The Record has taken some pains
to ask old timers regarding the "po-
litical history" article in last weeks
Register-Tribune, and all who have
read, and who are in any way inter
ested politically or posted, say with
out exception that it is a mass of in
a~ccuracies. Most all condemn it in
strong language, and call it dirty, low
down politics. The whole purpose
of the article was to take a stab, in
the back, al Mr.. Gayle, and a few
side thrusts at other old time Demo
Gratis and leaders of the party for a
number of years in Chaves county.
If Mr.. Mullins wrote that article it
should be known; and it should and
will condemn him with every fair
minded person. If he did not write
it, and the editor of the r. t. is the
author, then the dullest Democrat in
the county should begin to see, as
many lave seen, the disturbing ele-
ment in the Democratic party here.
