| Show THEY BELIEVE IN protection ti IA the liberal parade feb 8 a transparency was carried taftt t ua wittingly expressed a stunning truth it ran thus the liberals have no lift need of detectives f this fact has hae been shown show n in the columns of the NEWS and by other processes throughout the campaign the reason reamon why the opposition has had no need of octives ec tives la in that the aim of the peoples managers has been to conduct the conflict on square and honorable principles it has not only been shown that i the liberals have bad no need of detectives but that they have because 0 of i th the e g gigantic I 1 gant to an and d b brazen raze n 2 frauds of which they are guilty a decided objection to their employ ment by the people it if they sorted to fair methods instead of the wholesale stealing process of they have been convicted they would not raise a howl bi because bibasse bause de tec tives have been employed to bring their unequaled corruption fid light it appears however as aa if the probable work of detectives had been anticipated in advance pointing in this direction 1 is the fact that ton ten out of the names named s of the men who have places upon the liberal ticket including par timan regis registrars were also placed upon the latest jury list one of them was on the grand graild jury jory vent venire but fortunately or otherwise he was excused by the court for cause being unable to writa thal thai defect debot does not appear to be an obstacle in the estimation of bis political bed fellows to his bis eligibility to re represent the party of hollow bellow educational mou things in the city government besides the array of candidates that are on the jury list the balance to is largely made up of conspicuous anti moamoa liberal rabid ests people are asking ashing themselves whether or not the presence ot of these gentlemen on the list of jurors had bad adyth anything I 1 ng to do w with I 1 th the prospective protection of tools who break the election laws and the interest int erect of the party that has baa na no need of detectives upon this subject it may not be napp inappropriate rop to put a number of things that tbt seem

explains itself the first paragraph is simply disingenuous and superficial rubbish the peoples peopled party have no desire neither have they made any attempt to intimidate any legal voter the only class whose votes they object to are those who are not qualified and whose names are not legally on the registration lists they aliey wish it understood that they prop propose to nse the law against lawbreakers of that class and against Libe liberal ralf persona tors hundreds of whom are understood to be flowing into this city the gentlemen whose bames ap pear above ought to know that it is not I 1 in a the interest of the peoples peopled r party for them to attempt to intimidate legal voters and we do not believe that they believe that any work of that kind is in progress or contemplated it being intimated ind mated that the I 1 peoples 3 eo party intend to make dexa bious arrests at the polls say these gentlemen on this intimation they propose to furnish bonds and lection tec tionA tion to the liberal lambs lambe who are liable to be the victims of mis placed confidence i it has not only been f that hundreds of illegal voters have been placed upon the lists that they might ballot for the liberal candidates but proved many man of their names have been pub lishers and the refutation of the fraud defied Is it to profit these miserable tools in the hands of political tricksters trick that those these mag unanimous nani gentlemen are pledging I 1 their fortunes if not their sacred honor the amount alleged to be represented in the foregoing protective association is by the organ of liberal frauds thus indicated the names signed to the agreement to go bond for the liberal vP party voters monday peb feb 10 represent in money at least six million dollars this to is a large sum to be put forward on the basis of an inN mahon it seems as if the ground of projection was being well covered in vw of the rotten methods resorted tb by the opposition thus far is it not to a maia maa up a tree the offer of bonds bond sand and protection tec tion I would look as if it had been put out to stiffen the knees and backbones of fraudulent liberal voters who have been notified that if they vote not being qualified elec electors torp tb the e law shall be applied to them it is to be hoped that this was not its intent anten but each individual is left to put his own construction st upon
