DIRTY POOL

From reports that are coming in it is understood that James Wicker sham. having no platform on which to make a campaign or no issue on which he can base his talk, is resort ing to abuse and is seeking election by those means.
 In a speech at Nenaua recently he called Delegate sulzer a stacker, not withstandug Che fact that Mir. sulzer was soldier in Che spanish-Ameri- can war before he was out of his teens.
 We gave Wickersham credit for having more sense than he really has and can only excuse his poor judg- ment in this matter by presuming that he has grown desperate and is graspng at straw to try and save himself from that great Democratic flood that he realizes is about to roll over him
