As Henry Lawrence Sees IL.

meet at Murray tuesday, Septem-
Der 20. did not meet and no action
at all was taken to fix the time and
means of nominating a candidate for
state senator. There was no one
present at all except Mr.. n. l.. Chris
man, of Galloway county. who called
the meeting. Chrisman was report
ed to have held the proxy of Mr.. J..
l.. Mitchell, of Livingston county,
but there are four members of the
committee. and one man and a proxy
could not transact business. and
nothing was done.
1t is said that Chrisman and his
proxy sat in meeting assembled and
attempted to take some action, but
no one knows but Chrisman and his
proxy what Chrisman and his proxy
did nor what they named 1t, If they
did anything.
Mr.. X. J. Doom, of Lyon county,
and w. c. Broadfoot, of Trigg coun-
ty. went to Murray on the day the
committee was called to meet. hop
ing to meet Mr.. ]. l.. Mitchell there
from Livingston county and inform
him of the wishes or the Democrats
in their counties and to consult with
him about the best interests of the
Democratic party and see II any ac-
ton of the committee could not be
postponed until about the usual time
of acting in such matters and until
the people desired action. When
fhov .t
there and that Mr.. Chrisman had his
proxy and was determined to take
action, Mr.. Doom and Mr.. Broad
bent. acting according to the wishes
OF their people, declined to 60 into
any meeting. They could not vote
for setting a time and manner of
making a nomination now and act
according to their best judgment.
and to go into a meeting meant a
tie vote, and Mr.. Chrisman. for some
reason unknown, being determined
upon action, tie vote meant refer
ence of the matter to the central
(W. A. Berry, and
from him possibly to the state CEN
trail committee as whole. with a
general fuss as the result. So rather
than have that, they chose not to go
into the meeting. Mr.. Chrisman
may serve the personal ambitions of
ex-senator Utley and Hon. Rainey
T. Wells by his disposition to rule or
ruin and force upon the Democrats
of the Third senatorial district that
which they do not want. and he may
serve the sinister schemes of some
unseen political trickster by such
methods, but he will do his party
great harm. Galloway county De-
mocracy has gone from 1900 Demo-
mratic majority into the election of
a Republican county ticket by just
such tactics as Mr.. Chrisman is nov
but in one respect he
stands alone and has the blue rib
bon in high handed methods. Here
tofore in Galloway first one faction
and then the other has used the
steam roller and taken everything
regardless of either justice or right,
and regardless of the party's inter-
est. but in this matter both factions
seem to be opposed to Mr.. Chrisman,
and he and his proxy not only at
tempt to run things In Galloway. bat
to spread out and run the Third
senatorial district by his rule or
ruin methods. Judging by Gallo
ways experience, Mr.. Chrisman
ought to know that 1t is easier tot
ruin than to rule by disregarding
the wishes of the people and the In
terests of his party.-Cadiz Record.
A Galloway View.
A call fourteen months in advance
of the election might be termed |
stealing at long range.
The fellow who accepts a nominal
ton for the state senate under the !
call for a convention as made by |
Newt Chrisman might as well pack |
his belongings. call the dog, put out |
the fire and move.
w. A. Barry, state central COM
from the First congress
sional district. will be the court OF |
last resort and will pass upon the |
second political theft perpetrated in |
Galloway county, and his decision is
already known. There is one more |
dose of bitters in the peoples medi-
cine chest and it will be admins
tered after some jackass accepts
nomination for the state senate
under the call for a convention as
issued by Newt Chrisman.-Murroy
Ledger.
