ship in the county, particularly
laying stress on the necessity
at this time of all experienced
hand at the mast wheel by rea-
son of our sky-larking taxes; and
thus left the matter with you.
We want here to revert again
to the paradoxical fact that taxes
in Baca are higher than in those
dinky 2x4 counties across the
line in Kansas. Over in Morton
county, for an instance, where
they are accusing everybody of
stealing $1,000 apiece from the
county, their taxes are not so
high IS they are here.
And we want again to make
the comparison in this way: If
our taxes are now confiscatory
of tie profits, what would they
be II Baca county had to sup-
port six county clerks, six trea-
surers, six sheriffs, six superin-
tendents. six county Judges,
eighteen commissioners. in six
courthouses. with supplies need
for eac and each striving to
get all out of it there was in it?
This is time when we need IL
man for commissioner who will
know when to say mo-, and
will have the stamina and tact to
fight for the mo" when he has
said it.
And the exact same as to the
yes" in the case.
As also stated before, Nc was
invariably reelected on his rec
ord, which gave to tax payers an
assurance that they could depend
on him to fight down useless and
extrvagant expens' s; and not
once during the time that he was
commissioner did he betray them
or dIsappoint them.
Democrats of the county we
believe in the eternal and God
given law of fair play, and we
have the c.rt,inty of the
knowledge that yon have The
same feeling. -'.a5
We are consequently going to
put this up to your sense of JUS
tice. McAdam's name should
have been on the primary ticvet,
and would have been there if
the county clerk had done right
in the matter.
There Is now but one thing
left, and we are consequently &C.
ing to ask the democrats of TIE
county to right the wrong done
to McAdam.
To get nomination by writ
ing a name iu a blank space
wnen all the other names are
printed is an uphill job, but we
believe that out of sense of de-
cency and fair dealing-if you
believe in them, you will in this
one instance remember to do it
and take the trouble to do it.
Democrats. we are going to
ask you in this one case to re-
member and to take the trouble
to say, by writing the name of
IL. McAdam," that you are in
favor of decency and fair deal
ing as against foul and dirty
work, and cunning tricks and
sharp practices.
The only two things in the way
of nominating a man as easily
by writing his name in a blank
space as wheE printed in the
ballot, is the matter of remem-
bering and the matter of taking
the trOpble. We are consequent
ly endeavOring to so impress the
necessity of the case upon you
that it will be tie one ruling
passion of your mind when you
go into the booth to vote.
Right here an explanation that
should have been mad" in the
beginning:
1t wasn't by McA dam $ negli-
cence that he didn'ttile his &c
certance in time. 1t was be-
ause he didn't lsn) wv tli INV in
the case-dldn't know that he
had to file an acceptance.

Fair Play
For McAdanl

Uujustly Kept off the ticket,
the Democrats Are Asked
to Make 1t Right at the
Primary on the 9th
Of September.
To Make it Right. if You Be-
lieve in the Decency of Fair
play, Write IL. L.McAdam''
in the Blank on the
Ticket For Com
missioner.
Could Have Been and Would
Have Been on the Ticket if
the County Clerk Had
Done by McAdam
As He Did by
, Others.
1t Was a Case of the Letter That
Never Came.
However the democrats may
think of the situation in a gen.
eral way, we know Of an abso-
lutte certainty that they will
stand up and fight for the decen-
cy of fair play when they see it
and know it.
There are two things about
McAdam's name not being ON
the ticket. In the first place his
name would be there if the coun.
ty clerk had taken the same
interest in fair play for Nc as he
did in securing the acceptance
of the Combines nominee for
the county judgeship.
The county clerk says he no
titled Nc; but that notificati n
ought to have gone some place,
and McAdam has never received
it. In the case of Inman, the
county clerk was asked the day
before the time was up if Inman
had filed his acceptance yet,
and he said mo, but I've noti-
fed him and l expect him in TO-
morrow. /" --l-i sl'e..,. .-.s-.4--
He now says he also notified
McAdam, but just why he should
expec ct Inman in the next day
and not Nc, in case he notified
Nc, is a puzzle that can be ac-
counted for only OH the presump.
tion that he didn't notify Nc,
or that he served personal no.
tice on Inman-or both.
The facts are that he had no
grounds for presuming that In
man would be in the next cay
except he had taken the trouble
to serve personal notice on
him, or knew that some of the
combine had done so.
The county clerk knew that
Nc wanted on the ticket, and
knew that he could phone to
Miss Wanda at Villas at her ex-
pense, and ;hat thus McAdam
could have been gotten to
Springfield in time to file his ac-
ceptance. Further than that, he
knew that he had only to men,
tion the matter to any of a num-
ber of democrats in Spring
field, and they would have seen
that Nc got the word.
The facts further are that the
county clerk knew that Nc is not
on the mail line, and would thus
stand a good chance of not get
ting the letter till after the time
was up:
In the second place, there was
nothing in the way of county
clerk sending in the nameof Nc
adam. The law sa:s simply
that those designated shall file
their acceptance inside OF sew.
Ell days, and that's as far as il
goes. Thus if the clerk lac
been disposed o favor Mac, the
name could have been handed in
along with the other names.
OF course the clerk in the lat.
ter case can frame all kinds u
excuses. among which might be
a Conscientious compliance
with the law; which wodld Ger.
tainly be good for one whose
conscience didn't deter him froni
aiding in the attempted assassi-
naticn of his own brother
for the plunder there was in it.

Judge Allen.

A Judge With No tavorltes,
Who Has Filled the Place
With Credit and Honor,
And Is Deserving Of
the Party's Favor.
After Serving Length Of Time,
Thor oughly Tested in His
Uprightness and Capaci-
ty, Not a Whisper
Taints His Name.
It's the Case of a Stright Man
With a Straight Record.
This is the man who has drawn
upon himself the fire of the Baca
County Tammany combine.
This is the man who refused
to bow the knee to Baal, and
refused to be dictated 10.
This is the man the combine
will slaughter to the man if he
gets the nomination.
This is the man that the COM
bine Firing Squad" expects to
drop into his political grave.
The first order to fire" is given
for September 9th, and if they
fail to get him then the BUSH
whacking squad will make an.
ether desperate attempt to get
their man amidst the excitement
of the general election.
We don't want any misunder-
standing the issue. We want
every man and woman in the
county to know when they 70
into their booths on the 9Th of
September all the facts in the
case and just what the situation
is.
The first fact that we want
them to know is that Alf Allen
signed the combine Endorsement
of the officials paper out of .
mistaken notion of helping his
brother, and that his reward for
so doing is the attempted butch.
erinR of that same brother by
the said precious, bushwhaking
combine, whose Endorsement of
their precious Democrat he
signed.
The second fact that we want
them to know is that a certain
Mr.. Inman was designated in
the assembly as the man behind
whom the bushwhakers could
line up for their first firing act"
On the 9th of September.
He is the Baca county Tam
many candidate, and was desig-
mated for the sole purpose of an
object lesson, through the defeat
of Eldon Allen, to all those who
refused to fall down and worship
their unsullied gods.
The situation is that T. Eldon
Allen could have been in the
combines favor and would have
been unopposed in the primary
had he been willing to act as a
secoLd to the county clerk un-
til the latter's brother had gone
down in the last desperate strug.
gle for his life.
Democrats of the county, by
the attempted slaughtering Of
Allen you can understand the
pressure brought to bear OH the
editor's two friends on the reso-
lutiOns committee in the assem-.
bly,, neither of whom could keep
the other from reporting the
Democrat Endorsement resolu-
tiOn to the assembly-as both,
as in the case of Allen, were as
pirants for office, and neither
wanted the resolution reported.
Before leadiug out on Allen
personally, we want to say this
Of Inman-the combines can:
didate. He may be a goodman
may belong to church, and may
be a Christian.
We have heard only one man
say anything about Mr.. Inman
and that was favorable to him as
Il man and neighbor.
But there is this that can't be
got around: When Mr.. Inman
learns that he was designated
by the foulest combine the coun-
ty has ever known, and
designated for the sole purpose
| of getting revenge on a man who
refused: to become the
combines "trusty,' as in the

The Woman's Club dinner which

fold purposes, to demonstrate
Georgia's resources and to finance
the purchase of books for the Ii
