ity while the democrats and their
heelers seem to be in the lead, and
their organization denounces
socialists as anarchists. A man
who is so ignorant that he don't
know the difference between a
socialist and an anarchist needs
sympathy or a guardian.
The abuse heaped on the social

ABOUT THE LAW
w. c. LANGFoRD's ATTENTION
CALLED TO POINTS

Editor Champion: I have be-
fore me a circular letter signed by
Mr.. w. c. Langford as candidate
for County Clerk.
In this circular he refers to an
advertisement in your paper of
July 10, 1907, of my intention to
obtain tax title to certain lands.
He says an injunction was brought
to restrain the sale and that the
certificates were never endorsed by
the County Clerk and are still on
sale as the property of the State,
but intimates that some of the
Office force were in collision with
myself to do wrong, though there
was no wrong as he has to admit.
/ desire to ask for space to cor
rect such report by saying there is
not a word of truth in it. / have
never associated with any one in
getting tex titles. furnish my
own capital for such deals and l
have never divided with any one.
He intimates that you are run
ming great risk to keep H. E.
Carlton in the Clerks Office.
Mr., Lahgford being a student of
law should post up on the tax law,
though he knows enough to be tax
collector, but when, like myself
and some of his strongest support
ers, he goes to specializing in Tax
land, then he will learn more law,
especially if like myself he goes
through several law suits success
fully.
will say for his information
that the law requires the applicant
for a tax deed to pay all fees and
expense incident to his application,
also pay for the certificates If the
deed is issued. If no deed is is
sued and no certificates cancelled
where does the wrong or illegal
act : .,lprener practice appear?
( 81 sas notice referring to me
there was legal notice given, but
there was no wrong any where to
any one, and while Mr., Langford
attempts to make stake" out of
this it won't do. for he fails to
show any wrong whatever, and
there was none to show.
Very respectfully,
