The members Of the HeroE.
Patterson combine and their
workers are telling around the
county that Streeter has turned
Democrat. That is absolutely
untrue. While Mr.. Herok' 3
chief workers were seeking to
procure Democratic votes for
him ON the Republican pr.
mary ticket, there was scat.
tering Democratic vote Of IA
for Streeter in the district. !
for Mr.. Ierok, and about $50
for Mr.. Hayes, Of Kidder, the
only regular Democratic nom
inee. Streeter did not ask a
single Democrat to vote for
him, and did nothing whatever
to get on the ticket. and he
will not give Mr.. Herolz the
satisfaction Of doing anything
to get off.
Messrs. futile and Streeter
are running independent be
cause Of the work Of a hypo-
critic and a coward who, while
being a Sabbath-school teacher
and protesting Christian, had
a heart black enough to exploit
the domestic troubles Of a wife
and husband husband who
had never injured him in the
least - that the muckraker
might help himself at the pri-
mary election.
Messrs. Tuttle and Streeter
are Republicans, and if elected
will train with the Republican
organization in the Legislature.
Streeter asked Herolz weeks
ago to appear with him in a
series of joint discussions in
all parts Of the county. This
you did not dare to do, Mr..
HeDlz, preferring to pour
your poison into individual
ears, with no opponent present
to question your misstatements.
You ask Republicans to sup.
port you because thanks
to your disreputable circular
have a place on the Republican
ticket. And yet you are, in a
sneaking, undetermined way,
opposing at least half Of the
county candidates on the Re-
publican ticket.
Particularly are you striving
for the election Of the demo.
cratic candidate for treasurer,
knowing that, should he he
elected, you will still have the
run Of the Office for the pur-
pose Of making it an annex of
your real-estate and banking
business, as you have done for
years, and knowing that If the
Republican candidate wins you
will see the treasurer's office Of
Emmons county run in the in.
terest Of the taxpayers and not
of yourself.
And, in return for your help
in this direction, the democrat
ic candidate for treasurer and
his hackers are all for you, and
doing their utmost to procure
votes for you.
That is the situation, exactly.

county. At the primaries Mr.. Street.
er and Mr. Tuttle were defeated by
Mr.. Herolz and Mr. Storey; but the
methods used by the latter parties
and their supporters to gain the VIC
tory in June stirred up so much dis
satisfaction with republicans who OBJ
ject to the plan Of Anything to vim
that Messrs. Streeter and futile de-
cided to run independent, and are
putting up lively campaign.
In regard to Mr.. Streeter, the voters
Of the Goth district are well aware of
his qualifications, and know that with
him at the capital the district has a
representative OF whom it may we'll be
proud, and one who has made a most
enviable reputation as q legislator
and an orator during his incumbency
Of the Office.
Nj. futile is not so we'll known in
Emmons county and in western Kid
der county: but in the eastern half Of
kidder, where he is well known, he is
highly respected by all, regardless Of
political Affiliations. 1t is note
worthy fact that he carried every
thing In his home and surrounding
precincts by large majority, and he
made many warm friends during his
short visit in Emmons last spring.
In regard to the despicable circular
which was used against him in the
primaries, it was most conspicuous by
its absence in all localities in the dis
trict where he is known.
Mr.. futile resorted to no dirty
tricks to secure the nomination, and
the parties who were instrumental in
propagating the circular in this coun-
ty were most careful to keep it in the
precincts where he had never been.
Any candidate who will attempt to
ride lnto office by the use Of such
scurrjl0as methods - were employed
~ Mr.. heroIx and his assistants last
fall q not deserving Of 4 position
which places him where he will have
Q voice ID making laws for the com.
0onwealtlh.
After election. Mr.. Herolz called the
circular dirty politics until the fact
was brought out that he was the one
who had been instrumental in having
it published, hoping by show of fake
virtuous Indignation to throw the
blame upon others for its appearance.
In his eagerness to secure the nomina-
tton he even went to the length Of
knitting his running mate, John Sto.
rey. In this county, by advising GER
tain voters to "Vote for Streeter and
HerOlz.n =
Mr.. Herolz has not as yet taken ad-
vantage Of Mr.. Streeter's offer to meet
him 10 public debate upon questions
Of interest to the voters, and it is said
that he is still trying to ride both
sides and the middle Of the prohibi-
ton question, his position depending
upon the locality he is in or the par
ties he is talking with. There is q
number OF persons here who would
like to know where he stands upon
several questions; so, why does he not
make school-house campaign and
let the people know once and for all?
II you don't want to 60 out with your
opponent, why don't you go it alone,
making few public speeches and put
ting yourself on record. Mr.. Heroic?
