which got what lital eddicatlon ne
how has by his own self an oaver
tote goes to ther croud which has
bin in the offs of the gunner for bout
k1 terms, an which thinks thay air
Ehe oarlie persons which kan run

Mr.. K. w. Smith stead of Dote. II
bfeeze wuz now the gunner / spect

Doat's folks but es it is Mannln'
he wood do no sich thing.
now mr.. edditor i seeks ter talk

nondint. I think he will hev mis- mans
fuil frum now on askin us bois in the
Fkuntrie ter voat fur his cusin Coot
lem runnin with the blew bluds IN ther
touns. we must kno wher cusln Coo1
STAINS in this hear stratergy es we Is
the peepul an fur the peepul. now
when wun of our bois like cooper Is
IN the rails, as sais, whltch was
sprang frum ermung ther peepul' en-
neyar loant mummy but borrid like us
farmars, it is ther dutie of us bols
ter git berhint him en- Civ him er
shuy en- if Dote en- coot is erglnst US

mannin hez dun sumthin fur Dote en-
dote wishes ter voat fur him, ne shud
saieh. j is fur mannin bercaus ne
done me a favour, which we WOOD
overlook, but he mustn't hide MS raie
excoos an say as how Mannin is tur
us bois, which he is not.
Way back when ben tilmun furst
runned fur offs he sed ter turn ther
blew bluds out, en- he started but
thcr trubble is that ben let sum oao
felars git on his wagin, en- thay wus
fur the offs en- not fur ben and ther
peepul, you hav sean them runnln
with ben es long es he wus In, en-
then YOU sead ther saim croud runnln
with Kole when he wus guvnar, an
as soon as the blew bluds sprang In
ther saddle over theas hear felars
went ter that air croud. we hav had
ernuf puvnars which tries ter keap
one set of felars in offs all ther time.
II seams that as sune as a felar g1ts
ter be guvnar he cummences to try
ter passerfy all theas hear poller,,
tishuns by givin Nv them ofls, and
gittin thear support. an Mannln mas
out did EN- all becase ne hes ned tne
ofises maid to fit evry felar, en- If 1T
amt a offs it is a board which helps
ther pollertishuns, ther salm ole
croud as sails, ter live on ther pee
pull.
now mr.. edditor, is fur a new
deel, an we will git it If we iect
coopar. all ther ole line slick poller-
tishuns is fur mannin or fur Kole, an
thay is now fitin the peepuls kander-
DAFT coopar, which will be under no
oblergashuns ter emmy of them when
we Iect him, an he will be man
Witch is iliicted by the peepul, an
over in ther hands he will turn ther
guynermint. but the uthers wont.
YOU ask the mannin men which is In
pollerticks an offs hunters, who they
is poner voat fur if mannin is beet
an you will find they is fur bleeze, en-
YOU ask the bleeze pollertishuns who
thay is fur if bleeze is beet en- thay is
fur mannin. in corse the peepul is
not but i am talkin bout the cote
hous pollertishuns an the felars which
has taken Dote in chrage, en- which
thinks they kan voat US as suites ther
convenients. sais if theas hear
felars air to hold all ther offises all
thee time we he'd es well git US a
king en- ct him pint EN- fur life. II
not we will erlect cooper en- then
when he pints officers he will git a
man which is fresh frum our croud
en- which is not a Professional poller-
tishun waitin fur offs.
now think you shood drap dote
as he has gon oaver to ther poller-
tishuns and talk up trew believer
in ther peepul an fur that rites ter
ak that you pint me as ther corris-
pondint' of this hear paiper ter talk
