MR. BOWIE WANTS
 FAIR ELECTION
Makes Proposition to the Re-
 publican Nominee
REPRESENTATION
Suggests That He and Ills Opponent Select a Manager Each and Let the County Officers Select
 the Third One.

Anniston. September 1s. - Especially = Hon. Sydney J. Bowie of this city, deIn- ocratic nominee for congress from the Fourth Congressional district, has sent a letter to J. A. Edwards of Talladega. offering a plan by which both candi- dates can be represented at the polls in the coming election and bring forth a fair election.
 The letter is as follows;
 Annlston, September 19. 1902. Hon. J. A. Edwards, Talladega, Ala:
 Dear Sir: notice you have been nom- mated by the republican party as their candidate for congress in this district. I am the democratic nominee for the same position.
 Section 1888 of the code of Alabama contains the following;
 "rhe judge of probate, sheriff, clerk of the circuit court, or any two of them, must. at least thirty days before the holding of any election in their county, appoint three inspectors for each place of voting, two of wnom shall be members of opposing political parties, if practicable" ,"
 The new constitution was intended to secure fair elections and white suprem- acy by law. believe 1t has accomplished these most desirable ends. 1 believe that the next election will be fairly held, and the votes of every quarfied voter honest ly counted as cast. | think there is no disposition to do t<Kr~ Misc in this district CT state.
 At the same time one of the safest and surest guarantees of a fair election, which would remove all suspicion. would be to give the opposing political parties such representation as would be satisfac- tory to them.
 l therefore suggest that you sign a joint letter with me addressed to the judge of probate sheriff and clerk of each county In this district, requesting that in the appointment of managers at least one in each precinct shall be ap- pointed from a list furnished by the re- publican executive committed. and at least one shall be appointed from a lis furnished by the democratic executive of each county, respectively, and the third inspector to be selec.ed by the probate judge, sheriff and clerk, so that there can be no complaint from any quarter on tliis subject.
 Personally I have no doubt that the appointing officers in each county will faithfully comply with and carry out the provisions of the statute above quoted. gers from lists proposed by the respective committees of each party would be the surest guarantee that could be offered of an absolutely fair election. Yours very truly, SYDNEY J. BOWIE.
