 "Montgomery County in the Judi cial race through Prosecutor Woods cupidity.
 '.Unlyersaily regretted a harmony agreement was not arrived at by which the judicial offices could have been made to rotate satisfactory for both counties
 Woods eupidlty has upset the pretty plans Of Montgomery and Gar land counties from being a unit in the desire for fair political stand ing. The opposition Of Wood. the chief factor n killing our proposi- ton in regard to ths Eighteenth Judi- cial District wsli undoubtedly become 2 sling hy which he will gIay himself and he ought to have remembered he was prosecuting attorney by appoint, ment and he ought to have had sense enough to know that Donaghey's wings are so badly singed that fl is more than probable he will never be able to recognize him again as g good angel, even though the gods would like to decree It.
 His alternate thought should have been strong with the people. But some insane germ made him under rate their value We regret Woods bad aaege-is Is g mlsfortune-at least for ns. to have to look forward to the political battles We will have to fight among our friends. when they could have been avoided. Howev- CT. the great race ig on with all candidates off, and each fully conff dent in himself of being the win- ner.
 The contestants are: Gibson Witt. 1 Thurtosn P. Farmer. M s cobb. Geo. P Whittington and ]. B. Wood. A report in the sentinel-Record writ .f.a by Wood, cs what he said before the Garland county Central Commit tee Is humorous. and that learned lawyer simply made matters worse by inferring the agreements we de sired was not right. The agreement certainly was right; and one which | the majority of the voters in both counties would have endorsed had it been approved of by the Garland County Central Committee
 When Wood cites that these com mittees tmeaniag the Democratic Committees have no authority to bind the voters of the counties by an agreement which virtually dlsfran. chises the voters at each election he may be right, and yet he is dead wsoag. The Committee may not have the authority but common usage among Central Democratic Commit tees is such that they are able to make important agreements. which are unnecessary to submit to the voters.
 "As to the statement Of voters be- ing disfraachised if Garland had adopted the agreement that is absurd and has not one grain of value. II could no more dsstranchise voters under the harmony agreement that is absurd and bas not one grain Of alue Il could no more disfrachise voters under the harmony agreement than they can be disfranchised with out it, unless similar tactics could be pursued to those which our chief ex- ecutive has so outrageously enforced on the people of Garland county ! Woods fight against Us will certainly strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two counties, and we are happy in the belief that the peo- pie of Grland county win always be ready to link their lives with ours in every legitimate cause which will tend 10 strengthen the ties Of our political friendship"
