REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN
PREDICTS VICTORY

Since August election has past and
gone, and / as the chairman of my
party passed thru the compaign with
a most gratifying victory, as the
party captured every Office in the gift
of the people in my county, for which ]
claim some honor and victory for the
republican party to be crowned with,
the next most important political duty
that rests on me and my party is to
elect a representative of Marion coun-
ty, which l am frank to state will be
done on the 3rd day of November.
Hon. J. j. Dykes will be elected over
W. Fl. Wilson by 25 to 80 majority
W., L. Barber, who is making the race
along down the line between the two
old original parties on an independent
and non partisan ticket, is doing SO
without party endorsement or recogni-
tion, and will go down at the end of
the political line in defeat, although
Mr. Barber is my personal friend out
side of politics, but inside of my obli-
cations and duties as the chairman of
the republican party, l am against
him, and as be is fighting my party to
finish, and our platform as repub-
lican party, in as much as he finds so
many mistakes and so many faults
with the republican party, it makes
imperative my duty to defeat Mr.. Bar
Der and let him go down in defeat, and
hold the banner and wing of the re-
publican party together and let Bar
Der and Wilson both go down in de-
feat. as each gentleman is running on
opposing platform and bitterly oppose
nae and my party issues and platforms.
am pleased to state that the repub-
lican party and the sensible democrats
of my county, who cast their elective
franchise for J. J. Dykes, will be y
vote saved and vote cast In the right

Marion county are going to elect j. j.
Dykes their. next representative in the
lower house of the legislature without
a doubt l say this from the present
facts in view. with republican ma
jority backed up in front of me to
base this statement on and this state
ment is confirmed by large per cent
of leading and influential democrats.
