 'To whom it may concern:

 Some time in October last a document was handed us to sign by an appointee of Gov. Davis, which document stated that cer- tain parties therein named were negroes. Asking the bearer why he wanted such statement, he replied: I don't know, but I think MT. Norman Gas. C.. Norman) wantsssit to straighten up some land matters.
 Knowing the parties to be negroes and without the slightest idea of the paper being a politi- cal trick we signed it.
 We are now informed that some of these.negroes were jury men when Judge c. D. Wood was judge of this judicial district, and since we have been inad- vertently drawn into publicity in the campaign, and being warm supporters of Judge Wood, we deem it nothing but justice to him as we'll as ourselves to say that when he was circuit judge of this district he was advised by leading Democrats to appoint one negro jury commissioner in order that the Democratic party might get some of the negro oterwhich would have carried the district Republican had they voted solid ly with that party.
 We have received more than one letter since this gubernator- ial campaign opened stating that Gov. Davis was claiming our sup port, and asking us if this state- ment was true, hence we take this method of denying the charge and announcing openly and unreservedly our intention of supporting that noble, self made Christian gentleman, Judge Carroll D. Wood, the product and pride of Ashley county.

 We and each of us state that we were familiar with the con- ditions existing at the time of Judge Woods incumbency as cir cult judge of the Tenth judicial district of Arkansas and know that his action in appointing ne- gro jury commissioners was ad- vised by the leaders of the party here and was to the best interest of the party.
