candidates instead of letting Roy
Gillian, the secretary, collect it.
Now, the men who held the electioR
didn't get their pay after it was paid
in. That was the reason | wrote
about it. They wanted to know where
it went and what it went for, but it
is none of a workingman' business
where this money goes. He must let
these little jack leg lawyers do as they
please and vote for the grand old par
ties which have done so much for the
laboring people.
Now, Jim Morrison. you said Bill
White was on honest ground. If he is
not guilty of the charge of being a
traitor, You have lied, one way or the
other, for You told me in front of the
pool room at WhiUwell the morning
that you had letter backed to A. j.
Brannan at Tracy City, that you were
writing all about Bin Whites past life
and you also said all that went on in
the union hall. Now, if Mr. Branuan
has got that letter dated, l can find
out just what date that you had this
talk.
Now, Mr.. Morrison, l didn't think
that your way was right. trying to
make better man of Ben Station by
publishing his'past record, but as you
said that that was what you were try
ing to do, l will try a little of the
same thing on you and may be it will
make you little better man. Mr.
Morrison, didn't you collect damage
suit for Will Rankin from the N, G.
& st. L. R. R., and keep it all, and
he didn't get any of it, and didn't you
claim post hole digger that widow
woman had picked sallit and sold for
the money and went to- the hardware
store and bought it and carried it
home, and you claimed it and got mad
at her, and doubt whether you will
speak to her ON account of it or not.
She was dead brother Mason's wild
ow. Now, is that the way Masons do
dead brothers widows3 | don't think
that it is
Now, l would write some other
things. but won't unless l have to.
Now, l will say few words to Mr..
White. l haven't reduced my charge
at all. There is no use of worrying
the editor, writing so much. If have
charged you with a falsehood bring
me into court, and I will prove my
charge. You will find me on Etna
mountain any time. l want to say to
Bill White that didn't talk to j. w.
Morrison, while he was working for
the I. G. /. Co. at any time. 1t has
mt been long since Morrison told me
what l charged you with. 1t seems
as though Bill White wants to mislead
somebody, I want to say to him that
the republican party alone didn't elect |
Cantrell nor Westmoreland, but it was
the laboring people from all parties.
Mr.. White need not boast of so much
that the republican party has done for
the laboring people. Where they have |
done one thing for the laboring peo-
pie they have done ten thousand |
against them. Would Mr.. White want !
the record of the republican party pub
lished the way things have baen car
ried on in this county under this ring
rule Would the republican voters
like to have it published in the News |
Didn't the republican representative |

There was some filth at !
Whitwell and tried to get the health |
doctor up there to look after it, but it |
would have bothered one of the ring
stels and he wouldn't come. It was |
reported that lie and soma more of the !
ring were up there one night about |
full of pop skull and he said
he had come to look after that filth. |
Now, that is the way things are run
under this ring rule. 1t is up to the |
working PEOPLE to say whether they
will put up with such things. Will |
they still vote for the ring August 6,
or by their vote say that we have no
business with this ring7
! haven't yet got Bill White to state |
where the republican primary money
went, but two of the candidates were |
around the other day paying the other
men for holding the election. Now,
that was good of these men to pay the |
men for their work but the |
question is, whether they paid it be- |
cause they thought these men were
due it, or were afraid of losing votes. |
II they paid it because they were
afraid of losing votes, it was for a
selfish standpoint. One of the men
that they paid told me that they said
they thought they would pay it out of |
their own pocket rather than have any
more to do about it.

Marion County, or any other county,
