ducks back, and despite the fact his newspaper is
being we'll paid for everything it says in the interest of
Judge Burkes candidacy for the United States senate
yet it periodically goes wandering off after Miles Pon
dexter the Washington Populist of 1910. Recently
the Times has been doing considerable flirting with
Pondexer and if the editor thereof opportun-
ity or what he thinks is opportunity to land Pon-
dexter in the United States senate if in the meantime
Pondexter will promise to allow him to dictate his SEN
atoral appointment, two to one he will be IN the Pon-
dexter camp before the next primary election is pulled
off The editor of the Times politically speaking, is
one of the most notorious turn coats that hit the
West and he is so confoundedy egotstic and anxious
to be known as one of the big of the community
and state that he will stoop to do anything politically,
in which he can see ray of hope to accomplish his
ambitions
In the past the Times has conducted rather pc
culiar campaign against those it has opposed and
peculiar that it has never been able to make much
Roadway in the political 1t always started in
by printing contorted facts about it's opponent then it
drifted into lying about him and from that it would be-
gin to publish nasty cartoons of the In last Sun
DAVIS issue rather tough looking cartoon appeared in
the Times as ridcue of Senator Wilson and it was
the concensus of opinion of great majority of those
who saw it that the editor of the Times had reached
the desperation stage of opposition to Wilson and that
John L. Wilson showed strong signs of winning the
fight The Times has done this self thing in
win but once and even then it had to call other
forces to assist it,
The candidacy of every one espoused by the Star
has been DONE subject to such candidate subscribing
to the doctrines of nsurgery and it is therefore safe
to presume that Bill Hanna had taken the oath of al
lepance to Poindextersm and the Star is therefore
supporting him for county treasurer. 1t you think
this is an idle dream figure it out for yourself The
Star is supporting Hodge for sheriff and Hodge is for
Poindexter that when he does not happen to be in
a Burke community. He is absolutely and unqualif-
edlv against Standpat Republicanism It is support
ing Bill Hanna for county treasurer and he, too must
he for Poindexter 1t is for Otto A. Case and Case
like Hodge is playing Poindexter in one place and
Burke in another 1t is supporting Frank Griffith for
prosecuting attorney and Frank is galvanized Demo-
GRAFT that is an out and out Pondexter It is for
Davik Mckenzie despite his John Ripirger jury rec
ord because Mckenzie is for Poindexter or Burke,
which ever one suits the better to be for 1t is sup
porting only men for legislature that favor Pondexter
notifies all of which makes it plain to be seen that it's
entire roster of candidates for county offices has taken
oath against the Sandpat side of the Republican party
and would as soon go off tangent, like unto the
one in 1885, as not. Bill Hanna is right up in the
bunch and should be turned down with dull sicken-
ing thud.
Since M j. Carrigan has been county commissioner
YOU may not have approved of many of his official acts
hut there is one thing certain he has done one
thing in his official capacity that not in the inter
est of the taxpayers and the who has filed against
him cannot say that he has been equally careful of the
countvs best interest in the small official capacity in
which he has been called to fulfill. Carrigan is on
the square and in the open and the other say
as much?
For the past few weeks things have been coming
Claude c. Ramseys way and the odds at this writing
are quite in his favor. The leading men in the dis
trct are bestiring themselves in the interest of Mr.
RAMSEY and it looks very much like he will beat his
opponent by a large plurality. Mr.. Ramsey is not
mixing in the representatives fight, and that too is
bringing him great deal of silent strength.
Notwithstanding the fact that there are three 9TH
err candidates for the two nominations for representa-
tives from the forty district D. R. Himelhoch
is making much Roadway in his candidacy and he and
