KRusE FAILS TO EXPLAIN

Mr.. j. j. Kruse candidate for election
as Clerk spent few days in Elbeit last
week explaining to the voters why he
is entitled to their votes on November
9th. Mr.. Kruse makes a very earnest
Bplea but we believe he overloolks ex--
planning why he allowed the Cement
bridge contract, about which there has
been so much scandal to go through bis
oiiice without a protest from him, and
without even making it known to the
taxpayers just what had been done, nor
did he touch on why he drew certain
warrents in payment thereof and affix-
ed his signature thereto.
Mr.. Kruse should explain to the tax
payers why he did not take a stand
against recognizing these warrants and
make an effort to save the county few
Thousand dollars or course this was
not incumbent upon Mr.. Kruse to do
SO, but every official who serves the
people should be ever on the lookout
for jus. such proceedings as the letting
of this cement bridge contract, and it
seems to us that every honest officia
is morally bound to take stand against
such things and endeavor to protect
the tax payers and not sit idly by and
do nothing to stop them.
We believe Mr.. Kruse also failed to
explain why he was so o'anxious to have
"A Court House debt saddled on the tax
payers without allowing them vote on

That is an insult to the intelligence to
the formers and merchants of the coun-
ty-according to this position the farm
ers and merchants of this county have
not CROUCH intelligence to select their
Judges. Such selection should be left
to a crowd of political lawyers who
would elevate a man to the bench that
they might control him. / firmly be-
iieve that the citizens should select
