| note that there was quite a differ
ence between the reports Of the Superin.
tendenls' election Of January 8, as Civ,
gu by the Lawrence Democrat and The
Nashville Democrat Was the report
by the Lawrenceburg paper correct OF
did it desire 70 give The impression
that the two Democrats led and the
only candidate who claimed to be NO
thing Tut straight Republican polili,
Cslly was the last man in the race? Now
| was not present while the bslloling
was going on and would like for the
particulars" promised when the briel
report was given TO be published. ]
have been told that / did not receive 9
single Democratic vote. The Republi-
cans of the 18th District would like 70
know whether or not this Is true, 81
one of the magistrates of this district
pledged himself before the August elec.
ton to vote for me if my name went
before the court, provided the Republi-
cans here would support him. 1t is
conceded by all who know anything
about his election that he received more
Republican votes than Democrats.
There we're two tickets put out or rather
fOnr Democratic candidates and the Re
publioans had it in their power to elect
whichever two Of these they preferred
They felt that they had n right to ask
that the men they helped 20 elect
vote for home man for an Office which
should not be in any way connected
with poltici,
AS before stated one of the
men elected promised, 80 l am informed
by reliable man with whom he made
the trade that he would vote for me II
should be a candidate To keep The
public from accusing the wrong man,
might say that this man has for q nun
Der Of years been Superintendent OF q
Sunday school.
Now | presume that-it would be hard
to find man who is better satisfied with
the result of the election than thC
writer. The court elected capable
and most deserving young man whos'
record IS a school man is recOmmen-
dation TO him. was not candidate
till the day Of the election, but at thu
request of friends who thought thel,
might be possible chance of my cleo
tion, l filed my certificate and allowed
my name to go before the court. | bal
to assure my friends that my gratitud,
and appr citation for their interest il
my behalf was no less in deSeat than
l had b. en- successful.
The point l wish to make is that tn
election YVES controlled by politica
leaders, campaign pledges and obligs
tions to the contrary Notwithstanding.
