The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-04-03

house Monday for the purpose OF "reso-
luting' Representative G. +. Boyer
out of the Republican party. The
meeting was enthusiastic in It's bitter
ness and what YVES not said condemn
ing the representative who has driven
thirty four members of the legislature
out of the state to break aquorum, had
not been found in the dictionary at a
late date.
Poor Old Worn Out Judas Iscariot
was dug forth and cited as a compari-
son with apologies to the dead. Bene-
dict Arnold was again dragged forth
from the grave and told to look how
he was in comparison. 1t was great
day for the s'resoluters" and now the
Cooke COUNT representative should
come home and in sack cloth and ashes
beg for repentance. The resolutions
in full are as follows:
BE it resolved by the Republican
Executive Committed of Cooke County,
that we condemn and denounce the
treachery of G.. F. Boyer, to the re-
publicans of the county, b. casting
his vote in the legislature to turn the
election machinery over to the regular
democrats. His whole course in the
legislature has been contrary to the
wishes of the people of the county,
but we regard his vote on the election
law as the browning act OF his treach-
cry. Without his vote this bill could
not have passed. We feel that he has
thus disgraced the county in the eyes
of the outside world and therefore
deem it our duty to repair this injury
to the county as far as possible, by ex-
planning that he is an embe1zeler of
the power he is exercising to misrep-
resent us in the legislature. No man
ever came into possession power more
dishonesty than Boyer, according TO
his own admission. He says now that
he is not republican and "to h
with the republicans" Had he been
honest enough to say this before the
election, the county certainly would
have escaped this disgrace; but he ran
as a republican and deceived republic
cans into voting for him as a republi-
can. AS proof of this statement we
quote from his public utterances in
The press. Under date of October. 18th
1912, Boyer said over his signature
"You ask me to explain who is man
aging my campaign" "My answer is
that hundreds of the truest republicans
of Cooke County are doing it," He
said further IN the same article. 81
have u right to MAKE this fight for my
own rights and for the rights OF thu
republican party of Cooke County
Addressing his opponentin the same
article he said: 81 was entitled K
that nomination which you claim t.
carry" He said still further: "Cock'
County has always Eeen republican
and all true republicans want to SCI
the party progress and prosper"
In another signed article under dat
OF October, 10Th. just week befor
the election, Boyer said among othe
things: 81 am republican born ant
bred in its faith and principles.
In 30 public utterance before th
election did he ever profess to be
"Bull Moose or anything other thar
a republican. 1t was by this sort o
: treachery lie got TO the legislature.
I, To add insult 10 injury, the republi
. can party of Cooke County has honor
ed this arch traitor as it has few men
has Kept him In Office for more thar
f, twenty years and now feaps as its re
ward, treason as black and damnabl
, as that of Benedict Arnold to hi
country, or Judas Iscariot TO tn,
Savior.
This modern .|ndas, apologies Il

while he is the most subserviept ane

The fact that he signed an agreement

caucus.
