promises that they would foreclose a
mortgage which they held upon the
sentinel, take the paper away from

caught IN the jam. Bowler had
something on them which he threat

Ioreclose the farmers paper as they
had promised Burley, for they were
AFRAID OF the Producers News. They
were too yellow to make either |
move. So they helped Burley to
RAISE the money along with Sid Ben

Leader from Joe DOlin, in the hopes
that BGrley could discredit the Sen |

that they could eventually get the |

sammy IS scared to death of Burlev.
6urley spends the most of each das

sammy and Al. Sometimes Al
meets Burley and Sid over in Bur

Talk matters over, and lay their
plans. Al would like to cut looslI

Last week Burley, when gloatino

nd his united front for "Kaucious

t, writes:
"The editor of the Leader de-
clared himself and stated that
we would support both of them,
as we'll as the other county Of
Meals, regardless of what ticket
rney Med on and We never ask
ed either of them for any bust
ness nor did we ask them what
ticket they were going to file on.
How, then, can either of
those candidates or the writer
De embarrassing anyone? How
can any of these candidates be
traitors They stand on the
same platform and on the same
ticket as they did two years
ago and they have rendered the
county splendid service at the
least possible cost"

yqust, Ivory All Lawrence, Tin
IN hurley Bowler, Sagacious Sid
nlnett, and Wild Bill Stevens, to-
Cher with Vaselino Rankin of Hell
