A PLAIN SIMPLE QUESTION
TO THE READERS OF
THIS PAPER

there single, good reason, why You
should not vote for Mr.. Stuart in
November? IL so, what Is the rea-
SOM"
He is good man. His character
as a moralits and church man has
never been questioned. Ii he were
not such this of itself would be a
good reason why we should not vote
for him. He is an upright, christian
gentleman, without reproaca at
home or abroad.
lie is broad minded, progressive
and generous. His history, private
and public, shows this to be true.
rich and poor, in his own section
and everywhere he has shown
himself 10 be charitable, pro-
gressive and public spirited. He
knows his people and their needs,
and they know him.
lie is n plain, common man OF
the people. Though man Of
wealth, he is not an aristocrat. lie
is plain Henry Stuart. His wealth
has built no barriers between him
and the masses whose interests are
all identified with his own. lie is a
farmer, and makes his money out OF
the soil. lie is a representative man
OF the Southland, and her people.
whose interests and future welfare
are as dear and close TO him as his
own. He is a man Of fine intellect
and training lie has big brain az
well rs big body and heart. There
is nothing narrow in his thinking.
His rugged, native intellect has been
strengthened and proadened by edu-
cation and travel, so that its sweer
covers national rs well rs local
questions and problems, and in pub
lie as in private matters, his opin-
ion and his judgment would be safe
TO follow and TO uust.
In the Congress OF the United
States his presence and influence
would reflect credit, not only upon
his District and State but upon the
South. This great country has q
great future if its destinies can be
shaped and guile by great, broad
minded statesmen. Threatened as if
is, by warning factions and torn bv
dessertions and selfish men, the shin
OF State may ground and wreck upon
the reefs and rocks Of ruin.
lie is not an extremist. The great
problems, now clamoring for soIu-
ton, as between the interests of can't
tai on the one hand and labor on the
other Henry Stuart could be relied
upon to justly protect the one with
out robbing and depressing the other
His history and his character Justify
the assertion that he would eouita-
bly, defend the poor while dealing
justly and equitably with the rich.
The cry OF high prices and oppres-
sion, low wages and little work.
would reach him, and fall upon
sympathetic ears and no one who
knows him will doubt that every
consistent effort in his power would
be made to relieve it.
There is every reason 10 believe
that the next Congress will be DEM
ocratic, and would it not be wise 70
have Henry Stuart on hand to guard
our interests as he is so we'll CAPABLE
OF doing?
sthere any good reason why we
should not, all of us, vote for II. G..
Stuart for Congress in November
Would il not he wise to have =
change? Under the present order Of
things we have had panic on for
nearly three years. The cost of living
Is almost prohibitIve entirely, while
work Is slack everywhere and wages
are low. "A change would certainIv
make matters no worse, and The pres-
ent party have shown conclusiyeIv
that they either cannot or will not
make determined effort TO remedy |
the existing evils and wrongs. They
have had ample opportunity and
matters have really gotten worse
than better.
There is one reason which some
viii give for not voting for Mr.
Stuart. This comes from the politi-
