The issue before
Houston is the creation of a New
County, and I am seeking your votes
upon this issue.
A native of this county and yield¬
ing to none in my loyalty, 1 am con¬
vinced that the time has come—if
both sections should progress as they
should- that a division should be
made.
Therefore 1 solicit your careful
mid unprejudiced consideration of
my candidacy, and trust that you
will see fit to honor me with your

TO T HE VOTERS OF HOUSTON
COUNTY
1 hereby announce myself a can¬
didate for the Legislature subject
to the democratic primary. I consci¬
entiously believe that thetime has
come for a division of Houston Coun¬
ty. Our people are the same but in¬
terests in some respects are differ¬
ent. The county is divided and there
can be no growth commensurate
with her resources until the ques¬
tion of a new county is settled. “It
is a l’.ouse divided against itself”,
and 1 ask the voters of Houston
County to carefully consider whether
it is not best to divide and let each
section of the county take the lines
of development which are suitable
to their products and commercial
interest.
In asking your support on the is¬
sue of a division of the county I am
aware that it’s natural for the peo¬
ple of the western side of Houston
to want a new. county, and at the
same time it is legitimate for those
of the eastern side to oppose it.
Therefore 1 hope the fight will be
that of gentlemen and friends and
not enemies.
Respectfully,

“There was a doctor In the touring

doctor watched Shute every second of j
the ride to New York, keeping hfs
hypodermic handy. But the lad didn’t

Colonla’s pier. Then they woke him
up a little hy slapping his face, so
they could carry him aboard as If he

But weren’t they Rfrald he might

“They took care of that. After the

morphine to keep him asleep till noon

“All for (he purpose of making a

“The biggest killing the gamblers
have made In years," said Ford,
“.Take Stinger and hls crowd are sup¬
posed to have denned up several hun¬

“But you’ve got him now—Jake

“That’s the trouble—we haven’t,”
admitted Ford. "Not one of the
crooks caught so far will admit
Stinger had anything to do with it.
They’re being paid big money, po
doubt, to protect him."
“Then how do you know that he’s
mixed up In It?”
“We know that tbe fellow calling

Yes—unless we’re right In the way

“British subject, isn't be?”
"Believe he is. Does that compli¬

“Somewhat. Rut we’ll try to man¬

Ford.
“If you don’t mind Fll give you our
position in regard to Jerrold Mansei.”
ii Certainly—go abend,” said the am¬
bassador.
“We have no desire to prosecute
Mnnsel—provided we can get front
him proof which will convict the ‘man

“Anyhow, that man Mansei saved
many lives—protected women and
children—when the Regent was sink¬
ing. That deed shouldn’t be forgot¬
ten—and we ain't going to forget It.
We look upon Mansei as the victim of
other men’s' greed. First, a greedy
theatrical manager tempted him to
commercialize Ids heroism—then cast
him adrift when lie was no longer a
box-oflice attraction, Mnnsel was
broke, got to drinking, and had no job.
He was just ripe for Jake Stinger to

The ambassador nodded vigorously.
