FIELDER EXPECTED TO RUN
AGAIN.

We are not authorized to formally
announce the fact but are informed
that Hon. John s. Fielder will again
be candidate to represent Madison
and Henderson counties, as Pictorial
Representative in the Legislature. In
his former service Mr.. Fielder cast no
vote that we did not sanction-hence
we have nothing against him. How
ever, he will agree with us that if 9TH
ers chose to run, that they will be
given fair field and open chance to
win the Democratic nomination in the
two counties. John s. is built on fair
lines and is willing to give the other
