We uObc W. y. OdEtcIs uI South
Pittsburg, was elected chairman Of
the democratic executive committee Of
Marion Co. A few leading democrats
said to me as they left whitwell Sat-
urday morning that they were going
down to lay my body and my republic
can party low in the shade. As the
chairman Of the republican executive
committee of Marion, I beg 60 state
and inform them that the move Of
their party action Saturday, looks good
to me, and means republican victory
from bottom to top. / just laughed
and laughed when viewed the polit-
zeal field over and see victory for the
republican party in Marion county
from Kelly down to Johnston and
Tate. / will further state with the
present chairman of the democratic
party at the head of the throttle and
the machine, we will have a complete
walkover and a landslide in August
with every republican nominee elect
ed without the loss of single man.
You may howl end you may boiler,
but let me tell you we are going to
shoot you a dead shot with republi-
can cannon all in August. Hull gull,
gentlemen, handful. How many.
Five. Who are they and what are the
names Kelly, Long, Curtis, Tate,
johnson. Please take notice for the
above names is the handwriting hung
upon the wall. If any republican of
my county at any time needs good
lecture on democracy and is about to
break ranks, l would be pleased by a
notice by postal to furnish the weak
brother few copies of tbs Yellow
Jacket to revive bis downhearted and
broken spirit, and let him enjoy one
more old time republican laugh, as we
slide along down these good old demo-
cratic times. l will safely vouch that
If you will read few copies of the
Yellow Jacket, you will never see
cause to regret having read it, and it
will keep you from bolting and joi n
ing the socialist party
Say, by the way, noticed where
the socialist party had issued call,
signed the Whitwell committee, to
meet on March % at the courthouse. at
Jasper to organise and put out So
cialist ticket for county offices, which
SOUNDS to me like type of ignorance
gone to seed There isn't enough So
cialists in Marion county to organize
such party and there are not enough
to select candidates from and con I'll
tute county committee without sub
stituting the candidates for the COM
mittee. The socialist hatch up in Ma
rion county is like seven months ba-
by, born before maturity. They hard
ly ever live, and so is this socialist
hatch up party in Marion county. 1t
will never live, and virtually will be
dead when born. and every true heart
ed and honest democrat or republican
who bolts and joins this socialist par
ty hereafter win be politically dead
and won't be recognized by either of
the two original parties, and will be
branded as traitor and Jonah, and
hereafter will be virtually disfranchis-
ed from holding any Office of trust and
houor in either the democratic or re-
publican parties.
1t is my highest desire to honor
and praise the two old original par
ties, which ale we'll established and
recognized by this great government
of ours. While we don't visit to atfil-
iate ourselves with the socialist party
in their called meeting l will safely
vouch that not true republican or
democrat in Marion county, who has
any respect for his party will attempt
to join in or take any part in this So
cialist call meeting and movement on
foot. 1t only means division, con.
fusion, destruction, and is detrimen-
tai to either republican or democrat ic
parties to be hoodooed, handicapped
and led off by such windy doctrines,
which I am proud, indeed, after all
their speeches. called meetings and
all the talent they can display on the
stump by the speakers they propose to
put in the field, will have no more
effect on the republican or democratic
parties in Marion County than cast
steel. And again will say l am
proud there is no dependence on hot
air, and don't anticipate the least
shake or hitch in my patty by the So
,ialist and middle man organizations
IF which the bulk and head quarters
IF the band is at Whitwell. Tue chair
man, so l am informed. the party who |
Is attempting to organize Marion

sharp look out when you hear the pol
tical whistle or bell. Beware Of |
false limitations, none other genuine |
