/ guess perhaps had better give a
light tip on politics up here. 1t seems
from what | can gather from the rank
auu file that we have about one-third
OF the voting DOEulation of the upI ar
end Of our county now beyond shad-
dow Of doubt full-fie1geI Socialists
which was all kept in the dark AMI IN
secrecy from me as your humble sarv-
ant, anj one of the regular republican
politicians on the regular ticket where
boilers were never known, but will
nov overly sneak ont on the issue an
say that the Socialists in tuis part CT
the moral vineyard this time viii cut
quite a figure and dash in the ap-
proaching campaign in the county.
find already in surveying over the pol
itical field that the Socialist party has
already got part of tho candidates Sc
lected and placed in the political field,
from Justice of the Peace up. | will
now speak out and say that the woods
are full of them composed from tue
two old political parties. Don't you
| think that l am making a Socialist
speech at all, but ] only warn all ye
| political managers and bosses to be up
and doing. Keep wide awake and du-
! ~ labor in the management and the
! conducting of this next campaign, for
! il will be run on an entirely different
| scale 6Hd schedule than ever hereto
! fore. for there are the two old repub-
| lican parties, one the regulars and
the other the boilers and 5he high
flyers. There are the two democratic
parties, they have what is called the
regular democratic and the other
wing, the high stopper, the true bolter
and traitor to all other political fac
tons but rather inclined to lean over
to the republican party in the last
camuaign. | have no confidence in
them, and can't say what party they
will attach to this time, but however
will say that / am leo to believe that
thew rode on political train before
that run out to the end of the main
line, and that the said political train
they were on had no turn table to
turn around on and they absolutely |
failed to ride back and had to come
back a-foot if they ever got back into
the old democratic party. 1t reminds
me of an old darby who made
strong effort to ride into heaven on
horse back. When old Ephraim rode
up to the gate of heaven and rang
the bell the messenger said, Hello,
who is that?'' 'tUncle Ephraim, your
humble servant, the negro said.
''Are you riding or walking" II
am riding boss,' "Well, we are not
taking in any horseback riders today"
So Uncle Ephraim went away and on
on the following day he returned afoot
and rang the bell the second time.
The gate was opened and the question
was asked, "Who is thatP' The dar-
key said, "Your Uncle Ephraim.
"Are you riding OF walking" II am
walking boss, this time" The angel
said, "We are not taking in any foot
men today so you will have to call at
another more convenient season and
come in on a regular schedule
SO give you this paragraph to IL
lustrate the Independents and boilers,
YOU must either ride in or walk in on
the regular republican, or regular dem
ocratic ticket or the Socialist, Don't
to be pig and puppy both,
want the Chattanooga Times to
speak out and explain to the reading
public. what there is in that work {
house commission business over there,
Tt is about to become an eye-opener to
the voters over here. We want to !
know what has Judge Williams got to

business There surely must have
been little grating going on TO the |
back OF that machinery. If So say 80
