cry and fraud was perpetrated in 1894
| is a well-knOwn fact, and as member
of the state executive committee | vOt-
| ed to have the primaries all on one day
just to avoid a repetition of the
frauds of 1894 Those frauds suunk in
the nostrils of the party and still stink,
and do not propose to try to defend

against fraud in elections will run me
away from his standard"
Jones sized Up.
From the Savannah News.
The suggestion that Sam Jones will
run for governor for advertising pur-
poses is not we'll conceived. Mr.. Jones
does not need more publicity. He Is
himself a living; breathing advertise
ment; double loaded and displayed
top of column next to reading matter
He is a red INK, type written placard
nailed upon the door of the temple of
fame. He is a photographic herald of
Sam JOnesism, operating with an end
less cylinder and a perpetual spring
He is an animated poster upon the
billboard of the period. He is pa
rade, and band wagon, and tOOts his
own horn. He is not after gratuitOus
advertising for himself.

are some features that will be pleasing
to the masses.

1894, but we are fully satified that Col

him.
