THE FUTILE CIRCULAR.

THE FUTILE CIRCULAR.
As people come to consider the mat
ter, the dirty work done by those who
are responsible for the futile circular,
SO widely circulated few days before
the election when IL was too late TO
reply meets nothing but condemna-
tlon. The feeling grows strong that
such rotten politics ought u Ike given
its death-b blow next fall at the polls
AS one old-time republican said, after
election, "A man who would cause
such miserable and malicious letter
to be published. without time in which
to reply, would set fire 70 your barn in
the dead Of night.
The object sought To be accomplished
in issuing the circular is manifest.
Mr.. Hcrolz knew that II he could get
a letter from the angelic" even
tempered creature who bad made Mr..
Tuttle's life burden, it would 10 a
certain degree discredit both futile
and Strceter, as there would be no is
sue 81 the Record in which it could be
replied u before election. Then, too,
it would give MIR. IIerolz's workers
throughout the county an opportunity
u say: 'sDon't vote for futile vote
for Streeier ard Hero'z." 1t worked
well. In Linton, where both candi-
dates reside, the former bad nine ma
jori'y, and, as about score Of tickets
bore both names most 81 them driven
from futile by the circular-it is cas-
| lily seen that, in the absence 81 the
circular there would have been a
worse showing for the Muckraker can
didaic in this precinct.
/ MosL people have believed that no
one but Patterson would stODp TO such
Aork as the procurement and publica-
! ton of the letter. But the editor OF
the Record has positive information
Information that Mr.. Iierolz will not
deny that Mr.. Hcrolz wrote tn Mrs.
futile asking her TO furnish the letter
for publication g. a. HerOlz, the
nice. clean Christian gentleman, Is Me
nun Nhotha fhc rink. Patterson was
simply his tool IN publishing IT,
What the people VI Dawson, Col.
Tuttlc's home precinct, think Of the
woman WHO, blim full Of malice and
hatred, helped out Mcssrs. IlcrOlz and
Storey by ler scurrilous Screcd, Is
shown by the fact that Col. futile
carried that precinct aud those near
II by large majorities. And the people
there have known Mr.. futile for
twenty years, and know Of his do
nestle troubles and the causes thereof.
l;os, Rocks, of the Rocks Fat tcrsOn-
Ilcrolz combine, chairman ~ the
democratic central committee OF En-
mons county, was strongly In evil
dcncc during the campaign. lie Is
now promising that he and his ire
publican side partners, Hcrolz and
Patterson, will defeat certain rcpub-
lican candidates AZ the election next
| fall.
1 is the old Joe Horton plan; but,
with full vote In the republican pre-.
cinc,s NJ the general election, IL will
be Impossible To do so. Rocks work
In the recent campaign has uncovered
his scheme, aud he will find that his
motives are pretty we'll understood.
Again is lac raising false hopes with
the few whom lie has allowed to get
on the democratic county ticket.
During bis recent canvass for NJ essrs.
Heroic and Pitts in Logan and Tell
precincts near Naram0fe's home lie
told the voters That, " they would
vote FIR Pitts and IleroIx he would
work the Englisi,-spcaking democrats
To vote for Naram0re next fall. Now,
Rocks will 20 into the republican
precincts and tell them "tn vote for
the best MAN. such hest man, OF
course, being Rocks. Wherever fleceS-
sary lie will knife his democratic
fcllow-candidatcs In his o An interest.
Just ms he knitted the democratic
candidate for tue legislature Ia 1902
In the interest Of Patterson. II Is
time that the republican majority
OF Etnmons county gave this polite Il
commence man Ills quiclui.
