along all the way from Sulphur

CARD FROM MR. OUTLAW.
Two reports are in circulation
intended to injure me in the race
tax receiver, which I emphatically
deny. First, it is stated that I
am unable to write and cannot at
tend to the office; second, that I
am running in the interest of an
other candidate. These reports I
are false. I can do ail the work of
the office, which I am seeking for
the help it will give me.
