TO THE PEOPLE OF BEN.
TON COUNTY.

In going to the different places
of this county in the interest of my
candidacy for the Office of State
Senator l find that some men, who,
perhaps, wouldn't know how to tell
the plain, unvarnished truth, are
saying that eff l should be elected
the county would be forced to issue
a large amount of road bonds. ."
These men know that they speak
falsely when uttering such state
ments They know further that, If
elected, under no circumstances
would | be party to such deal
if it were in my power to do SO.
What honest man is there who be-
lieves for one moment that such q
measure could be legally passed
and executed? Not one in this
county. When road bonds are is
sued in this county it will be by a
direct vote of the people and no
other way.
| trust, gentlemen, that no man
will be deceived by these false
hoods circulated for no other pur-
pose but to mislead you and defeat
me the polls.
Respectfully yours,
r. l. SToCKARD.
