HERALD,s FALsE POSITION.

The Herald uses till. remarkable ex-
preston:
aThe same elements elected the city
offers who nominated the men for coun-
ty offices rs wen as for Senator and
House Of Delegates for Harrison coun-
IT,"
Now let Us reason together in this
matter. It has only been a short time ago
that the Herald praised Union, Eagle and
another country district or TWO and it
declared the people in those districts
were not influenced in any manner but
voted their sentiments. Taking that to
be the truth, attention is called to the
fact that, while Harmer carried Union
district, C. W. Lynch, whom the Herald
refuses to support for judge, received
more votes than Harmer in this dis
trict. The same is true in reference TO
Eagle district, also ms 10 Elk, also in
Grant. also in Sardis. Again, when it
comes to the House OF Delegates Hay
mond Maxwell received practically the
entire vote cast in a four cornend igat.
That certainly does not Indicate Mat he
!. not the choice of the Republicans Of
the county, and.' since he is the choice
as shown by the vote in every district
Of the county. why can the Herald crowd
not support him? Answer. Then a. TO
Jarrett, the other nominee. j may not
have occurred to the Herald who says it
Is against him. that he got more votes
in those country districts than either
Kyle or Carpenter. gen. in the very di.
tricis that the Herald boosted so much
nbout. Then, why is he not the choice
Of the party, and, If the party does not
want him, way did thees districts give
him such majoritiesl
Sardis district was boosted to the skies
by the Herald becatse it gave Harmer
a majority. Now, this district gave
Hammer ls5 votes, Lynch, 227, Maxwell,
$50, Kyle 80, Carpenter 20 and jarrett
ll9. 1t will be noticed that Maxwell in
a four cornered fight got more votes in
the district than Harmer, and yet the
Herald tries to say that district was
not for him. Rot, Notice Jarrett's
vote, too. He received just one vote
less than the other two combined, and
yet the Herald wants the people 10 be-
lieve that he was not the choice OF the
country people. Go to Elk-anotheF
that tickled the Herald because Harmer
Carried it. Harmer got 30 votes, Lynch
81, Maxwell. Il. Kyle, -, Carpenter. -
and Jarrett. SO. In other words Elk
gave Maxwell - votes more than Har-
mer. Notwithstanding the fact that
Maxwell was in four cornered contest,
and stil the Herald wants the people
to believe that it was the elements
which elected our city ticket tnat nom
mated Maxwell. Also take Jarrett's
vote in that district that tickied the
Herald so much. lie received more votes
than either one of the other two and
carried the district. Then, how is it
figured out that he Is not the choice
OF the Republicans OF Elk distrietg And
since the Republicans of that district
showed that they favored his nomination
by giving him majority, how can the
Herald be a Republican paper to the
Republicans OF Elk district, By not sup
porting their choice? Now follow Ii, H.
Simpson district. uarmer got 81 vote.
Lynch I53, Maxwell III, Kyle -. ca
peuter -. Jarrett 30. Notice tia;
Simpson gave Maxwell more votes in
four cornered fight than Harmer.
Notice again that Jarrett got more votes
than Harmer and more than Kyle and
Carpenter combined 1t Is mere fool
ishness to say Simpson district Repub-
licans did not favor Maxwell and Jarrett,
and the Herald does not represent the
sentiments of the majority of the Re
publicans OF that District, when it re-
fuses to support Maxwell and Jarrett
for the legislature.
1t will be noticed that Lynch
got practically the fun vote and
that includes those of most Of
the men who voted for Harmer
How does the Herald represent even
thee men who voted for both Harmcr
and Lynch. by refusing to support
Lynchy Then this leads to the con
clusion that, ii Harmer had been the
choice that paper would not have sup
ported him. The reason Is that it i
being run in tile interests or Democracy
Having shown plainly by figures jus;
now Maxwell and Jarrett stand in the
districts the Herald said we're free
from faint or corruption. il is proven
clearly that that paper take, false
attitude toward Maxwell and Jarrett
aud that it i not willing to abide by
even the verdict OF the districts that it
praised and in which it declared there
was an honest election.
HERALD PLEDGED TO DEMOCRATIC
RING.
