yourself to a post and invite your
wife and children to wear it out on
you for not having sense enough to
protect the interests of the family to
which you are a cleaning disgrace.
And what is true of the tax list pub
lished this year is also true Of the tax
list published last year. Prior to that
time the laws of 1915, respecting such
publications, were not in effect. If
you have already paid this unlawful !
amount demand it's return to you.
Now TIE Citizen has been telling I
you the truth about this matter as
well as other matters of vast concern
to you. 1t has told you the truth about
tax sale certificates and we are going
to show you that we have the same au-
thority to bear us out. This we shall
do next week.
A pretty mess, indeed, this Okla
homa-bossed jimmyocracy has vom-
tied upon Union county, isn't it The
Citizen has also told you the truth
about the profigate prodigality of
the jimmycratic board of county COM
missioners in reckless expenditures of
the peoples money; the expenditures
of your road money; executive" ses-
sions for the purpose of evading plain
provisions of the law; failures to COM
ply with the election laws thereby pur-
posely disfranchising voters in this
county; and that is why the Citizen is
not loved by the Oklahoma-New Mex
leo miscegenation of jimmycrats.
These are its only enemies and we are
proud of them. We have never lost
friend we needed nor gained one we
! did not need and the Citizen will con-
, tinue to tell you the truth. Here is
another fact you may digest. Had the
same conditions prevailed throughout
: the four and half years of the ad-
9 ministration that the Citizen forced
Il in county printing in the year 1914, al
IS though it had to force over an "exe-
: cutive session." the county would have
/ saved $1,244.74 on one so-called "of'
II fetal organ" alone. This is nice lit
Is tie "gift" to bestow as patronage tt
ID Oklahoma-ridden jimmyocracy. Bu
~ this does not include penny for pub
rs fishing delinquent tax lists, Mr.. Tax
C payer, then how much greater woult
TO the saving have been had the last tw,
a. publications been according to law
to But in the matter of tax-list publica
ne tions the jimmycratic administrator
at has been Caught with the goods" an
is will now have to "stand and deliver.
ou 1t would be just as easy to catch
on with the other goods and it ought t
D. be done. Do you want a continuanc
as of such administration If so, jus
IS vote the jimmycratic ticket and you
nd get it. We challenge the present jim
ou mycratic administration, the like {
Tn which Union county never before wi
ire messed and it is to be hoped will nevC
in again witness, to "show down" an
he comparison with any administratic
he Union county has ever had since i
in organization. You should demar
las of jimmycratic candidates full al
ese complete explanation of what jimm
ent ocracy has done to the people of tn
son county and what it has done with Il
has more than $Ss,OOO.OO dollars it HI
OF "blowed in" of the peoples none
in Of course you will never get such
to explanation, but that is no reason wi
ars you are not entitled to it. Democra
our don't look good to Oklahoma jimm
un- Gratis. What has been squandered
you newspapers is a small amount VIII
mop compared with other profligate expe
ck- ditures for that is only one item
tie prodigality.
