ferkultys. we will not need the lav
yars ennymore, neether the judge

me bekos it air easier to make to
? * 1
doiars sittm on tne joone ana iwum
wise than it air hoing cotan at on
fifty a day and bord yourself, it i
give up that i is wun of the fines
which ever set on a kase. but box:
the new mersheen?they calls it th
Leeg of Nashans. when you has
diffikulty with your nabur insted c
hirin a lawyer they tells me that yo
ship in and maik up a quarter an
throw it in the quarter hole and th
Leeg will deside the kase while yo
wate. if you and him has a ro1
bout how mutch of the quarter yo
goner put in/and how mutch he ai:
and you say for him to put in fiftee
and you ten and he say no he air th
ten man and you the fifteen, wh
the Leeg will settle hat, jist hoth pi
in the fiftean and the one whitch g
the nickel back kin keep it, if he eve
git it. ,
what i want to know is kin th
Leeg settle a dispute between me a
lizzie and kin. it settle church fusse
bout who play the orgin, and schoc
fusses bout who the best lookin trus
ty, of who gwiner teech the nex
term. i wood like to know too ho^
the desision goner run toards th
nan who doo the payin. say that yo
md i gits in the fuss and i puts i;
;he whoal quarter bout gittin it de
lided, how will it deside, fur the mai
arhitch put in the munny, or will i
jo ginst him.
then agin what about ther poller
icks, they tells me that we will hav<
io moar raices fur offis. that the fel
ars whitch wish the offis will kail oi
he Leeg, and each man will put ii
lis naim and the amount oppersite it
.nd the Leee will maik a turn or toi
Ind out will kum the elecksun of thi
ropar man. if this is trew i i
ginst it. there air sevrul reesim
rhy i am ginst enny aich Leeg. ir

mnny easy, fur instants, say tha
poar farmar air in the grass lonj

at, but has not succeaded, and he ii
joing cotan in the hot sun, and knov
rhear he cood git a nuther man t<

Hick and splsins this whoal thing
Hell the bank will say that it has
^fceened itavlf to let hitt^Ave whai

back, and do the wwk hisself
Hnr this leare the workin man in i
|Bid fix and ther wood be no remidj
Hir this if it were not for pollerticks
Bg>a see when there air sevrnl ranni:
Hftr the offis, yoa git two or three o:
RH)ur simplest nabnrs to tell all th<

di in a little while all the boys ii
lfln on dote far help, well, yoi
ilc ernuther chew of the kandidatei
rbacco, kick the ground wiff youi
;e foot ,look way off and say thai
u wood like to help the kandidat<
it but the work us pressin on th<
rm, and you kennot git off. rit<
ere where you git the munny whicl
e bank did not have, the kanni
ite, he up and say that air simple
Iwill hire a man in yore plase anc
t up a little munny to j>ay fui
ne and expints, so in you goe:
th him and in a little while you i:
;tin your crop wurket out, whil<
u is up town drest up tellin th<
ys how to voat. now if there ar<
mil offises to be filled you kin gi
kandidait out fur evrie offis anc
n bout a three hoss farm in eleck
un yeers, and be up toun all thi
Iie. If you tries to wurk too kan
iaits in saim rais, you must bi
ticklar?wurk wins on the lowei
e of the county and the other 01
s upper, but don't mix 'em.
then there air ernuther reesinj
y i is still fur ther pollerticks. yoi
, we must have churches in thii
e kuntry and they must be pai<
and kept painted, now the ladiei
'ha mina fr> h?ni41p it. nir mi
I this way. we will give a big pick
k at our church and all the fel
i whitch i3 tryin to save the kuntr;
11 be there, arter they is plum ful
fride chicking, the ladies gi
idy fur bizness. now if there ai:
ritch ole kandidat which has no
t in the water mutch yit, we put
n of our swe&test girls arter him
she taik him by the arm and santer c
S round the church and say as how the t
ladies is havin sich a hard time in
gittin up the munny to paint the f
church, or how mutch they needs a o
w new orging to fuss about, and that v
. the mens has cut down the akerage a
rJ (n the crops to help the rubber tire b
I farmers whitch is holdin, and that
the rubbar tires will not give mutch
0 to th echurch, throwin it back on
the poar man, whitch acarries all t
e the lode, and they is not aibel to t
Ig help, and it would be sitch a kind y
kondasentun if sum kind fred wood d
J throw bout nine dolars in the jack g
I pot and surprise the voaters in that ii
kommunity. now if a kandidait has t
^ run sevrul times and has got beet, he t
u will be wise, and he will say that a
^ it mite look like he trine buy the
_ eleckshun if he give too mutch and e
that he will give fiftie sents, but if ^
it is a new man, and he is hot after ^
the offis, he will swaller the whoal ^
bait and say to the sweat girl, hole ^
out vore hands and shet vore eyes *
n and when she open them she will ^
have a ten spot, and the kandidait ^
^ will not know any better till the day ^
arter the eleckshun. "now" that is ^
i wun reesin why i is aginst the Cote x
house ring, we wants to git new
men in the runnin evrie now and agin
0
I that we kin handle, for when they
J stays in offis too long they gets too
' wise fur the wimmin. T

!- ernuther reesin why i is fur .the ?
