Young walked with a feeble and halt

more like a man than on any OF his
former appearances. His hair was parted
and his linen was clean. His eyes had
lost their look OF vacant terror and he
sat straight in his chair looking at the
court.
After whispered conversation between
judge and counsel Young was removed
from court. his counsel following him.

MIonT PETTER IGNORED Ut.

The picturesque, if 10 able Governor
Of Mississippi seems also to have lost his
head, or rather what little balance he
may have been able to boast as its con
tents.
In his desperation when confronted
last week by the publication Of his
negrOs record, black enough sure, when
punched together. In this paper, the
Governor occupied a large portion of
the time he stood before al audience at
Meridian, on Monday night of last
week, vaiuly trying to explain the
frightful data staring him in the face.
The most unfortunate thing for the
Governor is the fact that he made the
record himself, net us. We simply
acted as a compiler of facts, and they
we're such facts as looked pretty dark
and shady for a man seeking the suf-
frage Of the intelligent white people o.
Mississippi, as q candidate for the
United States senate.
The Governor announced when he
first became a candidate for the senate,
with all the, prestige Of the machinery
Of the state in his hands, that it was
not so much his desire to go 10 the
senate as to be afforded the op%portuni
ty Of going before the people to defend
his administration since Governor.
In this connection, we might suggest
that the article of which he complained
in his speech was not compiled so much
in the view of defeating the gentlemen
in his aspirations for the senate, as to
afford him the opportunity for which
he seemed to be pining, Of defending
his administer alton during his occupan-
cy Of the Executive Mansion at Jack
son, the last four years.
This paper is not interested in the
personnel Of any state or national posi-
ton to be filed this fall. 1t is simply
DESTROYS Of being accommodating to the
Governor because be has been so anx.
ious 10 defend his administration. w
supposed he was in earnest, and take !
still that be was, yet the declaration
| that he would make the race for thu
senate in order to have the opportunity
Of defending his administration sug-
gested on the face Of it that the admin
istration referred to was in sad need 0
a defeese.
But, to use 3 vulgar phrase, probs
bly, not just the thing in this campaign
. lit looks very much as thoughthe Cover

Men who will Doodle in the hope OF
securing Office will not stoOp to do
any dishonorsble trick to win. The
voters may therefore be prepared to
expect any sort OF sensational lies
circulated on the eve of the primary
In the hope of turning as many as
possible from their fixed purposes.
No man is wise who will permit him
self influenced by any story that
comes to him of q detrimental char
acter to the men he is supporting, just
on the eve Of the time he lie to deposit
bis ballot, for such are invariably lies
manufactured for the purpose and cir
culated too late for those attacked to
reply. Make up your mind to brand

which has brought dishOnor and shame
upon the state during the past YEAR,
The second part of the same question
is: Do the people desire to retire a
gentleman as their representative in
the highest legislative body in the ma.
ton, and put in his place an ignaraut
negro loving, half-breed Republican
appologist tor the accidental Roose-
veltH
The third part OF the same question
may be: Do the people want to return
to the highest possible expression Of
the true, honest, broard minded Mlssis-
sippian, and honor such in aficial
position, OF do they prefer to accept
the commercialism in politics, intro
duced in the nation by Mark Hanna,
and imported into this section by the
Roosevelt satellites of the LonginO and
Critz pattern.
Even If are we willing to join in the
trend Of the Washington push to s~ocialize
and pOliticalIZe the negro, and add 10
this commercial politics, we would
still have the discriminating difference
of q natural desire to see our state in
the hands of men of brains and states
men like bearing, and not boodlers aud
apPologists.
When yOu go to the primary on the
9th, Of August, remember the honor
and integrity Of your state lie as much in
your hands as any other individual,
great or small. Cast your ballot as a
conscientious and true SOutherner.
Vote for what you want. II it is black
supremacy, you have a right to vote it.
Mr.. Voter, it is your case to deter
mine. You are the judge and the jury.

Let Il not be forgotten that ell this
boast Of q successful business man 10
the office Of Governor, whose cash In
hand for campaign purposes can Be
traced directly to the collection OF
back taxes from the railroads, and to
which the LonginO push are 80 proud
to point with pride, is being paid back
TO the railroads In advanced freight
rates, and these freights are all paid
indirectly by every producer and ev-
cry consumer In the state. II you put
your hand into one of your pants
pockets and find that there isn't any
money there, and you happen to re-
member that you have a nickel in an
other pocket, take it out from it's hid
ing place and make the vacant pants
pocket glad to receive It; but when
you have done this how much have
you gained il you we're to strike a trla
balance? It figures out something like
Judge Calhoon's "defense" Of Lon
gino's pardoning Of the negro rapist
at YazOo City, who had been sent up by
Judge Calhoon thirty-fve years ago,
and whom the Governor didn't know
was a negro until after be had signed
the pardon.

The combining Of the farces Of
Longino and Critz brings the issues
square down toa question Of Vardaman
and Money and the white man to rule,
or Crltz and Longino, and the negro
on top in state and nation. Which is
the Mississippian's choice? Some
may tell you they are for Vardaman
and Longino, but the position is dira-
medically inconsistent and must have
an under current to It. The issues
are too closely drawn for any nan
to mistake them il be is intelligent
and not possessed Of two much preju-
dice. Probably there are a few isO-
lated cases where men have beer
appointed to position by Governor
Longino and their support demanded
by him, when they really prefer Mr.
Vardaman to either Of the other two
candidates running, but the position II
strained and entirely unnatural, and
savors much Of stll q further motive
being involved. When such a mar
comes to you and implores your vot'
for Longino for the senate, think ovei
the proposition for yourself befor'
you consent. Ask yourself II there
isn't a negro In the wood pile.

years Of age, lie reproduced and Senator

There can be no complaint lodged

is an opportunity to vote on which

such issue involved, but any man who
