WHAT HAVE
THEY TO GAIN?

the presnet time is what have the
Republicans to gain in this coming
campaign? Republicans who ha We
worked for the party for many years
when 1t cost man his life to be one
to say we want the State. We want
to keep out OF the gerrymaudering
d emocrats, who by their laws dis
fr anschised Republicans.

Is entitled TO it, 1t is au unwritten
law in both political parties In this
State to re- e-nominate the member of
Congress. and this practice has not
been departed from, and why sho uld

has said So. lie knows Ball is oppos.
ed to him and has constantly main.

this fight.
The Regular Republicans are sat

live it to be for the best interest Of
| the State to send him back. They
will nominate him and do all in their
power to elect him. If AdJlcks for
| personal reasons, which wi til him
are always paramount, refuses to
permit his party to nominate Dr.
Ball, the consequent defeat of the
Republican party because OF two
tickets and the responsibility will
rest with Addicks, who with his
