In forecastIng the nominations of the Dem
ocratic State Convention we desire TO suggest
the name of ROBERT G. PATTY, of Noxubee
county, for Auditor of Public Accounts.
In all the material requisites for the posi-
ton, he has no superior anywhere, coming up
squarely IN every particular, to the Jefferson
ian test for office.
1t is a well known fact that R. c. Patty
made a gallant Confederate soldier, during
the late war, and proved his devotion to the
South, by arduous and and heroic service
pending the four years Of desperate conflict
Since the he has been prominently III
every struggle which had for its object the
overthrow of Radicalism in Mississippi,
which happy consummation was accomplished
in November, 1915, by the united and active
cooperation of all true sons of our State, in
which contest he signaliZed his devotion to
the principles of the Democratic party by the
most earnest and patriotic zeal and contribu-
ted largely to the great victory won in tina:
memorable year, particularly in the large
negro county of Noxubee. Politically, II. {.
Patty is thorough orthodox Democrat, sound
to the core, but II is the peculiar fitness of the
man for the place, that induces The Signal
thus to espouse his cause for this position
Winston county, the home of his childhood,
where he was born and reared to manhood,
will give him solid support for Auditor. Ii
is good rule to adopt the old maxim, ''let the
office seek the man, and not the man the Of
fee, particularly when there is so much clap
trap used about men. In speaking of the quail
fcations of our candidate, 4. &. Patty, we put
ourselves on record by saying, if he has an
equal in point of competency or merit gener-
ally, anywhere throughout the State, for the
position of Auditor, that man, in our view,
has not yet been brought to the notice of
the people. q handsome majority in the Con-
vention for r. e. Patty, VIII. in our Judgment,
tend greatly to the success Of the entire Dem
ocratic ticket, against the strongest ticket
that could be array ed against Us, while ii viii
insure the election of sound Democrat,
an honest man and capable and efficient Au-
ditor of Public Accounts.

For Auditor.

EDITORS CLARION / request that you
publish the subjoined article from the VIZ
ston hader recommending ROBERT c. PAT
TY, of Noxubee county, for the nomination
of the Democratic party, as candidate foI
Auditor. Mr.. Patty is a man of great
moral worth, is strictly temperate, and pos
sesses abilities of a high order. He is one
of the most accomplished, accurate and
competent business men in the State-is an
active, progressive, young man who would
fill the office with credit
Our ticket must be a strong one--tbe
candidates good men and true Let it not
be forgotten that the section of the State in
which Mr.. Patty lives is entitled to repre-
sentation, and that he, if nominated, would
prove tower of strength in the coming
contest. PEARL RIVER.
