A Frank But Courteous Reply

l had hoped that Chas. P.
Mullins and myself could make
the race for Treasurer in this
county without singing,
each one to make the race on
his own merits. have the great
est respect for his family and
parents, especially his Christian
mother. l hope they will not
think hard Of me for calling his
hand on the statements he made
in the Dickensonian. Sept. II.
l943, where he stated: can eff
fort on the part of the County
Treasurer and his candidates to
d1sfranchise more than 500 of
their fellow citizens" AS I am
his opponent and, SO far as I am
concerned, this statement is
false. | never caused the party
who is responsible for the certi-
fled list to leave off any persons
name or any names that may not
appear on the certified list.
The Unserved Summons
Some gossipers seem to want
to know where I was on the first
four days Of the poll tax trial
9th and 9th. I was in and around
Breaks and Haysi On the 10th 7

letter to be placed in pamphle+
for this campaign. On the 18th !
hauled two loads Of coal to keen
my wife and children warm. To

about getting the Herald Press
to print my pamphlet The 18th

Branch and Freezing Mullins had
a homecoming dinner for his
children and I ate dinner with
them.
"Unscrupulous Office Seekers
He further states, E'That never
before in Dickinson County has
such a situation been brought
about by INSCRIPTIONS office
seekers" In other words, no
scruples regardless of principle.
l cannot speak for the other
candidates. | can only speak for
myself, and if my good opponent
friend means to apply this in my
case CHS name is signed to the
statemen) then I am happy to
reply without hesitation. This
statement is positively false. and

Whereas, the time limit in
which to pay poll taxes in order
to vote at the next election for
county offices is less than six
months and the burden OF the
candidates to be voted for at said

greatly lessened by seeing the
voters at the treasurer's sittings
in the months Of November and
December of this year for the
purpose and we the undersigned
members of the Republican coun
ty Committee recommending and
requesting that the Republicans
who expect to be. candidates at
said election take immediate &C
ton to this course in seeing the
voters to pay same and it appear
ing that J. G. Smith is the only
Republican candidate spoken Of
who will accept the nomination
for the office of Commonwealth
Attorney in said election, we,
therefore, name and select him as
the Republican candidate to be
voted for at the November cleo
ton, 1913, and request him to &C

with any other candidates for the
other county offices in securing
