"The way Of the transgressor is hard, :"
and the same can be applied to the: can
didates, especially our favorite son, Mr..
J. Ed Leech. Mr.. Leech has not had
chance to get around much among his
many friends and ''the boys' In general
and is now at home laid up, with scar
bumper" ON something like that on his
neck. He has our sympathy and asir-
cere desire of his many friends that he
may receive many votes.
The registration officers have been here,
our people have done their duty and
stand prepared to vote for the man OF
their choice. We have, as common
people, q common cause to vote for, and
we shall do so. All those who have serv-
ed their county faithfully and honestly,
need fear no harm. We want officers
who are not only competent to perform
their duties, but who know those duties,
and do them, and who can serve, as an
obedient servant of the people when we
want information and assistance. All OF
this "old political hash" and childish
babble, about imam has had office long
enough" will have no weight with
our Intelligent and enlightened voters,
and only those benighted and cannot
think for self will be led sstray. Vote,
and vote for the man, regardless of his
state politics, who has and will serve you
honestly, faithfully and con scientiously,
and let no man turn you from your path
of duty, on account Of the present animos-
ity he bears for candidate.
