THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Thirteenth Year - Number 14
Marlin, Texas, Thursday, June 5, 1902
-----
DAVIS' SPEAKING.

       In view of the near approach of the Democratic Primary election and the further fact that we seem to lose sight of state and county interests, all being swallowed up in the race for congress.  Does, or should not our state and county laws and officials concern us more than others?
       In order to have the opportunity to go before the people and present my claims, and that my opponent may have the same chance, I make the following list of appointments, to all which I most respertfully (sic) invite my opponent or their representatives:

       Perry, May 30th, at night.
       McClanahan, June 2d, at night.
       Reagan, June 4th, at night.
       Powers Chapel, June 6th.
       Barclay, May 25th, at night.
       Bellsfalls, May 27th, at night.
       Eddy, May 29th, at night.
       Otto, May 31st, 4 p.m.
       Stranger, June 3d, at night.
       Cedar Springs, June 5th, at night.
       Eureka, June 7th, at night.
       Other appointments will be made at the various points.
                                                                   J. J. Davis.
