cases he could have gone many
miles across the state after defend
ants and made the taxpayers pay
large amounts of money. These
trips he has not made. His op-
ponentS may claim he has not
made good. If eyer a Sheriff of
Seward County has made good , it
has been Homer Edison. No man
can say that Homer Edison has
ever sided in with the boot-leggers
and gamblers, He has stood out
as strong against this class of peo-
pie as any Sheriff ever has. The
County Attorney has tried to en-
force the law as saving to the tax
payers as possible, and Homer
Edison has worked along with him
with the same idea in view, namely
to save the Taxpayers all he could
and yet enforce the law.
Being somewhat interested in
this matter, and thinking a good
many more voters might be, !
take this means of answering you
and getting it before the public.
You will notice the first assertion
is that Mr.. Edison has saved th,
tax payers money. | want to asl
you. Mr.. Chairman, if you think
ne was trying to save the taxi
ers money when he was trying t.
o collect bills off the County

Commissioners, protesting and
preventing the payment of then
IN the grounds that tibet Sheriff
vas not entitled to the money
Your next statement is that il
many cases, he could have gone a.
cross the state many miles after
defendants, but had not done so;
low, and my friends, drew thu
conclusion from that statemen,
that he had warrents for these de.
fndants but did not care to serv,
hem. | would like to ask YOU
Mr.. Chairman, if you think al
,fficer is upholding the law AM
oath of office, when he refuses o.
negiects to appsehend defendants
for whom he holds warrants.
In view of this statment, your
very next statment in this remark
able letter, to my deluded mino
seems very inconsistent, which is.
that Mr.. Edison has made GOOD
As sheriff. | also might infer from
that statment that while Mr.. Ed
son made good as sheriff. hac
not; but my dear Mr.. Chairman,
| wish to call your attention t.
the facts, that during the -four
years | was in office, no County
Attorney ever had to appear be
fore the County Commissioners t.
protest the payment of aHy of my
bills as sheriff and no county at
torney or other person has ever
mad occasion to commence amerce
ment proceedings against me fol
failing to collect money belonging

or any other fund as the cOur
records do show has been don't
against Mr.. Edison. The record,
will disclose the fact that Mr..
Edison has in less than two years
drawn considerable more money
from the county treasury than !
drew IN four years. Whether OF

attention to the notorious fact that
while Scott Turner was serving
time in the county Jail for violat-
ing the prohibitory law and also
convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for violating the
gambling laws of this state, that
it was q daily occurrence to see him
on the streets with Mr.. Edison in
bis automobile, also frequently
took him out over the county
when performing his official dut-
les. AS to whether or not there
is any friendly feeling between
Mr.. Edison and this class of PEG
pie, In view of these facts, you
may draw your own conclusion.
Your last statement is that Mr..
Edison has worked in harmony
with the county attorney. | wish
to challenge that assertion for the
reason that the county attorney
has frequently stated to a number
of the citizens in this county in
substance that Mr.. Edison was in
competent and unsatisfactory a,

At a meeting of the w. 0. W. lodge
No. 11S, held Friday night, steps we're
taken that will, no doubt, result in
the lodge here becoming owner of

wise ways and means Of securing a

lodge. The plan is to have subscrip-
tions made towards raising $4,000 for
this purpose, and II a sufficient
amount is subscribed, an incorpora-
ton will be effected and the work Of
building will begin. A subscription
list was prepared and at the meeting
last night some liberal subscriptions
were made It is believed that there
will be no difficulty in getting the
necessary money as the entire mem
bership Of the lodge is determined to
have a building OF their own.

the abutting property one-third. He
favored ten-year payment plan. Geo.

advocated uniting all the Commercial

see the way business men get together,
