That Convention
Wha4 One Republican, Thinks About the Re-
cent Republican County Convention.

jority control when the question of
court house bonds were submitted to
the people some time back. Was that
not an extravagant expenditure of the
peoples money? Did the democrats do
it? Did the will of the people control?
I am more than sure the democratic par
ty is not the party of extravaganza in
Henderson county because they have
never had the reins in their hands fur
ther than a board of commissioners
years ago, and then the county was in
much better shape than today. County
paper was worth one hundred cents on
the dollar and paid too. Now it's hard
ly worth anything; cannot even pay
taxes with it. Are the democrats re-
sponsible for it? I hardly think so.
Something is worse than rotten. Will
the present crowd unveil things and let
the honest toiling people take a fair
view.

the Times man came very near getting
the stuffing fixed up, didn't he? zone
alternate voted not knowing his princi-
pal had voted" Honest intelligentp
pie, do you4believe this? The Times
man was very careful not to say har-
monious convention and also forgot to
mention the fact that new set of tell
ers was demanded by the audience.
Now to all honest, reminded, think
ing people, are you going to be whipped
up to the polls and vote for this ticket
as nominated, or will you demand your
rights? Now think what you are doing
and see if you are voting your true and
honest sentiments. Are you going to
vote according to your own wishes or
will you vote according to the wishes of
the ring crowd? believe in man be-
ing honest, free and independent and
using his own thinking box, and not
other peoples. \
Part of this ticket will do very well
a and you can afford to vote it, If you

you cannot vote. have heard.it said

able to look after his own business for
years will certainly not look after yours.
