trouble in our party and say Brewer o.
Rogers, either, was nominated, bni
what would you say? You would say
this Is not so, for know who is nomin'
ated. This would also apply to Kelly

things in the least. One fact is certa n
that II this is kept up John A. Hoge
will be the next trustee, and the Whit
we'll bank will receive no deposits like
it would If Rogers could carry out his
plan.
Then again M. f. jackson will be
your sheriff. l was at this democratic
rally. The whole of our family was
there. You could, IL you had been
there, have seen +. A. X s picture and
scheme in every democratic connte-
nance, for he worked it up. But to
each and every republican in Marion
county | now ask you, are you willing
to say this, 81 am willing to turn the
offices over TO the democrats for TWEEN
ty-hye years, because you and will not
do our duty as republicans. | say these
men are not what thgy al four claim to
be, and on this point we all agree. Now
while we all agree let us agree to thls
one thing that these four candidates
are rot the republican party.
There are others and about 1400 more
than these four. Ne must all agree to
to this fact. Now will we as republi-
cans stand still and let this stand this
way, orwill we come out dat-footed
and say. Boys, we are too good friends
to you that claim to be republican NOM
inees to not meet in the court house of
the old republican county of Marion,
and ask L. p. Brewer and S. L. Rog-
ers to come off that limb they say they
are on and look old harmony straight
in the face and say, "As for me and
mine we will say party without fric.

from our opponents. We ask the party
to forgive US for this little friction.
Then every republican will at once give
you the right hand of republican friend

hereafter Republicans who are not
willing to do this, already for Hoge and
jackson and the balancs of the demo-
cratic ticket. AS they themselves put
lt, Our last ticket nominated by us
democrats, is the winning ii ket."
Repu blicans, this is the democratic
song, and am tired of this being fred
in my face. Are you, or are you not?
II you want to change their tune, rally
to our party now. Make demands OF
the secre tary and chairman now, and If
they will no. call us together we will
apply to the executive committee and
ask them &, call us together and by
this bring harmony, and by this make

Kelly and CoppiDgBr, instead of them
going blindfolded into the we'll of self
destruction by this party falling bead

never end. Do we want to act as our |

If the county, that 1--WE nominated the |
