HEIPNGOUT THE

Marshall and Gronnlna are said to

some Of the state newspapers says

when you read the list of names

get the manner in which the pos
SCISSORS of the names got before the

which placed them in nominating

There were twenty-one OF them in
the elimination bunch. The Hazel

body was invited. That statement
is utterly without any foundation
in fact. Some counties had sever
al persons present; other counties
had none, They were there pri-
marily in the interest of Grouna
and Marshall, and mighty good
care was taken that no one-even
were he a good insurgent-was
asked to attend if he were not very
friendly to S and S. The fact is
indisputable that the entire elimi-
nation ticket was chosen with a
view 20 strengthening the two
worthless who suddenly insurged
because the regular republican or
ganization wouldn't turn down alb
Ter men and make them United
States senators. What voice did
Emmons county have in choosing
the freeze-out ticket? None what
ever. Does anyone know the name
of the Emmons county man OF men
who we're present and helped to
form the ticket? Does anyone even
know whether there a an En-
mons county mar there? Now this
is the bunch that comes before the
repHhlicans of this state asking for
their support. Contrary to the very
spirit of the primary law, under
which each aspirant is supposed
to stand for office on his indiyid-
ual ability and record. these men

In exceptional seasons. with a favora-
