The Courier's Pipe Dream


The Courier's article accuses
Lennon Of having framed up a
ticket of eight names, of which
six are borne by Lennon people.
and one by present office hold
er who originally hailed from
Lennon. The inference is un-
controvertible that either it's edi-
, tor has imbibed too deeply of
"forty-rod," or is anxious to force
issues of another nature. Ad-
mitting. for the sake Of argument
only, that Lennon were desirous
of gathering in all the jobs for
their favored citizens, the good
business sense of the community,
long tried and found true, must
forestall any such desire. Lem
mon proposes to retain it's stand
ing as a business community Of
worth, and knows only too well
that any effort to gain a majority
OF the political jobs for it's people
would be resented by the rest of
the country to the detriment of
its commercial welfare. Bro. Ell
liott, common business tact alone
would give your erratic effusion
the lie. The fact is, the entire
country with the exception of a
small circle of bigotry around BIZ
son laughs at the ridiculous tir-
ade ushered in by the Courier.
That article is already serving as
a boomerang upon the head Of
the Bison interests, as it shows
itself to be nothing else than an
endeavor to prejudice the sound
sense of Perkins county against
Lennon. However, such things
may be and are expected from
the Bison paper. and he must be
dense indeed who cannot read
! the real intent Of the lampoon be-
tween it's lines.
| Ere long the Courier will find
that the average citizen of Per
kins county will not be misled by
such rot" What the Courier
wants is the county seat for Bi-
son. 1t knows that the eyes of
the voters of Perkins county are
open, and that all fair minded
people have confidence in Lem
mon. that the rank and file Of the
voters know Lennon to be fair
and friendly to every interest
that affects the county and its
people, and that the only way to
blur clear vision of the truth,
is to try to throw the dust of
manufactured charges into their
eyes. Thus it is that the idea is
sprung, charging Lennon with
selfish intents, with a desire tc
capture the county Offices Now
the fact is, Lennon knows what
it wants. 1t wants to hold the
good will of the people of Perkins
county. 1t will not jeopardize
this boon in order to boost half q
dozen good fellows into county
job. No more ridiculous position
can be taken than to think thai
Lennon would sacrifice it's gooo
standing with the county, to.
gether with some of its best citi
zens. We claim that the people
within Lennon, representative
of the city, are good enough fol
US to want them to remain here :
and surely too good to send tt
