Ryan Too Late For Candidates to Present Assistant Slate Treasurer Bonds. The Tribun«* published an item last week just from rumor, that some of the county political candi dates had not purchased Liberty bonds. The Tribune did not know about lhe matter ami the inquiry was simply thrown out as a feeler. The Albany Democrat of last Thurs day published the list as taken from Manager Hodge»* books. Democrats have a clean score, for all have pur chase«! bonds. J. R. Frum, candi date for sheriff on the Republican ticket, is the only candidate of that party for sheriff to buy a bond. It is n«>w loo late for either of the other candidate» lo buy a bond or bonds; for lhe fwople would look upon such purchase as a resort to catch votes. They ought to have* bought while the buying was good. THOS. F.
