Mr.. Cox was stronger u an aniicipa

OF delegates il would be necessary toI
have delegations from Perry, Craw

Let's be fair, and give the public
the truth OF this. On Dec. l. the
writer personzily asked county Clerk
Geo. j. Lindeman TO get a call Tor
mass cony entiOn for the selection Of
delegates 70 New Albany from Any
John W. Ewing, who Is secretary Of
the democratic central committee.
so call was made, and We have not
Received one word from chairman T..
:. tiardnef what wzs done IN the
matter.
IN the Cannelton Telephone Dec.
l23, c. :. Gardner published list OF
delegates, that be himself appointed
and among other thlngs said
Owing 10 the great distance ma
lnv OF the democrats IN thi. county
Sould have TO 20 IN order 70 attend
meeting called Tor the purpose Of
lelecling delegates, snd due 10 the
fact ihat day i OF, l have selected
delegates representing tie VARIOUS
political factions OF the county"
/ The call issued by the State Cen
Itral Com miitee was tha. there should
be a call for the election Of delegate:
Ito the district convention. It's plain
that one man cannot elect, he ma!
1appoint, but be cannot elect. Wher
1.-The State Committee issued that or
'lder. it carried with Il the TACT tha
mass conventions should be calleC
Ito elect delegates.
As stated above secretary Ewinl
Twas notified, and We understand b.
Uniformed Cass Gardner, chairman, o
this fact. After these two othcer
refused to issue the call, the next II
: authority is the central committee
Itself, and eleven members endorsed
call for a mass convention helC
lat Tell City Saturday, Dec. 20 !
! might be well here to say that tn
reason only eleven endorsed the ca

The meeting at Tel City elected del

lcogni1ed as the official delegate
iron this county.
Nothing more was said until Mon

meeting. he knowing that We were
member OF the central committee
And why did be call & mass cOnyeI
ltion2 Why did he not stick TO b
appointments? Had Mr.. Gardn'
published a notice that owing 10 "a

vote, no objection would have Dee
raised. and no call would have Dee

central committee. But bis actic
OF appointing certain ones, and ]
lnoring every body else IN the =ele

and will never be endorsed by q
Perry county democracy. No OF
or two ever could or ever will contr
the democracy Of this county.
