BIG SPECTACULAR HOME
TALENT PRODUCTION
Pirates of Penzance Comic Opera
TO be Given at Denton Opera
House Thursday and Friday
Nights, August 81 and %.

No more interesting and de-
lightful entertainment could well
be devised than the forth coming
offering of the famous Pirates of
Penzance by our home talent sing
ers, next week.
Arrangementsare going forward
with much interest and a verv
excellent production is confidently
expected.
There is to a chorus of young
ladies, as English girls, chorus
of wicked Pirates who are to steal
these beautiful and charming girls,
and are about to marry them, but
they are to be rescued by the
brave policemen. The Pirates
are to be pardoned because they
are found to be noblemen, but
gone wrong, and as they have
fallen in love with these beau
tiful girls, they marry them and
live happy ever afterward. Can
you blame them?
The cast Of characters is being
well chosen, enlisting many of our
very best singers. There is to be,
between the acts, some very
choice and delightful numbers by
about go children, boys and girls
and misses, representing the Sun
flowers, Rosebuds, Cowboys and
Indians.
The entertainment is rated in
other cities as beng of a high or
DER and was written by Sir
Arthur Sullivan, the famous En-
glish composer, who has written
SO many charming hymn tunes for
church service, notably Onward
Christian Soldiers" and others.
Mr.. Albert L. Baker has charge
of the general direction of the
production, under the auspices OF
the amusement committee of the
M. E. Church, south.

lme the Office ofSheriff
the HoWling Of the Wolves

by thewanton use of money and
rascality.
And Baby Oscar, the sallow-
faced diciple of Hooper. Lets
see what motive has he to traduce
Flint Ray. Does he not want to &c
to the legislature on a bogus nom,
nation? Would he not like to
detract attention from his many of,
fices and his administrations?
| Would he rather not have the
public talk about Flint Ray than
to talk about his filching contracts
for printingfro his superiors, and
perchance, in the mean time, he
might latch on to another office
or another contract?
Now, seriously, people, the ap-
palling part of this miserable at
tack on Flint Ray is that this bunch
of crooks would have the guts(ex-
cuse the EXPRESSION to jump
on any man for any kind of politi-
cal crookedness, even they knew
it to betrue. You know and they
know that Flint Ray was elected
sheriff fairly and that he will as
sumo the office with as clean
hands as any man who has graced
this office in a life time. The peo-
pie who know Flint Ray best are
his best friends and have the ut
most confidence IN him. The past
election shows that his associations
has drawn to him friends from
his associates, regardless of poll
tics. Flint Ray is an honorable,
upright man. His past life and
present standing proves this. He
was elected sheriff by the people,
public sentiment demanding it.
He was elected withent the cam
paign fund as charged by The
Times. He has in him the max
ing of a good officer. He is de-
serving and an honor to our
citizentry and the good people
held up his hands. Flint Ray
will be sheriff regardless of
the bowling of the wolves.
Citizens, Democrats and Republi-
cans, you have done well. n.

CHARLEY LOWELL
CIRCUIT COURT CLERK
Commissioners Decide That They
Have Only Right to Settle Tie
-Gorrell and Anderson for
Lovell-Hickey tor Price.

Standing by the nominee of the
fraudulent primary Of March IA
the two Republican members Of
the Cooke county election commits
sion on last Monday vo.ed for
Lowell against Charley Price for
Circuit Court Clerk. Lowell was
nominated in March and Price ran
against him as an independent
Republican. AT the regular elect
lion, August 6, each candidate re-
ceiyed 995 votes. The law pro-
vides that the election commissions
ers shall settle the tie. Anderson
did not participate in the general
election and Gorrell made the
statement that he did not vote as
between the candidates for Cir
cult Court Clerk. Being the
Hooper member of the commits
sion, however, it is presumed he
desired to be regular and do all he
could to strengthen the court
house and post office ring. In the
general election Hickey voted for
Price and again voted for him as
election commissioner on Monday.
Gorrell stated that neither Lowell
or Price were qualified to fill the
office, but that Lowell would at
least have sense enough to ap-
point deputy who could fill it.
This is the first time we have ever
heard that Price was not qualified
to fill the office, but of course Mr..
.Gorrell knows, and then besides,
he wants a man in the office who
will not allow it to be used as a
place of meeting for politicians.
Then perhaps Lowell has agreed
to stand by Baby Oscar. in the
November election. Any trade
that would put Baby Oscar in the
legislature SO that he could hold
up the hands of our civic righte-
Gus governor would be legitimate
and then another reason which
will not down is that if Baby Oscar
is in the legislature Cooke county
might come in for another big
bond issue, and SO goes the chain.
There is consolation, however, in
the fact that the people frequently
discover the weak links in chains
and snap them.

A Few Thoughts---Baby Oscar
Parrottsville, Aug. Is.

Parrottsville, Aug. Is.
Editor Plain Talk:
Baby Oscar, in the Times Of
last week begain his assault on
Boyer. We have read it. The
people understand the situation.
When Messrs. Holt and Sexton
paid Susong $4,000 for the
privilege of saying what should
be printed in Plain Talk until
after the November election, and
bought out the Times, they felt
sure they could run Baby Oscar
over the people rough-shod and
keep his record from being un-
covered, Controlling the Times,
which is now edited by the baby,
and with this $4,000 muzzel on
Plain Talk, which they thought .
would stay, they thought they
could easily send the baby to the
legislature. But the people got
wise, the we'll paid for plans failed
and the baby is up against il.
They will show that because(
can control Jobs OF printing
the benifit Of the Times gal
no reason why he can control
voters Of this county. Wat
watch the result Of the NJ
election. AM

HAVE HAD ENOUGH
CUTTERS NIPls POLITICS
c. F. Boyer Believes a Represen-
tative of the People Should
Wear His Own Collar and
be the Tool of No Man.

Ala
On the first "wednesday in No
vember, 1914, there will be elected
ninety-nine representatives and
thity-three senators to transact
the business of the state in the
59th Geneal Assembly. The
people of Cooke county will then
assemble at the various voting
places and choose for themselves
one of the ninety-nine representa-
tives. This member is then in
turn empowered to act as the
agent of all the people in the
county. This is a great response
bility, one, when assumed, that
should be carefully guarded. This
agentor representative should not
60 there as the plant tool of any
one. man to do his bidding at the
sacrifice Of the people, but should
give all the people a fair deal.
If represent the people again
| will endeavor to keep this
part of the agreement, as | did be-
fore. We have had an overdose
ct gutter-snipe politics in the
county and state. We should en-
deavor to shun this kind of poll
tics and instead Of going at the
beck and call of a boss, getdown
to business. This kind Of politics
is costing the down trodden, tax
ridden people of the state millions
Of useless taxes. Creating one
office after another to take care
of politicians is not good business
and should not be tolerated any
longer The poorer class of peo-
pie, as rule, pay for this kind of
business, if you call it business.
Our bonded debt will be to
take care of in the next legislature,

politicians in control Of the state
government you would not have
been called upon to pay. They
will come down from the high
perch that they occupy at election
times and call themselves hill
billies" until the election is over.
Then they will push you aside UNI
til the next election. This class of
politicians are only using you as
an asset to be used at will.
AS to my politics, am not a
stranger and as to the small
slanderer telling you what | am,
you will be the Judge. The tax
collector, when he comes to COLI
lect your taxes to pay for fire
marshalls and other useless jobs,
don't stop to inquire if you are a
Republican of the old or new
school; whether you are Demo-
Gratis, regular or Independent, or
whether you are a Prohibitionist,
or whether you are one that be-
longs to the huxterbund. He has
come for the taxes past due and if
you have nothing but a pungar

Choose we whom you will have to
serve you. Respectfully,
