T|ON A CHEAP
BID FOR VOTES
TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF CAR
TER COUNTY:


TER COUNTY:
I had determined not to be drawn
into a newspaper discussion, but it
seems that my opponent is bent that
way. l suppose it is natural with
him. desire to call your attention
TO only one point, as follows:
Quoting from the Constitution, ar
ticle II, section 8, it says that the
state funds shall be apportioned
among and between all the several
common school districts Of the state
in proportion to the school popula.
ton" There is not such thing as a
separate school district, the separate
schools are built and supported by
the county. Remember that these are
state funds to be apportioned by the
county superintendent according TO
law. The first half of these funds
were apportioned in August, 1913,
the other half in February, 1914
WHY is THIS MENTIONED AT
THIS TINE, WHEN 1T IS A MAT
TER OF PUBLIC RECORD IN
THREE COUNTY OFFICES SINCE
THE ABOVE DATES?

as a teacher; | think too much OF
the school children of the county, to

want to see him have a useful career.
| have made plain statement con-
cerning these funds. ! have wronged
no one. / am following instructions
from the state department Of educa-
tion. just like you would if you held
the office you have given me.
Ny opponent does not mean that |
have mtsappropr ated money by con-
yerting it to my own use, but he does
the unfair thing of insinuating that
have by charging that l have placed
the money in one fund that should
be in another. In my opinion the in
places him on level that
units him to take charge of the well
fare of the children of this county. |
As long as l am your officer l will
appropriate state funds as l am in
structed to do from the state super
Intendent
His charge Is nothing more than
cheap bid for your vote.

The same grit which enabled Field

a friend, stood at his side to assist
him. Mrs. Paulson was the matron
who attended the bride. Owing to
the bridegrooms inability to place the

DANGLING ON THE HOOK

chss. West was in public life be-
fore statehood. He has been the At.
torney General Of this state since the
day il became a state. In this long
period Of public service, no man has
ever charged that he was unfaithful
to his trust given him by the people.
No man has ever charged anything
wrong with his private life.
No man ever says West has been
disIoyaI.
No man ever said he has not
worked early and late.
No man says his private life has
not been an inspiration TO cleanliness
Of living.
The only objection 20 chas. West
that is ever heard Is to express a dis
like for him. A dislike based upon
what2
That is plain enough. Under the
days OF federal control under the re.
pubicans, the corporations in this
country formed the habit Of doing
about as they pleased.
WHEN WEST BECAME AN OF.
FIclAL HE ALSO BECAME A
THORN IN THEIR SIDE.
HE HAS MADE THEM OBEY THE
LAW.
They tried to defeat him at the
polls and failed.
There has been one continuous cam
paign aimed at West to belttle him.
They say he is not lawyer, yet
when the Attorneys General Of the
United States perfected an orsaniza-
tion to fight opposition from the rail-
roads, Chas. West was made PRESl-
DENT OF THAT ORGANIZATION and
was selected to write the brief and
to make the argument before the su.
preme court Of the United States.
AND HE WON HIS CASE.
You are today enjoying the benefit
Of that victory in the TWo-cENT
FARE LAW.
These lawyers from the others
states PICKED WEST AS THE BIG.
oEsT LAWYER IN THE CROWD.
II we measure him as they measured |
him, then we must agree ttrat WEST I
KNOWS LAW.
II we measure him by the result of
that case, then we must admit that
HE is A LAWYER.
We men who are unedueated in the
law have no other standard TO meas
ure him by except by the FRUITS HE
BROUGHT US FROM THE TRIAL
OF HIS CASES.
II you measure West by the stand.
ard Of your enemy he will be little, If
you measure him by what he has ac-
oomplished for this state, HE is BIG
ENOUGH FOR ANY OFFICE IN OK
LAHoMA.
1t is question Of whose half bushel
you have.
The man who belittIes West has
TAKEN THE CORK UNDER AND is |
PLAYING ON THE HOOK OF THE /
TRUSTS who seek to profit out Of the
destruction Of the men who fight for
the common interests.
West has suffered every humiliation
that could be brought to his door be-
cause he has been WITH US IN EV-
ERY FIGHT.

Outlook Good For Strong High
School Debating Team This Year.
The outlook for strong high school
debating team in Alexandria this win
ter is excellent. The prospect now is
that there will be ten or dozen candi-
dates for the team at the tryout which
will take place Friday evening, De-
|, cember 4. This event will be one ct
considerable local interest and will be
held in the assembly room at the high
school, The timber available for the
team is said to be exceptionally good
and the contest at the opening event
is likely to be a close one. The ques-
ton to be debated will be the same
that will be discussed in the district
debates later in the winter. 1t is RE
solved, that the United States should
own and operate all telegraph and
telephone lines"
The first debate scheduled in the
! Seventh district is between the Alex
andria and Willmar high schools at
the latter place on December IS. Su-
perjntendent Yockey has written to

terial on the question to be used in
