from the Sanders organ. so as to b'
certain hat We have the exact word

poor opinion of YOU If you don't.
Here's the concert OF the man
cropping out? right in the beginning.
| What right has Mr. Sanders to ex-
! press IN opinion as to the voters
| judgment? None in the world.
Again
Mr.9 Sanders then paid a touch
lingo tribute to General Leon Jas
Iremski.: saying he was proud Of the
tact that those nearest ana dearest
10 the dead statesman were now his
supporters y.
".Hcrea .he .Ypid,,y or the candi-

''' the legislature. Again:
You will neyes stop paying the
interest ton the state debt )unless
'ou pay off this mortgage. When

Here's pitiful piece of dema-

IAN knows the impossibility Of i'm
lcdiately paying the state debt, even
18th an increased state tax rate: and
verybody knows that J. Y. Sanders.
elected governor Of the state, could
nothing more than provide for a
of the debt when the
roper time arrives. Again:
" In 1888 Governor Nichols put
le state on cash basis, and since
len every legislature has piled up
lrplus which fhe next one spent
Jared Sanders has been a member
every legislature, in one house ur
g other, practically ever since he
tanned his majority in 1891 and he
S never bothered himself about saw
g any Of the surplus and applying
to the state debt. Again:
" Taking up the personal attacks
on himself Mr.. Sanders said his op-
nents had found a great deal Of
lusement In attacking him.
But Mr.. Sanders and his friends
We never disproved or even at
npted to disprove a single one or
attacks made upon his record.
g candidate from St. Mary has a.
rked the prosecuted and clan -
ed rackets for all they're worth
m the moment the campaign was
nched but he has never denied
disproved the charges made
inst him. Not one OF them mind
but he has been content to
ply denounce the 'slanderous y:
npaign.' Again:
Mr.. Sanders then took up his
ltical record which began In 1891.
was then elected to the legisla-
9 on the anti-lottery ticket
1t will be noted that he made no
'rence to the two later occasions. gif
m he was elected to the legisla- ca,
with his name or both the DEM pre
'tic and the Republican tickets a,

touching upon the farmer claim 'oo

:. Jared is too plain a mark. His ..oc
