Why Should |
Support Haswell?

The Breckenridge Democrat, says ed
itorially to the Breckenridge News:
use some of that space in telling us
what vailed reason you have for sup
porting JohnP. Haswell, Jr., as against
DR.. P. w. Footel"
Now while we do not wish to speak
up and answer for the Breckenridge
News, as it can do that, no doubt, for
itself, we do wish to answer for our
selves, as it is a question that should
address itself to every voter in Brock
enridge county, and is both a pertinent
and impertinent question.
First, we are for John Haswell, be-
cause we are, always have been and
always will be for fair, honest and de-
cent elections.
Are you DR.. Foote? Are you Brock
enridge Democrat? Are you Mr.. Voter,
who expects to vote for DR.. Foote'
If so, on what are you relying, if any
thing, and on what are you basing your
hopes, if you have any, of DR.. Foote' S
ele6tion3
Surely not on getting the most votes,
fairly and honestly, when Breckenridge
county is to start with from $50 to 800
Republican majority practically all of
whom are for Wilson and Haswell at
this time, and added to this are easily
are 500 good Democratic citizens who
will refuse to support the machine
ticket.
We are for Haswell, because we are
in favor of the repeal of the infamous
tax warrant law that taxes the poorest
Taxpayers in the county, in a single
year, approximately 81, 900, for the ben
eft of two county officials, for no other
reason on earth that can possibly be
discovered, unless it be to reimburse
them out of the taxpayers pockets for
services rendered and campaign funds
contributed to secure the election of
certain representatives who otherwise
would never have been able to vote for
one Judge Paynter for the United

DR.. FOOte Sees a Great Light

Do Hager, for Governor Tyler for
Mayor and Dr. Foote, for Representa-
tive, stand on the same PLATFORM
HaGer says that he is his own plat
form, that he stands on his record and
that Of the Beckham administration, aud
is in favor of the County Unit Law and
the Sunday closing laws.
Tyler is in favor of the repeal of all
temperance laws and particularly the
Sunday closing laws, and whether they
are repealed or not will:openly violate his
oath of Office and the laws that he swears
to enforce. Tyler is Hager's ca didate
for Mayor as against Bingham, who was
in favor of putting the lid on.
A part of the record that Hager stands
on, is that infamous revenue law, that
taxes everything in sight. provides for

States Senate, as against one J. c. S.
Blackburn, Notwithstanding the prom
Use that they would be governed by the
wishes of their Democratic constituents
when in fact two-thirds of their con-
stituents were for Blackburn.
We are for Haswell because we are
in favor of the repeal of that obnoxious
registration law that is a constant
source of annoyance to all good citi-
zens who happen to live in town; which
was passed for no other purpose than
that of making votes and registration
certificates legal sender for all debts
public and private, and as a further
means of making corruption and bri-
berry easy
We are for Haswell because we are
against that damnable proposed amend
ment to the Constitution, that is in
tended to make tax receipts legal ten
der for all votes public and private, as
it now does registration certificates.
We are for Haswell becau use we are
against that part Of the revenue law
that taxes all kinds of legitimate bust
ness by charging them a license to do
business, Notwithstanding those things
taxed are as honorable, as necessary
and as respectable as any other bust
ness not taxed.
We are for Haswell because we are
against one of the most corrupt and I'M
scrupulous machines that ever cursed
any State, and one that is no respector
OF persons, and steals from good Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans.
We are for Haswell because we have
a perfect right to be, because we are
for what is right and against what is
wrong.
We are for Haswell because he is one
of the most capable, one of the cleanest
and best equipped young men in the
State for the position.
l beg leave to subscribe myself,
Very respectfully yours,
A Citizen and Voter.

Of two dollar tax warrants, against the
tax payers in favor of certain county
officials; he therefore stands on this,
favored it at the time, and still favors it..
DR.. Foote, on the same platform, after
the Republican state platform, resolu
tions in conventions and Republican
speakers all over the state, had con-
demued it for q months; and five
months after his nomination, suddenly
sees a great light and comes out in a
card favoring its repeal.
Doctor, don't you think you and the
local politicians who advised you to
write that card are about thirty minutes
late. A VOTER.

DIR. Milton Board Has
Narrow Escape.
Sincerely Yours,
S. c. Bates.

DR.. Milton Board had a narrow
escape from death Wednesday morning
near Louisville.
The private car of Hon. VIM. J.
Bryan, which was trying to make up
for lost time was running at sixty miles
an hour. DR.. Board was standing close
to one of the large windows when the
car gave a sudden lurch on a curve,
throwing him with great force against
the window, breaking it into athousand
pieces. DIR. Board hungin the air for
an instant and those who heard the
crash and saw his position expected to
see him hurled through the window.
There was nothing for him to catch
to and the others were. unable to assist
him. The car gave another lurch
throwing DR.. Board in the opposite dir
ection against the dining table, which
was all that prevented him from falling
out side the car and being killed.
