The Adair County news., 1921-09-27
Mr.. JEFFRlES WRITES A CARD.
To the Voters of Adair County:

frank to say that am highly pleased
as to the outlook. Occasionally
hear cry or yell as coming from
some lonely Jackal or Coyote that
had wandered wild from his pack and
perched on some distant summit,
seemingly saying, cannot understand
and such is as some of the people to-
day and always was and always will
be They don't understand, they
don't want to understand, and if they
did they could not understand, but
there is one thing want to impress
upon their minds that l am in the
County Judges race to win and 1
firmly believe am going to win not
withstanding the fact that some Ian
tern. jawed unscrupuloUs enemies have
put out report over the county that
l did not care anything about beng
elected, but was just running to keep
someone else from running, and have
even limited that possibly that 1 had
been hired to make this race Now
the party or parties, who put out this
report are set of cowardIy liars pure
and simple, and are low-down enough
to steal the money off of their dead
friends eyes, if they were sure that
they could get away with it. Shame
on you, for you are disgrace to COM
mon decsncy. want to say that 1
am not for sale. l did not
come off of that end of the cloth.
Now, you cowardly would be assassins
60 put on sackloth and sit in ashes
and try and get forgiveness for the
wrong that you are trying to do to
me, but God bless your sweet souls,
the voters of old Adair know me, and
you cannot put such stuff down them.
1 know that there are few fellows in
the county that are against me-.
They sit around and criticize me and
try to create a sentiment against me
, 1 don't blame you for it bit, for if 1
was as crooked as some of you fellows
are, would sure be against any hon.
est man that would enforce the law
and bring such fellows TO justice, as
some of you fellows are, but if l was
of the same caliber that some Of you
are, 1 would not even critlcise the
Devil. 49,.
The Columbia Republican wants to
know how am going to vote in No
Vember, that is none of the E1itors
business but to keep him from throw
ing himself violently upon the ground
and cutting himself with stones and
otherwise mutilating mis- beautiful
self. will tell him so here goes !
am going to vote for one independent.
l am going to vote for some Democrats
and 1 am going to vote for some Re-
publicans, now smoke this in your pipe
and see if you can get your nerve set,
tied from this and other episodes that
could ne mentioned The Columbia
Republican also said that could do
nothing without the concurrence of
the rest of the Fiscal Court should l
be elected. That is very true, but l
said would do certain things by the
cooperation Of the good people of
Adair county and that embraces the
Fiscal Court which to my certain
knowledge are first class business men.
Should l be elected some of the same
Fiscal Court will be on the bench that
passed on the claim OF the Columbia
Republican when 1t presented claim
for $500 for printing ballots and if you
remember that, our good Fiscal Court
very promptly made an allowance for
$500 and everybody knows how the
Editor paved, stamped and rushed
frantically around fixing to sue the
county, out he never sued. And the
Fiscal Court saved the county $500. 90.
Some business, eh So don't worry
about me and the Fiscal Court taking
care of the county, for we will sure do
it. Now, in conclusion, want to ask
every friend have in the county to
get busy and see after my interest
and put me in position, so can see
after ycur interest, in which shall
i take great pride in giving every man,
: woman and child in Adair county a
4 fair deal, and put our county and
! town second to none in the state. ]
am yours for business, and bettel
town and better county.
