PROF. ASWELL GRASPING AT A
STRAW

In the perpleXity Of his political
Inspirations Prof. Aswell is grasping
at straw He would magnify a
mOlehill into mountain, if he could,
but he can not. IL may be recalled
that Prof. ASWell and some of his
followers Illuminated and clustered
exceedingly over the Bernstein let
ter which on its recOil was diSCred-
liable to the individuals connected
with an attempt to besmirCh the
name Of good man and most
worthy citizen. And now. after sew
eral months have elapsed. in the ar
duous but vain effort to iind some
thing or anything that could be
charged against Judge Hall, it would
seem that Prof. AsWel and some of
his adherents would hold him &C
countable for the deIinquencies con-
neCted with the Tensas Basin Leyee
Board land transaction.
II will not be questioned that
Judge Hall when a State senator
submitted and voted for what is
known as Act No. III, but it will not
be charged by implication or. directly
that Judge Hall has had any relation
or connection with the irregularities
and the frauds which have devel-
Oped in the disposal Of the levee
board lands.
To even suggest that Judge Hall
has had or could have had connec-
ton with such fraud or with any
fraud whatsoever or with any irreg-
ularity or scheme having for its pur-
pose any intent at dishonesty, is not
only base and cowardly, but its au-
thor should be branded with infamy.
The enactment upon which Prof
Aswell and some of his adherents
are Illuminating beyond common
lsense and reason. was suggested for
d good purpose but if some rascal
would profit i'll attempts at land
stealing Judge Hall should not be
held responsible or accountable for
such stealing
1t seems to be The extreme of the
ridiculous to even imply by some
means of secret evasion that Judge
Hall could be associated in any such
transaction, and this audacious at
tempt of reflection and detraction
will fall harmless at Judge Halls
feet
1t may be declared that the char
acter of Judge Hall is beyond the
reach of the shrewdest of unscrupu-
lOuS politicians and time-servers.
Such detraction must recoil on the
individuals guilty Of defamation of
character.
This query has been propounded:
will Hall Meet Aswell?"
Why should Hall meet Aswell or
any man connected with Aswell who
would attempt to besmirch his good
name, his character, especially in
the base and cowardly effort to con-
meet him with land stead?
The man who has not lived in the
Tensas leyee district is to be con-
gratulated-he at least is safe from
charge of connection with the land
| frauds perpetrated there.
