominee for Congress and the
Telegram never in its long and proud
history of forty-seven years failed to
| support the regular nominees OF the
party and will not fail to do so now
The Telegram is a Republican news
| paper, it's owners are Republicans,
| too. and they too are supporting and
will continue to support the Repphii.

the Democrats can get any consola-
itfon from this, they are welcome to it
