Assessing the Candidates.

Jackson, June 1.-THE Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of
Bolivar county, has led off in the
matter of fixing the amount of ex-
pense to which State candidates
will be subjected on account of
the coming primary.
At recent meeting it was de-
cided that State candidates should
be assessed $3.50 apiece in that
county as their contribution to
the cost of holding the election.
The amount so assessed is ex-
tremely reasonable and will doubt
less be highly appreciated by the
numerous State candidates.
If the other counties follow
the example set by the Bolivar
committee it will only cost a
State candidate $3.50 to get his
name on the official tickets in all
of the Is counties. The Bolivar
committee has decided that all
assessments from State and coun-
ty candidates shall be paid before
July Is or the name of the de-
faulting candidate will not be
placed on the official ballot.

Longino's Canvass Money Men Dis.
pirited.

Some of the same gang who
bolted the Democratic ticket at
the last two elections, and whose
abuse contributed largely to the
election of Gov. McLaurin to the
Senate, are yelping at the heels
of Gov. Longino, and they are
helping him just as they helped
Gov. McLaurin.
Gov. Longino is making a high
heeled canvass for the United
States Senate, and his election
seems absolutely certain. The
failure of Senator Money to enter
into joint canvass of the State
with Gov. Longino as has been
we'll stated by the Greenville Dem
ocrat, dispirited Col. Moneys
followers.
Candidates for State offices, as
some one has said, are the best
political barometers of all. They
are focking to Gov. Longino's
appointments and they will tell
you confidentially that Gov. Lon
gino is in the lead everywhere,
and as the canvass progresses
they grow holder, knowing that
they are not being hurt by such
talk, and state without enjoining
confidence that the Governor is
certain to be elected Senator.
In his speeches Gov. Longino
INDUCES in no personalities, but
gives the people cold steel facts.

A DEpLOpABLE PICTURE.

The Vicksburg Herald and the
Vicksburg Evening Post have
done much splendid service fer
Mississippi by denouncing mob
violence, cu'tivating a healthy
public sentiment on this subject,
and contending manfully for uni
versal respect for law and order.
1t is therefore both lamentable
and inconsistent to the last de-
gree to see both of these papers
supporting fer Governor, the
most important Office in the State,
a man who is openly and avowedly
committed to mob violence. 1t
shows in most pitiful way how
completely, sometimes, clear
headed, well-meaning men will
let their prejudices blind them.
In order to crafty their preju-
dice and spleen against Gov. Lon
gino, his McLaurin Supporters
and an imaginary Jackson ring,
a spleen, it seems, born of local
political faction and a prefer
ence by these Vicksburg editors
for certain Republican policies,
they are ready at a single blind
stroke, to undo, and worse than
undo the good work they have been
years in helping to accomplish
against the mob spirit.
The Leader can scarcely con-
ceive how anything could happen
to Mississippi worse than the cleo
tion of Major Vardaman for Gov
ernor, being, as he is, a race agi-
tator and an open advocate of the
mob. 1t would be setting the
hands of progress back and losing
all that has been gained in twenty
years, and it would not be surpris-
ing if, under such a State admin
istration, there were massacres of
negroes in Mississippi, which
would be as bloody and awful and
shock the civilized world as pro-
foundly as did the recent massacre
of Jews in Russia. That brutal
crime is directly traceable, accord
ing to high authority, to a race
agitator like Vardaman, with a
newspaper.
Nearly all of us have about as
much race prejudice or instinct as
we can we'll control, without Civ
ing willing ear and bride to dan
gerous race agitators. Let us
have care about playing with
fi1e, and act like Christians and
patriots.

JACKSON GAMBLERS INDICTED.

The grand jury of Kinds county
threw bomb into the society ele-
ment of jackson last week by
indicting a number of young men
" of social prominence" for
gambling. It is limited that they
are not = all youag, however.
When grand jury of the hub
county of the State, and located
at the State capital is simple~and
Puritanic and henest enough to
chafgee~7v'eaiitthk low crime men who
are scions Of noble families and
representatives of society, what is
left to be said of a piney woods
county jury that mildly states it
only lacks convicting evidence to
indict some blind tigers, (that
were actually seen to wink and,
with sufficient evidence proceeds
with charges for gambling against
a well known element! There
are more cranks in the mill than
ever were turned in Brookhaven;
and Judge Powell utilities them in
upholding the honor of the State
and the dignity of its statutes.
Mayor Hemingway, of the Capt.
tai City, is playing strong second
to Judge Powell, be it said to his
praise, and says the jackson gam
blers and blind tigers must go.

The Best Material Needed.

If we desire our future to com
pare with our past, we must exer-
else good judgment in selecting
members for both branches of the
Legislature. Men with revolu-
tionary ideas should not receive
even complimentary vote. Such
should be the case with guberna-
torial aspirants. To put a man at
the head of the State government
whose sole ambition is to expert
ment with State and federal con-
situations would be a calamity to
the present growth and develop
ment of the States resources.
Such a man would disorganize la
Dor and drive it away, cause cap
ital to pass around us and cripple
commerce.
We want men with practical
ideas in the Legislature and we
must have practical man for
Governor. This is not the time
for the theorist and experimenter
to hold Office. -Hazlehurst Cour-
ier.

FROST IN JUNE.
Political Ambition Nipped Money
Loses on His Own Speech.

The much advertised address of
Senator Money in the interest of
his candidacy for reelection to a.
seat in the United States Senate,
took place at the court house last
Saturday night.
The size of the crowd tells the
tale.
After liberal newspaper notices
and dodgers cast throughout the
country, on balmy moonlight
night in a city of 5000, the larg-
est in his old Congressional dis
trict, there were by actual count
Is persons present at the speak
ing, less than Is of whom we're
qualified voters.
The size of the audience was a
fair indication of the strength of
Mr.. Money in Water Valley and
vicinity, and was sc accepted by
warm admirers of his from Coffee
vile and Oakland who were pres
ent.
In personal appearance Mr..
Money sadly changed. The
vigor is gone from his step and
bearing. He looks soured and
aged and disappointed and his
speech is bilious and full of i'll
temper.
On the tariff, trusts and similar
questions Mr.. Money stands with
other Democratic leaders, but on
the matter of trace ISSUE he is
in opposition to practically every
brainy man of the South.
The speech was a disappoint-
ment to his warmest admirers,
and they are now sorry he was
brought into the county,
1t was the speech of a loser and
confirms the growing majority
for Longino. Water Valley Pro
gress, June -.
The above is akin to Senator
Moneys experience at Summit,
where the ugly spirit he displayed,
no less than the subject matter of
his speech, Disguised his support
ers and turned them all into the
Longino ranks.

The Leader today publishes
the full text of the Noel primal y
election law. AS nominations for
all elective officers are to be made
this year under the provisions of
this law. every voter into whose
hands it falls should study it care
fully and keep it for reference.
Under this law no one except per-
sons qualified-to vote in Novem-
Der, will be permitted to paltici-
pate in making nominations, and
there are several other provisions
that are well worthy of close at
tention. The law is, in all re-
spects, as binding as the regular
election law, and persons violating
it lay themselves liable to the pen
alties prescribed.

THE PEOPLES CHAMPION.

1t has almost passed into a pro-
verb that republics are migrate
full, but The Leader does not be-
lieve that the people of Missis-
sippi will prove this by refusing
to elect as their Governor Hon.
Z. 4. Noel, who has done so much
for the cause of the peoples
rights and free government, and
whose public and private record
stands without stain or reproach.
Not only has Senator Noel a
public and private record which
cannot be successfully assailed at
any point, but he has proved him
self a safe, conservative and
brave champion of the peoples
rights. He is the author of the
primary election law, which The
Leader publishes in full today.
For two sessions of the Legisla-
ture Senator Noel made a strong
and persistent fight against the
convention and ring politicians of
his party to get this law passed.
The first time it was introduced
and passed by the Senate, it was
killed by the politicians in the
House. At the last session of the
Legislature Senator Noel prompt
ly reintroduced the bill and again
it passed the Senate, but a num-
Der of Objectionable amendments
were tackled on to it, when it went
to the House, for the purpose of
loading it down and defeating it,
and when it went back to the Sen
ate for concurrence, some of
these, though not all, had
to be accepted in order to
prevent its defeat a second
time. The main features, how
ever, for which Senator Noel con-
tended, were retained and the OBJ
jectionable ones accepted in pref
erence to having the whole meas
ure indefinitely postponed, as it
was we'll known that these defects
could be remedied by future leg
islation.
But Senator Noel's champion
ship of this measure in the in
terest of the voters of the State,
did not end with its passage by
the Legislature and approval by
the Governor. 1t had scarcely
become a law before it was assail-
ed in the courts and an effort
made to prove it unconstitutional
and void. The Senator then went
before the Supreme Court as vol
unteer counsel at his own expense
and argued it before that tribunal
and won a second victory for the
people by favorable decision.
At the last session of the Sen
ate, when one attempt to amend
the antitrust law and throttle the
cotton seed oil combine and other
trusts which were preying upon
the people, had been defeated,
Senator Noel got an amendment
before the Senate a second time
and produced such strong proof
of the existence of the cotton seed
oil trust that that body did not
dare 60 On record a second time
against such a measure. Not only
did Senator Noel produce this
proof and insist on the passage of
the amendment, but he agreed to
give his personal security to pay
the costs of the first test case if it
should 60 against the State. The
amendment passed and the cotton
seed oil trust, the ice trust. etc.,
went to pieces, so far as Mississippi
pi was concerned.
We believe the people of Lin
coin county and the people of
Mississippi will delight to honor
such man, and by their votes at
the August primary say, "Well
done, good and faithful servant"
