Berwyn for county commissioner. Mr.
Young said his endorsement Of Mr..

and what position hc feld in Dcmoc-
racy.
II think The action of Mr.. Scivally
in making the accusation that my en-
dorsement of Mr. Suggs was unfair.
is one of the unfairest charges of the
campaign. n Is a mott able fact that
chairmen Of the Democratic commit
tees of the new state have repeatedly
endorsed candidates for Office signing
their nar1a to such endorsements.

Mr.. Young. The paper In which Mr.

This Enforcement is signed by L. G.
Nihlack territorial chairman, and
