The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1906-09-13

The above letter is produced
here because some designing in
dividuals have sought and are now
seeking to misrepresent me per
sonally; for political gain, by en-
deavoring to enforce the idea that
I had intended only the presence
of a select circle of friends. /
wish to say here and now that any
man or set of men, democrat,
republican, mugwump, independ-
ent, ~"citizen," %insurgent, saint
or sinner, who intimates that
other than the purest motives
prompted the call for this confer
ence is either honestly mistaken
or q base slanderer of one who
has tried always to serve faithful
ly and openly the great party of
which he is an humble member.
A detailed report of the meeting
appeared in the last issue of The
HUSTLER, the object of the call
being stated, with one exception,
that of making a poll of the en-
tire county, by precincts, from a
complete list of all the voters
(Which had been prepared for the
purpose to serve as a basis for
the organization of our forces. I
did not wish any republican to
hear of the meeting and advised
those addressed to "say nothing
about it,"
The letters were sent to every
precinct without regard to person
al friendship, or the slightest
knowledge of opinions upon any
subject of public policy. 1 had
no prepared list for the ninety
copies sent out, haYing only the
precincts in mlnd, and resent the
insinuation that any favoritism
was shown, or intended. AL dem
ocrats were perfectly welcome and
number who received no letter
attended the meeting. Many
similar conferences have been
held in the past, without a word
of protest. But the object for
misrepresentingmyse1 and other:
good democrats in this instance
Is obvious. A blind man can
read between the lines. For my
part, | shall not be deferred from
doing what 1 conceive to be right,
without fear or favor. I will not
permit any Misrepresentation of
myself or the democratic party to
pass unchallenged and denounce
this latest canard a fabrication

Nothing could be further from
the truth. 1 have always advo-
Gated a straight fight for every
office, from constable to president
and need no witnesses to establish
this fact. My record is an open
book. / have never yet surren-
dered my convictions for any con-
sideration and it is too late in
life to begin it now. I have OPP
posed honestly the Citizen

still believe one party or the 9TH

for the conduct of affairs. l
mention this merely to show the
utter absurdity of the suggestion
that political favors control my
actions in any manner whatsoev-
er. I have no word of censure for
those who disagree with me hon
estly, but the utmost contempt
for an individual who has no
regard for the truth and less for
his fellow man.
I regret to have felt constrained
to write thus plainly but feel it
due my friends to nail these state
ments in their insipiency. have
never received anything at the
hands of the democratic party of
Henderson county, nor has any
member thereof assisted me in
securing the recognition that hap
pens to come from the state dem
ocracy. But l have no complaint
to make. / am a democrat from
principle and not for revenue.
The party here has always re-
ceived my earnest support, be-
cause l believed it's principles
were right. 1t can not give every
man an Office, and the fellow who
is holding on for that purpose
solely is lacking in the essentials
which constitute a good democrat.
Democrats may honestly disagree
upon matters of party policy
without the sacrifice of principle,
but they cannot afford to invite
discussions in their ranks by ad-
vocating any scheme which has
for it's object the trafickingin pub
lie Office. These are my views
personally expressed. l do not
assume to be dictator for the dem
ocratic party and have no quarrel
with those who may entertain
contrary views, from honest mo-
tives.
Henry Clay said he would rath>
er be right than to be president
and taking this as a criterion l
will say for myself that l should
prefer to remain in the minority
than to surrender an honest con-
viction. When the people of
Henderson county have had
enough of the present ~extrava-
gance in the management of their
public business they will appeal
to the democratic party for relief,
just as independent republicans
have done in Philadelphia, Ohio
and. Wisconsin. Let us abide in
the "old ship" however severe
the breakers. The right will
finally prevail, all barriers dis
appear and we shall be safely
guided into the haven of peace,
contentment and improved con-
ditions in this grand old county.
Let us be men, sun-crowned, val

ruptible, with no semblance of

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
vhysicians, suffering, as they imagine,

disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-gofng

srate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
bills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant OF tho
