Farmer Ben is feeling pretty good,
thank you. He started out two years
ago to clean up Tawuey on the ground
that he had ceased to properly repre
sent this deestrick. He stood almost
alone and the iftwney lackies and
lickspittles derided him and giv him
the decided grunt. However in the
1908 primary Tawney came down to
the city of Austin, in the Mower coun
ty primay, behind Knatwold and in the
1910 primary was teetotally cleaned out
in the county and the deestrick. If
Buck had ben elected last Tuesday,
it would hav ben given out that Taw
ney could have saved the old First but
when Anderson cleaned up last week
with a majority a thousand bigger
than Tawney's two years ago it put the
lid on the coffin of the last hopes of
brag. The simple fact Is that the peo
ple of thin deesirick was just waitin'
for a chance to express their feel ing6
of resentment and outrage and they
got down to business in the 1910 prim
ary and general. Now we're lined up
where we ought to be.
