ON HOME
STRETCH
Many Are Called But Few
Are Chosen" Candidates
This Week

The candidates in the Pri-
mary campaign, especially where
there is more than one candidate
for the same Office, may well be
described as on "the home
stretch. " Being Democratic
paper, the following remarks are
confined to candidates of that po-
litical faith.
On the Township ticket there
is but one candidate for each Of
fee, hence no comment is neces-
sary.
Going on to the County ticket,
the first Office for which there is
a contest, is the Office of Sheriff. j..
]. S. Price, of Meade, and l.. G..
Krisle, of Fowler, are the con-
testants--both good men and all
so good Democrats. Mr.. Price
has already served as sheriff and
was a.dandy; Mr.. Krisle is fully
determined to do his duty if NOM
mated and elected. Either will
be a credit to the party. You
decide the matter on August 4th.
The, next contest centers on
the Office of Register of Deeds
w. H. Dalgarn and d. H. Sloss
are making the race. Mr.. Dal
garn has been tax payer in this
county for more than a quarter
of century. He is a good clear
man and a loyal Democrat, is
well qualified. If nominatediand
elected he will make the kind oi
an official we will all be proud of,
For Probate Judge we haye
J. H. Randolph and M. F. Mar
tin. Mr., Randolph has held the
Office for the past eight years
and his record is above criticism.
Mr.. Martin is an old timer in the
county and is qualified to fill the
position if nominated and elected
Both are good man. Either will
make good official. Let ma jor-
fty rule.
No better man is a candidate
for Congressman on any ticket
than Frank P. Hettinger. He
is clean, honorable man beyond
the influence of the political boss
es and too decent for the politi-
cal machine. Vote for him at
the August Primary and if elect
ed the people of this district will
have a representative in Con-
gress who will in every way be
worthy of their respect and con.
fidence.
For Governor we will all vote
Tor Geo. H. Hodges, and for
Governor there is no
better man in the state than
Frank l.. Britton.
For United States Senator we
have seyen candidates, six, any
one of whom would do the party
honor and one whose name would
disgrace the fair name of Democ-
Grey.
Articles referring to two of
the above six, appear in to-day's

P. Farrelley, two of the best and

Of whom would make a United
States Senator worthy of the
name.

needs be said. About a year ago
the management of this paper
discovered that this man was un-

people, and on July "a of last year

wholly devoid of political priuci-
pie, too little for his job, etc.
These charges were substanciat-
ed and have never been denied,
not even by Neeley. That was
the first criticism made against
Neeley. Since that time news
papers over the state, both Demo.
crat and Republican, have arriv-
ed at the same conclusion and
they have charged him with as
much, and perhaps more than
The Meade County News charg-
ed a year ago---and the charges
havn't been denied. Whyl Be-
cause they are true.
Next Tuesday the Democrats
of this state will select candi-
date from out of this number
who will finish the race. Wheth-
we win or lose depends upon this
selection. If either Farrelley or
Brown, we win, if Neeley we
go down to ignominious defeat.
There isn't voter in Meade
county who isn't aware of Nee
ley's unfitness for the place he
seeks to fill. What has he done
as your representative in Con-
gress? He has betra yed the
trust you placed IN him, he has

more than his own campaign lit

more than weather vane, sway

wind blows strongest. Do you
want to run the rist of six years
of such representation? Any
honest-thinking, fair,minded vot-
er will answer, mo" Then
vote for a man we can elect, a
man who will add dignity to the
position, a man who is not mort
gagged to the politicians, who will
not use his political patronage to
build up political machine, a
man at whom the finger of shame
can never be pointed, and upon
whose political honor the stamp
Of treachery and ingratitnde eau

When the misery old woman heard

Mr.. Taft earlier in the day and then
said that Mr.. Taft had refused his Of

that he intended to take the first
train for Chicago. Instead, he re-
manned here and conversed with
some Of the members Of the syndicate
over the long distance telephone. He
said that he offered Mr.. Taft $75O,0OO

Taft guarantee that Infielder Sweeney

Mr.. Taft said that these conditions
were impossible and that he would
not sell, although the price offered
was satisfactory. Thereupon the
conference broke up with the under

no option on the stock if the syndi-

added. "Our telegram sent to him
Tuesday morning said: would you
consider q proposition to manage the
non-Sunday playing Brooklyn Federal

However. we are willing to pay

PROGRESSIVES GATHER
TO HEAR SPEAKERS
IN RANDOLPH SQUARE

Nearly 200 gathered Tuesday evening
in the square in Randolph to listen to
Rev. L. H. Clarke. candidate for sher-
if of the Progressive party. and Gen
eral J. H. Mcdowell of Tennessee
speak upon the issues of the campaign.
Mr. Clarke was the first speaker and
confined himself to local issues ex-
clusively. He stated in language not to
be mistaken, the position which he
took. He stated that he had been taken
to task by some of the officials of the
country for a statement that he had
made in a previous rally. This was
that there are open rum shops in Ken
lebec county and that statement he
reiterated last night. He said that if
he was elected sheriff he would place
his resignation in the hands of a COM
mittee Of Ave. two of his choosing
and the other three to be chosen by
those two, and If at any time they
should say that he had not performed
the duties Of the Office they might
place his resignation in the hands OF
the Governor.
General Mcdowell followed and
spoke on national issues. He said that
he was formerly yellow dog DEM
ocrat. meaning a party man, whoever
might be the candidate Of that party,
but that in company with $4,000 other
Democrats and Republicans of his
state he had gone over to the Progress
sive standard.
Both speakers were interrupted once
or twice but brought quick discom-
future to their interrupters.
