SoNauy anonymous Communication
calculated to hurt the good name OF
, Charles Town. The undersigned sun
porters of Mr.. Wysong and Mr.. Kelly.
representing 6S per cent of the votes
cast In that election, feel that a great
injustice has been done to the town

munication in order that the people Of

The election was fair and honest and
the three gentlemen running were all
honorable men, anyone Of whom would
have made a good mayor.
Mr.. Wysong, who was elected mayor.
Is one OF our best citizens, born and
bred here, and has always borne the
best reputation for good citizenship
and we feel sure that he will make a
good officer.

To The Editor of The Sun-Sir:
| was a commissioner in ward No. 2
at the recent election, and there was
nothing fraudulent and unfair about
it, and ! am sure | can say the same
OF the other wards. Mr.. Wysong was
the man the majority wanted, SO they
voted for him and he won, and |, for
one, know he will make a good mayor
and if he had been beaten he would
have taken it like a man.
Lady Voter" you and your COL
leagues have done far more harm
than good to Mr.. Dunaway, the Purity
League and the Woman's Club, which
you will find out soon or late to your
sorrow. am always for a clean, de-
cent town, as is every good citizen; but
not by your method. | don't wonder
you are ashamed to sign your name to
such an article. Enough said. Only
il you can't fight in the open, don't
fight at all.

was not your intention to do the town

of the party writing this communca-
ton, together with his apology, be
published in your paper.

! by certify that we (nor any one Of us)
