up.
The editor holds a big majori-
ty of those delegates guiltless of
having wilfully done a cruelty
and irreparably wrong thing.
AS stated, some of them didn't
understand the nature of the
voting. AS an Illustration, one
of the delegates came to the ed
itor and wanted his help in get
ing him on the ticket, and it
was the EDITORS vote that gave
him the necessary five votes to
get on the ticket-and that man
stood up and voted against the
Herald.
But the most of the delegates
voted against the Herald because
those interested in getting the
revenge and in getting the
spoils, convinced them that the
interests of the party required
it-and they consequently voted
as they did, scrupulously and
conscienciously.
The democrats Of the county
have half a dozen selfesb. grasp
ing, mercenary, so-called demo-
Gratis to thank for having sprung
this issue on the party right at
the threshold of a campaign.
In the matter of making the
Democrat the official" paper
of the party, it strikes us force
bly, that with three county Off
cials in it's ownership, it was al
ready the "0FFIciALs PAPER"
without ony furthur action in
regard to the matter.
In closing we will say this:
If the three officials, some or
any of them, have been placed
in wrong attitude, they now
have an organ of their own
through which they can put them.

the larty that gave them their

believe that the democrats OF the
county will stand for it when
once they understand the exact
facts in the case.
The Herald believes in stand

other means or schemes, and do
not believe that by so doing they
are in the line of their several
duties, either to their party or
to the county.
AS stated, the Herald is going
to support every man and wom-
an on the ticket; but we believe
that the three democratic county
officials mentioned, owe it to the
Springfield Herald to right the
great wrong they have done it,
first in the organization of the
B ,co County Democrat combine,
and End in using the machinery
of the party to crush the Herald
and it's editor; and we also be.

Reading the Herald
Out Of the Party.

for another Endorsement of their
now much indorsed and famous
Officials" paper of the party.
Now comes the eliminating
gall of this Democrat combine
outft-in going before the COM
mittee on resolutions, on which
were two of the editors person
al friends (who were asking for
office), and by means that God
Almighty and they only know, in
duced them to report a resolution
of JUST ONE MORE INDORsMENT
of their now dearly beloved,
pure and unadulterated "offi-
cials" sheet.
Being reported. this resolution
of Endorsement and decapitation
was run through the assembly
oyer the protest Of the Herald ed
itor, and just one more time
the Democrat was made the "offi
cials" paper of the democrats of
Baca county.
These several Endorsements,
taken in connection with the
other several Endorsements of
the Officials editor one of
which credited him with once
writing a letter that was Of
great service to some feller down
at Wichita-all these punched
together make what is un-
doubtedly the most frenzied, TO-
rensic, momentous, violent case
of an editor by Endorsement"
and a newspaper "BY ENDORSE
MHNr" that has been handed
down to this generation, either by
histosy orlbv legend.
Democrats Of Baca county,
this is the kind of unsullied, in
spirel, and exalted politics that
is being played on you by thi
forward-looking and far sesing
coterie, in the interest of pure
and unadulterated democracy
and the profits thereunto apper-
tanning. y.
For the springlng this issue at
the very threshold of a campaign,
you know just where to place the
responsibility and who to thank.
These parties stepped aside
and went their length last Satur-
day in attempting to get control Of
and monopolize the new spaper
business in Baca county. and its
to them you are indebted for the
results of that undertaking.
incidentally, the Herald hasn't
yet been read out of the party or
struck It's colors, is doing busi-
ness at the old stand, continues at
the good old price of 81, 25 with
the privileged, and still has room
all the way from the basement
up to the fifth floor. ;
The Springfield herald., 1914-07-31

Up to the present time it has
been characterized principally by
the momentum of its Intensity
and the farsightedness of those
who snrang and are backing the
undertaking.
1t began in the first place in
the attempted guilotining of The
chairman and secretary of the
county central committee in
August Of last year, by these
self-appointed executioners of
the Herald.
And this was followed up by
these self-annointed and self
appointed purifiers of the party
going to the chairman and secre-
tary of the committee and by
argueing, coaxine, begging, or
badgering, bantering, and threat
ening, or a little of all of them,
secured their names to an indorse-
ment of a paper which they
the executioners and purifiers,
nov owned.
By the same tactics of an ex-
parte presentation of the case,
and coaxing, wheedling, and
begging, they secured the
other names of the
members of the committee
to the Endorsement of their al.
ready Officials" paper.
Then to give their Officials"
! paper the prestige they thought
it should have, these knights of
pure and unadulderated democ-
racy went to the chairman,
whose throat on prior occasion
they had been at with their
knives, and quietly put him wise
to the fact that all Officials"
calls should be published only in
their pure and unadulterated
officials" paper.
Thus it was the editor of the
Herald first knew of the call for
one central committee meeting
when he saw it in the Officials"
Democrat.
When the call for the primaries
and assembly was made the
chairman was here in Spring
field, but so carefully was the
secret guarded that neither the
the editor nor any of his friends
could find out even when the
assembly was to be held.
But even this didn't crafty
their lofty ideas of purity nor
satiate their ravishing thirst for
profits. They next rounded up
on an average of half a dozen in
each of five precincts out of ten,
and thus secured the delegates
upon whom they could depend

VII IIle AdCH VI MdTCl, 1914,
appeared in the Democrat a
sworn statement, by Enock
Koontz, Of the ownership of the
Democrat, in which is given the
names OF six persons, including
Enocl Koontz, Roy Regnier, and
FL. o. Green.
1t was believed to be kne wn
at the time, that Enock Koontz
wasn't financially inter-
ested in the matter, and since
that time there has been a gen.
eral rumor current that Roy
Regnier and H. o. Green didn' t
have one dollar invested in the
enterprise; and the rumor
settled down to a general moral
knowledge of the fact, but with
out legal evidence.
We now have it on the author
ity of R. K. Knight that H. O.
Green and Roy Regnier rever
put one dollar in the Democrat.
and were not, at the time
that affidavit was made, in
teresteo one dollars worth in that
paper.
Mr.. Knight says that instead
of Green and Regnier, it was
Dave Konkel and Tom Barr; that
five parties put up $1,000, and
that it was Dave konkel that paid
him the $1,000, for himself and
the others.
We say that we have this
on the athority of Raymond
K. knight, the :ormer
owner of the Democrat, who
was then presumably in the Sc
cret of the combine, and now
knows just what he is talking
about.
i We want our readers and the
= public 10 get this matter straight.
Enock koontz swore to the
statement that Green and Reg
nier and himself and three 9TH
ers were the sole and only Lwn-
ers of the Democrat, while
Knight says that Green and
Regnier didn't have one dollar
in it, and that instead of their
names it should have been the
names of Dave Konkel and Tom
Barr.
Our readers can draw their
own conclusions in regard to
that affidavit. tits probable that
brother Koontz can make COM
plete explanation that will show
him guiltless; and at all events
no one is compelled to incrimin-
ate himself.
Presuming that our informa-
ton is correct, the delegates at
| last Saturdays assembly can
now understand what they
voted for when they stood up
last Saturday and voted against
the Herald. 1t was to take the
bread ana butter away from the
Herald editors children and give
it to certain county officials WHO
are well fixed in this worlds
goods, and who two years ago
We're elected by the democrats of
the county to good fat jobs-to
look after the C0uhTY'S inter
estS.
The editor of The Herald knew
when be stood up before that
assembly last Saturday that he
was facing a hopeless task-that
he was facing delegates elected
in most cases by half a dozen to
a dozen persons in the primaries
week previous with the special
object of partly getting the re-
venge elsewhere spoken of, and
partly for the spoils of the vic
tory, as also elsewhere spoken
of.
The only regret is that he did
| MT have an inliling of what was
coming. If he could have had
one hours notice of what was
coming he could have had
time to have formulated a line OF
defense. One hour after it was
over with HI was aware of
the fact that the one
strong feature-the own
| ership of the Democrat, had not
been touched upon, as was the
case with many other strong fea-
lures that couldn't on the i'm
