The Marlin Democrat
Fifteenth Year   Number 19
Marlin, Texas, Thursday, July 7, 1904

THE LAST ROUND.

     EDITOR MARLIN DEMOCRAT:-
Please publish this for a friend. We have flattering prospects for cotton and corn is made.  Potatoes bid fair for a good yield.  Now if our party will select the good kernels from the chaff and stick together we are sure to succeed, and how are we to do this?
     I would say take such men as we know, those that lay bare before you their motto, like A. M. Kennedy.  He has been weighed and comes up to the standard.  Now give us Mr. Kennedy and O'Bryan for floaters and let us keep all of the men that we know to be all right.  Let Mr. Adams of the creek of Brush or Mr. Anderson of Dot say what they please.  It is nothing but right.  That democratic freedom of speech and of the press was Jefferson's motto and it is mine.
     Let every man vote as he thinks best but be sure you pick out the good ones for we all must abide by the results.  Now let, us all come together and don't let the republicans sing "Hark from the tomb" in November.
     Yours for a full house.

M. F. MEEKS.
Stranger, Texas.
