Y sensational will not be said here TO
I night. l stand before you firmly con
WINGED that change in administration
is best for the town. / have many
personal friends on the opposition.
t The Law Enforcement ticket exists
/ because Of a well defined feeling that
certain laws have not been enforced
impartially. There is no need to make
charges. 1t has become generally
known what these laws are. If we
, cannot elect officers who can enforce
the law it is entirely useless to form
law and order leagues or other civic
associations for the enforcement of
the law. 1t is because that / believe
a change of administration will benefit
the town that l stand before the bar
OF public favor, promising to enforce
the laws fairly and impartially If elect

Esq. Hayes.
Il am not before you for the pur-
pose of indulging in mud-slinging, or
to attack the character of others or
defend my own" said Esq. George
Hayes, the next speaker. Il have lived
in this city for the past q years and
my character is known to all. Two
years ago petition was circulated
asking certain men to run for alder
men on a Business Mems Ticket.
In accordance with that request l
made the race. l did not solicit a
vote. Mr.. Chaffin led the ticket and
l came next. have served two years. |
l ask you to endorse me. In regard
to my compromising a law suit
and receiving a fee, a charge |
that has been made against |
me, | denounce the story as an in
famous falsehood. Any man who re-
peats it utters an infamous falsehood,
and l believe that the man who start
ed it knew that he was starting an
infamous falsehood. | have heard
that the law is being violated. | do
not know of my personal knowledge
that it has. But where there is so
much smoke there is always some
fire. All of you have heard these
charges Of law violation. That's the
excuse for this ticket. AS member
of the Board supported
one man DR.. Biddle nominal
ed and wouldn't support him I
self. I said to DR.. Biddle, the legisla- I
ture is in session and in two weeks |
you can have the law amended, if {
you have nay doubt as to your right to t
vote for Latta for city marshall His t
reply avs: ct has been hanging fire S
long enough. l am going to put it t
through tonight v
81 have done as much for street i'm q
provement as any man on the Board v
want sidewalks as bad as any man v
on the Board. ! have 300 yards on t
my street that I have been two years |
trying to get paved. Iwant sewerage e

you can't build sewers until you sell e
bonds, and the pepole have got to vote n
On it. The city has no money to build G
hem now and it is foolish to talk h
about such a thing. If elected l will n
vote for bond issue for sewerage, b
md will go as far as any man to get e.
t through | stuck by DR.. Biddle, but
when he went to run again he didn't m
lsk me to get on his ticket. l don't m
Inow why. Dale and Mckinney were j

lsked them to run or not. | have d,
