Political note from the Clayton Enter
prise: They are dying hard, and last
weeks News pictures them in the last
throes of their Justly deserved agony.
They are bleeding inwardly because they
Intentionally, knowingly and with malice
aforethought assassinated the Democratic
party of Union county. The Democratic
party can't begin to notice them with
such record and the Union party has to
hold its nose when any Of their names
are mentioned. They are simply stencil
IN the nostrils Of all honest voters in
Union county, and their roll Of cosely
shaved wolf scrip will not elect them.
