ARE STAKE
Emmett Hharp, active candidate for
county corainisaioner, and who never
loses u chance to cop o ff a few votes,
is wondering whether he made a few
vote» the other day and, if he did,
whether or not be made himself liable
under the corrupt practices act for the
manner in which he secured them.
A few 'lays ago— it happened to be
one of tbe very few rainy days which
are so anxiously looked forward to—
Emmett visited the Houthern Pacific
tie plant in tbe interest of the said
enndidacy.
He found in the offiee, Charles
Adams, G. M. Hcott and J. P. Graham.
They suggested to him that it being a
rainy day, to which they were not ac­
customed, and being disagreeable to go
home for the midday mini, it was up
to Emmett, if he really wanted their
votes, to go to his home, only a few
yards away, and prepare for them a
sumptuous dinner. Emmett took the
hint and then and there took their
dinner orders. To make tbe joke good,
the soon to be guests ordered every­
thing which they thought it possible
Emmett would have in the house.
Emmett didn ’t hedge and when tbe
guests arrived at the noon hour, they
found everything from soup to nuts
prepared in style and they “ laid t o ’ ’
with appetites that would have done
credit to working men and certainly
wiere a compliment to Emmett’s cul­
inary attainments.
To relieve Emmett from any em
barrassment winch might result from
the incident, they have announced that
their votes were in on wise influenced
by tbe sumptuous meal served them—
tht they still will vote as they please
— and that they intended all the time
to vote for Emmett.
