The campaign will soon be over, next

You know what have done for you

and you can only judge my future by
what ! have done in the past.
Mr.. Jackson has charged Mr. Gullett
and me with many different things but
you will remember he is conducting
this campaign just like all the others
he has made-gestures, sarcasms and
criticisms from the stump. But you
will note that Billie has one man after
him this time who has put the juice
TO Billie every time he bobbed up.
Kind friends, If | am not the deserv-
ing man this time, what will have TO
do to prove to you that / am? l have
been faithful to the trust imposed in
me as your deputy sheriff and promise
to serve you better if possible, in the
future
Yours for a better Randolph county
to live and raise our families in.
Your friend,
Adv. w. II. Perrin, Deputy Sheriff.

a fair consideration along with that
of my opponents and If you find that
| am the kind of man you want for
your next assessor viii feel thankful
to you for your help and anything you

preciated.
If | am elected TO serve you in this
capacity | will do my dead level best

official duties that there will be no
cause for You to regret having voted
for me.

many friends over the county in all
their undertakings for good and asking

and victory won, l am, with best

Tom J. Terral

Tom Terral is supported politically
and financially by certain banking in
terests in Little Rock. One of the
officers Of that institution recently pub
lished in the Gazette an article or in
terview favoring the abandonment and
removed of the State Insane Asylum
to a new site, and the purchase OF
2500 acres of land for new site. He
said the conditions around the asylum
are too crowded and II should be NOV
ed to the country. Those men have
scheme, and If Tom Terral Is elected
they will try to put 1t through. The
Insane Asylum has 100 acres of land.

new site of 25OO acres would cost a
half million dollars. Then would come
the contracts for new buildings, cost

up more taxes. Geo. W. Donaghey has
come out in the open for this scheme.
He is supporting Tom Terral and
others connected with the same bank
are supporting Tom Terral, and 1t is
reported that they are helping to pay
his campaign expenses. Donaghey is
a contractor, and Is a member of the
Board Of Control. II Terral is elected

stand against all schemes and pro-
jects to exploit the taxpayers. There
is no excuse TO abandon the present
Insane Asylum. 1t is a fine institu-
tion, and big enough TO take care OF
more than 22OO insane people. If it
Is abandoned and a new site Of $500
acres bought and new buildings erect
ed, it viii cost the State not less than
five million dollars. l stand against
any such scheme. Tom Terral has
been silent on the subject. Not word
from him about it, although this article
was published almost thirty days ago.
Judge j. W. Meeks knows about the
Insane Asylum. Ask him If 1t should
be abandoned.

Bob GulIett

Bob Gullett, who is your sheriff, has
boasted that 50 men out Of very hun
dred In this county win vote for Tom
Terral, and he gave out an interview
saying he would withdraw from the
race for Auditor to devote his time
to carrying as many votes as possible
for TerraL ! know great many will
vote just as he directs, or he would
not have made the statement he did.
However hope there viii be some in.
dependent voters who think for them

commend my platform, and ask them
to consider my claims

Of taxation from the farm lands for

Governor, ! have the backbone and
courage to do things, and win reduce

In Behalf of Per
rim For Sheriff
and Collector


To my friends in Randolph county
who elected me for your Sheriff ana
Collector. would not think OF trying
to tell you how to vote, but am sure
that you will not fall out with me when
ask you to support my friend ana
your friend, Hunter Perrin, for Sherii
and Collector.
My friends, | have always made the
plea that when there was bunch oil
men running for any Office that there
was always one man in the race that
was more entitled to win than any OF
the other fellows, then if this be true
which l am sure you will agree with
me that it is, then surely the man who
is most deserving at this time is none
other than Hunter Perrin.
| am for Hunter Perrin because !
know him to be real man in every
sense of the word.
l am for Hunter Perrin because !
know more about him than any of the
men running against him.
l am for Hunter Perrin because l
think he has made one of the best
Deputy Sheriffs the county has ever
had.
am for him because ] know that
I,o ho1 dona ,,,oro 20 an farna tho law
than any other man that has been con-
nected with the sheriff's office for a
number of years.
l am for him because he needs the
Office and the proceeds of the office
more than any of the other fellows that
are in the race.
am for him because defeat viii
hurt him more than any of the fellows
that are in the race.
Now, my friends, as stated before
am not trying to tell you how to vote
but i am asking you as a friend of
yours your support for the Office of
Sheriff and Collector on August 18th.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that we have the race won by a safe
majority but no one ever had more
votes than he needed and l am making
TO you my last appeal to stay on the
job and to never let up on your work
until the ballot is in the box.
l wish to say further that there has
been several hard things said about me
in this campaign, but l don't care one
straw for all of this for my friends
know me and l know and you know
that all of this has been done for nc
other purpose than to try to take votes
from Hunter Perrin, and l am sure
that they have made a complete fail
ure.
So, my friends, If you are my friends
please line up on the right and let's pu!
a man i'm the Sheriff and Collectors
Office that really is entitled to win and
one that has been tried and that we
know will make good.
So thanking you for the many favOrs
that you have shown me in the past
and remember am a friend to all the
people all the time.
/ am very respectfully,

A Letter To The
Voters of Ran
dolph Co.
To the Voters Of Randolph County:


To the Voters of Randolph County:
l am writing this letter as my final
appeal for your support to the import
ant Office of sheriff and collector of
our county.
On the stump throughout the county
have, without fear or favor, present
ed to you what your present admins
tratiOn has been as ! have seen it, and
have promised you that if | am again
elected l will render you the same ser
vice In the future that l have render
ed in the past, that is, that l will
treat all men equally and fairly in the
discharge of my duties as your sheriff,
and | will always be your friend in
the future as | have been in the past
and will do the best with the expert
ence that | have had to discharge the
duties of that office in such a manner
as to make the name of Randolph coun-
ty place of DREAD and FEAR to
the criminals of the country.
1t seems to me that the time has
come in this country, that if the Grim
inal laws of our state and nation are
not to be more fearlessly and more
forcibly enforced that the time is near
at hand when we might as well turn
over to the lawless Of the land the
lives of our citizens and the sanctity
of our homes.
The opposition TO my election is now
and will until the last vote is polled,
use every means in their power, fair
or unfair, to defeat me and my friends
in this election, and l am now taking
this method of asking my friends in
every township in the county who want
TO see me elected and who appreciate
the kind of an officer l make, not to
permit the enemy to deceive you by
false reports or campaign deceit. And
furthermore that you, and each of you,
stand as firm to me as / have to you
in the discharge of my duty as one Of
your servants.
In the presentation of the present
condition Of the affairs of the Sheriff's
office | have been as fair and lenient
with the occupants of the Office as the
TRUTH, MY CONSCIENCE and THE
INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC would
permit and in so doing l hope that |
have not incurred the i'll will of any
fair minded person.
Now, in conclusion, want to assure
my friends throughout the county that
although | have been forced to make
this fight unaided by any of my other
opponents, in the presentation of the
affairs of this office.
/, with my friends, have WON THIS
RACE in spite of the opposition and
ON the morning of Aug6st 18th, 1924,
HUNTER PERRIN" will find that
there are more voters in this county
that he has designated as bootleggers
than he had dreamed Of.
Trusting that the Sun of Fortune
may forever shine over the entire citi-
zenship Of Randolph county, both my
friends as well as my enemies, am,
Yours 10 serve,
w. A. Jackson,
Adv. For Sheriff and Collector.

Tom w. Campbell

Tom W. Campbell, formerly of this
county, is managing Tom Terrals cam
paign. Mr.. Campbell has many friends
in this county, and he will expect TO
get them to vote for Tom Terral. l
hope they will read my speech before
they vote, and while l know that
through friendship for Tom Campbell
a great many win vote for Terral,
hope the independent voters who vote
according to what they think is for
the best interest, win consider my
claims.

The first part of the program con-

John Gagnon, well known in this
city, gave some demonstrations of
his extraordinary strength which de-
lighted all. A speciality dance by
Miss Gertrude Reynolds and Eddie
Bechard and Frisco Dance by Ed

bers. Anna Cummings played a de-
l1ghtful accordian solo and Norman

which was heartily applauded. The
final number was a distinct hit in
deed. 1t was "Aggravating Blues by
Charley Bresette and in the chorus
a counter melody was carried by

Coming at n time when Tammy

after his protege, Governor Alfred +.

mourned by high political leaders as
a party misfortune, If not an actual
calamity.
Fears in some quarters that Gov

seriously handicapped were Offset,
however, by assertions OF Murphy's
team mates that the leader had
schooled his organization so perfectly
and laid his plans so carefully that
his death would have no detrimental
effect.
Tammany's greatest concern to-
night was the choice Of a man big

committee hastily was called to dis
cuss the situation. although It was

OF this trio, and 1t was only after he

OF the names mentioned as q posi-
BILE successor were Governor Smith
