DEFEAT FOSTER

A prominent Union Republican said
this morning that an effort IA being
made by certain Union 10 defeat James
w. Foster candidate for sheriff at
Saturdays Republican primaries He
said that the Unions who are opposed
TO party harmony and want two state
and county tickets and were against
the harmony State Convention, claim
that had 1t not been for Foster voting
against Addicks at the last two meet
ings OF the Union Republican State
Committee, the harmony proposition
would have been defeated, and there
would have been no coming togther Of
the factions. The harmony proposition
was carried by one majority. and Ad-
dicks and his radicals say Fosters vote
did 1t. and they now propose to punish
him for it. He also said that had Fos-
ter voted as Addlcks wanted he would
get the solid Union Republican vote I'm
this county. Such arguments and tac-
tics ought to help Foster with all loyal
