municafion right before me and you
say t.lal the Mission bottom faction
Of the primary vote was 167. Still L
look oyer this statement as i think
YOU are having another one of those
spells, caused, ] think, by too much
precinct lines on the brain. You say
the Judges allowed Democrats, Pop
lulists. non residents to vote, and also
foreigners to vote. Now IT is very
easy to make sweeping charge,
but you cant name a man that was
challenged by NJ. l.. Jones, and the
Judges allowed TO vote, but what
was A lawful voter, and ] guess he
challenged them about all; for he
challenged my vote But then, per-
haps, he thought the county court
had held an extra session, to act on
his petition to put us In the Fairfield
precinct; and right here, let me state
that Judge Hubbard tells me that NJ.
l.. Jones came TO him and made him
promise IL we brought In a petition
TO change the precinct lines, that he
would send him word, aud let him
defend lt. He went secretly and un-
beknown to us, and circulated a peti-
tion, to put us Bottom fellows out Of
the precinct, so we would have to go
from eight to twelve miles to vote,
and sent his petition up to the county
court, and tried TO get them to hold
an extra session, to grant their petit
tlon unbeknOwn to us. The very
thing that they asked Judge
Hubbard not 10 do tO them they
tried their utmost TO get him TO
do to us; these are facts; you dare not
dispute them. Judge Hubbard VIII
certify to the same. Talk about
dishonesty, corrupt judges and etc,
what do you call that MrJ. B. Jones?
Is that the teachings Of the Blessed
Master that you profess to be n
follower OF? Don't the good book say
''do unto Others 'as you would have
Others do unto YOU"
Mr.. Jones attacks Mr.. Chapman, Mr..
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Shaw in II
shameful manner, for one who claims
TO be minister Of the gospel. Now
four years ago Mr.. Chapman was the
Jones faction candidate for county
treasurer, two years ago their dele
gate to thescOunty convention. A. G..
Perkins was on their ticket and was
elected, Mr.. Shaw was also on their
side, these were all honest upright
men then surely, or they would not
have put them on their ticket. Does
IL necessarily make them dishonest
because they see their mistake and
stand in with us. But the Jones fac
tlon have been in the habit Of falling
out with and villifying every one who
stands in with us. They don't give
us credit for haYing honest upright
men on our side; not SO with us, they
have just as true honest upright men
on their side as we have on ours, but
when they understand the true in
wardness Of this precinct business
they will leave them (which they are
already doing like rats leaving a
sinking ship.
Mr.. Jones says 70 percent Mission
Bottom faction did not vote the Re
publican ticket two years ago, Now
that is bold assertion;''he knows
well that he can't prove IL. There Is
no known way TO tell how many votes
u faction casts at an election, Il is
unfair 10 make such sweeping
assertion; the fact OF the ease is this
our average at primary two year age
was about 80 votes, take 75 per cent
of from that leaves l3 votes. Now
will Mr., Jones stand up before the
people of Marion county and try L
make them believe that only l3 out OF
80 of us voted the Republican ticket
two years ago, I'VE also are fairly
known in Marion county, There wa.
no kick coming from us, the ticket
could not have been any better. w,
did not 20 bowling around like
sore heads trying TO beat the Republi
can ticket which you are doing, Mr.
Jones further say As OF our faction
will not vote for Mr. Chapman il
