not have spoken so flatteringly OF him as
It does this morning. They see and know
that If Mr.. Q. can command any support

from the vote for Mr.. ]. ]. Davis, who Is
now doing noble and valiant;work against

Republican readers examine the card O,
Mr.. Criswell and they will see that he de-
clares that he proposes to move imme-

Jacob and the present Constitution. He
may not have intended so TO say, but It Is
the truth, and so impresses the mind Of
almost every Republican-it so impresses

Mr.. Criswell Is friend Of Gov. Jacob and
against the proposed Constitution he will
and ought to withdraw at once. II Is also
