few appointments made by Mr.. Huh

should have done so: Because Mr..
Hubbard is one OF them in politics.
He has taught the doctrines OF repu-
dating the party organization and.
the party nominees wherever they did

his commands. The IntellIgencer

self concerning the matters about
which 1t publishes so much.
The same crowd that represents Mr..
Hubbard in this county, and in the
lower end of the First congressional
district, are also opposed to Senator
Scott, and seeking to defeat his re-
election to the United States senate.
The Republican organization IN Har-
rlson county is favorable to Senator
SCOTS return to the senate, owing TO
his long and distinguished services
and his fidelity to the party, and TO
the interest of his state.
Mr., Hubbard is opposed to Senator
Scott, and has repeatedly said that he
considered an election to the lower
house of congress but as a stepping
stone to the United States senate.
Much .of his bitterness toward the
Republican party in Harrison county
is occasloned by the fact that he
could not use that party to further
his ambition to supplant Senator
Scott, while pretending to be a friend
OF the senator. MI. Hubbard has at
tempted to build up an organization
in this district that will always be
subservient to his commands, n ON
which he can rely to place him In
Senator SCOTS position in the senate.
He selected candidates for state sem
ator in the senatorial districts in this
part OF the state. and is now attempt-
ing to haye them elected to serve him
and to further his ambition in this di
rection. He is running j. Ed Law In
Harrison county as his candidate for
state senate, and is running him on a
prohibition platform. despite his well
known record on the whiskey ques-
ton. He is running George NJ. ia
cobs In Marion county for the same
purpose, and he has quietly put in
the field throughout all the northern
part of the state men as candidates
for the state senate who can be relied
upon to attempt to displace Senator
Scott with the congressman from the
First district in the senate. He could
not get the Republican organization
of Harrison county to go into this
deal with him. And their "treach-
cry" which is so much enlarged upon
In the Intelligencer, was not Of the
kind that vas useful to Mr.. Hubbard.
He was informed openly that he could
not win the support OF the Harrison
county Republican, against Mr.. Scott
in that undetermined manner and that
in an open fight for the position, he
could well count on our opposition. II
the Intelligencer cares to know the
real reason why the Republican party
Of Harrison county is against Mr..
Hubbard. 1t has not very far to seek.
1t a get all the information from
this article, needed IN that particular
head. 1t is against him because he
is not a regular Republican; because
he don't support the party ticket ex-
cent when he Is ON IL or controIq n.
and because he seeks, in an under
handed manner. to displace Senator
Scott from his seat in the senate, and
the Republican party Of Harrison
county stands for the distinguished
senator, and is moi ready to turn him
down for Mr.. Hubbard.
