To Farmers and workingmen .


portant and responsible offices.
Since Judge Bedford's time you
have not seen farmer in the Legis-
lature. DO you really want farm
er elected If so you can elect
Daniel T. Huckell by your votes.
Can anything be said against Mr..
Huckell truthfully? Do you need
any pledge from him that he will be
true to the interests of the people !!
Does he compare favorably in in
telligence, in honesty, in integrity
of character, i'll usefulness as a
citizen, with any one in this county j?
Are his interests your interests !?
Does he love the hills and valleys
of Sullivan county !? Is he under
any obligations to corporations !?
Can you trust him !? Answer these
questions honestly in your own
minds and then ask them with ref
erence to his opponent.
In everything are Mr.. Huckell
and Mr.. Lull opposed ? One is a
farmer, the other railroad employe.
One is true son of Sullivan county
an owner of her lands, a payer of
taxes, tiller of the soil, the other
is not Of this county, has no interest
in it, owns no real estate here, pays
no taxes worth mentioning and mere
ly is here to obtain an office. One
has his ali invested in Sullivan coun-
ty and has done what he could to
help improve it, the other has his
money out West and has never con-
tributed one cent toward building up
Sullivan county. One is a speaker,
well read, thoughtful, intelligent
man, an educator, contributor to
the cause of education and morality,
the other is shrewd. keen man and
an adroit politician. One has no
fear of Corporations, owes them
nothing, has no friendship or social
relation with any Corporation ofii-
cials, the other is certainly under
deep obligations TO the great Cor
poration which he works for, he
knows and is on intimate terms with
many of the high officials, they are
all for him to man, and il is safe to
say that if elected he will 10 their
bidding.
Now farmers, laboring men and
voters it rests with you. You can
elect Huckell or you can elect Lull.
Huckell is not a politician, not even
the choice OF politicians in this cam :
paign, he is YOUR candidate not
the candidate of the politicians. II
you want him elected put your cross
opposite the worl Republican p"
over his name when YOU 90 to vote
Your ballot is secret the cause is
yours and the candidate elected will
help make laws to govern you.
For Sheriff another farmer is on
.he Peoples ticket. Thomas 5
Simmons is real farmer, a sullivan
county boy. bnrn and raised here and
is now working the farm Of hi

man, and yet one who would not be
terrified by threats or weopens HI
