part of his address:
10 tho Dcmocracy Of .Atolo CO.:
Remember that Wednesday July
2rd is the day fixed for your prl-
mary election and under the reso-
utions or rules adopted by your
Executive Committee none but
known Democrats, citizens and
residents of Attala county who are
twenty-one years old or who will
become SO before the election next
November will be allowed to vote
in said primary election; all others
must be denied vote therein. Ot I
course every one who votes IN the |
primary election thereby pledges
himself and is in honor bound to
support the nominees of SAID cleo
ton and vote for them in the gen
eral election from Constable up.
While | do not believe that any
but known Democrats who will
support and vote for the nominees
will offer to vote in the primary;
in order that the action Of the
managers and officers conducting
said primary may be uniform
throughout the county, they are
are eastlv requested and enioihcd
to carry outthe rule laid down oy
the committee, and let none hot
known Democrats vote. bocaoSe
a man will pledge himself to sup
port a part of the ticket or even
the whole of it next November
-. does not entitle him to vote in oul
primary. What we wish IS
) straight Democratic nomination
SO that there can be no cause To-
complaat on the part OF any de
, feated candidate or his friends

y stand sathe gates ajar" and earn
