A Political Card.
To the Voters of Adair County:

| To the Voters OF Adalr County:
Well, as usual, there are some IN
scrupulous persons running around
over the county misrepresenting me.
Here is what l have caught in the
past few days. These scrappings OF
creation are telling that should l be
elected County Judge that 1 was in
favor of taking the road funds out OF
the precincts, out in the county and
putting that on the CampbellsVille
pike. Now, the man or men who cir
cuiates this know that they are tell
ing falsehood of the blacklist type.
Here is how 1 stand on the road prop
osition: am in favor of putting ev.
cry cent that the pike takes in back
on the pike and this amounts to about
$4,000 per year now. l want every
person who passes over this pike
watch carefully and see if you think
that it looks like there has been $751;
900 expended on it in che past four
years. Friends, it is a dirty shame.
The job that has been put up on this
pike. In regard to the county roads:
Should 1 be elected Judge 1 expect to
see that each and every Magisterial
district gets every cent that it pays
for road taxes to he returned and
spent in the district from which il
came. also expect to see that the
road hands are supplied with tools tt
work with. To my great surprise, il
canvassing the county, there arr
many roads that haven't single too
on them. What a shame this is
How do you expect these people t
work without anything to work with
Now, as the last days of the campaign
are on, 1 want to tell the voters tn
conditions of things over the county
The larger per cent Of the whisk
men are organizing against me, espeC
tally in Columbia, and you all watc
it IN your respective precincts. an
You will see that it holds good a
over the county. Now, this is sell
evident fact that there is "nigger
in the wood pile, for they know flu
we'll that if 1 am elected there wi
be hot time in the old town and a
so in the country. Now, 1 want I
appeal to every mother who has
, drunken son, to every wife who has
drunken husband, to every sister WI
!, has a drunken father or brother, an
every young lady who has drunke
:, sweetheart to get behind me, ar
stay behind me, and 1 will help yo
dry those tears that you have battle
your pillows with for years Nov
boys, you who are drinking all of tn
b. moonshine, extracts hair tonic,
know every one of you and personal
1 like every one of you, but you kno
full we'll that am right in this pro
y osition. You know that lots of "
fellows have good wives and sweet Ii
V tie children, and when you go hon
. with that awful smelling breath TIL
your wife needs Gas mask; and "
g ought to take pet Billy Goat or
20 pole cat to your children to Ike,
down that awful odor. Now, boy
l. reconsider and help me for will be
le help to you Now, as have befo
= said to the voters, if you will eIe
