To re-elect Davis mea t? the er>
treRfeiag of a machine that wild
place hint in tho senate two
years hence and retire that grand
old soldier and statesman. James
H. Berry.
-|f * —
If Carroll D. Wood is the can*
didate of the railroads, why don’t
the Davis men give the number
of his pass, as has been publish 1
relative to Governor Davis riding
on the Cotton Belt? Nor has he
' ever denied it?
• ^ ^ -
You voters who have heard the
'governor’s side of the little
i maimed boy’s suit against the
railroad company as given upon
cartoon and by his spokesman,
John Keel, are asked to investi
! gate this ease, as it shows the
i methods that are being used to
i misrepresent Judge Wood, who
i dissented from the opinion of
the court in that case. Read the
: affidavit of the child’s grand
father. who instituted the suit,
• as published in the Independent.
The charge has been made by
1 Mr. Keel upon nearly every
stump in Jackson county that
Judge Wood turned loose a negro
: convicted of the assault of a
v. hits woman. Thi3 same woman
. iat.er went unnn the stand and
. sworn that the negro was inno
scent. The supreme court, of
which Judge Wdod was a raem
: bor. sent the case back for re
trial and'the negro was turned
1 ioose. Did Mr. Keel tell all of
the facts in the case? We leave
it. for the Democrat of Jackson
county to determine upon March
: 26th.
Governor Davis is reported b>
good authority to have read a
telegram during his speech at
Batesville in regard to the shoot
i mg' at Alicia Saturday and to
l have remarked that this was the
i method of his opponents to flown
i him. Oh the authority of a
Davis appointee and dose friend
and adherent, the shooting had
nothing to do with the political
e tmpaign, and even if t e men
had been provoked by such an
tagonism, what do you think of
a candidate for t e high ixfiiee of
governor using such a' pretext to;
i incite hate and engender strife?
It shows, as a hundred other in
cidents have, the nature of this
coiiossus.
Would a big-hearted; noble
m.m, as Gov. Da vs professes to
ibe, in apologising for all his mis
takes. blacken the character of
an innocent count 1*3' girt because

course. She has instituted suit
against the Davis paper which
sought to impeach her testimony
in defense of that most dear to
woman, virtue. Why cteesr t. the

''siandearers?** If his cause is just
: cannot he depend upon the courts
and juries of his ov.n state in

- WHY WORD “ WHITE ”
WAS STRICT E $ OUT.
To those cognizant of the
smoothness of the tall “slippery
elm from Ingieside.,” as he has
■been dubbed during the cam
I paign, it has been a source of
wonder how he ever made such a
ire; c •, > knock o :t
“white” from the
: qualifications of voters * in the
coming Democratic primary.
As its effect spread over the
entire state, the wonder grew.
! Mr. Keel in his speech at Elgin
Thursday, March Kith, opened
1 up his heart and told his hearers
the reason therefor. The elimi
nation of the word "white” was
fCr the purposes of admitting
•lews, Italians, Chinese and other
: nationalities to parti rm&ti n in
: the primary. This is his excuse.
tut when did such a coarse be
come necessary? When have
the Hebrews be o regarded as
nth ?r than ' bvhh e. ’ ’ 'They rank
among our best citizenship and
: have never been refused the right
'<* vote when the word ‘‘white”
wa.- a necessary qualification.
in that same address, at:Elgin,
Mr. Keel i -. his closing remarks
made open avowal of the pur
pose of this move, when he said
it was tetter to alk-wthe negroes
i to entefr the primary and help
nominate a ticket than to bar
them and have the nominees dt>?
feated by their race in the gen
eral election.
But the danger of this Ls top
remote to be feared ana need not
be discussed. In aettemtwmg *o
. quell the righteousIndignation i »f
the Democraev of Jackson cnun
Ty. the Davis men have mare
s matters worse by their excaseii
‘The intention was to admit a
.large parobasabie negro vote to
the primary, and it 'is deary
proven by the dumbness of these
: other pretenses.
