To the Voters of Carter County;

To the Voters of Carter County:
Gentlemen: | adopt this means OF
presenting my claims to you for the
election to the office of register OF
deeds of Carter county, for the rea-
son that lack of cash may prevent
my talking with you each and all,
personally. have no horse upon
which to canvass the county and
am forced to make the race with
practically no money whatever.
Poverty may be no disgrace. but
il has been truly said that 1t is
very inconvenient. | am finding
it particularly so at present, Tor
while ! am not seeking this nom
ination through charity but because
need the office and am fully quail
flied to fill it, the lack of funds
prevents me seeing and talking the
matter over with every voter in the
county, as | would like to do.
In presenting my claims to you and
asking your support for the office
of register of deeds of this county
do so. first, because, as stated
before, | am fully competent and
qualified to fill the office; second,
was the first man to say that the
office which | am seeking could and
should be run by two men. | was
the first to say that if the people OF
Carter county elected me register
of deeds / would dispense with the
services of one of the clerks, as
are used at present, and with the
help of one clerk do all the work,
thereby saving the taxpayers OF this
county from six hundred to one thou
sand dollars per year.
have said from the beginning
and still say that the head OF the
office should work himself the same
as anyone else. This have promis-
ed the taxpayers of the county to
do and. if elected | will keep my
promise.
Summed up, | ask for this Office
at the hands of the voters OF Carter
county because need the office,
because am competent to do the
work OF the office, because | believe
that the office should be handled
| in such a way as to save the tax
payers all unnecessary expense and
/ because | will do all that can De
done to save them this expense.
Promising only that which | kno"
| | can keep. and reiterating my pro-
mise to give the people an econom

THAT TWo-THIROS MAJORITY.

Does the system-the present sys-
fem of two-thirds majority being
necessary to a choice in democratic
convention. voice the will of the peo-
nlee majority of the votes cast
in the electoral college elects the
president. This means naked ma
jority of the votes cast by states OF
the union elect the president. Ii
means that states sending a majority
of electors to the convention, or COL
lege. of electors name the man elect
ed to serve the nation as executive
head. II means that the majoriy vote
expresses the will of the people. Ii
does not mean that the man who VIII
serve the people must have three
fourths a two-thirds or three-iifths
majority of all the votes cast in this
college.
Why not let the same rule apply TO
the nominating convention that ap-
plies to the electoral college? If the
electoral college declares the party 3
nominee who receives majority vote
of the states necessary, the choice
of all the people, why not let the man
receiving the majority of the votes
cast in the democratic convention be
declared the choice of the majority
of the people of the states voting for
him? 4,

The two thirds majority rule was
originally adopted thinking that the
greater majority of the people would
have a voice in the seletion of the
candidate. Unfortunately the meas

ends 1t is well near a physical i'm
