ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

False and Misleading Statements In

Ninch Choice OF Madison Rspub-
leans.
Greensboro News.l
Charlotte. Sept 2o.-The follow
ing letter signed By Amos Steck-
house, chairman OF the Madison
County Republican Executive Com
mittee, has been mailed 10 s. S. Nc
Ninch, Republican nominee for Con-
gress. and William Buckner. nomi-
nee Cor the State Senate.
The letter, which follows in full,
Is self-explanatory:
Marshall. n. c, Sept. IL, 1910.
We have read the article pub
Iished by the Raleigh News and OBJ
server, Sunday mornings edition.
September IL. purporting TO have
been written by Alvin Horton, whom
We understand is private secretary
TO E. Y. Webb. and desire TO say that
the letter is unqualifiedly false and
misleading.
The Republicans Of Madison Coun-
ty are thoroughly satisfied with their
nominees, the Hon. S. S. McNinch
for Congress and W. NJ. Buckner for
Sheriff Mr. McNinch declared over
again that he is a Republican and
thoroughly in accord with the prin-
ciples and doctrines of the Republi-
can party. The Republicans Of Mad
ison County had the honor of plac-
ing Mr.. McNinch's name before the
Congressional Convention that was
held at Shelby. And the Republicans
of Madison County heartily endorse
what Mr.. McNinch said in his letter,
written at Hot Springs, which did
not any more refer to Madison Coun-
ty than it did to all the counties of
the western part Of the State, and
if Mr.. MeNinch does anything for
the county of Madison or any of the
mountain counties of this district, it
will be more than has been done by
the present incumbent of this con-
gressional district
people of Madison are enthusiastic
over his nomination and will give
him an increased majority. Mr..
Buckner has been a Republican for
number of years and was candi-
date on the Republican ticket pre-
yious to that time and has been
consistent Republican ever since.
Mr.. Buckner has been in harmony
with the Republican administration
of the county OF Madison and has
done as much valuable work for the
Republican ticket in the past as any
other man in the county, and has
held the office of Deputy Sheriff I'M
der the present Sheriff, G. W. Cole,
for the past four years. He had no
opposition whatever in the primary
and is so popular the Democrats
. dare not put man against him.
And We defy the writer of the
article referred to, to name a straight
Republican in Madison County who
will not heartily vote for both the
Hon. S. s. MeNinch and Mr.. Buckner
at the coming election.
"The Republicans OF Madison have
no feeling against any man that be-
comes converted to a knowledge Of
the truth and embraces the princi
pies and doctrines Of the Republican
party. The Republican party is the
party Of progress and advancement
and it viii gladly welcome strons
men, such as Mr.. McNinch and Mr.
!, Buckner- to the party
: The Republicans of Madison
, County feel that there is no eompari
, son, at least no favorable compari
son, between Republican who ha
: just come over from the Democrat
party and a straight Democrat VIII
is avowedly opposed to the prime
t pies of the Republican party, and W
4 will always east our vote for til
r man that embraces our principle
r and advocates our doctrines in pre-
q erence 10 a man who is openly q
v posed to them.
i THE Republicans Of Madison a.
: thoroughly satisfied with the Ro
j. NJ. Morehead as State Chairma
n and will assist him in carrying Il
7 State Republican by giving an
creased majority in the county
+ Madison, and we feel confident tn
g. the Hon. S. S. McNinch will be t
next Congressman for the Min
