Mr.. Editor. hope that every voter though
lie be from far awaY India, will carefully and
seriously consider this very important point.
l, tor one, shall vote for Welsh if for no other
reason than to press forward the prevailing
cry and demand drought the country
Down with the Bosses" Jennings is IN.
qUestionably ring town, pure and simple
perfected, primed and cooked, This she can
not deny. for her warm and ardent support of
Michael and Sanderism and her dominating
and aggressive attitude heretofore in all
meetings pertaining to parish division has
branded her rs such, and il she is defeated ss
doubtless she will be, she will have no one to
blame but herself and her rural district boost
er. / say it without the least fear of contra
diction that the Jennings boosters of this
community have done more to bring about
divided vote at this precinct. and have con-
verted more votes for Welsh than any of her
original supporters.
We have and yet contend that Welsh will
carry this precinct two to one and our recent
primary for parish and ward Democratic
Committees confirmed this contention aud
shows very conclusiyely that we will do even
better than this. Welsh's most ardent sup
porters, and they are numerous. are ever Oh
the alert and will on the day for action step to
the front, raise their banner and land a.
great victory.
Our enemies. and even our friend Dock
Marshall, who is posing in an egotistical way
as you have seen from the reading of his
articles in the Jennings Times Record as OK
editor of the Elton Progress is aiding Us very
materially in rounding up this great victory.
We can use other such men Sister Jennings.
so send them up. For they, like you, have no
foundation and can't face the battle and argue
the case only in an angry and envious way.
We admire Mr.. Marshall's perseverance. bnt
it would add so much to his crown of laurels
if he were only patriotic enough to possess
the legal right to vote.
In conclusion wish to say that have at no
time heard but one point worthy of consider.
alton in Jennings favor and when this point
has been presented their hands are tied and
lips Theoretically sealed and with very sacred
bow, will bid you good bye. This point ba.
been tossed from hand to hand and has passed
from lip to lip until it has assumed sueh 4,
siokly sentimental cry that careful ANALYSIS
has shown it is innert, lost its fervor and 10.
sesses no therapeutic value. The ryhme runs
something like this.
Jennings with her brilliant electric lights
And water works that cant be beat.
Cement walks pressed brick and sanitary
buildings
Are logical reasons why she should bs tbe
county seat.
Now to show that am sincere in INV decI,r.
atoms and am free from prejudice, malice and
luminosity, l want to say that / am alvay,
subject to conviction and il jennings in ren,v
to this article can show where am wrong bv
producing facts and reasons that are mors
logical than these which I present I will
without any cost to my feelings, yield. cast NV
vote for and use my influence in her behalf.
Twill close but will doubtless come again
and when l do will doubtless land the deash
and fatal blow. and until then and with averx
expression Of regard aud many good wish..
for Welsh, remain.
Yours for Welsh,
