New school, forsooth. Why, the
penchant manifested by Mr. Pol

office-holder, as old as the republi

Joe Hartley, who formerly lived i
a: Atkinson, was up here on a visit i
quite recently and talked a little
politics with his old-time friends.
When Joe was in the banking bus
iness at Atkinson he was extremely
popular and did many a good (turn
for many people, and notwithstand-
i: g his unfortunate relation to the
state treasury, still has many
friends who are glad to see him.
Many have felt that Bartley was
much more sinned against than
sinning and a quiet talk which he
had with a few friends this last trip
will convince more people that
Bartley has suffered for the sins of
others as well as his own.
Chatting one evening witha few
old-time friends of different shades
of politics, they began to discuss
N orris Brown. Bartlev made r.o
remark about him until some per
son asked him the question, "Joe,
what do you think about Norris
Brown?" 'Well." said Joe. "o

to borrow $2,000 from the bank and
gave his note for it. The bank
failed and I lost nearly all of the
$5,000 of the state money that I had
put into it. It was a part of the
shortage for which I am held ac

There is talk of Jesse L. Root as
candidate for state senator on the
republican ticket. Mr. Root has a
great many friends in Cass county;
he is a very capable mia. Agaia,
there are a number of republicans
who feel Mr. Root was iastrumeat

democrats to county orSce, and that
he had beea at times half-hearted ia
his support of the ticket. We feel
that he is a gentleman of his word,
