Editor Daily News
After reading the editorial in Tues
days Progress, l am constrained to |
ask If it is one of the objectionable
sins to say anything about the Gulf
& Ship Island Railroad? | merely
ask for information on this subject.
AS far as Mr.. BARRIERS attack 90 on
Congressman Bowers is concerned l
see no connection in that with an at
tack on the Gulf & Ship Island Rail-
road. He did not so mean 1t and Mr..
Bowers loses votes when he tries to
shield himself behind the Gulf & Ship
Island Railroad. He virtually pleads
guilty to the connection when he SO
hides. l am supporting neither candi-
date in this race and SO am with the
Progress on that point. But am not
with the Progress enough to become
blind to facts. It tries to mislead the
voters into believing the Gulf & Ship
Island Railroad is being attacked.
The Progress need not lose any
sleep over the troubles Of the Gulf
& Ship Island Railroad. ] think every
one will agree that Capt. Jones can
take care of himself and his road.
But If Mr. Bowers record in Congress
is an attack on the Gulf & Ship Island
as the Progress says, then | am OF
the opinion that Mr.. Barber is doing
the people service by showing 1t up.
The editorial in question may have
been intended as a boost for Mr.. Bow
ers, but If so, would advise Mr..
Bowers to flee from his friends.
