LETTER FROM DAVE KING,
Some Interesting Facts And Figures On
The Circuit Judges Race.

Iiiefe dre COlilllCIluS repOFI5 dS 10
the vote in the recent primary
for Circuit Judge. Judge Meeks'
friends claim his plurality over
me is all the way from "a to 81
votes, with some strange and un-
accountable changes from first
reports, which showed my elec-
ton.
OF course do not know exact
ly how it is, but ! do know that
of the democratic vote poIled in
the circuit ! have a plurality of
over 800 votes.
Admitting that none but quail
flied democrats voted in other
counties, this, Sharp county
alone, if the ballots should be
purged and none counted but
white democrats, as the rules
provided, would give me the
nomination by more than 200
plurality.
am safe in saying that not
more than 1875 democrats, under
the rules adopted at Hardy by
the full committee, voted in
Sharp county. Yet in the judges
race there were 1854 votes polled.
About 500 OF these belonged to
other parties.
In two townships in this coun-
ty, which are conceded to be
close politically, | received, ia
one of them, 81 votes, Baker Is
and Meeks 40, in the other Meeks
received Y, Baker and myself
but 72. In another adjoining
township, small but largely re-
publican-has only 10 democrats
in it received 10 votes, Baker
5 and Meeks %. In this town
ship ! am told Jnat a large num-
Der Of negroes voted. In another
republican township received
% votes, Baker 2 and Meeks "a,
In another township response
bic citizen told me that he saw II
republicans go to the polls in a
bunch and they told him they all
voted for Meeks. Thus it was
all over the county.
The statement that not more
than 1915 democrats voted in this
county is borne out by the fact
that two years ago in the pri-
mary we only voted about 400,
A small vote was polled every
where this year. lizard county,
which generally polls 2l00 TO
2200, only voted 1924. Fulton
county, which votes 1900 to
100, only voted l400. Sharp
must have lost something near
the same proportion. In 1906,
at the September election in this
county, Gov, Little received 1890
votes, and in 1908 Donaghey re-
ceived l0ll. Then, to make up
to 1854, there must have been
800 republicans voted in the pri'
mary.
Notwithstanding this heavy
republican vote against me in
this county, the last reported re-
turns in the three counties where
wo three live say beat Baker 3l0
votes and | beat Meeks 277 votes,
In Meeks' county and mine to-
gether beat Meeks 2S4 votes,
In Meeks' county be only bent
me 1856 votes, with all the olec-
ton machinery Of tho county op.
Grating in his favor. With this
republican vote practically solid
against me, lost loss votes and
a less per cent Of the vote in my
home county and In my home
township than did either one Of
my opponents in his home county
and home township.
II remains TO be seen whether
or not the judicial convention
when 1t meets will give me a
certificate Of nomination, to
