Editor, The Producers News:
Election day will soon be here.
Next Tuesday the electorate will
go to the polls and cast their bal
lots for what seems to them to be
Tor the best benefits to themselves.
And as usual, the heaviest bar
rage is now being laid down to
influence the voter to cast his vote
for certain parties. Some of these
carry much truth, others have
nothing to commend them.
The latest barrage laid down by
the Republican party of Sheridan
county is poster showing two
notes given by Charles E. TAYLOR
to Mr.. Hanson. A great deal of
ado is made about these notes.
and the picture of old man Han
son is printed along with a sob
story. AS a matter of fact l un-
derstand that Mr.. Hanson is in
much better circumstances TODAY
than most of US and lives the same
as ne always has lived and is not
IN want. The notes are bonafide
the picture is bonafide, the rest is
bunk. A purely business deal is
turned into pathetic story. WHY?
Inc answer is simple. The Repub-
lcan administration hopes to con-
troll Sheridan county by picturing
taylor as a terrible ogre, a moneY
snatcher from an old man. That
the story is only half told does
not make any difference to those
who would control this county bv
any means at their command. They
take only the part which will an
peal to the effeminate and senile
and leave the rest which would ex-
onerate the Senator from anv
wrong doing. They do not tell
the public on these posters that
most of US have notes OUTSTANDING
which we are unable to paw be-
cause of conditions beyond orr
control at this time. They do NOT
tell you that these notes will he
paid as soon as Taylor is able to
pay them. They do not say that
taylor admits an honest debt and
