ATOR MONEY.
Batesville, Miss, July IS, 1908.

BateSVllle, MISS. July 10, 1Joo.
James S. Mccarthy, private secre-
tary to United States Senator A. j..
McIlaurin. and member of the state
democratic executive committee from
the second congressional district, in an
interview at Batesville, his home, de-
clared himself unqualitiedly as fav-
oring the reelection of Hon. II. d..
Money to the United States senate.
In this interview Mr.. Mccarthy said +:
Speaking for myself alone, have
no hesitancy III stating that ] favor
the reelection of Hon. II. d. Money
to the United States senate. ] shall
cast my ballot for him on the 9th day
of August. Senator Money is one of
the foremost men in the democratic
party and one of heTablest statesmen
in the American congress. During
his career as representative in con-
gIess and member of the senate he has
been faithful to every trust, loyal to
the people of Mississippi, and to the
great principles of the democratic
party. His fidelity to his people and
party cannot be successfully chal-
lenged by any man. I have gobserved
during my residence in Washington
that Senator Money has always taken
great pleasure in doing all in his pow
er for Mississippi and Mississippians.
He was O brave confederate soldier
during the dark days that tried mems
souls and it has always been delight
to him to assist his old comrades i'll
any way that he could.
Senator Money is trained states
man, a true and honorable gentleman
of the true southern type, and one of
the best posted men in public life.
His defeat would be calamity to the
people Of the great state of Mississippi.
[ have no personal feeling against
Gov. Longino. In his race for COVER
nor four years ago | gave him my 10y
al support. As loyal democrat and
the grandson of private in the con-
federate army, cannot support man
who would refer to confederate senti-
ment as confederate rot" | cannot
support man for the high Office of
senator in the congress of the United
States from a southern state, who, as
governor of a southern state, would
recommend to the legislature the pas
sage Of law giving to the family of
Iynched negro the right to recover
damages against the county wherein
the lynching occurred. am as much
opposed to mob law as any man, but
I arn not in favor of making the peo-
pie pay for the carcass of a black
fend who outraged a white woman.
Governor Longino's stand on this
question, and his going to Washington
on the 4th of March, 1901, to partici-
pate in a republican inaugural cere-
mony and parade, in which several
negro republican clubs and several
companies of negro soldiers partici-
pated, has done more to bring odium
on the fair name of Mississippi than
anything that has occurred since the
Infamous regime of Adelbert. Ames.
I cannot support man for office in
Mississippi, or elsewhere, who has
the friendly ear of are publican presi-
ent-Roosevelt- has demon
strated his love for negro equality by
inviting negroes to dine with his
family and attend receptions at the
white house. | am an uncompromis-
ing southern democrat and my choice
for United States senator for the term
beginning March 4, 1905, is fernando
