ID I've favor the submission OF cor

official while holding such offc,
shall be a candidate for any otheI
Office, excepting TO succeed himself
when eligible, and that no fedora

plration thereof-that a member of

candidate for seat in congress for

the legislative body of which he is a
member
John Fields, republican candidate
for governor, is trying to prejudice
the farmers of the state against tbe
democratic party, and one of his
ia'orite modes is to charge that re.
publican farmers have received no
laNors through the school land de.
partment. While making a speech at
Ada lately, Fields said. Are there
any of you farmers who have re.
eelved a loan from the school land
lepartment?' and then, before any
me had an opportunity to answer.
'ohh continued: "No, of course.
here is not; not a one of You ever
ecelVed loan. Those fellows don't !
want you to have the money; they {
'P ~ lol lne banks to !
peculate upon" After Fields had 7
hlshed his address, Senator Roddie
mo was present and who had heard Il
ne unfair statement, mounted the O
Iatiorm and said: Il do not want {
, make a speech but | do want to d
Drrect the false impression left bv h
Ir. Fields" lie then asked farm. h
present if he had not received il
'hool land loan The farmer said II
eS' sir. In quick succession he H.
'ked hve more farmers whom he nj
'rsonally knew and each answered
at he had received a school loan W
oddle then asked all other farmers HI
hold up their hands, and about m
lie dozen more farmers held ND SC
eir hands and acknowledged that pc
ey were the recipients of loan W

MS story serves to show the nm vi
II methods used by Fields in or of
# TO create false impressions. in
one of the hardest facts TO get in,
'ay from in figuring on republican
democratic success is that the all
mocrats cast $4,000 votes in the no
lmary campaign and the republi.
MS cast 10000 John Fields and on
republican press continually taII, ou
out democrats who intend to vote fer
