VIII Be Issued In Seutember,

G. l.. LomaX, of Greenwood, chairman
of the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, and chairman Of the committee
appointed at the meeting Of the State
committee to issue an address to the
democracy of Mississippi touching ON
the coming national campaign, spent
Tuesday in the city.
Mr.. Eomax stated that this address
would not be issued until September,
after the campaign had opened up in
the doubtful states Of the East and West.
He says that he has been in communica-
ton with the managers in the East, and
they are Of the opinion that it would
be best not to make public this address
until the battle was on, for it would
lose its effect before election, and would
not be as productive of as much
good.
The address, however, Mr.. Lomax
says, will be issued in September and
will urge liberal contributions from
Mississippians to the campaign fund
to be spent in the doubtful states, and
urge a full vote at the polls in Novem-
Der.
Mr.. Lomax has mapped out q cam
paign for the organization of Parker
club and through these clubs he expects
to raise the fund. He will organize the
Democratic clubs in the different coun-
ties, Of Mississippi, through the execu-
tive committees Of the counties, ex-
pecting each member Of the committee
to organize a club in his community.
1T will be after the clubs have perfected
their organization that the address
will be ssued.--Jackson News.
