Foolish Stories

There are many foolish stories
started in a political campaign, but
of course they don't get very far
among intelligent people. One re.
ported the other day was to the Ell
feet that j. w, Heltibridle, could
not accept the office of county com
missioner because he is already a
justice of the peace. Yes, he is city
police justice in Miller. States Attor-
ney Christ is also city mayor and a
notary public. What of 1t? This
fact does not disqualify either from
holding a county office. Every re
publican in the Miller district knows
Mr. Heltibridle is we'll qualified, a
man of considerable ability and pro-
perty interests. with a ripe expert
fence and knowledge of Hand county
affairs both on the farm and in town
for thirty years. He will be easily
nominated

party's wish. and then join together
in support of the ticket-remember-
ing that our method of government
is that the majority shall rule.
