stand for that which is best
for the people socially, morally
and com mercially. Believing that
some of the great issues before
the people are the questions of
using money or whisky for cam
paign purposes to corrupt and in
fluence voters and believing both
to be detrimental socially, morally,
and commercially, and knowing
that it is contrary to law to use
money or anything of value for
the purpose of corruptly influen
cing the voters, I wish to declare
myself clearly On those questions,
I have not used whisky, money
or other tm'ngs of value in this
primary and promise the people
that I will not do so. I promise
further that I will not resort to
any corrupt practices in this cam
paign. If am elected I will stand
firmly againt the repeal of the
county unit law and pledge my
constituents that I will be firmly
opposed to useless appropriations
of the peoples money and that I
will demand an economical con
duct of the fiscal affairs of the
State.
I feel that my chances for the
nomination are good and I wish
to thank one and all for the many
courtesies and kindnesses shown
to me while making my canvess
and to express my heartfelt thanks
to those who honored me with
their supportjand I promise to so
conduct myself both personally
and officially so that none shall
ever have cause to regret having
given me their aid.
Respectfully,

a race of this kind there is always
one man who stands pre-eminent
ly above the rest. In the present
instance, it cannot be disputed
that J. S. Collins is the man of the
hour. Without any fear of suc
cessful contradiction, there is no
hesitancy in saying he has worked
harder and accomplished more for
the Democratic party than the
combined efforts of his opponents.
For thirty-five years in this coun
ty, in sunshine and storm, in ad
versity, and defeat, he has stood
likea bia'wart athlete and mar
shalled the scattered hosts, giving
cheer to the disconsolate, taking
up the Flag of Democracy and
waving it defiantly in the face of i
defeat, urging those who were
disconsolate and sore to renew
the attack and try to win the vic
tory. He is one man who always
smiled in defeat and continued a
campaign of warfare against the '
opposing forces. Had it not been j
for his tireless energy, the Demo-' T
cratic pat ty would not be so thor
oughly intt-enched in the hearts

Madison county to-day. He has
