ment that Mr. Sans rs not an os-
tentatious man"
1t has been written that "a man
may smile and smile and be villain
still"; and while The Bulletin
would not apply this to Mr.. Sans in
its literal sense, it can not but feel
that there are some Incidents in Mr.
Sans career which make the lines
to an extent applicable to him, Incl
dents which the voters ought to know
land consider in connection with his
Icandidacy and which The Star" has,
somehow, failed to mention, Perhaps
THE star can explain satisfactorily
why, in making up evidently with
studious care its list of activities AMI
qualifications which, in its opinion,
commend MI Sans to the voters
perhaps The Star can explain why
it has omitted from this list the most
important public position which MI.
Sans has held that Of deputy sheriff.

That there was in that cas-
