COMPLEMENTARY NOTICE or Sen
". Y. SULLIVAN.

Editor Sentinel::-lt is very seldom |
ever write anything to the newspapers,
but | think a great Injustice has been
done Senator VIM. V. Sullivan by a
great many people who are hot acquaint-
ed with him. have known him per-
sonally for years, and there is no man
in the State CT Mississippi that stands
any higher in my estimation. Mr..
Sullivan has been in the Senate, |
think, barely four months. In that
time he has demOrst rated what a man
of vim, pluck and energy can do. We
have been represented by noble and
glorious men, but none Of them have
been as hard working members, trying
to do all they could for the benefit of
our State and people. This is the
kind OF a senator we want. A great
many small matters that are necessary
in the transaction of business. that
require Congressional aid, need a man
in the Senate that will attend to it
when asked. We have such charac>
ter in Senator w. V. Sullivan, The
city Of Memphis only recently wrote to
him about the fest mail service. which
is Of benefit to every individual in the
South. We were about to lose this
fast mail services. Immediately Sena-
tor Sullivan called on the Postmaster
General, and we think the matter has
been settled. The citizens of Pickeus
needed d Postmaster. The Postoftice
Department felt greatly aggrieved at
the citizens of Pickens. Some OF our
Congressman were working upon the
matter: our Honorable Senator took
it in hand; Immediately the Pickens
ma tier was settled. Several of the
citizens wrote the Hon. W. Y. Sullivan
letters in reference to 'Postmastcrs
keeping internal revenue stamps Tor
sale. Immediately bill was intro
duced, and we are Informed that it
will Only be II short while before this
matter is settled.
There are numbers OF small matters
that could mention in which Senator
Sullivan has showed his business abli-
tv in pushing matters through that
ARE OF vital Importance to our people.
The best re solution introduced in The
Senate in the settlement of the Philli.
| pine question was the resolution OF
Senator W. Y. Sullivan. Nearly every
leading daily in New York commented
favorably upon this resolution.
The reason Senator Sullivan is dis
liked by some people is because he ha:
been creditors lawyer for the pas
twenty years. He has represente:
numbers of the largest mercantile
firms in this country, and quite fre-
quently when a man was trying t
shirk his debts or make Il dishoneS
deal, he was compelled to attach him
and of course having this side of tht
litigation, he has made a great many
enemies, who cherish a feeling of re
sentiment against him. 1t is to Il man !
credit if he stamps out dishonesty O
any kind. It. is to his credit if ht
ferrets out the rascals and turns day.
light in upon their questionable acts
There is scarcely a town in the Stat,
of Mississippi that Senator Sullivan
hasn't had this kind OF occupation
Naturally Y he has made some enemies
All We ask is. give him a fair trial
and you will find out that Mississippi
has Senator in which her rights vii
be protected at any and all times.
Yours truly.
