an address at the banquet OF the South

that Is To pay the expenses OF the govern

Mr.. w. T. Francis. thanks to the
faithfulness of his friends, was nomin-
ated as a Republican candidate for the
assembly. His vote was quite flatter-
ing as it was greater than five other
candidates, some of whom were old
politicians and we'll known to the vot-
ing public. But the fight has only be-
gun; he must receive more votes on
May LIST than he did at the primaries
to be elected, SO let all his friends con-
tinue to work and if the right sort Of
work is done his election is assured.
There were many voters who did not
vote at the primaries, and many who
voted the Democratic ticket at the pri-
maries who willvote for Mr.. Francis on
election day. Keep up the fight until
victory is won. -.
