A word along the line of politics rel
alive to the postoffice at Whitwell. II
congress fails to vote down the action
of President Taft on the civil service
and appointments of postmasters under
his administration, there will be moth
ing doing as there sure will be no va
cancy to fill here by President Wilson.
Note this paragraph as you move along
down the line, but will say in the
event congress does vote her out, take
notice to a number of Holsters that are
on hand here gigging in politics as to
who they desire to be postmaster here
I don't know the number of applicants
filing claims, and attempting to prove
their loyalty to the democratic party,
and how true and faithful ard loyal
thew we're on the last election and
how they rallied around the flag for
Judge Moon, when the proof shows
they fought him to finish, and also
used a little owl soup in behalf OF
Moons opponent And some say they
really we've 80 far gone under the in
fiuence of owl soup and vote getters,
they were virtually DISTINGUISHED and
never got to vote at all. Now as a
republican, l have supported Judge
Moon and a majority of my party did
| like wise. | advocated Judge Moon S
candidacy prior to his election. The
same was endorsed by majority OF
nv partv. aud we republicans have
supported Judge Moon for the last IL
wears and he is we'll aware of that
fact. While Moon is democrat and
always stood by the principles of the
democratic party, he never branched
with any of these side wing minority
issues, but the history and records OF
his past administration shows him to
be representative of the people. The
vely men that fought him and rebuk-
ed him, now want to dictate to him az
to how he will cast his influence for
the postmastership at Whitwell. Will
say that we republicans will outweigh
such democrats as have put up fight
for the postoffice here with Judge
Moon and we are determined to &C
quaint our beloved Moon as to the 10y
atty and disloyalty of all applicants
and beg to have voice and place o.
recognition as to what democrat viii
fill this place, and we further ask tina,
he be Marion Countian who has re
sided in this county at least 90 year
prior to the date of his application
and also man that supported Moor
and we republicans are further inter
ested that the appointee to this trusted
Office be a man that is not a foreigner
or from another locality, and has here
tofore resided in Marion County as
citizen for OF least 90 years, and W.
want Judge Moon, when he comes Il
consider and recommend man TO
this responsible place at Whitwell, t.
excuse all dictators that reside at Jas
per and South Pittsburg, and also a
CHATTANOOGA, and dash their letters II
the waste basket. Neither one of thos
places should dictate as..to who Judg
Moon shall recommend to this place
We republicans are as much interested
in the appointment of loyal democra
to fill this Office as we are in support
ing Judge Moon, and consclentiousl
believe that the Moon republicans VIII
have Loyalty supported him all tn
way through in the past will have
greater influence in this respect OF ar
pointments than those democrats tina
fought him to finish. All we ask
to let us republicans help select tru
and loyal Moon democrat and ask I
turn down any applicant who can
prove up his loyalty and discredit an
witness as to his loyalty that appear
!. Of his type ana of record in this tow
that worked and fought vice versa.
