The announcement of the can
didacy of. Garland E. Lewis for
county superintendent appears
in this issue , Mr. Lewis is a
young rafin who has been raised
and educated in Glister County
and would make a good county
superintendent.
The candidates lor county
oflkcti are beginning to make
their announcements and the
voters should keep their eye on
them and study their qualifica
tions. The most essential thing
in the operation of a popular
form of government such as ours
is the selection of good party
candidates and that responsibil
ity under the primary system
rests on the people.
Lcgij'nture was Rotten ,
"W. J. Taylor , of Memo , who
was one of the Democratic rep
resentatives from this district in
the last legislature says :
"Everybody knows that the
Democratic legislature was com
pletely helpless in the grip ol
he corporations , insurance com
panies and brewers , and fell far
short of redeeming its pledges.
Good honest Democrats , many
of them in the liouse , admitted
by explanations to be printed in
the house journal , that our party
could not redeem its pledges be
cause of the influence of the cor
porations. "
Take that and smoke it in
your pipe Brother Beal. If you
believe in straightforward , hon
est journalism , now , come out
and admit the truth.
