Between his private secretaryship,
hia mayorship, and his expert sorer-
ship, Hensley’s income hasn’t been
bad the past two years.
There are three candidates for city
marshal. Two of tnein have been

the city to do is to elect the other one

The undeniable lact that an olu
man mub robbed ut fclUOU m a gum-
ling den in m Reno, a lew days ago,
don’t lend lo make the present cny
•dm i nisi rat ion popular.—News.
No. But the preliminary examina-
tion oi U. Rugera w ho was charged
With the robbery in Probate Juuge
Grigsby ’o eoui l Lo day , which result-
ed iti ins dismiss. I because tiie old
than in question ltuled to appear and
preeecute hiui, casts a seriuas sus-
picion upon the truth of the whole
transaction. A man who has been so
deeply wronged generally is willing
to prosecute the offender. Democrat
Of course it is not surprising that a
man ol Hensleys calibre will assume
the role of apologist for and defend-
er ot robbers. The present adminis-
tration is lesponsibie for the exist-
ence of the dives where these rob
beries are legalized and is of cours.
bound to defend them.
Now, as n newspaperman, Hensley
would resent the imputation of wain
Oi enterprise. He would, as the edi
tor of a daily paper rather be guilty
of anything else than of being
‘••oooped” and so we|would not insult
blR> by accusing him of being ignor-
Mlt of the facts in the case and con
Mquently must necessarily conclude
that the explanation given above is a
Willful attempt to mislead the public
lor campaign purposes. Mr. Hensley
knew, or his failure to do so as editor
of a daily, shows an inexcusable lack
Oi newspaper enterprise, that the
toason that the old man failed to ap
pear on the scene at the time of the
preliminary was that he had been
•eared out of the country. That he
bad been given a certain sum of
money and told that he’d better take
that and move on, or they’d have
him indicted for gambling. The old
man was a German, unused lo such
ootiditions, and the ways of the world
Oinong the calss of people he had fal
Jan and bo was the victim of the bint
far as well as of the robber.
But Hensley did charge the city-
83.00 p r bay for overseeing ihe lay -
ing of tile sewer pipes and was at the
same time drawing his salary as
mayor.
Dell Flick enger, candidate, for city
clerk, is in everyway qualified for the
office. He is one of the rising young
business men of the town He is
a clean man and would be a credit
to the city administration.
For the schocl board vote for the
best men regardless of politics. In
the matUrof the selection of the men
who are to run our schools, the whole
duty of the voter is done when he
votes for the test interests of the
schools
Hensley said in his daily last week
in an article in support of W.. L.
Baxter for city attorney, that the city
when involved in important litigation
had to employ legal talent to look
after the city’s interest. Such an
attack on Mr. Maurer was in keeping
with Hensley’s campaign ior law-
lessness. Hensley knew ihat during
Mr. Maurer’s term of office that no
outside legal assistance had been eni .
ployed, but as before stated in u
campaign for lawlessness a lie is as
good as the truth
C. A HANNIsrtk.
U. A. Bannister, republican, c ndi-
daio for police judge iB an old and
respected citizen and a practicing
attorney. He is a man who, if eiecteo
to the office to which he aspires
would make the people a good of-
deer. He would do his duty as it ap
peered right to him and there w »uld
he no buldozing tactics successfully
manipulated.
CHANCE YOUR COAT.
“Hence if we should consider for a
moment that the mayor of El Reno
COULD WITH ANY PROPRIETY WHAT-
EVER enter into a discussion as to
how the town should be run, with an
obscure, notoriety-hunting,one-stand
preacher the reasons given above re-
quire a declination to meet the chal-
enge,” says Hensley in his Democrat
Tuesday.
It might not be out of order to sug-
gest to liis dignified nibs that if the
dignity of his office weighs too heav-
ily he could probably and relief by
temporarily re-assuming the habilia-
nietlte of “Bellamy’s Toad.”
