SUPPORTERS OF JUDGE CROVAI T
COME OUT SOUAREL V AND SAY
WHY THEY FAVOR HIM FOR
THE SI ACE SENATE.
NO TRUTH IN THE REPOR'i THAT
CROVATT S ELECTION MEANS A
RESTORATION OF OLD RING
RULE IN DRUNSWICK.
Following up the h.|,erview of
Judge Cruvatt, which The News pub
lished in its issue of the tith.. a re
porter called upon several good gov
ernment supporters yortcrday, who
have been prominent, in all of the re
td,ms and improvements occurring
in city and county matters within the
past lew years and who arc support
ers of Judge Grovatt in |ine present
campaign.
To each of them the following ques
tion was submit ted:
What tejideney, in your opinion,
will ttie nomination of Judge <To
vagl mavc towards checking the re
forms with which the. (food Govern
ment club and yourselves have been
connected and which you have advo
cated in the city and county mailers
within reeenit yours, and ospec tally
what, possibility is there of his nonii
natou having any tendency to check
this movement, or assist in a return
of |the city and county government
to the former objectionable methods
commonly called “ring rule.’
To this question County Commis
sioner W. it. Townsend said:
"My position in local politics can
cot bo well misunderstood. 1 s|tain!
for all that the* Uodd Government club
represents and 1 am supporting Judge
Crovatt for several reasons. In the
tilt'd place he is an honest, able and
tearless democrat, is loyal to his con
victions and would not lend hi aid
to any faction, be it “ring” or other
wise, unless there was real merit in
the cause.
“Again i am wilth Judg • Crovatt on
his pronounced views in favor of local
option and against the city court of
lirunswick tinder the law upon which
it is now being conducted. This taik
of restoration of ring line is pedicu
lous and (those who know me should
also know I would not tolerate such
a thing.”
County Attorney A. B. Franklin
said:
“i am supporting Judge Crovatt
because i am for good government
methods, progress and prosperity, and
so is he, and i am certain that he rep
resents no faction, but wishes to act.
for ( tne people and will uo nothing to
reverse! their veruict previously ren
dered, nor take one step backward
or contribute either to the placing
power of any ring or fa< tion or Jhc
return of what is commonly called
(ring rule.'”
Air. K. R. Hopkins' reply was:
“No man has been a more deter
mine.} and outspoken supporter of the
principles of the Good Government
club than i. lhave done all within my
power for itheir success and my posit
ion as to any other administrattion ol
affairs is thoroughly well known. 1
am a supporter of Judge Crovart be
cause I believe him to lie a clean,
pure, active, energetic and heartily
in favor of all those principles and o!
continuing and,' increasing the re
forms ami the improvements already
begun and being carried .cut by tne
present administration in b >ih cit>
and county and feel that no can be
depended main to continue along those
lines without the slightest fear of
any return by any act of his of ob
jectionable parties or “ling rule” in
either state or county."
Mr. C. P. Goodyear, Jr., said:
“I have advocated and do still the
principles of |the Good Government
club. I am supporting Judge Crovatt
because his past public record proves
him to be a strong advocate of im
provement and progress and I believe
that he Is and will continue to be so

Men and women, panic-stricken at
the cataclysm, turned in the moment of
their despair to the cathedral and were
apparently overcome before they conpj

From the positions of the bodies the
opinion is formed that many were over

Not a soul was found alive in the

Militury rule is established in tlie
town to prevent vandals from working.
Such property as lias not been destroyed

The provisions at Fort de France are
