CATTyS CAMPAIGN RECALLS
 THOSE OF LAMENTED SANFORD
Candidate for Congress in Fifth District Makes Votes by His Eloquent and High Toned
 Addresses to the People.

the success of our dead Congres sman, Mir. Catts reached our community Wednesday evening and spoke to large crowd of our most solid and thoughtful citizens. Ills address was along the highest and best lines, giorifying the womanhood and manhood of the country and making his hearers shout that they are American citizens. His speech was in such direct contrast to much of the political ha- rangues heard, that we felt like We had once mo before us Christian patriot and statesman like the iamented Sam ford. Long before he had concluded his eloquent words, the voters had decided to drop the question of a county candi- date and give Eclectic to him solidly. He abused no candidate; he spoke for himself.
 The Fun-Making Hefiin
 Was touched up in great style by Mir. Hare. In the first place, he his right to hope. for the support of Charlie Thompsons friends were prepos- terous. He showed, as many of us here knew, that two years ago Heflin never turned a hand to help the Man from Macon but was believed to be on the other side. He read letter from Hon. W. w Thompson, brother of the dead Congressman, showing that he was for MT. Catts, and saying that all the differ ences which four years ago existed be- tween him and his brother had long ago passed away, and that his brother was very fond of him. He read testimonials from the citizens of Tuskegee, showing their confidence in and support of Mir. Catts. His speech showed us the import arce of consolidating our vote and giving 1t to MT. Catts. He caught the crowd when he asked if the Fifth District was sending a man to Congress to have and to make fun or to be of service to the people.
 In behalf of the voters of this portion of Elmore County, I say to the voters everywhere that we ought to concentrate our forces on MT. Catts and leave the Secretary of State at home to fill the of- flee he now has.
