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.
