ton is: Brundidge or Hays, which ?
While Judge Hays is a stranger
to the people of this neighbor-
hood we cannot say anything against
him, but we cannot see why he refus-
es to meet his opponent in Joint de-
bate. The Hon. S. Brundidge and
former congressman from our dis
trict is we'll known to the people here
and is known to be capable and eff
cient to hold the Office to which ne as
pires. Brundidge has been tried and
found true and we feel safe in saving
that he is out for clean politics and
will make the state one of the best
governors We ever had. Brundidge
is the peoples choice and he will be
elected by the largest majority that
was ever given gubernatorial can
didate.
