A Man OF Conscience--Loyed Principle Bet
ter Than Party-Some Facts
About the Beers,

tory remarks Mr.. Davis said:
What strange things happen
in this world! One year ago 1
did not think l would ever be
standing before an audience ad-
vocating the election of Dem
ocrat. But there are reasons
for this sudden change. There
has never been a time when
greater questions confronted
our people. The greatest ques-
tion is, shall this Republic go
on and on down through ages,
ever doing good or shall it be
changed into an empire? Shall
this mighty Republic become
the tail of the British kite? L
for one say no! Great Britain
never has been a friend to this
country and never will be. L
have left the Republican party
for good and I ask every Repub-
lican here to come and join me.
Will you do it.
Il went to South Africa last
fall to visit an American friend
and find out the true situation
down there. The news from
the war was censored so close
ly by the English officials that
l suspicioned the outside world
could not be apprised OF the
true situation. When 1 reached
Cape Town the English told me
| must not attempt tour of the
Republic as would certainly
be shot by the Beers. That did
not deter me one bit as you
know have had some eXper-
ience in shooting before" This
was said in such a serio comic
way that the crowd understood
Mr.. Davis meaning and great
laughter was hcard.) Il then
received an invitation to visit
the Boer capital and a more
magnificent reception was ever
rendered anyone. Why, bless
your lives, those Beers could
speak English just as well as
you or 1. And then l thought
what a set of liars those English
in Cape Town were!

their blankets over me that L

sional Committee adopted prior
to the recent congressional con-
test in the Second District each
candidate was permitted to Sc
lect the Congressional Commit
teemen from the counties he
carried. Prior TO the primary
election each candidate agreed
to waive that right and permit
the conventions of the various
counties select their Com mittee-
men. This Judge Rucker did.
Mr.. Mansur carried only his
own county, Livingston, and
selected the Committeeman from
that county. In Monroe county
the convention adjourned with
out making a selection. After
the convention had adjourned
and many delegates had left
the building several persons
held caucus and selected j.
W. Atterbury Jr. political en-
emy to Judge Rucker, for the
position. While Judge Rucker
was not bound in any way TO
ratify the caucus nominee he
has done so which only goes to
show that he is not the Mark
Hanna kind of a politician his
enemies try to paint him, but is
magnanimous and that he will
ratify what his political enem.
les in his own party do when his
friends fail TO act. Judge
Rucker is mau among men and
can always be depended upon
doing what the greatest num-
ber of Democrats advise. Judge
Rucker would much rather have
had political friend than a
political enemy as a committee
man from this county and it
should have been so but the
largest endorsement any one
person received for, committee
man was received by Atterbury
at the Paris caucus which was
called and controlled by Judge
Fuckers enemies and conse-
quently they uamed an anti
Rucker man. Judge Rucker
relies on the justice and intelli-
gence of the people, and even
though our committeeman may
be his political enemy he fears
no harm. This District has new
er had a better. more able or
more useful member of Congress
than is Judge Rucker.
