LETTER FROM LOTT
-----
Lott, Tex., May 15, 1902.
Marlin Democrat.
Well, Mr. Editor, we are all feeling good
over here about now, just had another fine rain and crops, oh! you
just ought to see them they are shore fine as Aunt Lucindy would
say, and weeds and grass too.
Politics seems to be all the talk these
days and if everybody was not so busy at work there would be hot
time between now and June 14. The congressional race is all
the talk now. County affairs are hardly ever mentioned.
One of the aspirants for congress made us a talk Tuesday night, Mr.
Thomas. There was not a great many out to her him. He
made a very nice talk, but I think from all indications that he
struck one of Mr. Henry's strong holds, as Mr. Henry has quite a lot
of influential friends here.
Say, Mr. Editor, is there no end to the
Waters Pierce wrangle. It has been discussed until it has been worn
thread bare, and still it is kept up.
It was thoroughly gone over in the state convention two years ago by
both sides, and papers printed everything, and as Texas people are a
reading people, they are all posted in the matters pertaining to the
whole Waters-Pierce affair. It is really disgusting to go hear
a candidate make a speech, and the first you know they are talking
about the Waters-Pierce suit to people that area as well posted on
the suit as they are. Now, Mr. Candidate, give us something else
when you come or we won't appreciate your talk.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you and your crew catch
up with your work, come over and help us out of the weeds and we
will treat you right, if you ever happen to run for congress.
Well, hoping my friends will all be
elected, I am always a democrat.
M. W. Harwell.
