THE FACTS ABOUT THE
JOHNSON COUNTY LEG
TURE.

We see from Congressman Ed
wards card to the voters OF the
District" (not the Republican
voters OF the District he alleges
that his opponent, Caleb Powers,
received $500 for making po-
lltical speech at Paintsvillc last
fall. The only evidence he pro-
duccs to prove his charge, is, two
letters written by some unknown
citizen, who signs his name, "A
Johnson County Republican.
There is no way for the Public to
know who the writer of the let
tiers are; there is no way to know
at what place they were written.
These two letters may have been
written at London. or Comerset,
or Washington City. no one
knows. They may have been
written by Republican, or a
Democrat. no one can tell. They
were written, OF course, for the
purpose OF injuring the candidacy
OF Caleb Powers for Congress.
The Public knows. too. when anv
citizen steps out into the political
arena and issues statements for
the purpose OF injuring some can

are assured that he is a prominent
Republican, but we have seen
nothing to show that he is either
reputable or honest. His con-

name to the letters he writes, so
the Public may know whether or
not his past life speaks anything
of truth, for the statements he
makes. And, yet Congressman
Edwards quotes with approval,
and publicly endorses this char

on his opponent. Mr.. Edwards.

and relies upon this mysterious
and unknown citizen possibly a
Democracy, for his authority.
The truth of the matter is, that
Caleb Powers was out last fall
doing what he could to help the
Republican party along. and do
ing it, without pay and without
price. At the instance, of the Re

EDWARS is NOT A NATIVE
KENTUCKIAN.

While we have nothing against
foreigners, and while every State
in the land and almost every
country i'll the world, can point
with pride to useful services on
the part of distinguished sons,
yet we would not have true pride
OF country and of home, unless we
stood BY our own native sons in
contest between them and those
of foreign parts. Congressman,
ID. {. Edwards. is not a native
kentuckian. He was born in
the west; reared in the state of
Kansas and did not come to this
State. or District, until April,
1892 or in other words. until Ed
wards was thirty-onc years of
age.
Caleb Powers, on the other
hand, is not only a native son of
Kentucky, but was born and
reared and has always lived in the
Eleventh Congressional District.
He ought to know, and does
know, the needs of our District
better than one not native to our
soil.
1t has been said of us that we
are ignorant mountaineers, a
horde of criminals and an UNI
worthy class of citizenship gener-
ally. We resent the SANDER: we
hurl the imputation back into the
face of the accusor. Our people
have as fine minds. as noble char
acters, and are as intelligent, true
and loyal, as any that the sun
sees. There is not a County in
this District that does not have
within its borders, men amply
qualified, by breeding and birth,
head and heart, brains and Drawn,
tive in the National Halls of
up useful and exemplary citizen,
to make us a decent representa-
tive in the National Hall of
Legislation.
Are we forced to go out of our
district and State in order to get
man capable of making us a fit
representative in Congess? Do
we have to borrow material from
Kansas? Will we confess by
nominating a foreigner over one
IF our native sons that we have
with sense enough, and |
ability enough, to properly repre-
sent us?
Are we going to make that con-
session to the world and confirm,
n a measure, at least, by our own
the false things said |
lbout us? What encouragement
would the fathers of this County
give to their sons, if they should
Jay to them, by their votes, that
t matters not what your qualifca-
ions may be, we will never elect
me OF you to an Office in this
country, so long as we are able to

enlargement would the fathers

Iuct and by their votes, that no

up again and said to him that they
would pay Powers $500 if he
could come to Paintsville and de-
liver his lecture. An effort was
made also to get him to come to
Pikeville, but that matter fell
through. Caleb Powers did go to
Paintsville; he delivered his lee
ture, ont political speech. 1t
was the same lecture, in the main,
he had delivered all over the coun-
try for pay; they did pay him
$500 for doing it. Mr.. Powers
has received that much elsewhere
for his lecture. He got that much
at Knoxville, Tennessee. He says
in all of his public speeches that
if he don't go crazy, and if the
people OF Johnson county want
him to come and deliver another
lecture, and if they will pay him
that much again for doing it, he
will try to accommodate them.
No sensible man would ever re-
fuse to take that much for a lee
ture if he could get it. Nobody
can certainly blame Mr.. Powers
for that. Nobody has ever offer
ed Congressman Edwards, $500
for making either a political
speech, or delivering a lecture ;
his services are not worth it. He
is unable to get an audience when
no admissions is charged, and
TO interest the few, who
do turn out to hear him. Caleb
Powers says il was lecture he
delivered. He says he made the
to delivcre the lecture
with Congressman John w. Lang
ley, whose home is at Prestons-
burg, Ky. Now, if Caleb Powers
is wrong about that, let the Ed
wards crowdh produce a state
mcnt from Congressman Langley
contradicting Caleb Powers on
that point. Caleb Powers don't
give, as his authority for what
was done, some unknown John
son County Republican, he gives
the name of a reputable and hon
orable gentleman. He gives Mr..
Edwards the chance to prove his
charge that Caleb Powers was
paid for political speech, and
lot a lecture. Mr.. Edwards will
not prove it. Caleb Powers is
light, and Edwards is wrong.
Powers deals with facts; the
other side in empty assertions.
This unknown Jackson County
ctter writer and Mr. Edwards.
who indOrses him, try to make it
appear that Caleb Powers, when
lie got to Paintsville, was in CON
,ultation with the Democrats, in
imating thereby that the Dem
)cratS were about to buy
lowers off from being of
service to the Republicans. Mr..
edwards ought TO be ashamed to
lttack Caleb Powers in that fash |
on. Caleb Powers has stood true |
o the Republican party in times
hat tried mems souls. When Ed |
wards was in Washington being
IGNORED by the party and draw
ne $4,000 for his services, as !
Congressman, and suffering moth
ng for the cause OF Republican,
SIN, Caleb Powers was taking his
lfe in his hands and fighting for
he good name OF the party and its
'erpetuity in the State, in one of
he most infamous and unholy
that have ever dis
raced the records of any Court or
ountry. We assert that Caleb
Powers, when Johnson County,
pom the occasion above referred
0, did not have consultation, or
meeting with single Democrat.
We defy proof to the contrary.
The truth is, Caleb Powers had
one to Johnson County to deliver
is lecture, for pay, and found
'hen he got there, that the Re-
ubilcan party was split in two
