The Index does not want to hear a
Medicine Lodge Republican talk about
the Democrates disf1anchising voters in
the South or anywhere else from this
time on. At the primary election the
election board 1.-TWO Democrats and one
Republican, counted all the votes re-
sardless Of fine technicalihes when the
voters intention was easily determined.
but the contest board two Republicans
and one Democrat threw out II Of
these votes,thus disfranchising twenty-sev-
en- Republicans Of this township. The
lesson to be leaned from this illustration
is to entrust the counting of votes to
genuine Democrats who believe that
every vote cast should be counted if the
intention Of the voter can be determined.

Mr.. Bonnell is plaintiff and w. M. San

MI. Bonnell has sued Mr.. Sanders for
damage on account of defamatory re-
marks alleged to have been made by the
defendant. The case involves courtship
between the plaintiff and the defendant

refused to furnish such testimony. If

erage business, the Index would like to
