Oh, hot So l am threatened by {
couple of ladies for saying anything
about those hobble skirts. Excuse mt
ladies, l lowed you wanted to attract
attention, or you wouldn't have worn
such things. l one time asked a lady
what women wore certain kind OF
things for and she said to tempt men.
Did she tell the truth? 1t she did then
| certainly am not out of order in call.
ing attention to the ladies' hats and
hobble skirts that makes them resem-
BILE a young wasp more than anything
else. All the temptation / can see in
a hobble skirt is disgust, and l know
there is nothing ] had rather look at
than a pretty, we'll dressed woman, but
these hobble skirts don't look attract
i've to me, as much as | admire ladies.
Well, today a couple told mt they had
never worn such and never expected to
and | raise my hat to them. l favor
woman's suffrage, but / want her to
remain a woman just the same. l
can't admire peek-a-boo waists, hob
BILE skirts, ankle skirts, and don't rel
ish the criticisms hurled at the wear
ers of such garments. Whatever pos
sesses some women to wear some gar
ments they wear 1 don't know. If a
man was to wear the clothing some
fashionable women wear in public, he
would be arrested and put in the lock
up.
Well, the soci alists have out a full
county ticket. A. J. Brannan for
trustee, and Pete McGovern for Sher-
if. Albert Adams for tax assessor.
They further will give their support
to Jas. Alternately for the school
board, county at large, and Luther
Henderson for the 4th district. They
have selected John Haynes and Thorn
as Ingram for magistrates, who will
undoubtedly be elected. Should MI.
McGovern be elected sheriff, he will
be the first sheriff in years, if ever,
that Grundy county has had that was
a member of the church and a superin-
tendent of a Sunday school. The
socialists have made a fine selection of
men and to all appearances a little
above the average. If the Socialist
candidates are elected Grundy County
will have the cleanest and best set of
officials she ever had. There is no
smut on them or their families, a thing
the democrats can't say of all their
nominees.
Well, the battle is on between the
socialists and democrats with the odds
in favor of the socialists. The attack
of the democrats on the socialists will
cost the democrats the representative
in this hoterial district and ~endangers
the election of their senator for the So
c~ialists in none of tie counties COM
posing this senatorial district will
vote for Walker. A republican OF an
independent democrat has a splendid
chance to win. The republicans are
not fighting the socialists and that is
significant. We aim to stir up things
and be aggressive. The socialists have
nothing to lose, but all to gain. They
come before the people with a clean
ticket and enthusiasm for the same.
The democrats tried to get the social
ist nominee to run for sheriff on their
ticket and also Mr.. Ingram, but they
said no so / guess the Socialists have
made no mistake. Now it's up to the
people to say whether they want a
christian gentleman for sheriff or not,
and the other offices filled with hon
est, moral men, superior to their dem
ocI attic opponents.
