The Times has received a letter
from a candidate for a State office,
not even a personal acquaintance,
asking if it will not print for him
gratuitously a two-column article
in the interest of his candidacy.
Now, why should the Times do
this? Why should any paper in
the State do itY What has this
aspiring gentleman ever done for
the Times? What would he ever
do for it, even if elected? 1t 10 do

The Democrat has in times past

they needed the help most and

would be right to remember friends,
but this these officers did not do.
They gave their work to papers

Lovers of the wrestling sport
had an exhilars ting pastime Sat
urday evening last, watching
Chief War Eagle the big Indian,
put down SIX men, one after an
other. These six represented the
flower of the city, as appertains
to masculine strength, and the
Chief had promised every one
that stayed by him 10 minutes a
ten dollar bill. The whole Rum
pus lasted less than 80 minutes
actual wrestling time. First to
90 down on the mat was Charlie
Glenn, who lasted just as seconds.
Oscar Olsen (not our graceful
hardware NAM put up a good
defense, so did Haffner, Halls,
Pete Bergh, Jacobs, and Fat
Weyrauch, the latter holding up
the Chief for a whole long six
minutes. The boys had lots of
fun anyway. and the lunches
they partook Of after the bout
tasted better than the ordinary
meal.
