this campaign" said Gov. Blease.

worth a million and half dollars;
he was chief counsel for the South

I am satisfied that Joness friends
are trying to get that place for
JONES' And then the governor told
of Col. Abney's shrewdness in hiring
Judge Jones's son, Charles D. Jones,
especially in the Southern merger
case, so that if the case were lost
and appeal taken to the supreme
court, of which Judge Jones was
chief Justice, Abney would have "a
megaphone to Judge Jones's ear"

a white mans country, and the white
men will rule, and am here to back
you up"
