Editor of The Advertiser: I ask for a bit of space in your valu able paper to ask a few questions per taining to the present political situa tion. 'The first question I would -isk is, "Why do the anti-lllcaseites say that they deprecate any drawing of politi cal lines yet call to the attention of us Bleaseites the fact that the state con vention is going to be dominated, ruled and run by Gov. Illease's enemies? If they are not making this political fight against the "commnion people" with Gov. Blease as the representative of the masses what would you call it? . An amusing incident took place Saturday at one of the club meetings. A voter walkedi uti to the place of meeting and was immediately called off to one side by one of Gov. lHlease's enemies and told he must express himself that the anti-Illease leaders had received orders to carry the meetings against the present adnils Iration by electing all tile oflicers of the clubs and electing all delegates to the county convention who were known to be against the governor (tooth and toe nail). After the voter listened to the anti- Illeaseite for awhile he politely told him that he was talking to the wrong man for he was a Illeaseite. The meetilg pro grossed and this same Illense voter was elected a delegate to th.h county (convention, and there hangs a tale. Since the illeaseite was elected a dele gate the anti-Illeaseite friend, who was so interested in carrying the club "against" the administration ac cording to "orders" has since given notice that this particular Illease del egate does not reside in the township from which he was elected and wants to make a protest against seating him. Now, the question is, if the Bleaseite delegate had been elected as an anti Illeaseite. would his seat be question ed i the same anti-Illeaseite? II. M. Wright. April ?9, lilt1.
