BY Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them.
We do not wish to enter into any
discussion of the charge CD that Mr..
Bowers is not a Democrat OF the pur-
est type, because his whole political
life, known of all his fellow citizens,
gives this the lie; nor do We care to
discuss how little Judge DeavonrS
ever contributed to the success # The
Democratic party, for we are informed
that it is equally well known, at least
in Jasper and adjoining counties, that
V bile Mr. Bowers was dealing stalwart
blows for Democracy and Democracy's
cause, the Judge was "sulting in his
tent" and If not sulking, then what
was he doing?
In view of the fact, however, that
some "mudslingers" of the present
campaign have questioned Mr.. Row.
ers Democracy (Which the records
show to be of the purest ray serene),
information as to the judges long %
political career might be important at
this juncture.
A clean political record is as neces-
sary in one candidate as it is in the
other. Bowers has shown his faith by
his works.
His political record is a part Of the
Democratic partys history-county,
district. State and national.
Can the judges friends say as much
for him? They claim for the judge
great ability and talent and the two
men are practically OF the same age.
VIII some of the papers which are
so disturbed about Mr.. Bowers De.
mocracy please give us Judge Dea-
YOURS political record prior to his ap-
pointment as chancellor? Will they
tell us, for we are anxious to know,
how many Democratic speeches the
Judge was making, how many State
conventions ht was attending, how
often he placed his talent and
purse at the service of his party to do
battle for her sacred principles?
In other words, what has be con-
tributed to the history of the Demo-
cratic party in the State or counties
in which he has resided? How often
las he stood with the mighty men Of
Jasper" against the Republican party
and negro rule?
Since the Laurel Chronicle has die
covered that it is the duty Of Demo-
cratic congressman to head a mob
and rid an afflicted community In his
district of negro postmaster, will
that paper advise the people of the
district about how many mobb, of
such character the judge either led
or followed during his political life,
and what guarantee is given that he
will go in the mob business should he
be elected?
We are not making these inquiries
for the purpose of rejecting on the
Judge, but simply to bring out his ro-
litical record, IL he has one. If it is
good record we will cheerfully give
him the credit to which he is entitled;
il It is not he will be forced to stand
on it just the same. We have made
diligent inquiry about the records Of
the two candidates, and up to this
time can report only as shown below.
