Mr.. Fearnside was seen by a repre-
sentative of the Times Union last
night. The gentleman was found
with his coat off, sleeves rolled up,
the top of his head sticking out of a
pile of letters coming in To Bob Davis
from every nook and corner of the
state.
The reporter asked Chairman
Fearnside what he thought of the
situation.
What do Think" replied Mr.
Fearnside. Il know that MT. Davis
will be nominated by a majority OF
5000 over BrOward, was the lac6nic
reply, brief and to the point.
What makes you think this?'

DANNETTE ii. MAYS
Makes Eloquent Appeal in BE
half of Bob Davis.

Gentlemen of Committee:
Please express my regret at hoi
being able to meet the people OF POLK
county today. On account OF my
long absence from my home during
the campaign my presence on my
farm is most necessary.
Saw to the people of Polk county
that I am under lasting obligations
to them for the blended support CIV.
an me in the last primary; that my
debt of gratitude to them rests lot
lightly on me. aud that life will be
far too short for me ever to repay;
that when l last met them my heart
ran high with the hope that / would
be their next governor: that l spoke
to them the purposes Of an honest
heart filled with the determination
to build up our fair state: to make
happier and more conteEded her Peo-
ME. that were l with them to day l
would tell them that there is yet
another before them asking their
support for the high office of COVER
nor-Robt. W. Davis-who believe
will be honest. faithful and true to
your every interest. Nominate nun.
and the "crown of thorns will never
be pressed down on the brow OF la
bor," Nominate him, and the rich
man and the poor man will walk
side by side, each bearing his Just
proportion of the burdens Of govern
ment-each enjoying his full share
Of the property that will surely come
to our state under his wise and pro-
gressive administration. Elect him
then no unfriendly hand will guide
our ship Of state, but one who has
safely piloted the second congress
sional district into democratic har-
Dor for eight years and safely an
chored her there, with no breath Of
suspicion ever aimed at his fair rec
ord. Elect him, then the lands and
the houses. the goods and the chattels
of the people of the state will be kept
inviolate for their use and benefit
forever.
Very truly,
Dannette II. Mays.

The Wherefore of 1t.

This and recent issues of the News
have been loaded to the nozzle with
matter relating to the political con-
test to the exclusion of local news.
But tins issue concludes the neces-
sity. Next Tuesday the issues in
volved will be decided at the polls.
The proprietors do not feel that an
apology is due readers for the politi-
cal character of the paper. But per-
haps an explanation is in order.
The exigency of the times demand
ed that false men and measures
should be shown in their true cOlors.
Certain men seeking high official
station have appealed to passion and
prejudice. They have made their
appeals Incorporating As sheep,
while their public records show them
to be wolves.
The issue in this campaign has
been Patriotism vs.. Demagogueism.
The former has been represented by
men of proved honesty in official
life. while the latter has for its high
priests at least one whose public
record is smeared with the slime Of
questionable transactions in every
office in which ne has been entrusted.
While there remained one man in
Putnam county in danger of being
fooled by the misleading literature
Of this gang Of political freebOoters
the proprietors Of the News have felt
it their duty to give warnings. as well
as the opinions of other and ADLER
editors on the situation.
In our support Of Davis and Talts-
ferro We have simply held before the
public. if not ideal officials, at least
honest men who will do in the future
as in the past, their full duty to the
whole people.
We have done this without pay or
the hope OF other reward than the
consciousness of having performed a
public duty.
Therefore there will be no apology.
