MR.. Mupp FOR CONGRESS-.

Only about four weeks intervene
before the two great parties Of this
state will be called upon to select
their representative candidates for
Congress. As to who will be the
Democratic candidate we are not
concer ned further than to say, we
hope he will be a good man. And
this from State prize.
The independent has remained
silent up to this time as to its choice
hoping, that after all VIII. wanted to
he candida'es were known, a better
opportunity would lie Afforded for a
choice. We imagine, they are all in
now.
Our county has a candidate in the
person Of Mr.. Sydney 4. Mudd, aud
other things ueing equal, believing it
the best policy that, we should get
behind his candidacy. And 10 con-
nection Herewith, we desire to say
that our choice is not from a perso-
nal stand point bat for partY's good
IS we see it. Mr.. Mudd is free from
entangling Influences, and political
sins; young and active and measures
up, in our judgment, to person well
suited to represent the party in Con-
gress.
While not Jacksonian in the
principle. "Thst 70 the victor belongs
the spoils." We believe as the par
W in power is responsible, nation
and state administration should be
managed by the party in power ac-
cording 10 the principles Of that par
ty and through the best clements OF
its votaries. We are opposed to
trucking to opposing patty influences
and the management of an admin s.
tration by trading politicians az un-
wise and detrimental to the party's
good.
We believe, Mr.. Mudd, agrees with
us in this general line of party policy
Our conclusion in supporting Mr..
Mudd has been reached after masur
thought, therefore, we want it under
stood, that our endorsement of his
candidacy is no sham. The Congress
sional district should be represented
in Congress by a Republican, and
having looked over the field of cam
didates most carefully, believe Mr.
Mudd's chances OF election are the
best, herce we endorse the SAINT, adj
wise our friends and all loyal party
men to do likewise.

and demanded that he support me
for Congress, otherwise they would
do SO regardless.
Now, | want to say that after the
appearance of your denial vf this ar
ticle, which denial was published in
one Of the Baltimore papers, / have
lie rned upon investigation and now
know that your friends informed me,
as they have aone time and again on
previous occasions, that they pro-
posed to support for the nomination
for Congress the man Endorsed by
you.
want to assure you, Mr.. Editor,
that hal nothing t, do with the
writins or publishing of said articles
and knew nothing about them until /
saw them IN the papers.
/ took no active part in the pri
maries of 1912. Iadmit that a mum
Der of my friends did fight and or
poso candidates for Sheriff and Coun-
ty Commissioner, Mesas. Burroughs

standing so far as our agreement of
