turned down in the state convention at
Macon. where the gentleman. now
so prominent in this compromise move

our list Of voters does not cover the

I'VE have" the Liberal Club man added,
the evidence TO prove, and will use it at
the proper time with telling effect, that
nearly so per cent. Of the imported voters
OF the Citizens Club have been improperly
and illegally registered, and we do not
propose to passively permit this attempted
outrage on the rights Of our people TO go

give names and dates showing how ciu-
zens already registered in our nelghbor-
ing counties have been induced to register
here in the interest OF the club; and at
the proper time / will give the public an
inside history OF the present political con
test that may be instructive. even though
disgraceful."
