Description"Amos Horn is Fighting for the People" accuses by name four Montgomery citizens with political corruption and theft of county funds. Black text on yellowed paper. So many Montgomery County elections were uncontested that Montgomery county political material is extremely rare; but this election for county clerk was bitterly fought and every one of these broadsides the opposition could find was destroyed. The broadside is accusatory (and true) charging by name four Montgomery citizens with political corruption and theft of county funds, documenting the charges by the dispersion of numbered country warrants, etc.
