Reply from Mr.. t. O. Hart.

In reply to my opponents alb
solutely false accusations, as fol-
lows: He states / have made
several secret deals with refer
ence to supporting different can
didates for the same office, which
is as untrue as anything Ananias
or any of his family of modern
times ever uttered. He states /
juggled the candidates for the
governors Office for my own adj
vantage, which is absolutely false.
] also did not state who / would
vote for for governor before the
election, because l did not ask
any candidate to drag me into
Office, as did Mr.. Foster, he hav-
ing expressed himself at first in
favor of Michel, then when he
found DR.. Aswell was the strong
er, he announced he would vote
for Aswell, and after the primary
election, on Jan. 23d, he came
out for Hall, and Endorsed the re-
forms Judge Hall stands for. He
has stated he would support Mi
chel in preference to Hall, and
has also called the Good Govern
ment League people Republicans,
stating the recall was Socialistic.
He has endorsed everything from
Michel and the ring to Hall and
reform. There is nothing left
for him to endorse except the
Socialists, and no doubt he vii
endorse them after his defeat or

platform. My opponent

nent's platform. My opponent
has nothing to say with refer
ence to the, above vital issues
that are before our people at this
time. think that my platform
will match up to Mr.. Harris COM
pulsory educational clause, which
will rob the fathers and the
mothers of their rights to control
their own children, and will put
all of the negro children in school,
| if they choose to demand it, at
the expense of the white tax pay
ers. Mr.. Hart has tried to ex-
plain himself around this very
objectional plank, but he can not
do so.
He also advocates going back
to the parish judge system, which
will bring an additional expense
to our parish, and an expense to
our whole State of over 500, 600.
This is not the kind of reforms
that we have been contending
for, and l am sure that you will
readily agree with me.
My opponent says that the
principal thing that he is running
| for is to restore some old land
claims belonging to some of the
settlers of this parish. This is
the only thing that. Mr.. Hart has
any interest in whatever, but
you know that the Office of par
ish representative carries very
little weight in United States
matters. Mr.. Hart should be
running for the United States
j Congress. Mr.. Hart says him
| self, privately, that there are
only about forty old bona fide
claims in this parish, but public.
lily he has announced that there
are 10000 acres subject to can
collation., and further, he wants
the titles to 100000 acres per.
j, fected.
My friends, there are about
three dozen old bona fide lane
claims in this parish held by set
tiers, and when you are told that
. there are any more, and believe
such statements. you are deceiv
ing yourselves, and let me war;
you against such deception, which
is purely to catch your votes.
, have promised. and will do al
that can be done along this line
, if elected, and there need not b
any further issue on this subject

VOL. XxXvI



Referring to an article publish
ed in the Peoples Democrat last
week, written by my opponent,
Mr.. 7. O. Hart. which criticised
me for endorsing the reform
principles of the Good Govern
ment League. My friends you
all know that / told you in the
outset that l was for DR.. Aswell,
by choice, because he stood for
reform. When DIR. Aswell was
defeated by Judge Hall | then
came out and endorsed the plat
form of the Good Government
League, as did thousands of DR..
Aswells supporters who stood
for political reform in our State.
WhenSMr. Hart tells you that
ever stood for the ring or ring
politics at any time, he misrepre-
sents me, and is trying to do me
an injustice for political effect.
He is only trying to prejudice
good people against me, who
want government reform in our
State.
Why does Mr.. Hart go up in
the air now, and try to compare
his platform with the platform
of the Good Government League
when he has never had the cour-
age to endorse any platform?
What assurances have we that he
did not vote with the ring? We
do know that he has tried to play
in favor of both the Aswell and
the Good Government League
followers. My friends, this is
why he has never told US where
he stands.
He says that am against the
recall. / am, the way that he
has it in his platform. Ihaye no
objection to the recall if properly
regulated. Proper regulation, /
will explain, means about the
same thing as impeachment pro-
ceedings. All that / have said
from the stump was that the re-
call is not a remedy for all gov
ernmental ills, as many persons
have been made to believe.
Mr.. Hart asks why don't l
come out in the open like a man
and stand on my platform. /
want to tell you that this is just
what / have done, and now Mr..
Hart sees his own mistake, and
is trying to excuse himself some
WAY by bringing accusations
against me. He says that / do
not stand on my own platform.
This is where / have stood all the
time. He says that my platform
does not mean anything. / shall
have to be brief, but just let us
examine a few planks in my plat
form, and see what stand for.
First stand for government
reform, and a reduction of oul
taxes for bringing our State
government up to a purely bust.

WARNED IN DREAM.
Finds Revolver on Jack Allen as ne
Goes in to Visit Sidna.

Roanoke, Va, Oct. 8.-What might
have meant the escape of Sidna Al
len, Wesley Edwards, Floyd Allen
and Claude Allen was frustrated yes
terday morning when Jailer W. c. AL
len searched Jack Allen, brother OF
Floyd and Sidna, before he was al
lowed to enter the cell, and found a
six-shooter on his person.
Allen was placed under arrest for
carrying concealed weapons and was
arraigned before a police justice. He
was bailed in the sum of 500 for his
appearance Saturday, October IL,
when he will be tried.
Jailer Allen admitted Jack and Vic
tor Allen to the Jail Sunday after
noon. On that night the jailor dream
ed that he saw Jack Allen give pls-
toll to Sidna Allen in the jail. Yester-
day morning the officer was much
worried and he related his dream tt
Judge Staples, who instructed him tc
search everyone entering the Jail.
When he arrived, Jack Allen de-
clared he had no pistol, but the jailol
found one in Aliens inside pocket
The revolver was in wallet. He de
MED that he had violated the law be-
cause he is a constable in Carroll
county and has a right to carry g
pistol.
Whether Jack Allen intended to
give the gun to his brothers so they
could shoot their way out or whether
they wanted it for suicidal purposes
is problematical. Allen will be tried
Saturday.

SENATOR MARTINS FORECAST.
Predicts Great Democratic Victories
Throughout Country.

Bristol, Va, Oct. S.-Senator
Thomas S. Martin, who has been on a
campaign tour in Southwest Virginia
week, not only predicts that Gene
raj Rufus A. Ayers, will defeat c.
Bascom Slemp but says this year
will be a Democratic one throughout
the country.
Judge John w. Price introduced
Senator Martin as a man who
"speaks as one having authority"
He referred to his leadership of the
Democratic minority in the United
States Senate as brilliant, and said
that he enjoyed the distinction OF be-
ing elected to the United States Sen
ate from Virginia more times than
any other man, with the single excep-
ton of the lamented Major John D.
Daniel.
Senator Martin said that he be-
lieved the majority of the Republ;-
cans of the Ninth district, like the
Democrats, would vote this faA in
the national and congressional cleo
tions, from the standpoint Of patrio-
tism and the good of the country. He
said that to those to whom he could
make no higher appeal-to those who
looked only for the loaves and fishes
he could safely say that Congressman
Slemp's mission as pie dispenser
would be at an end on March next
and that they can get nothing from
that score by supporting him.

dead Big Boy" who had pulled the
big truck for nearly three years. fell
and broke his leg in the stable yard at
West End. An examination by the
veterinary surgeon showed that his
case was hopeless and few minutes
later a kindly shot put an end to his
suffering
big Boy was regarded as one Of
the most valuable horses in the serv-
ice. He had been slightly lame for a
week ana had been sent out to the
stable to recuperate. The unusual rest
made him feel like prancing and ca
vorting over the yard Suddenly as he
turned his feet went out from under
him and he fell with a crash.

the three who have pulled with Big
Boy" stand as subdued in their stalls
as if they realized that their mate never
