Some I am personally acquaint-
ed with. It is charged in these
letters that you have no fixed
political faith, that you acted
in such a way as to be expelled
or required to quit a democrat
ic club. And on a certain occa-
sion at a convention was a mo-
tion made by a party to purge
the convention of tailors before
proceeding to business, and did
you walk out or not?
Mr. Isaacs says he don’t know
what kind of an animal Mr.
Boaty is. I am rather modest,
but will give you a short dis-
cription of t he brute. I was a
gardener at Luling Caldwell
county, when the people made
me County Commissioner, at
the end of the term I quit, and
was elected Tax Assessor, was
re-elected tu second term, and
re elected third term. I quit
the office. I was elected to 20th
and 27th legislature. In the
27th 1 did something no other
ran ever did trom any* district,
so those said who have been
there several times. I present
ed five bills, all of them passed
the committee and was returned
to the House with the recom-
mendation that they do pass,
and not a minority report on
any one of them T managed
to get three of them before the
House for final reading passage.
Each of them passed the House
one passed the Senate. The
other two would have passed
the Senate but my Senator could
not get them before the Senate
because his time was occupied
fighting the eight hour bill un-
til close of session.
My two bills would have rais-
ed considerable revenue for the
State, and would have been
quite a benefit but were lost on
account of a foolish platform
demand. The speaker served
in the 26th legislature with me
and served on several commit-
tees with me and certainly knew
me. I was placed on more com-
m’tiees i i 27i.» loan any man
<n the Ho* sc, and now on legis-
lative committee to redistrict
tne state. Pretty fair record
ior an ani-i.al. How aboutyour
record, I would not refer to a
man as an animal (leuks) like a
man bad no good ’ reeding, or
raising. I attended a fair sev-
eral years ago, while there, my
attention was cal'ed to a pair of
Tou Louse geese o > a nice
sward. They wad.-lled around
with a t air of importance. In
fact they* seemed to think they
were the most important factor
of the fair. At first sight I was
favorably* impressed with t;,em
but s« on noticed that they had
a peculiar habit ot picking at
everything before them without
knowi ng, or caring what it was
and (spoiling) everyth) »gbehind
them. There.ore from Mr.
Isaacs action in jumping on me.
