M1nSea, negro fepuoilCdH -'.---------.--''---'o
 You will see that Matthews, the defeated democratic nominee for mag istrate and myself ran together, at each place and that McNeil and the negro ran together.
 An analysis of this vote shows suca a close parallel between the vote at each place in the vote cast for Me- Neil and that cast for the Negro re- publican candidate for justice of the peace, Tom Mingea, as to leave nc uoubt in an unbiased mind that the same or practically the same votes were cast for each.
 This statement of the votes is talen from the returns of the General Elec ton as certified to by the Election Commissioners, and nine tenths of the white voters of Barraque township. will bear me out in my deductions
 Of course this is @ free cGantrE, and a man may do as he pleases so long as he violates no law, but every white man knows the need of party loyalty, in this section, and when a man asks for party nomination he should have a clean record as to party loyalty. and no stain of conf vance however remote with the negro republican element in politics.
 I give this statement out to the Democrats of Jefferson county, so that you may judge for yourselves just how much Mr. McNeil is entitled to your support.
 I have no interests as between the other candidates, but do feel that any man who asks democratic nomi nation, at the hands of his party. should show a clean party record, and not have even suspicion of collision with negro Republicans to defeat re- gular Democratic nominees.
 Respectfully yours for Democratic principles. T. H. FORT. 1929 to 12-1
