PRECINCT NO. ~

MI. County Republican Chairman:
don't know as you wrote to Cal or
not, but anyways he wuz to Pierre last
week and he's SUI full o. news. He's
jined the liberation leeg, and he's got 8
signers already. He says it's an ag-
gregation Of liberty lovin' freemen
same as them what signed the declara-
ton. Tom Roberts head push and then
there's lesser push in county ad LIB
tum. Cal says 1T looks good to him,
cause he says Toms real rot up in 1T.
Tom told Cal he used to spend HE spare
time on Muckrake by the name OF
Mundt, but marry a breath spy more
now it's up with the Liberation and down
with the sufferers-Cal says them goes
t%ogadder, he says SONS all sucked up
with a nu mismatic gas wagon; where is
John Ripple, who is preaching tenn
prence and suffrings. is riding round
in a super hi bernated Lizzie that's a
disgrace to the perfession, Cal says
may be he'll get a Franklin. Cal thinks
the Real Head Officer is Mr.. Bud
Weiser. Now what | want to know is
if this is a side show to the Hughes
wagon or is the Hughes wagon a side
show to the Liberation Leeg, cause
you kin plainly see that now lays a big
stress OH the Liberation. AS for me,
Mr.. Chairman, / am agin s~ideshows,
the tariffs good enough for me, that
one thing hez gotten and kept more re-
publicans in Office than any other
scheme l ever hearn of and most the
boys hev spent a lifetime working up
on it and Its beauty is that you kin talk
about it and the flag, and not get up
any arguments.
Jack Lockhart makes a good thrillin
talk; LENS wife Sarah seys she'd as
soon hear Jack as Billy Sunday. Jack
was a moozer ons't, but Lem says he
backslided. Now if the Liberation leeg
wurks in with this organization III
sign up. Tom seems to lay an awful
distress onto it. | wish there WIZ an
other blacksmith shop cuz ST Short is a
he don't talk much but some
times when a good argument has been
made then he winks to some farmer and
sometimes that suzforn talk. Cal was a
layin' out the sheep business n day
and q hull crowd was there and Cal
makes a good Sleeps talk, he has the
liggers and when he got done Spitzna.
gle says to ST: Now vot yu got speak
and 81 says nothin' says he, my brother
only got 80 cents for his wool this year.
is a German and belongs to
the Reliance and has a big picture of
the Kaiser which cnm with his Father
land paper and he had it framed and
mounted TO donate it to the Radical
Roosevelt Leeg Of which Lem Jones is
president and we had a near riot; if this
campane goestru without blood Wen be
lucky. You know the Rabraux, four
of 'em, all republicans, little bit skit-
fish on Hughes to begin on. Spitzna
gle fixed them for good, don't need to
waste another stamp on 'em, scratch
'em off your list, put EN- on the dems
side, they're for Wilson again J%aynes
don't think they'll vote for Laughlin.
Spitznagle done it; he came home from
Huron half-full, went down to the
blacksmith shop where ST wuz a shoin'
broncho. big crowd and Spitznagle
told how the German Reliance had
Hughes, he had talked with
fellow from Memo where Ewert's De
Mutt made a speech on the fourth and
the Rabraux sn' Canadian French, you
don't need to write to 'em. l talked
with 'em and they told me. Say / wish
that broncho had kicked ~Spitznagle dead
the spot, and 81 jest laughed; | never
was 80 set up in my life. Did you ever
hear q Reliance mar talk? It's alright
but don't have any body but Germans,
pure unadulterated. etc..-the stuff is
off. So is the Rabraux.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, some of these
air hard to fix and I'm real per-
What we need in this precinct
il some money, but ! wouldn't let Cal
handle it, and have the county candi.
dates KUN down a little oftener, cause
If the fellers gets ter votin' for Wilson,
it may 60 hard on them. Air the can
didates commencin' to loosen up. II
think I know where | could place a lit
tie money to good advantage.
Willingly yours,
GLEN PERKINS.
