COMMITTEE MEETS.

Pursuant to the order of Demo-
cratic County Chairman F. T. Hatch
err, the Democratic County Commit
tee met in the court room here last
Monday evening to make tentative
preparations for the ensuing cam
paign to be launched this fall
Among other things considered by
the committee, pledge similar to
that passed by the Republican com
mittee was drawn up prohibiting
any candidate for a democratic nom
nation from using money, whiskey
or any undue influence of any char
acter whatsoever upon the elections.
In view of the vast amount of po-
litical corruption that has charact-
erized elections upon both sides In
this county for many years, 1t has
been deemed expedient by both par
ties to exercise their mutual efforts
to check corrupt practices so far as
they can. To this end each Is bind
ing its candidates to strict honesty.
