LETTER FROM SENATOR CROSBY
EDITOR ADvANCE:-In 4 campaign
sheet of Oct: 25th, notice an article
that purpnrts to he from Westside
signed "A Westsider," til It wish to
reply to and ask the gentleman to be
kind enough to sign his name when he
makes statements. ] am not Il candi-
date for any Office and did not know
that was to be tried for any offense
that l may have been thought to have
committed. and | wish to inform the
he may be, in his article states that
" .. ANh AhASN. was CISCkSu bc-
cause got the NEST votes. Many were
cast by Democrats. | stated plainly
that ! would make no pledges aud did
not. ,. 1t is not true thai | worked
with the independents ali through the
session. | worked and voted for meas
nres that | thought just, fair, and for
the best Interests OF my constituents.
3. 1t is true that am opposed to the
,...- ,1t,,.tI 1,e
what seems TO HE good re"sOns for
opposing his election. AS to DR.. Craft
| have nothing to say. He has been
resident Of Mobiles county many years
and is well known. Miss Graves was
endorsed by almost every delegate from
this part OF the county. and believing
her cap:,b!e and also that she will at
tend to the duties Of the office, shall
vote for Miss Maud Graves.
When "a Westsiher" states that l
am working against Mills and Craft
because they are on the independent
ticket or because they are temperance
men. then lie states falsely. AS to the
temperance part. | believe DR.. Craft is
Il temperance man. but as to Mills.
since he visited the Adrian saloon and
treated. | have my doubts as to his be-
ing very solid on that question. And
again. am not against Mr.. Gown be-
cause he is not ''strictly temperate.'
h"t for the reasen we'll known to "a
Wtstsider.' and in fact to almost every
voter in Mobiles county. and if Il
WeStSider' wishes to know the reason
let him ask over Ills own signature.
when will give him the reason whether
my following he great or small.
A. NJ. CROSBY.
DR.. Craft says. in his published state
ment. that he thinks ''he can raise the
starGartl Of the schools.' He has been
in the habit Of using ipecac to raise
things and if lie should forget himself
and try that, wculdn't it te bad for the
schools? Still he may not. Mind you.
we don't charge it on him directly.
We only say that it is not safe to lay
our schools liable to such mistakes.

DR.. Crafts position is that the Office
Of superintendent will have IL more
healing effect GU his eye than his own
medical profession. This is u civ:
away. When Il DR.. gets an idea ,i'a!
there is more healing eff ct in Ollie,
than there is in the medical profession
there is something wrong. 1t makes Il
man feel like trying religion, or moral
philosophy, or botany, or geology on
the tooth ache.
