hasn't the time. The ideal boss Is

the money to the multitude. Then,
again, the typical county boss IS sup

Patteson makes reference, for the
editor does not visit the county build

Record, cut little ice. They have no
bearing whatever on the question Is to

Mr.. Patterson says that the Record
complained because he (Mr. Pr was

by sending work out Of the county that
could be done here. Is there anything
wrong 10 asking that the county ON.
GERS obey the law in relation to hav-
Ing county printing that can be done

county?
The fact Of the matter is that the
entire Rocks Herolx-Patterson bunch
are so sore over the result of the re-
cent election that. In the absence OF
everything with which to disprove
what the editor Of the Record has
charged, their Newspaper Organ and
the Field Agent Of the bunch, follow.

Big Boss In his German circular, now

All of which howls Of pain and rage
do not explain Yhy the illegal bridge
building was done or Why the people
of the First District we're not allowed
