Show After the Bail. Just a. Few Things After the Election is Past. Once upon a time V. C. Gates was a local business man and a politician. In recent j ears he has been away from the cit, but two weeks before the recent re-cent election he came to Logan from Niagara Falls. In some way tils name became associated with the Tcllurldc's light in this city, and right or wrong, many republicans believe be-lieve he camo here as a representative of Mr. Nunn, with money to assist democracy in its tight. It is not to be infcried from this that there is any belief that money was used in any underhanded way, but It Is believed that the democrats had "foreign" money to "grease the wheels," that is, to pay any necessary and legitimate expenses they might cafe to Incur. It is certain that the democrats acted like they had the money, all right, and where they got It Is a.iiucstlon, of course. Since tho election, Mr. Catcs Is reported re-ported as saying that "something is liable to drop pretty soon now," and whether he moans another drop In the price of Hercules lights, or that the Tcllurlde has some grand coup up it's sleeve, can only be conjectured. Sufficient Suf-ficient has leaked here and there to leave any doubt that he came to Logan Lo-gan for a'spcclal purpose In connection with the Tcllurlde people, and It remains re-mains to bo scen'what the visit really meant. 1 democracy attributes Its success rightly, It will give Neils Peterson credit for the whole thing. Hut for the scratching done In his favor, It Is probable that of its ticket only one or two of its councilmunlc candidates would have pulled through. Nells proved prov-ed a runner out of sight and here's hoping that he will make an excellent oillcer. Drunken hoodlums made themselves them-selves as.obuoxlous as usual. This Is an olTcnse that election day should not condone. If thc.otliclals do not caie to arrest this class of fellows on election day, they could at least corral them in a back lot and keep them fiom showing themselves around where clvllled beings aie. |
