JUDGE BUCKNFR WAS RIGHT
Called the Turn On Local Candidates For
Stateman Color

Called the Turn On Local Candidates For
Stateman Color
Judge Buckner, being asked If he had
any further suggestions on name colors,
said: "Well, / notice that the states
mans color prevailed at the recent cleo
ton.
quite an interest has been manifest
ed by number of people here and else
where over the color proposition, and
have had to answer many questions on
the subject. A number OF persons have
asked for their colors, some desired their
wives colors. Many are curious about
II. Some have secuted the idea, while
many conservative thinkers say, don't
see why your proposition in the main
may not be true and better still men
OF extensive reading and of wide and
varied information, have assured me-
after reading my proposition in the
Eagle, that the theory as to sounds rep
resenting colors, is correct, and that Ii
but empila. ises the truth that there is
harmony in all nature. Some have said
they could hardly grasp the idea. To
those / VIII say, the proposition in its
primary elements is simple. 1t is this:
Color is a sequence of sound, therefore
sounds represent colors, that every vocal
sound fashe. = combination OF coloTs
harmonious with the sound; that the
speaking of a word OF name presents
as many combinations OF colors, in
varying SHADES as the number Of vocal
sounds made IN pronouncing the name:
and form a new combination. which last,
being composite OF all the sound colors
made in pronouncing the name. contains
the colors Of the name.
1T was no part OF the original idea
that sound colors had any significance.
further than as an echo OF the sounds,
reproduced by analogy in colors. Yet
apparently every color has II, character,
and its peculiar significance. That c1ar-
acter being heightened. modified or 9TH
erwise changed by the shade in which II
appears, by its relative position. and by
the other color. and shades combined
with il in making up the colors OF the
name.
Few people realize the influence OF a
name, and the important part il per-
forms in the work CO individual destiny.
A mans name continues part OF him
from the cradle 10 the grave. and by the
force OF its power stamps upon his per-
sonality the indelible zeal OF individual
ity Not alone in the narrow sense OF
convenient designation. but in broader
and more comprehensive sense. it be-
comes part OF his being. influencing his
relation TO himself and to others ss well
as the relation and conduct OF others to-
ward him Il is not meant THAT two per
