MOOFING
Of THE PIE
HOW SHORT sTOMAcHED
GANG rs MILLING FOR UN-
TOWARD PROvENDER

Charley Bright. who has been abb
sent from the city since few days
after the primary, has returned to
look after his political interests. 1t
has been always understood with the
Republican candidates that Charley
had been the Jonah of the other gang
and for that reason he was to be given
the choice of the places after election.
Charley's first impulse was to select
the position as jailer alter Mitchell
was elected This irritated the well
known character, Tom Beatty, who in
sisted that he was entitled to that
place because Of the excellent service
he mad rendered to the police depart
ment under Chief Mitchell during his
administration in the enforce ement OF
the law, and that there appeared an
attempt to keep MIN in the dark and
only use him in furthering themselves
and not let the public know that he
was really factor.
Charley Bright is somewhat angry
because there seems to be an attempt
TO make him accept the assistant
county attorneyship under Adams to
make a place at the county jail for
Beatty. Bright might have consented
Ii Oberholzer had not assured him
that he would use his influence and
give his endorsement, and when re-
elected he would compel Adams TO
make Bright's appointment as assist.
ant county attorney. Charley remem-
bers very we'll what Oberholzer gave
him last summer when he was Civ
ing his support to Capers for Com
missioner of the Second district
against Oberholzer's man Friday
(Favors), who with Oberholzer gerry
wandered the First and Second com
missioners' districts in order to gain
votes for Oberholzer in the First and
lose votes for Capers in the Second
and insure the reelection of Oberholz-
er and Favors, and they left the Third
district as it was in order to defeat
the election of q Republican in the
Third; then Oberholzer, with Favors
on the board, Williams, Maxey and
company would be again placed on
the pension roll of the county. Fright
is tickeled at the Oberholzer sugges-
lion and insists that his relation with
Adams is such that he can land the
deputyship under Adams without an
endorsement from Oberholzer.
Capers is secretary of the county
committee. lie Is silent and is not
having much to say but he knows he
and his friends have got the double
cross, and he remembers that not
withstanding the gerrymanderlng OF
the district, crookedness and double
crossing, he was only defeated by two
votes with all of the combined efforts
Saddler, who sold the four hundred
dollar lots for a colored high school
when, In fact, the lots were not worth
more than fifty dollars each, was sent
out to stump the Second district for
Favors and against Capers, doubtless
has been rewarded by Oberholzer and
Favors for his work against Capers
and in the interest of their combine.
Do you think that Capers' friends are
going to support Oberholzer after all
of this duplicity, because he is max
ing promises? Even If few Of them
do, it seems to us that the taxpayers
have had enough of this and will re-
pudiate 1t at the polls.
Oberholzer told prominent Repub-
iican that he wanted Fayors, the me-
gro. nominated and elected at all
hazards.
