FROM NIX. J. FRANK CONGER
Ne Tells What A Tar BarrcT Poll.
iICIan Did In His Case and
Points 10 What They
SAY ABOUT REPUBLICANS AND NEGROES
Dear Editor RECORD:

A. have Of late heard Of some
inquiries as to what Conger and his
friends are going 10 do. ! can only an
swcr by saying they will do what be has
always done. They have been inereas-
ihE the Republican majority until this
b. Republican county safe and sure.
and that is in short what they viii con-
tnuc 70 DO a. long as the Republican
party believes in majority rule and
stands Tor the fundamental principles
Of government a. i does today. II has
been said by designing persons that !
was sore over my defeat IN the Pm
mary. Why should any Republican be
sore over being defeated by a
Republican.
That Is our faith majority rule, and
We believe when a man gets the votes
that he should have what they call Tor
and Il should not be taken away from
him. Ny people are homes, and con
sevauyc. and when election day
eomes. they without any preiudice CO
excitement 70 10 tovn and cast an hon
ct vote. then n the other party has
majority Ss The vote they will sub
nit because We believe In majority
rule. AZ TO the primary have never
complained a. 10 the way Il was con-
Quoted Every man that got major
ity was declared the nominee. Then
who h there TO complaint A. % the
court house gang As spoken of In the
Press wish 10 say that u simply a
weak effort 10 try 10 make some Re.
publican sore and there is not wofJ
of truth In what the Press says about
H. Nothing like that makes the Re
publeans sore. Thcy haven't forgot,
ten the ISLANDERS and insihuations Of
the Press when We had no paper, and
they haven't forgotten how the Pres
pcrsecutcd Gov. Taylor. Caleb Powers,
and others who wcrc duly elected by
the people but afterwards driven from
the offices hy a set u robbers And
they haven't forgotten that NJ the sam'
election when they had gone 10 th'
polls and cast an honest vote for th'
man u their choice. that a very prom
incn, Democrat Of Marion who. whci
they we're throwing out county aftc
county. SAID in rage, knowing that GA
precinct was largely Republican. "B.
. We viii throw out No, AZ An
they haven't forgotten the letter In IN
Press signcd"waltcr Walker" but wri,
ten by other parties and signed In tha
manner because they knew Walter wa
under age.
We don't forget everything and "
don't want any taffy now from yo
Democrats.
Wsrnnember how you say that Re
pubicahs and negroes haven't got an
sense, when you are in power. IN
Republicans remember the speech ths
Harry McChcsncy made here when h
said he was surprised TO see the pcopl
no pleasantly situated but that he ha
expected To find them going around
skiiTs In the blood that Dcboc ha
caused 10 be shed.
You may say. Poor, one arm,
Morgan knows where his friends ar
and who they are" lie was born an
reared among them.
A. 10 the Democratic nominees, the
are all my personal friends and asiC
from politics they would stand by M
but no longer than would by then
but when was a candidate for rcpr
sentative. they allowed a well know
har { tart a false report on me
urciudh Democrats away from m
who had pledged me their suppor
without my asking Il.
but under the influence Of that MI
and the present Democratic nominee
trey turned away from me. yot
against me and TO this good day ha
not given me any rcasun for not doll
what they said they would 10. Al
