i Our people will never permit
Williamson to be MateWanized BY
voting for the Proxy Ticket.
What sort of city government
does the Proxy ticket promise
the same kind we are getting in
the county, or til Matewan

The gang is heartbroken at the
thought that it won't be allie to
disburse among its friends that
S51, 100000 bond issue. 1t would
furnish the sinews of war for
many fat job in their tender
care.
Speaking Of forlorn hopes,
about the forlornist thing that
ever came down the pike is the
attempt Of crowd of babes and
stockings to lift themselves into
the city government by their
boot straps. The lads will have
to grow up before we give them

The Republican party has
never had complete charge of the
city government, except for
few months at the tail end of the
term of the bipartisan coun-
cllin 1904. Whatever has been
done in Williamson, except for
that short period, has been ac-
complished under the direction
of a Democratic administration.
The Democrat party is entitled
to the credit, and is ready and
wiling to assume the Blame for
whatever has been done or left
undone pertaining to the govern
ment Of the city while in its
charge. The party record is an
open book, subject to the inspec-
ton of Williamson's humblest
citizen. The facts are all well
known. Upon that record and
upon the worth and character of
It's candidates, the Democrat
party willingly submits its cause
to the Judgment Of the people.

attempt of those am bilious to

ment, to SANDER and defame the
democratic officials of the city.

this same Divine Providence be-
slowed upon h Republican
party. Editor Booton has gone
further. He would not only claim
for the Republican party credit
tor the benevolent manifest ations
OF the laws of nature, but would
charge the democratic party, and
ln.partlcular, the democratic adj
mlnlstratlon of Williamson with
being responsible for all the dis
asters and calamities occasioned
as the result Of these same laws.
