There was a time in the dim past when a man could be in jured by simple reports, but in this day and age people are more intelligent and study the ma neuvers of the skilled politicians more seriously. This paper has never declared in favor of any presidential candidate, but we do believe that schemes have been invented to kill off Governor Wil son's presidential boom, and that nothing will be left undone by the schemers that will assist in doing the work.' There is not the least doubt that a certain gang, com posed of both democrats and re publicans, fear the nomination of Governor Wilson, because he is honest and will not be a man that they can use. That's the reason they are up in arms to kill off the man they do not want. Double dealing and all sorts of lying will be brought to the front in order lo accomplish the downfall of a good man. :o: Public Auction and then some.
