! that be is an ex-democrat, rocked in 3
democratic cradle, nursed by a good
old democratic mother, and because be
failed to be boss and run things, he
bolted and ionahed the democi attic
party and now has hung mp his sign
as a Socialist leader and advocate of
the doctrine I am furt her led to be-
lieve if you should fail to make a
complete success as a leader of the
patty be SO highly recommends, he
will bolt that party, for tell you, sir,
when a man takes up this evil habit
of boiling and deserving bis party, it
is hard to ever overcome it. l am led
to believe party confidence will be
found wanting, and will be hard for
any political party hereafter to place
confidence in him, and reinstate him
in full fellowship. If he has Social
ist horse In the shape of preacher he
wishes to trot out in the political field
as candidate for congress against
Judge Moon, Just saddle him up and
bring him out. We want to see the
cut of his eye. l will stand by my
former article as to what / said in re-
gard to the political situation over
here, as to republicans, democrats and
socialists going to vote for Judge
Moon. have always tried to write
the facts as they appear. Mr.. Bran
nan. as a Socialist, seems to challenge
me in several instances to show one
laboring man or Socialist in my dis
trict that is going to vote for Judge
Moon. Now, it comes to show down
on my part to do so, and if do have
got the Socialist leader run up tree,
and /, as republican of the old type,
when / shoot at the mark, always
muddy the waters and kill fish.
Now, Mr.. Brannan, will give you
few names of Socialists in my dis
trict that will vote for John A. Moon:
John r. Holloway, extrustee of Ma
rion county, and leader of the So
cialist party and a man of great infiu
ence, whose post Office address is Whit
we'll Another leading Socialist is
Mr.. Mccormick, Whitwell, miner,
who is going to vote for Moon. i also
introduce to you Hon. George Carey,
brother of former President Pat Carey,
of the q. M. w. of A., and who holds
office as secretary of the same for dis
trict 10. George Carey is tue local or
ganizer at this place Of the Socialists,
and is supposed to he leader of his
flock. He is, as sure as gun is made
of iron and steel, going to vote for
Judge Moon. / could give a number
of other leading and influential men
who are going to cast their votes for
Judge Moon. --,
Bro Brannan is not very we'll post
ed as to how the Socialist leaders over
here are going to vote. You said there
wasn't Socialist in my district going
to vote for Moon. say this in the
face of the fact that Moon is perfectly
satisfactory to those who vote to per-
petuate the robbing system of today,
which is endorsed by both democrats
and republicans. There is not an in
telligent democrat sors republican in
this congressional district that be-
lieves that Judge Moon endorsed or
voted to perpetuate the robbing system
lenge you to show why Judge Will
votes as his opponent. He was tang
commission over in Hamilton County.
where there was surely some grating.
Some good men of the county court
some members were retained. It left
US III uOuUt dDOuL buO AdbbcI, anu pOA-
itics seemed famed in the breeze of
sensation. We also believe from the
records of 16 years service as publi
SCI want without blemish, Moon real
ly has more friends here than his OPP
ponent. We challenge anyone to bring
up anything against Moon as being
party, either before or after the fact,
to any system of robbery. We think
there, has never been an ADLER man
sine the civil war than Judge Moon,
and he lisa clean gentleman without
biemish or stain. 5e
You say that when lawyer begins
to yelp on the track you take the other
end to get nearer to justice. If you
keep on the end you are standing on.
tell me when you reach the end you
expect to find. You say lawyers make |
no impression on Socialists. II you
had been over here last week when
represented the state on a very grave
charge against some kind of Social |
list, you would have changed yout |
mind for / jerked a knot in his tail
and he went mp to the higher tribunal
to look Judge McReynolds in the face.
If you should happen to meet, please
ask him liza lawyer didn't make an
impression on him. Then retract your
statement about lawyers. If they
should happen to be republicans or
they are not all thieves, or
to the robbing system you
speak of. ~
will say few words on political
economy. / hope it is not a crime to
be republican or democrat. or a
sin to be socialist Mr.. Brannan,
suppose thinks he Is right on his So
cialist platform of government. The
democrats also think they have the
proper platform, and the republicans
know theirs is right Bismark. in
writing the history of all nations of
the earth, says that in America, un-
der republican administration, the
United States was the most prosper
ous nation under the sun. According
ly remain staunoh member of the
grand old party, and have no legal OBJ
lection to Mr.. Brannan remaining
where he is just whoop up Social
ISM Be sure and trot your Socialist
'hoss' and let the reading public get
4 view of him.
l think, from my connection with
abor organizations in the past, that ]
