To the Democratic Voters Of MiSSiSippi.

| desire to make my grateful
acknowledgment to you for the
emphatic endorsement which you
gave me at the primary. l never

moment during the canvass, be-
cause [ respected You and implicit

because it will greatly strengL en-
me in the Senate, in the discus

question which is the gravest and
most far reaching that confronts
the American people; a national
question upon the determination
of which depends the permanence
of free institutions in this nation.

discussing it, with an e~arnestness

The First Battle.

The primary which has been
eagerly awaited by the great num-
Der of expectant candidates is Low
a thing of the past and only the
few have been victorious. To
many, disappointment has come in
being shut out entirely, and to
others the second primary is more
fraught with good or bad results
than the first.
While the writer is able to stand
with the more ~fotunate, we do not
entertain any spirit of pride or de-
sire to exult over those whom we
defeated. TO the people of the
county we desire to say that we are
deeply grateful for the confidence
reposed in us and shall always re-
member the vote we received and
esteem it an honor to be proud of
If a faithful discharge of the
duties of the position to which we
have been a third time nominated
shall be an expression off u ap-
probation it will be our constant
endeavor to so conduct the bust
ness of the public that every mans
interest is subserved.
The race for the final victory IS
now actively on and the candidates
for these positions are busily at
work. We feel sure that no bit
terness will enter into this contest
as none was permitted to enter the
canvass before the first primary.
All the candidates are men of high
integrity and no matter to whom
the race goes the people will find
in each an officer who will prove
loyal to his duties as a public serv-
ant and will discharge the duties
incumbent upon him in a faithful,
efficient and conscientious manner.
