THE MADISON COUNTY HERALD
PICKS BREWER.

The Madison County Herald in pin
ming its faith to Hon. Earl Brewei
thus sizes up the candidates:
Today the Herald announces it
standard bearer in the campaign fol
governor.
The Hon. Earl Brewe, the fearless.
young giant from Coahoma will lea(
the people to victory in 1907.
For several months we have care
fully scanned Mississippi's politica
horizon. We have viewed the lustel
Of each of the satellites that have ap'
peared in the sky. At each of the
six we have gazed long and earnestly.
We shave measured their strength,
their brightness, their worthiness.
We have measured the men.
Brewer, Truly, Noel, Thomas, Sis
son, Scott.
And mindful only Of the people,
weighing each of the gentlemen ac-
cOrding to his qualifications for the
high office of governor and advisedly
mindful of the circumstances and in
tluenceS which may or might surround
them or entangle them in the dis
charge Of their duties, in EAST each
each should be governor, we have
made a choice.
To the peOple-tO u readerS-to
some Of these esteemed and admitted
ly worthy gentlemen, we tender our
reasons for this choice.
We declare that we have selected
Earl Brewer adviSedly. AdviScdly,
because we have scanned the pages of
the private lives of all and have
weighed the creation OF their official
conduct. Advisedly. because we have
sought in all parts of the state for
unbiased expressions that might indi-
which Of the six pairs of Shout
derS were best calculated to carry the
burden Of the people in the coming
battle. AdviSedly, because we
the strongest man to cham
pion the peoples cause against the
great corporate interests which are
fast being marshalled against the
common interests Of the people.
We declare the integrity of Hon.
Jeff Truly a not be questioned, but
this is to be a fight such as few of us
have ever beheld: and Mr.. Truly has
not the strength political or physical
% undergo the ordeal.
Hon. Z. F. Noel is a splendid high
.Oned gentleman, a good contentious
legislator, and tho we believe he is
lot lacking in courage and physical
he has not the practical
tregth necessary to insure victory.
Hon. E. n. Thomas is a fine cultur-
d gentleman, whose announcement
S a candidate is still mysterious, and
whose political strength will be meas
red by Washington county and pos
thirty votes in Kinds.
Hon. T. L. SiSson is the attorney
or the Illinois Central railroad COM
and has been such for q number
# years, though on this subject he is
silent as upon what pledges he will
make for our suffrage.
Hon. ChaS. Scott has figured as the
boss" Of Bolivar county politics for
0 long that we would be suspicious of
even if it were not for the fact
hat he has been for years the attOr-
ey and legal advisor of the YaZoO &
Mississippi Valley railroad company.
Earl Brewer, who has fought his
from the very bottom of the lad
er, suffering handicapS that few men
ncounter, has never been associated
any way with the corporations.
With q clean private and official record,
the very prime of a vigorous life,
lgged, fearless and ever carrying the
into the enemies camp-of the
and responsive to the needs of
ne people, the first to sound the
anger call and the first to grasp the
word in cur defense, it is to Earl
.reWer that we will look for deliver
nee.
The people must win this fight.
he corporations must be rebuked.
,arl Brewer will lead the people.
