To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson
 County
 If l have any friends among you, sincerely hope that you will cast your ballots today for Col. E. l.. Higdon, who, by all that is just and fair, is the demo- cratic nominee for sheriff of Jefferson county. l for one do not propose to be bridled by gang who preach democracy and practice theft. I am a democrat, not because my daddy is, but because believe the principles of the democratic party are eternally right Every effort to prove that Colonel Higdon is not the dem ocratic nomine for sheriff or that he is non-friendly to the masses of the peo- pie, and particularly to organized labor, has been a flat failure, and if Jefferson county goes democratic he will be over whelmingly elected today. The yeonanry, the brave and the non-purchasable de- mocracy of Jefferson county and the en- tire state of Alabama is heartily in sym pathy with Colonel Higdon in his gallant fight for democratic rule and white su- premacy Fellow citizens, if such meth-' ods as have been employed by Benners and his accomplices are not resented by democrats where will the democratic rooster land?

 Bob Bell don't know much law but when he asks If Hig- don is elected will Bowman draw the juries? If Higdon is elected will Bowman have charge of the estates of minors and orphans?' He certainly is trying to perpetrate a joke. The Board of Revenue draws the iuries and the Judge of Probate has charge of the estates of minors and orphans. But when he asks If Higdon is elected will Bowman close up the bar rooms and the disreputable dives, I answer NO. I am Bob's friend and were the bar rooms and disreputable dives closed Bob would suffer too great a loss. My personal friendship for Bob would make me vote NO. When Bob wants them he wants them badly and on his account I would vote NO. P. G. BOWMAN.
