Show A NEWSPAPER travesty iRA 0 P tA VESTY FOR AN ORGAN the court house ring appear in the role of editors ashamed to father the sheet misnamed the republican the expected happened A campaign paper has made its appearance and it announces itself as the successor to the sun it is called tie tic richfield republican but the perpetrators of the travesty are arc evidently evi denty a ahamed ham d to fly their names from the tcp wf f the column or thea the are too cowardly it being so cloe to the hour of publication for the reaper we are unable to point out all the misrepresentations and ma malicious lILIOUS lie liei contained in the shet sheet A few words nords about those who are generally accredited with the travesty the names of the I 1 quartette are said to be J F chidester 1 J H ericksen Enc ksen parley magleby and N C poulsen paulsen the first named is the judge of this district ohp second is ther the district attorney both men who have fed at the public crib almost since statehood began the third in the quartette is the present county clerk who desires to succeed himself for a thira term dt at the public crib the other member of the bunh is N C poulsen postmaster at richfield whose superiors at washington may have something to say bay as to pernicious activity in politics it is a well known fact that if a rock or other missile is thrown into a crowd it is the fellow who is hit that gelpi taking that as a premise it is safe to say that the men who are the fathers of the travesty were nere the ones hit in the reapers readers Re apers efforts to expose some machine politics in this county there have been no attacks on the three men nho have given a clean administration of the county affairs and the men who are afraid to put their names to the sheet which claims to be the m r to the sun know it we have ducles attacked tt a aked no one but have published an article from one ebenezer which the precious bunch of are afraid to anan answer er the county clerk goes into spasms sp iams isms and attempts to show that the reaper his has been getting the long end of eatery bit of county counte print iniz it is also made to appear that the reapers readers Re apers efforts were directed toward getting all the county work we deny this and say that wo we have asked that printing contracts be let to the lowest bidders in the county why the county clerk if he be is entirely honest publish the amount of money he has paid out during the year to the breeden office supply company for pens pencils writing ting pads typewriter pap paper r in inks k s mucilage legal pouches and all other office supplies which can be obtained at several places in richfield and which aich the reaper does not supply these are the things which we ak should be distributed among the merchant here it has been suggested that there may be a rake off for some one from the house houe which furni furnishes Aes these supplies the mighty brain of the district attorney is revealed in the great gobs of wisdom which appear in the first issue of the travesty and as there is a record of the cases which the mighty legal mind of the district attorn attorney ev has appeared in for the state and as the records show the defeats as well as the victories vict 0 r 1 es of the legal lights which appear in the district court we ue may have a list of Cout continued wiled ou on eighth page A NEWSPAPER TRAVESTY FOR republican ORGAN continued from firs page these to present to oar o ir readers some day and we nery ery much fear it will chov that the district attorney is as sorry a failure as a public prosecutor as he is as ab a newspaper editor the writer of the articles in the initial number of the travesty gets slightly mixed in his efforts to impress people about the republican organ he says bays the republicans will not ask to have things published in the reaper as they have an organ of their own and from this on will patronize it the republicans have one thing to be sorry for and that is that they have not patronized their own paper the richfield sun but from this time on there will be a chance and the sun will have its pro per patronage that is a peculiar statement th sun is acknowledged bi the headlines of the new sheet to be defunct but it is going to have its just patronage from now on dead or no dead further on it sas sans the reaper will liae have to scrap for all the patronage it receives well we are willin willing to sarai for business just as we are arc willing to scrap clique domination and ring in political office that is a late admission to make thit that the republican office holders did not support the republican paper which was fighting for them and assisting to maintain them in office even the clerk intimates that he has given the lions share of the work from his office to the reaper while howard was struggling to eke out an in existence as the editor of the official organ of the pirty party speaking of the amount of work given the sun the clerk to have been entirely honest would have haic said that most of the work ork given the sun came from the treasurers treasur ers office and cry little of it from the clerks office the fact is that the treasurer and county attorney were vicria the only two officers who were entirely loyal to the official organ we the space to devote to the travesty which we would like for this imbue but we nv will ill have hae other bues and add possibly a few hundred issues left to us and we will see sec what ahat va we e will see |
