You say that in Falls City where the Martins I live '
I\'Iorrow ' , Grinstead and Smith got their party vote.
Did they ? Falls City gave the state officers seventy- "
six majority Grinstead carried the town by only 1f
twenty-six-fifty votes shprt. Smithh carried it by only ' f
nineteen and Aioiu ow' LOST TlIE TOWN BY ONE VOTE.
Who did it ? Iilyour reply will you tell who the thirty
. six men were who voted in this town for the entire republican -
publican ticket . xceptl : these men and Burkett ? You
try to fix he responsibility on' others by publishing ' f
the , Muddy precin.ct vote and say "You can see there ' 'Jf
how Iogrefe I ran ahead in his own home while the ' f
others fell behind. It is' a simple . matter ; when you take
the vote and it to where these

I
beaten.11 NQ ) man was more loyal l ) to the whole ticket , , ' ,
than Mr. I-iogrefe. It will not do to try and fix any
responsibility oi1 ; him or his precinct. There isn't an = y }
acquaintance oft Y.JX' : , Hogr fe's in i this county who wIll
accept your xpJanat ol _ . . This is republic n county. V
I.t gave President Roosevelt 890 maJ < : > ntr. It gave the Ii'1
'state ticket nearly 300 majority and defeated all of the lfc
county ticket save one man. Some one did this will 'I II
you tell \lR whonl you hold responsible ' ? I
You publish a circular letter from E. ] . Burkett .lif- *
which was sent to . , every republican ; paper in the district ! tJ 1
ly his secretary , and say wIth poor taste and poorer !
grammar "Mr. Burkett knows who are his friends and
who to thank for the victory. " You are right , he does. 'I '
He also knows his enemies and to whom the responsi- ' f
bility for the defeat belongs. ,
