cialist comrades Let me beg TO state
and inform you that il not the record
aud policy of the republican party &c
discharge men for their polisical diff
ferences, and l am pleased to state
that there is no record of any power
delegated to any republican of the t.
@. /. Co. whereby one of my party
has been the company's supelintend-
emit. II is all democratic. Why, oh
why, "Uncle Tom," do you charge
me and my party with the conduct
and action of the democratic leader,
with the downfall and overthrow and
the casting of your socialist patty
out of the mines. Why do you at
tempt to lay this action and perform
ance at the door of the republican
party. Why don't You charge the
guilty party Don't You know the
party doing this dirt to your party is
a democrat and a democratic leader of
this county. Won't you accept the
truth and be fair and write the truth
as it Naturally exists You say my
party over here hasn't ever done any
thing for the laboring man. Evil
dence is the thing hoped for always.
Sir, my party, the republican party,
took up w. A. Cantrell, labor can
didate, and twice elected him sheriff
of our county on the republican ticket,
when the democratic superintendent
and democratic company had him
victfmized and condemned. The same
party you want your party to vote
for, who refuses to your men work in
their mines. My party twice elected
F. NJ. Mccullough as sheriff as la
Dor candidate, and also Westmoreland
twice. Is not just little credit due
my party If proper credit is enter
ed, am pretty sure you can't sus-
tain your charge of the republicans
over here discbarging any of your
men. Why don't you make inquiry
and get the facts before you charge a
party or private individuals, for fear
you make wonderful mistake am
again tickled in my sleeves. can
imagine see You and the democratic
leader, who is the guilty party with
out doubt, who has been discharging
your socialists long time, and be
doesn't deny it. / can see you and he
walking hand in hand. l imagine
can see you after all of this discharg-
ing record bow down just before you
and your socialist brothers vote in
August, kiss his boots in taking your
approval of all the acts he ever did,
putting out of the mines all professed
socialists. This is what you say you
will go to the democratic party in Au-
gust. will stake my life, sir, if
you can get the superintendent Of the
coal company here to give you cor
rect statement of facts, and to assert
over his own signature that ever ask
ed him to discharge a living man,
either democrat, republican or social
ist. just why you write up such
false assertions is somewhat of puz-
zle to the reading public over here
where they know better Bless your
soul, can't place you as being the
representative of any party under the
sun. Why don't you give Rankin a
write upS He is your candidate, but
says he don't care whether you are for
him or not, want you to write a
piece every week and give the repub-
lican party hail Columbia for dis
charging your man. You sure are
getting there on fast train like the
Cannon Ball" Everybody is now be-
lieving every word you say and the
republican party is in charge Of the
mines and is fixing every socialist that
comes within a mile and a half of
their mines oh, isn't that sweet
dope. just let us have whole lot of
that It's so rich and so juicy, give
it to us often 1t is a duty we owe to
stick to the party we represent or
bolt the party ticket and step out.
l would like to say word relative
to the new road move on mountain
set for june 6. am not against the
move if the road goes north of Big
Fork and Suck Creek, but if it goes
down Suck Greek over the bluff to
the Narrows at Tennessee river, | am
against it. The fact it can't be done
cost of one hundred thous-
and dollars is why was against that |
lower 1oute move. Remember the |
county has already spent S., on
that road, and so be careful as to
which route you take from the top to |
get over Main Suck Creek. If you fail |
all is lost. This is what l had refer |
ence to. don't see why the people |
over there didn't ditch and drain off |
and save the road the county already |
built, instead of letting it wash away
and ruin. but maybe you will do bet |
ter. You know when | was commits
,ioner | put five men on that road two |
years, and saved it, but when went |
put you let the road go to the bad. 1t |
WASH tiny fault. Now, if you will |
get on line you can get over on. am
With you. Representative. |
