other thing. AT the repubica-
rally in s gield Earl sta ed
that he never vas in favor Of 3
legal county normaI. but insteas
a normal tuud for the county,
and left the impression that h.
had b4en misreprese nted in the
matter.
Now the Herald made the pes-
tive statement that Earl Denny
in The frs place was in favor
of Il legal normal, and We
want here to point out what We
based cur conclusions upon
At the normal in 1914 the sub
ject of a legal normal WIS
brought up and discussed pro
not word con. Then commit
tee consisting of superintendent
Mrs Oldem, Earl Denney. Louise
Schweitzer and Mamie Herbert
drew up set OF resolutions, in
elusive of the following:
BE it resolved that the norma
Of Baca county, and other coun-
ties similarly situated, he recoR-
nized, and that all funds rising
within the counties going to The
support Of the legal normal be
retained in said county for the
support Of the county normal"
The resolution was then adopt
ed by the normal without a sin
gle dissenting vote or a word to
the contrary.
The Herald has no desire
Earl, and if he
says he was not in favor of a le-
gal normal or that resolution We
will take his word FOR it.
The Sentine says only pref
udiced mind could see any words
in Harris article intended to ro-
t1eot on the character of Miss
Wanda. Here is the item in Har-
ris' article:
Must he [Warrenl go mooch-
irg "sku.king." 'sneaking,"
Ioafing see Websterl around
the county, begging a nights
lodging here, a meal there, urR-
ing his poverty, his long check
cred career in the region, his
utter failure in life, in order to
secure the Endorsement of re-
spectacle, Intelligent voters?"
To understand this in the light
in which it would be taken. it
wants to understood that War
rem pra ctically made no cam
paign and Miss McAdam did.
And the Sentinel gave theitem
duplication, and justifies both the
writer and i1nself; and because
the Herald told Harris he ought
to be ashamed Of himself, Jones

Did you say Shiny, sneaky,

Just one thing more: Be-
cause the Herald said the irriga-
ton company at Two Bu3tes, or
anywherc else, should bridge
their own bitches, and not ask
the county to do it, the Sentinel
tries to make its readers believe
