 The Graphic, the free bridge paper | of Pine Bluff and the Guardian
 Angel of Honey Boy Brewster for 1 Sheriff, claiming to be a Democrat
 and the leader of his party in this | county and running for third term in that office. seems to be troubled with case of too much Collier and
 not enough of the plain unvarnished truth. There was time when the courthouse ring and their heachmen in and out of office could fool the | people, and do it all the time, but
 thank God that the people have beat Solmso1 and Brewster to it, for
 they woke up long time ago and the editor of the Graphic with it's
 third term candidate for Sheriff are
 still "a-sleeping" but they will wake eyes.
 1 recommend the fairness of the editorial in your paper relative to the proxies and the voting of same in any committee meeting. But when did it ever become a wrong to vote proxy in political meeting on any issue anywhere at any time? !? The little political Tammanyized Wall street of Pine Bluff feel the reins Slipping through their fingers with a possibility that they will land in the hands of people who are not afraid
 to do the right, open and above board. It is laughable and ridicul- ously funny to hear the Graphic pranting about proxies and their
 Honey Boy candidate for sheriff. The sheriff is presumed to be the
 leader of his party in his county. As
 such he should never have kept his seat in the Democratic Committee nor should he have voted on any question
 about the election which will be held
 December ?, 1913, but he should have resigned as the chairman of the com
 mittee. Why did he not? Did he
 have any proxies, and if So, why?
 Was it wrong for Brewster as sheriff
 an dchairman of the committee to get
 proxies? Was it wrong for him to l vote then? No indeed! Perish the
 thought! It was right because he
 was for the free bridge. But if he had been against it, honor of horrors, kwhat a crime he would have com mitted!
 I desired no proxies whatever, but 1 urged those who were members to be present in person. When the meeting 1 was in session held only two proxies; they had right to. vote.
 had a right to vote for them. When
 did the railroad attorney, Judge
 Woodbridge, become such an able ad-
 vocate for the free bridge? Was it the bridge issue that caused him to
 make his great oratorical Falstaffian effort to resound through the cor riders of the Temple of Justice, be-
 cause he was afraid the people might get an opportunity to express them selves on this issue one time at a free, fair, honest election, with a fair and honest count? Was that wlfat
 was tickling the judge or was it the fear that putting it on the ticket
 would make Honey Boy Brewster's $
 defeat greater than it is, or was going to be prior to that time? At
 that meeting held only the proxies
 of John Ussery and c. A. Sadler. That would have been all that would have
 voted if it had not been for the long
 legal, dont-put-it-on-the-ticket speech
 of Judge Woodbridge against the
 bridge issue going on the ticket
 which was causing MT. L. w. Clem.
 ent and Mir. B. N. Word to lose theil
 train going home that afternoon
 Looked like the judge was talking
 against railroad time. MT. Clement and MT. Word were in the meeting
 and Mir. Word were in the meeting
 all the time and finally seeing tht
 vote would not be taken until Ions
 after their train had left, they lef I their proxies with me. Would thu result have been different had the, |remained? Not by single vote | They would have voted ust n l vot
