“WHERE AM I Alt” ... - - ' • ' .. • '•/* Fowler Era. —Bemoeratego to sleep and ace, caught in the toils of a Democn tic law. The still hunt was too st ll.! The law requires that the nomina- j tions of political conventions be| certified to by the chairman end secretary of the convention, wh ch | certificate shall be before some officer authorized to take acknowledgements, and which certificate shall be filed in the Clerk’s office not earlier than 60 days, nor lees than 15 days before the day of election. The D mocrate held a convention at G* od- ! land, and nominated Saunder on for Judge, and Davis for Pros* cu tor. The certificate for their n> mination had to be filed not b ter than last Monday, bnt it was not ] filed until Tuesday at 11 p *,] “They say’* a regular certificate was made, and the Kunnel [Albaugh of Oxford} says he gav. it to Dave [Eaetburn of the Revi* wj and Dave says he gave it to the Kunnel. Anyway it was not fi ed and the language used bv certain Democrats to ’locate” then two “lights” is more forcible tha* elegant. Another fact is the ce tifi. cate as filed was made Thurrday and was not sighed by Dht’ c ch, who was chairman of the cot ven- j tion, but his name was placed on it by another man, and Darrooh’s acknowledgement was said t. .ve been taken by a notary pub’ in Oxford, while Darroeh, at hat moment, was in Chicago id the Dedication ceremonies !! ! The

Kunnel has been too busy with liegrip riding around on tel*ph< no armer Matthews coat-tail, tad Dave’s time is eo wholly been i. ed with bis “good” paper, 4hat between the two they went l eels over head into the meshes of the Democratic law. If they nr.' not smart enough to even get a name on the ticket in a little <•<>. nty olection, how can they be fit to maußge the affairs of thi- '' net government on earth.” It n» but another of the ten IbousjuM! »&» pps that nravp their utter lack of capacity to transact public busk ness. They even bungle things up so miserably that they beat their own friends. * $!
