LET US PROTEST"

At last we have by accident
done something TO bring out at
least a suggestion a sign of life
from the editor of the ElkO lnde-
pendent. He proposes a meeting
of the county democracy and a
contesting delegation to FallOn.
We are heartily in favor of the
meeting and if he a get eighteen
democrats TO meet and agree to
attend the state convention we
assure the gentlemen there will be
no contest.
We desire to apologize fer
having placed the name of Mr..
Booher on the ticket but while we
know he never did anything for
his party except for paw yet we
thought he was a democrat and
might enjoy boosting a good
Missourian for the presidency.
Really Bro. Booher you ouchts,to
take something for what ails you
and if you cone to life we'll all
rejoice. The commonwealth.
While we do not intend to
engage in a war Of words with the
editor of the Commonwealth, we
cannot let the slurs in the above
pass unnoticed. While MIR. Gray
deals in false statements concerning
the writer. he cannot object TO a
little history that is not new TO
him. SO far as our democracy and
our efforts in the party's behalf
in times past are concerned they
are known to the party in the
county and state and anything
that Mr.. Gray may say or do will
not add or take from our past
records. We made it and stand hy
every bit Of it. Further, We will
merely say that while one a. 3.
Gray. according 10 Judge Be-
Lindsay, was doing the dirty work
of the Denver gang and receiving
pay for it we we're giving time,
money and space to the cause Of
democracy. We were here then
and we are here now.
Now let it re plainly understood
by MIR. Gray and his associates. if
he has any, that any attempt TO
fasteu the tactics of the corrupt
Denver gang upon the democratic
party o. this county will meet our
opposition, no matter what abuse
Mr.. Gray may heap upon Us.
So far as the challenge TO get
eighteen democrats who will go to
the Fallon convention is concercd,
we will say that if the democrats
of the county had been give an
opportunity they might have found
men to represent them. Anyway.
10y what authority did A. B. Gray
select eighteen men to represent
the county democracy at Fallon.
