To The Voters of
McCone County

At the time we filed as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for county commits
sioner of McCone Co., we assumed that there
would only be the nominees of the Democrat
ic and Republican parties at the fall election,
and that in that event we would have an even
break on Nov 9th. However we now learn
that there will be an Independent candidate
also, which would make the race three corner
ed, and we feel that that changes the stu
alton. We therefore feel it only proper and
just that the other two candidates have the
race to themselves on Nov. 9th. Our name
however will appear an the ballot, but ask
that my friends disregard same. Thanking
you al for past courtesies.

 Hickman's insanity is defined as ability to judge between right and wrong and this is the sole issue and on this the jury of 12 will be requEed to reach an ur- animous verdict.
 If found sane, the young de- fendant will be sentenced by Judge Hardy to life imprison- ment or to be hanged. If found to be insane. legal authorities declared Hickman will be sent to the State Hospital for the Insane for one year and he then could demand sanity trial. If he was then found sane, he would be given his freedom.
