GRAM JURY
REBUKES THE
ELECTION LIARS
Finds No Conditions Existing Which
Warranted Calling of Jury or Vi-

Praises Work of County
Officers
After remaining in session two A
days the Garfield County grand jury A
t urned in its report and adjourned A
A complete examination of county A
affairs failed to uncover any of the A
"grounds" which resulted in the re- A
cent Democratic victory in Garfield A
County Both the base insinuations
of renegade ( and well marked) Re-
publicans and the aspersions of par-
tisan Democratic office-seekers were
proven to be groundless It has now
been ascertained that the voters of
Garfield County were "bamboozled"
by a bunch of liars We trust that
never again in this county's history
will such a conscienceless bunch of
character assassins and unscrupulous
self-seekers be tolerated or listened
to We feel certain that they are all
well marked and whenever they go
about again spreading their defdma-
lions they will be met with hostility
and contempt

that I don't think that I ever heard
a better report or nicer report than

there has been any willful miscon-

county: Your report shows that they
have been faithful earnest and cap-

think that I ever knew a man who was
more earnest and more faithful in the

THE GRAND JUR': REPORT
The report of the Garfield
County grand jury—the find-
ings of twelve good men kind
true arrived at in a time
when the heat and animosities
of a political campaign played
no part in their deliberations
—constitutes n comoli te refu-
tation of the entire mass of lies
-and misrepresentatiins spread
broadcast by maIicaws propa-
gandists which made possible
the recent Deinoctat:c victory
in Garfield County
It was a N'ic tory 1scd upon
falsehoods and deceits hence
culmiruites a most dis( i editable
chapter in the county's history
Be it said—with much pride
and affection—that not all
Garfield County's people were
deceived T hoe is' a strong
and vigorous minority which
stood like a stonewall against
deception and dishonor This is
IA) their everlasting credit and
will give them conscientious
satisfaction as long as they
'live Many who fell victims to
the deceptions arc already dis-
illusioned They can be de-
pended upon net to make the
same mistake again in fact—
they are already laying plans
to make it hot in the future
for the deceivers
Any alley rat can give voice
to a lie that May deceive the
best intentioned But he can't
get away with it twice—and
he can't dodge the punishment
when his culpability becomes
known
It is always far Iktter to go
down in defeat--with all colors
flying and no cry for quar-
ter—than to make a compro-
mise with Principle or seek
success through Perfidy and
Dishonor
The Eternal God holds the
balance and only the Upright
the Honest and the True final-
ly survive

different from a year ago The March
I report on grain reserves shows a
heavy marketing of wheat before that
date The reserve of cotton also was
greatly depleted There was heavy
marketing also of other grain crops
and livestock all of which had an im-
portant bearing in increasing deposits
and reducing faAnerst loans
Wheat at Chicago is now around
$115 a bushel and cotton has been
selling at from 20 to 24 cents In
