One of the important things at this
stage of the game in the political con-
test within the county among the
Democrats is to keep sweet. This,
however, we would apply to candi-
dates, and not only before the pri-
mary, but after. Time has been when
a man simply because he was defeat
ed in the primary, gave his support
to the other side. 1t is high lime
that the Democrats Of St. Francois
county were keeping their eyes open,
and noting just such men. A man
who from this time forward after
having been defeated turns his up
port to an opposing party should new
er in the future be considered for an
office. Fact of the matter he is I'M
worthy from a party standpoint of
being elevated to any position within
the gift Of the party.
The Times does not for one moment
question the loyalty of any one Of the
men who to-day are seeking a nomi-
nation at the hands of the Democrats
of the county; and it is the hope of
the Times that every man to man
will lay off his coat and roll up his
sleeves when the primary has been
held and the successful men announc-
ed, and work like a Trojan in order
to help the party win within the coun-
ty. This is not the only time there
will be a vacancy in any of the coun-
ty Offices: thus if n man is not for
tunate enough at this time to receive
the nomination of the party there is
in all probability chance for him in
the future; the time may come when
he can win, and the fact that he has
been loyal to the party will certainly
be in his favor. Let not that man
think that he can never get county

And as a further item of interest,
the Times would like for the News to

no doubt is just as conversant with
this matter as with the actions Of the

that he is also n man that would not

THAT "TIRADE OF
RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION"

In the language Of common par
lance the Pennington News seems TO
have its wires crossed Last week
under the heading given above in an
article it undertakes to get on both
sides Of the question in hand, swaps
and straddles until the situation to
the thinking, intelligent reader be
comes ridiculous. A few excerpts
from the article will easily reveal the
situation. Note them, They relate
to the proposition that Democratic
| politicians have raised fund for the
purpose Of helping bring out pro-
gressive ticket.
The News says; "Thc News has
made no such charge" But read on,
will you? What is this but the very
charge itself? We do not believe
that any Of the men who have filed on
the Progressive ticket have received
any of the funds. We do not believe
that all the Democratic candidates
are in ON the scheme" at might be
interesting for Republicans to know
what Democratic candidates are most
active in tho matter"
Is It not true that our esteemed
contemporary while saying that the
"News has made no such charge,
etc." goes right ahead and makes
the very charge which it denies max
ing. No, the charge is not made
frankly and openly, but is rather
couched in the language Of insinua-
tion and innuendo-a method calcu-
lated to do more hurt--the kind Of
policy used to besmirch regulations,
arouse discord, and inflame the mind,
without the incrim>nation of the au-
thor 1t would not have BEEN sD
shrewdly done to have come out and
said just what was meant, but would
have been higher grade politics.
In view of these facts a few ques-
tions here are not out of the way.
Will the Pennington News please
name the Democratic candidates that
have contributed to fund for the
purpose of helping bring out a Pro-
gressive ticket in St. Fransois county?
What Progressive has received the
money, please? Surely if money has
been raised to contribute to the fund,
ETC., some Progressive has received
the money; for the insinuation is that
the Democrats have paid funds to
some Progressive. The people want
to know just who these men are.
Don't forget to name them.
Yes, and more, there is n Demo-
cratic candidate that made the offer
to pay $4,000 in cash to Standpat
Republican if he could produce the
man to whom even one dollar had
been paid to help bring out the Pro-
gressive ticket. But Mr.. Standpat-
ter at that time had business else
where. The Times is not authority.
for this particular candidate, but
presumes that the proposition is still
open. 1t may be further stated that
the matter Of giving financial en-
enlargement to the launching of a
Progressive ticket has never been con-
sidered to the knowledge Of the Times.
In this our esteemed contemporary
is absolutely and certainly mistaken.
But since the News is on the "in-
side" and knows that the Democrats
have raised fund for the purpose Of

PAPERS
 ISSUED FOR CARSON
Man Who Struck Chandler Man With Hammer Must Return Whether
 He Wants to or Not

Acquisition papers were issued yes terday by Governor Hunt for the re- turn of George Carson, now held by the Los Angeles police on advices from the sheriff's office here, where he is wanted on a charge of assault with deadly weapon.
 Carson, who was employed by a man named Welch on a ranch near Chand- Ter. struck his employer on the head with hammer. causing serious injur- ies. The assault created considerable indignation, by reason of the fact that Welch is man of sixty five. and slight, while Carson weighs 220 lbs. or twice as much as his victim.
 When arrested by the Los Angeles officials. Carson agreed to come to Phoenix without a requisition, but changed his mind when an officer ap- peared to conduct him to the city, The necessary papers have now been made out and forwarded and his return is only matter of time.
