 They say that Mr. Witt is a candi- date for the office of prosecuting at torney and that his candidacy is based on the action of the Garland county central committee on that point That Is the reason for his candidacy; he isn't then here as candidate for this office on his personal merits, f that is true. but he is a candidate because he says Montgomery cocaty was badly treated in that arrange ment was turned downsAnd that I made some declarations there, which say now here is untrue II didn't say anything of the kind
 1t reminds me of a little story heard. One time there were some gentlemen go'ng across the river in sldft and when they got to the mid i dle it toppled over turned over, and three or four nssn were left there struggling in the water in order to extricate themselves There was 9 man Qu the shore who was frantic, going up and down on the band and hUlering. Save the red-headed man 9 The people on the other side of the shore were doing all they could to savo alI who were in danger of being drowned, and this man was going mp and down saying, Save the redhead- ed man" After a while they saved the red-headed man and saved~them all. Finally they saved them all and got them to shore. and a gentleman who happened mp about that titfe spoke up and said to the man who was hoUering "Saye the red-beaded man" he said. "f want Co Congratu- late you, they have saved the red headed man will you tell me why you are SO Interested? I suppose he is your father?" No sir. "I suppose he is q brother" No sir "I snp- pose be is a near relative, then2" No sir. "Theu & very dear treud2' No sr Why. then we're you so@nter- ested in having him savad?' Well to tell the truth be owed me three do- lars and know if I didn't get him saved would lose the tarce dollars.
