since Col. Roosevelt carried Ohio.
Nearly all these wishy washy Taft
leaders and supporters are now saying
Il am for Hughes, | never was for
Taft" after packing the convention
at Jasper with nearly a car load of the
colored boys and had them go against
the will of the rest. In fact, over two
thirds of the colored race and the
whites, too, of Marion County, are for
Col. Roosevelt and was for him at the
time you Holsters cut your dash. l
will ~truthfully state, as | said in the
past, Roosevelt is the republican win
ner in this nation, and W. j. Bryan
will be the democratic winner. There
isn't a democrat in the field can carry
a two-thlrds majority, which it takes
to nominate in that party, except Bry-
an. Three times for Roosevelt in the
chair, three times for Bryan, either
president or three times defeated, but
nevertheless all you Taft federal
office holders through this part of the
moral vineyard take notice, if ever
you make application again to fill the
office you will have to make it to eth
er Roosevelt or Bryan. II sou should
make your application to Taft it
would look to me like a stub tail dog
crossing a footlog on a moonlight
night with a ham of meat in his
mouth, and while crossing the creek
he SHES at his shadow IN the water.
He makes a dive at the shadow, miss
es his mark and loses the ham of meat
in the transaction, and comes out the
worst defeated dog on earth, and so
this will be like these Taft fellows
that really thought they were actually
the republican party and in the ma
jority, when in fact they were in the
minority, and l fear they will come
out at the little end of the horn, land
another man will be in the saddle, so
you just as we'll now begin to bid your
friend Taft farewell, for in a few more
days he will go down like the great
sea ship, the Titanic, and say fare
we'll to all.
We have had several law suits on
one old plug mare worth SEQ three re-
plevy suits. n attachment, one levy
by execution, and yet my feet are sure
put to the fire to understand all the
law points involved in so many suits
of the same nature on a plain lien
note with title retained. just why
the adverse party, the maker of this
lien note, should be entitled to gain
the possession of this property when
the title at DC time vas ave in the
maker, l am still at a loss as far as
the law prescribes to thoroughly un-
derstand how one J. P. "a render five
different judgements in one cause of
action, and get non Of them appealed
unless a confessed judgement can't be
appealed is why the parties are afraid
to go up and get this same suit. The
suit is still up and one suit by attach
ment is set before Esq. Merritt, and a
replevy suit is set before G. FL. Hollo-
way, j. P, and it seems that there
has been more law demonstrated and
expounded in this particular case than
has ever been known in the history of
the county, and the end is not yet in
sight. Both contesting parties are de-
termined to test the validity of the
law on a right and title and lien note.
The attorneys engaged in this contest
are McCurry, White and Morrison.
Neither side seems in the least to be
weakening and it seems to be dividing
the people to a great extent, either on
one side or the other of this issue.
ESQ. Holloway says this above named
suit is the greatest mental strain ever
came before him since his Inaugural
tion, and the most physical exertion
known this hot weather OIL the
part of the attorneys engaged in this
famous law suit.
The next long and tedious law suit
on file will be that of J.. L. Wooten
VS.. M. 7. Upton for damage in a
breach of a written contract extending
over a period of five years. All par
ties to his breach of contract suit are
prominent 1t will be set before W.
Johnson of Jasper, one of the Oldest
of the county with many
years experience.
Don't fail to note that w. A. Can
trell will have to mighty near run
sideways up here to keep from flying,
for | tell you those democratic man.
ayers for the other fellow are doing

wont agree with you in the outset is
streak of and type of ignorance gone
