The Springfield herald., 1914-10-16


Allen, and made it very plain
that test tight for the party's
favor was in the issue
The combine recognized this
fact, and moved heaven and earth
for Aliens defeat; but when
time was called on the slll of
Der, the combine was ov-
er the ropes. and Allen and 5ho
Herald had pos, esion of the ring.
And the tme fight with u
straight-cnt ssue is ON for the
third of N, vember, when tile
combine is again going to move
heaven and earth for Allen's de-
feat, and when for the second
time it is going down before the
onsloughts of the young giant
and the Springfield Herald.
The loud talk that is being pu,
up about the Herald not support
irg the ticket is pretty cheap in
view of the fact that word has
been sent down the line that ev-
cry mothers son of the gang is
to knife the ore candidate ON the
ticket that the mbine couldn't
control.
The Democrat threat of dis
memberinent and banishment
of those who don't get down in
tic dust before the party puri
tiers to beg their pardon for be
ing unclean, is in line with their
tight on Judge A lien, and J :.
.Jert and their shool-ihe-sIouis
methods of politics.
OF the matter of the now ia
nous false affidavit. the charge
of which the Democrat dubs as
false and malicious, nothing fur
ther needs be said than that here
is standing reward of T25 Tor
the affidavits of Dave KonIie' and
Henry Green. If Green ha-
been and is holdirg stock
for David Konhel, then ia" af.
fidavit is false. If he is not, an
affidavit To that effect wolld
mean $500 to help the Ladies'
Aid of Springfield.
The Democrat certainly pre-
sumes on the gullibility Of The
public, to dub the charge of II
false atfi idavit as false and
malicious charge, when neither
the Democrat, nor Dave Konkei,
nor Henry Green, has ever came
out and said that Henry Green is
not and never has been, holding
stock for David KonkeI.
Of the matter of firing" their
hired hand, if the "scintilla" o.
evidence in the Herald sent the
Democrat editor last week isn't
convincive, we can mail him an
other copy Of that issue.
The villifying and slanderous
personal attacks on the ediror
aren't things to be replied to-
They are emanations from the
depths of depravity. tiltrations
through the film Of diseased
moral nature and a distempered
moral vision they thus answer
ing themselves.
1t is the second such attack
that has been made on S Nj.
konkel. The first was the let
ter of Elmo jackson, which is
noticeable here only for the rea-
son that Judge Jackson. as he
afterwards became, here in
Springfield, after we had be-
come somewhat friendly, as
good as told us that David kon-
kel was back of that letter.
AS part owner of the Demo-
crat, and having daily access to
the Office, there is a presumption
of the fact that this second at
tact, and comparison of himself
with the editor, was instigated
by David Konkel, as was the
Jackson letter.
At all events, whether inspir-
ing or not, David Konkel has
found another jacksonville first
one to connect him with the
cIerkship, the second one to add
the plunder of the newspaper
business in Baca county to his
81. 500 county job.
AS stated in regard to the at /
tack of tre first Jack son. in tn
