HERALD'S CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR.

The ClarkSdale Register OF last
week devoted the entire front page of
its up-to-date and attractive sheet to
comment and the reproduction of
favorable comment-by many OF the
leading and best edited papers OF the
state on the candidacy of Hon. Earl
Brewer for governor Of Mississippi.
Since the announcement that this
able and distinguished gentleman
would be candidate for the highest
office within the gift Of the people of
the state, much favorable comment
and large following has been as
sured that will procure him place to
the front in the coming campaign.
The Herald predicts from intimate
acquaintance and knowledge of Mr..
Brewer that when he comes before
the people personally in his own be-
half, that the masses will recognize in
him the ideal exponent and champion
OF all that should stand for them
against class legislation and dictatiOn
of corporations that now SO peculiarly
imperilS the welfare OF the state.
Our state has well entered and ad-
vanced into an era of progressive in
duStry. Capital is flowing into busl-
ness channels and business interests
are building up. and without proper ,
guidance bv the hand that steers the
ship of state, may result IN harm and
restrictions to The weak and less for
tunate, as is now the condition of
many of our sister Northern states. |
Brewer, rs has been ably shown, by
an editorial reproduced in another col
umn from tl,, ,rkSdale Register, is a
man OF thep., . .iiaving gone through |
all the trials q; Jfuverty from an i'm |
pOveriShrh orphan to the success Of
the present, barsied against the diff
ficultieS OF resi- siricted advantages of
youth, now AIDS as much as any
man or more ii, ;norOugh accord and |
sympathy with ,n,. needs and best in |
tereSts Of tile ;",llng masses OF the |
state.
He is young ambitious and with |
fearless StrenMSity, stands with those |
great refOrmerS OF the nation, like |
of the people and the bright star of
hope TO those who believe IN equal |
rights to all free citizens Of a free |
and, as such, would, as gov
vernon of the state, exert every effort
to serve his people we'll and faithfully.
His record as district attorney of
the 11th district is brilliant one and
a record 10 which every law abiding
and peace loving citizen points with
pride. He found the district in
condition. Ira
vesty was made of justice in the courts
and murderers, gamblers and blind
tiger tiendS stalked abroad and laughed
at the courts, feeling assured that
they could no. be reached. But with
the fearless and able assistance of
Judge Sam c. Cook, Brewer soon
brought about new era. The guilty
were punished. the blind tigers were
ferretted out and the rich and poor
alike were made to feel the strong arm
of the law. The people of the dis
trict came 10 herald Brewer aS the
true exponent of all that is ideal in
the true Of11cer. sworn TO perform his
duty, without fear or favor. And to
day our district stands as whole as
clean and free from crime as any in
the state. The erStwhile yiOlatUr OF
the law now accepts the new regime
with cOmplacency and satisfaction,
that the enforcement of
the law stands for the happ;est gov
ernment of the people.
With such man as governor of the
state, and with all the bright aud al
Turing promises Of prosperous pro-
gress, the people Of Mississippi could
and will enter the next official term
with optimistic confidence that it will
be one of the brightest and best 10 her
history.
The Herald unqualifedly endorses
Jhe Hon Earl Brewer for governor Of
NJ MiSSiSSippi. Tallahatchie Herald.
