To the Democratic Voters of
Woodruff County:
As Chairman of your Central Committee I feel it my
duty to call your attention to the fact that there is some op
position to the regular Democratic ticket.
Former Senator M. H. Patterson is running as an
independent Candidate for the office of County and Pro
bate Judge.
In our Primary Election last March he was a candi
date and with all other candidates he filed the following
Pledge signed by himself, the original of which is on file
with me as Chairman of your Central Committee:
PLEDGE
“As a candidate for the Democratic Nomination
for the office of County Judge in the Primary Election
to be held on the last Wednesday in March, I hereby
pledge myself to abide the result of the Primary Elec
tion and to support the Nominees thereof and declare
that I am not and will not become the candidate of any
faction, independent or otherwise, either privately or
publicly suggested, other than the regular Democratic
Nominee. Signed: M. H. PATTERSON.
This 25th day of March, 1916.
As is well known Judge Hutchins received the
Nomination defeating his opponent by over 250 votes.
The character of our Democracy is too well known for it to
be necessary that I urge you to do your duty by the party
and help roll up a large majority for every nominee of the
party. D. H. ECHOLS, Chairman.
Woodruff County Democratic Central Committee.
PATTERSON'S PRE-ELEC
TION PLEA “PUPPY - ROT"
(Continued from front page)
and if the supply of ballots had
hot exhausted, we don’t know
what the total would have been.
As to us being foolish and not
having as much sense as any
negro within ten miles of Mc
Crory, we are glad to state that
in 1914 when we were a candi
date for the senate, and Mr.
Patterson voted for us, we then
had enough “gumption” to take
our defeat like a gentleman, ac
cepting the wishes of the people,
and to not get out and call those
who supported our honorable op
ponent, cattle, thieves, etc. We
possessed brains at that time as
we supported Mr. Patterson for
sheriff, sorry to say, but since
that time we failed to support
him and he has applied to us the
same Patterson Standard mea
sure by which he tests all who
fail to vote for him which is as
follows: If you vote for him and
agree with him on public ques
j tions, you are a gentleman and a
fine fellow, but let you exercise
j your own rights and vote in the
opposite way, you are at once
j branded with his bunch of cattle,
etc.
We would like to devote more
; space to this “Terrible Teddy”
j but since his infamous circular
has just reached our hands on
; the eve of going to press, we are
compelled to bring this matter
! to a close. In conclusion, we
| will say that we are not at all
surprised at him having his “bun
kum” printed in circular form as
he has made more than one ef
fort recently to speak to the
voters and they refused to go
hear him. At Hunter only four
people responded to his circulars
advertising that he would speak
i there and although he used a
| quarter page advertisement in
; the Cotton Plant paper, less
than that number went out to
hear him there.
His case is now in the hands of
the jury, which is the people,
and they will render a verdict
next Tuesday with an avalanche
of votes that will forever and
eternally place him peacefully
at rest in the beautiful realms
of that wonderful Salt River
country to which place he
has for three times de
cidedly been sent in the past
few years.
