said:T
my Democratic Friends:
accept of this honor not because
am entitled to it any more than any
other democrat but because | feel
have more time.
| claim to be the father Of this club
not that others could not have been
for they could the same as |, but be
ing at leisure while others are busy
looking after their farms and stock
and the business man after his bust
ness thought it my duty to organize
this Wilson-Marshall Club of Craig
County, as this county is one of the
banner democrats counties of the
state In organizing this club thought
it would bring the party closer to-
gether, and we would be more able to
work than heretofore.
Il suggest that a vice president and
secretary be named in every precinct
of the county By doing this / think ii
will be the cause of bringing out the
whole democratic vote of the county
and the independent vote also be
| lieve we will carry the county by six
or seven hundred over our opponents
of the county Wilson and Marshall
Davenport and three of our congress
men of the state and the county, We
have two great men at the head Of our
ticket
With Wilson for president, Marshall
for vice president, and honest j. S
Davenport as nominee for congress
man of the Third district and Murray
Thompson and Weaver for congress
men-at-large; and our ticket with such
men as j. B. Turner, chief justice OF
the supreme court and Col. Jack Love
and others, see no reason why we
should not roll up 40 thousand ma
jority for the state ! hope every dem
ocrat in the county will put his shoul
der to the wheel and get all the vot
ers out and take an interest in the
whole ticket from top to bottom.
think it the duty of every democrat tc
contribute something to the campaign
