Sept. 9th. 1910 Lditor S«tli»(sleni. In-ar Sir: You iiaie no doubt seen in a reivnt issue erf the Merman County Times In dependent tiie slurring remark made relative to Mr. II. 1‘. Starr of Loup City, but that it may have escaped your attention 1 \eniure to quote it be re: "Around Ashton political senti ment seems to be iargelv in favor of ltahiman for governor, pre sumably on account of his posi tion on the liquor question, [•ahitnan »a> to liave spiiken at the carnival lie Id at Ashton last week. Failing to appear. R. P. Starr of Loup City spoke in his place. Mr. Starr's remarks, praising the citizenship of I>ahl rr.an and comparing his states manship and tiie obstacles he has surmounted witii Uiose of our be loved presidents. Lincoln and Washington. were received with appiause by many of the Ashton people it would seem that Dalil man is going to gel tite support of some republicans." It s»enis to me. Mr. Editor, that j tl«e glaring error, or mis-statement in tiie above requires some sort of an answer, and being cliairman of the Republican county central committee perhaps tliat duty devolves upon me. Tliere can be no question that tiie slurs and remarks contained therein are made to besmirch tiie character and injure the standing of Mr. Marr. tiie republican nominee for tiie office of county attorney, before tiie voters of Sherman county . Tiie .itUe village of Ashton had prepared itself for a gala dav on tiie event of the “Old Settlers Reunion" and tiie citizens of that village and 1 neighboriiood had spared neither time nor money in decorating their streets, in evidencing their loyalty to tiieir country, by the [>arade and the h listing of hundreds of our country's ffag They i.ad provided three bands 1 L> discourse patriotic and inspiring musk*, and hundreds of tiie good pr pie of Merman county gathered there to do lionor to the pioneers and i old settlers, to greet tiie white-haired latliers and mothers who were the first home builders among the hills and valleys of Sherman county. The first day neither Mr. Starr or myself were present the second day) was fit for tiie entertainment of the most prominent citizens of any community: . tiie right hand of fellowship greeted j one at every turn, every moment of ! tiie time one was greeted with smi es and our hearts were warmed with j tiie loyal sincere hand grasps, which , so often mean more than words. , Among tiie entertainment provided Mr. Starr was called upon after, as , we know, the very brief opportunity , fur preparation, to make a speech loi that itappy. smiling and eager audi ence It is seldom, indeed, tiiat more marked attention is ever given to a ^ public speaker in an audience of this iciiaracter than was given to Mr. Ntarr during tiie twenty minutestliat these people were afforded an oppor tunity of liearing him. 1 stood in | tiie midst of tiiat gathering: 1 heard every word which was spoken by Mr. starr. and by otliers upon tiie same piatform with him. ami let me here -ay to you that tiie author of tiie s ..rrimr extract quoted from the j M erman t euntj Times-Independent. !eiti«er did nut hear Mr. Starr's speech ■r otherwise prides himself in seeing t. w fir Ije can get from tiie truth of what Mr. Marr said.
