SOCIALISTS RESENT CHARGES.
Deny Allegation That Their Votes are
For Sale-Adopt Resolutions.

The socialists of Hewitt in this
county held an Indignation meeting
on the evening of the 18th of this
month and adopted series of resolu-
tions making a general denial OF the
allegations which they claim are be-
ing scattered through the county, that
the votes OF members of that party
are for sale.
While We do not believe in the doc
trines advocated by the followers OF
the socialistic party and believe that
theil political beliefs are against the
best interests Of the country, at the
same time We are willing to cOnCede
to them honesty of purpose and the
same high minded intention and in
tegrty which we think charaCterizes
the believers in a Jefferson democracy.
Believing this We can not believe that
the socialists of Carter county are on
the market, offering their votes to the
highest bidder While the entire sys-
TEN of policies as advocated by the
socialist party may be wrong-while
in our humble opinion they arew rong
yet in Justice to the many who be-
long to that political organization in
this county, we feel that we are but
doing them the most ordinary of COM
mon justice when We reproduce the
resolutions adopted at the Hewitt
meeting.
The resolutions follow:
I'VE, the Socialists of Hewitt, in
local meeting assembled on July 13,
1912, passed the following resolutions
by a unanimous vote:
Whereas. it has been reported that
certain So-called Socialists not mem
bers Of the party have promised to
sell and deliver the Socialist vote to
certain candidates seeking nomina-
tions at the hands of the Democratic
party of this county, and
Whereas, we believe that they
have already received money as part
payment for said vote, and thereby
acted in an unsocialistic way by
pledging the party to support men
whom their constitution prohibits
them from voting for, and
Whereas no true Socialist will en-
ter the prmary for any purpose than
to support ;he Socialist county ticket.
If there be any candidate VINO has
offered to pay. or who has paid, for
any part Of the Socialist vote we
ask you and warn you not to pay any
attention to traitors from the Social
ist party, as our vote is not for sale,
and
