The State Canvass----Lowry
and King at Senatobla.
A special to the V~ickSburg Her
aid says:
"The meeting to day (Sept. 1917
was the largest and most enthusi-
aStic on the part Of the Democrats
since 1875. Lowry spoke an hour
with the finest effect. Colonel KING
followed in a ifty-tive minutes
speech, instead Of an hour and a
halt, his full time, and left the
Courthouse saying he was sick,
and well he might have been.
Lowry closed with an half-hour
speech, literally demolishing King,
The Democrats Of Tate county are
in the finest spirits, as this has
been the finest day they have had
Tor years. There are said to be ma.
ny converts from the Greeuback
party, and Tate county may be
counted safe for the State and the
county ticket in November. The
disappointment in Col. King was
overwhelming, and it is thought if
he ever was a wheel horse in Copi-
All or any county, he should haye
remained in that place. Lowry's
speech was that ola statesman, and
won him friends from all parties.
Kings was only twaddle, about
Uampbell's code, and full vote and
free count, and two anecdotes that
have been told since the days Of
Noah. The sentiment here is that
it is a pity Lowry has to spank such
a small baby with his great big
hand"
