. “In all of his outrageous at
tacks, Mr. Hodges does not, and
cannot, assail my moral charac
ter, my honesty, my Democracy
or my ability to make you a clean
and efficient governor. I have
confident in your judgement”
These are the words with
which Dr. C. H. Brough dismiss
es one of his opponents in the
race for governor. They answer
all of the unwarranted and bitter
attacks which have been made
by professional politicians on
Dr. Brough in order to draw the
attention of the public away
from issues in this campaign.
The people know that Dr.
Brough is a gentleman, that he
is honest and that he will make
them a clean official. This is
sufficient for them and is suffi
cient reason for their electing
him govern >r in the primary
which is to be held March 29.
Nothing could have been done
by Earle W. Hodges to stir up
resentment more than the circu
lar in which Dr. Brough’s ances
try is ridiculed, and later the one
charging him with being an ad
vocate of race equality. Like
Zeppelin bombs dropped in Eng
land, the charges, unprincipled
as well as false, have aroused
the people who would other-wise
been almost neutral, and have
gone to work for Dr. Brough.
Dr. Brough’s courteous reply
has destroyed what little confi
dence the people had in the
Hodges campaign methods, and
in those employed by his cam
paign methods, and in those em
ployed by his campaign mana
gers. Dr. Brough will win the
nomination with thousands of
votes to spare.
The tide in the gubernatorial
contest turned some weeks ago,
and from now until the primary
the Brough majority will grow.
The Hodges managers know
they have no show, but are mov
ing heaven and earth to find
something that will turn the tide j
again. It will be a miracle, or ^
the death of the other two candi- j
dates, that can put Earle W.
Hodges in the chair of Governor* .
That has been definately decided
upon by the people, and Earle
W. Hodges knows it as well
as they do.
Concerning Judge Smith
It is a fact that a few years
past Judge L. C. Smith bolted
the Democratic ticket and voted
for a Republican. He not only
voted but even worked and used
all of his influence against a
staunch Democrat and turned it
to a Republican, who was an op
ponent of what was once his par
ty.
Any man has the right whether
a Democrat or Republican, to
vote for any man that he desires. I
On the other hand, whether i
Democrat or Republican, no man i
need not expect his party to sup- |
port him after he has bolted his !
party. This is a political princi
ple which holds true in any party
and L. C. Smith will not escape j
the political punishment due him. j
Smith does not deny that he bolt- i
ed the party and voted the Rep- i
publican ticket. A true Democrat j
cannot support a party bolter. — j

Salt River,_Thursday, Mar. 30.
Willing to take credit for any
thing that will give him any
favorable comment, Earle W.
Hodges, while he lambasts Dr.
C. H. Brough because his father
is a native of a northern state,
does not correct the impression
that has gone out that his parents
were southerners. He is willing
to take the votes of those who
rever the stars and the bars, un
der false pretenses. He is not
the son of a Confederate veteran
and his mother was born in Indi
ana. He is not possessed with a
sufficient sense of fairness to set
the people right in this matter.
The Confederate veterans have
been looking into this phase of
the case and they will register
their verdict at the polls March
29. ’
Brough clubs are being organ
ized in all sections of the state,
and the leading men of these
communities are at the head of
them all. If Dr. Brough was
the monster his opponents would
make of him, these men would
hardly rally to his support. This
is a race of the politican against
the people, and this is the time
when the machine's back will
break.
