Why we Should Support This
Ticket.


The above is the heading of circular
issued by the Citizens ticket and which we
herewith publish,
MoD. RAY.
We should support Med. Ray because
he stands for the reforms that are neces-
sary for the welfare of the whole peo-
pie of Henderson county. With our
eyer increasing taxes the indebtedness
of the county is growing heavier year
by year. Med. Ray is pledged In the
Citizens platform, and If elected, wiz
carry out policy that Will not only
prevent the increase OF, but In COM
paratively short time wipe-Out, the pres
ent Indebtedness of the county. His
opponent stands supporting the same
old bankrupting policies of the court
house ring. And that opponent when
in the legislature aided in enactng two
laws affecting the people of Henderson
county. One of them practically legal
lied drunkenness in the town OF Hen
dersonville, the other created and COM
bined the Office of treasury with that OF
the sheriff and increased the sher1Hs
salary sixteen hundred dollars year,
the taxpayers footing the bill. Against
such partial and contemplate legisla-
record of Med. Ray as Superintendent
of Education stands out in bold relief.
| The improved condition of the public
schools under his management TESTIFY TO
his worth and recommends him for the
support of the country people.
v. O. v. SHEPHERD
Support v. G. V. Shepherd because
| he stands shoulder to shoulder with
those who are fighting for the better
| ment of the people of the entire county.
He is in favor of square deaP' in
politics as in everything else, and be-
iieves that the rights of the country
people be respected equally with the
rights of the petted minions OF the
court house ring. OF his own choice he
| would not be candidate merely for the
emoluments of the Office. He is fight
ing for reform, apd when he has put his
hand to the plow he will not turn back,
as did his opponent. This apponent ap-
pealed to the anti-ring element to nomi-
nate him for sheriff: he came out
against ring rule. and a few weeks later,
for fear he might be indorsed by the
Citizens he publicly denounced the
elements to which he had appealed and
did it through the ring press. Against
II such, a course the honest, fixed, un-
wavering purpose of V. {. V. shepherd
shines out in bright contrast.
i LUTHER ANDERSON.
We should support Luther Anderson
, because he represents the honest, pro-
.I gressive young nanho0d Of Henderson
county, because he believes IN clean,
honest politics and stands boldly and
I fearlessly for the right. Being q teach
7 er, he stands for the upbuilding of the
community; living in the country he is
, a friend of the country people, knows
: their needs and will ever be found fight
ing for their interests. Against him is
, an opponent who>has ignored the ex-
+ ample of Washington, and by the in
fuence of an organization at his COM
; mand, has held an Office for genera
& tion with the discontented murmur OF
= the people ringing in his ears. Ever
posing as the friend of the people on
/. one hand, on the other he has embraced
! and stood by thai political combination
q that has so disgracefully dominated the
d party to which he belongs. In contrast
| with such policies as this, the square,
" clean principles advocated by Luther
d Anderson will appeal with telling force
y to the honest, intelligent voters of Hen
e derson county.
y G. F. CLARK.
IF We should support G. F. Clark be
q cause we owe it to the court house rine
1t to elect him the next register of deeds
of Henderson county. In 1894 she wa!
candidate on the republican ticket
&c That ring had the control of the county
lie organization, and could have controlled
b almost the entire party vote and electet
\ him by large majority, but as he wa
not pet of that combination they 81
~ lowed him to go down in inglorious de-
is feat. For that breach of faith with q
10 candidate who would have made q cap
able and honest officer, that ring shoul(
be wiped out of existence. He is /
IL friend of the country people, an ex
perienced teacher and has every abiIi
ty to make an efficient officer. On tn
other hand his opponent is general
supposed to be physically unable to at
tend to the duties of the Office. and
the event of his election we should /
all probability be served by an office
of not elected by the people but appointe,
bo by that court house ring. To insur
the efficient discharge of the duties {
l the Office we should support G. F. Clarl
OF DR.. GREENWOOD.
We should support DIR. Greenwoo
Oh because he stands for the welfare of a
'st the people, as against his opponent VII
[c- stands for the welfare of the court hou
", ring.
ra THE COMMISSIONERS.
IL, We should support the men nomin,
er ted for commissioners on the Citizen
pe ticket because they are pledged to q
economical policy in the administrs
"0 ton of the affairs of the county. The
Z. are not under the influence Of nor wi
they be directed by, any ring or organ
zation. Their opponents are under Il
is influence of the ring, and are standin
i'll by the policies that are dragging th
10. county into bankruptcy and rui
:. Against these extravagant policies '
aC should support the candidates of I'll
al Citizens ticket.
