WOULD GIVE $4,000 BOND
Mr.. Shaw Makes a Proposition to
Mr.. McAllister Concerning
Their Candidacy.

Editor of The Dawson News: Nc
Allisters card has been read. There
is now the opportunity of two mems
lives who really want to see who can
carry Clay county and who her peo-
ple want for senator. The state
committee has called August 2Srd as
the date for the state primary. I'm
der McAllister's term of legality Clay
could hold one on the 5th of August.
1 believe that the committee will
be willing in Clay to call one on this
date that he has called legal. He
says he can carry Clay county. l
am willing to take him for my SEN
ator If he can. l will put up 5000
bond forfeitable to the public school
fund of Clay county if | don't come
out of the district primary race II
fail to carry Clay county, if McAllis-
ter will do the same, and will sign
a request with him asking the COM
mittee to call this nomination over.
1t is hard to have to run twice, as
this would force me in Clay to run
twice, but because of peace and har-
mony l will do it. This is much less
expensive than the campaign we are
having to make all over the district,
and these folks down here know both
he and myself, and know about the
negro election and ali. Mack says
he can carry Clay, and now is his
chance to show it.
Now, Mack, you are up against a
proposition that you can't fool the
people about You never thought
once of the time that might come in
between the first day of your legal
period and the date fixed by the state
committee. What about it, McAllis-
ter? Are you really in earnest about
carrying Clay county? Now, Mack,
don't try to sidestep. Say if you are
willing to run in primary in Clay
county if the committee will call it
on August 5th, 9Th, 7th or Sth.
I will answer Mack's article of last
week in full next Wednesday in the
Blade and Bludgeon. Respectfully,
EMMETT r. SHAW.
