REASONS WHY HOKE SMITH
SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED
1. Because he is inconsist
ent and not the man for the
place.
2. Because now above all
other times we need a man for
governor \vh > is not a dema¬
gogue.
3. Because just at this par¬
ticular time we need a busi¬
ness man in the gubernatorial
chair.
4. Because no real Demo
crat could slobber over Tom
Watson and the populists as
he has done, and because he
gave a white woman’s posi¬
tion to a negro while he was
secretary of the interior.
5 . Because we want a real
Democrat for governor.
6. Because lie is not only
inconsistent and insincere, but
because his wild talk against
foreign capital would retard
he material development of
our state and destroy the hope
v\e have of continued pros¬
perity.
7 . Because of his hoax doc*
trine on negro disfranchise¬
ment, which if carried into
law, many good white men
That Murray county is a
good county despite the tales
told on her to the contrary is
evidenced from the fact that,
with a few exceptions, we
only have court about six days
in each year.
Dalton will soon have a
tree city mail delivery. This,
with their government build¬
ing in the near future and a
lew large manufacturing con
eerns makes the people of
that city think that it is good
to live in such a thriving place.
We have been having some
sickness throughout the coun¬
ty, mainly, it is thought, from
having so much wet weather
and it stands everybody in
hand to cut down the weeds
md all surplus vegetation and
let the sun dry out the ground
iround your houses as a pre¬
caution against fever.
The roads in Murray are
being worked out now and we
would suggest that as the four
lays are being put in that qjieh
listrict have its part of the
road tax money placed to
ts credit and let the good
.vork go on until it is all used
ip. The county needs good
roads better than it does a
bank account.
We thought we heard the
whistle of a locomotive in the
distance on the t>. & A. rail
road a few days ago, but it
transpired in the course of
events that it was the voice of
the promoter of the said road
making a spiel to the people
about what he was going to
do. If he would do more and
say less we would like it a lot
better.
Hoke made a great speech
in Dalton Saturday, and, as
usual, had a good crowd to
hear him. He is a good speak
er and people like to hear him
from an oratorical standpoint.
He spent several hours shak¬
ing hands with the boys, no
one escaped him if he was
white. He shook hands with
people whom he, under other
circumstances, would have
never noticed, but he is run¬
ning for governor now.
THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1906
would be prevented from vot¬
ing and all the young negre^s
would quit work and hike to
the schools.
8. Because the agitation of
the negro question here is not
only unnecessary, but is caus¬
ing more demoralization and
devilment among the negroes
than anyone just at this time
realizes.
9. Because we want to see
prosperous times continue,
and we do not want the days
of tive-cent cotton to return,
f r demagoguery always in¬
vites calamity.
10. Because he is allowing
Watson, the populist, to use
him as a tool to destroy the
Democratic party in Georgia.
11. Because it is not right
to have a man for governor
who owns an interest in a bar¬
room and tells so many differ¬
ent tales about it.
12 . Because it would be no
credit during prosperous times
for Georgia to place a calami¬
ty howler at the helm of her
affairs as her governor.—

As usual,our friend,Shope,
of the Citizen, got things
mixed. The package had
never started back to Dalton,
but was lying quietly in the
postoffice, where it had been
left, when the express charges
from Dalton to Spring Place
were paid on it. But this is
the way some people always
do When they see some¬
thing they think will further
the end in view they are will¬
ing to go oft half cocked.
A Card frem W. C. Lindsey.
I wish to say to the voters of
Murray county that I regret very
much that my official duties have
been and will be such that it
will be impossible for me t-o get
around and see you again before
the election. You understand
that L have been appointed to fill
out the unexpired term of Mr,
Bramblett, as tax receiver, and
you also understand that I have
applied for the office next term.
But let me stop here long
enough to say that there has
been a false report circulated
Someone has said that I took a
stand and advocated “no fence”
in the last election.
I certainly did not do anything
of the kind. I expressed my
views on tins question before the
day of the election, and on elec¬
tion day I voted accordingly.
If, for me to say that I voted
“for fence” is not enough, you
just refer to my ticket.
I have talked with almost ev¬
eryone in the county, but, in
order that 1 may reacii each and
everyone, 1 adopt this plan of
speaking to you.
My time for completing my
books is limited, and in order
that 1 *» a y % et '»>' work Jotie »»
due time, 1 must labor every day.
I hope you will take this under
consideration, its has been slated
before, I am in needy circum
stances and I may assure, you
that any assistance you may ren
der iu mv favor will be highly
appreciated,
If you see jit to give me this
office next term, l hope to fill it
*» sudl a wa T that you will never
regret your choice.
Yours truly,
W. C. Lindsey.
