SOME COURT HOUSE MEN
NOW STRONG FOR P0|NDEXTER

At the courthouse today is was
announced that now, since the pri-
maries are over, some of the repub-
lican county candidates have all at
once developed into strong Poin-
dextxer men and want the militant
insurgent candidate for United
States senator to get on the stump
and save the ticket from the defeat
that is threatening some Of the
nominees.
Before the primaries these men,
who represent the old courthouse
gang, did everything in their power
to knife Poindextxer and help first
John l.. Wilson and then Judge
Burke. Now that they have the
nomination and trouble looms ahead
in November they want to press
Judge Poindexter into the harness
to save them from the wrath of the
people.
No note of assurance has yet
come from the Poindexter head.
