IAN article entitled "a Las
Appeal' IN which he tells the
people how to vote for candidate:
for the United States Senate anc
Governor. Upon what meal
does this young man feed that he
has grown SO wise and so capable
of advising the true and tried
democrats of this county as tc
their duty on election day? What
has he done that entities him to be
a councillor and leader Of DeSoto
county democracy? He has yet
to cast his first ballot. Though
well endowed of mind, educated
in the best colleges of the land,
he has not yet graduated from the
school of experience. In the
language of ''Private" John
Allen permit me to say young

The article might pass unnoticed
as the excusable ebullitions of a
college student, but for the fact
of severe and, in my judgment, un-
Warrented criticism there in
of the candidates. The,editor has
ably answered the criticism on
Mr. Noel.
"Crltz would make pretty
good country magistrate" is
quoted. The Iamented Gov
ernor Jno. M. Stone differed with
M McNeil's oracle, for at his

district OF Mississippi. with credit
and fidelity. Critz is an able
lawyer, a business man of re,
cognized executive ability, such
as renders him peculiarly fit for
the chief executive office of the
state. His integrity is unques-
toned.

What has he done? A man of

and an orator grand, How has
he employed his talent? His
vocabulary for abuseis inexhaus-
liable. Some of his most in
auential supporters tell me that
they do not believe he will try to
put his views on the negro
question into force if he is elected
governor. His many friends
place him between the Scylla of
lemagogery and the Charybdis
