ago. At that time he gave them
to understand that, if he were

had no power to make any such
radical change in the constitution
of the State, and he knew it
but he fooled many people and
secured the Office he sought.
Nov he is endeavoring to i'm

have repealed the odious eff

The majority of the voters Of
our hill counties may be simple
folks (near to nature and to ia

OF but little education, and they
may appear "dead easy" to a pol

right for the rights sake, and
they should and will resent The
insult to their inner conecious'
ness and rebuke the insulter as
only an office seeking politician
can be fittingly rebuked.
