j l.. LOVE
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 5th day of August, 1916.
WILL T., WARD
Notary Public.
My commission expires Jan. 1918.
MuldroW is little out of the
way place in the northeast corner
OF the county, not over a mile
from the Clay county line. In the
early zoos Col. Muldrow had his
old servant appointed postmaster
at the station named in his honor,
because there was not a white
person living there to hold the Of
flee, and until MIR. Joyner gave
publicity to the fact there was not
D percent of of the white people Of
the county who knew there was a
negro postmaster at that place.
Further, there has never been any
effort made to oust him; and Mr..
Love who recently applied for the
place is the only white man to
want it, and he has been q patron
of the office but a few months.
We do not know with what po-
litical party Cooper Muldrow af-
filiates, and do not care; but do
know that Mr.. Joyner was ap"
pointed postmaster at the A. u M.
College by the Republican party,
the same as Cooper was at Mul~
drow. And Joyner has shown his
affiliation and good faith to that
party by making liberal contribuo
tions to two of it's presidential
campaign funds. Therefore, Mr.,
Joyner was let down and out when
his term expired, just as Cooper
will be when his time is out, if
there is white porson at Mul>
drow who will have it,
But regardless of Mr.. Joyner's
earlier political affiliations when
the Democrats came in power,
Notwithstanding Cooper was still
postmaster at Muldrow, he be-
came an ardent Gambler supporter,
remained so until the moment he
received notice that he had lost
his job. He was such an enthu-
siastic Gambler man he did not
propose for Gambler to be put to
any expense in this county; but
he would defray all the same in
Oktibbeha. He would pay for
name on the ticket. Pay for his
card in the three papers published
in the County; and stand for
whatever other expense that might
be incurred. But as soon rs he
lost the post office at the College
he lost all love for Mr.. Gambler.
He purchased space IN two of the
County papers for the entire cam.
paign, and in that space ran
Cunningham Column, proclaiming'
Cunningham the only salvation
for the party.
But since Mr.. Cunningham has
seen proper to retire, Mr. Joiner
has deviated that paid space to Mr.,
Candler's only remaing opponent
Mr.. Joiner registered at the Col
lege as a student from another
County and another Congressional
District, and as an evidence that
he is not identified with the people
here, and does not know what he
saws about the political situation
here, the Osborn precinct which
includes Muldrow and all tkat
corner of the County will givoMr,
Gambler over 60 per cent Of her
votes on the 10th, instant. 10 be
moro exact the opposition has
never claimpd oyer 3 votes at that
percinct, and even Mr.. Matthew's
states to us that he was miSlead
into signing the Joiner affidavit,
and will vote for Mr.. Gambler OF
the 18th. as be has always done,
No well informed man, no matter
who he is supporting, really douhts
,bnt CaudIer will carry this Coun-
tv by tie same substantial majorl'
IS he has ALWAYS carried 1t.
Our people will not be deluded
ut this critical moment in our Ma.
tional History. Mr.. Caudler has
stood by our President all tie time
and is in perfect harmony with
