. CHARLES SCOTT FOR
GOVERNOR.

AThe Hon. Charles SCOlt Has lol :
mally announced himself candi-
date for Governor of Mississippi.
This action has been gladly received
'bv his friends throughout the State,
who have for months past urged
him to become a candidate.
IN That Mr.. Scott is one of the
best equipped men in the State for
the Office to which he asplres, IS
eognized by all who know him.
gentleman of the Old South,
strong mental faculties, well
ucated, polished, knightly in
caring, magnetic, he has kept
lce with the rapid development
the New South, its industrial
~etivities and present problems,
nd as a private citizen has done
luch to assist in her onward and
pward march. 1t has been his
sork along these lines that has
de him known not only through
,ilt this, his native State, but in
surrounding States and even in the
countries of the Old World, for
never before has he asked the peo-
pie for public office. The service
rendered the State by Mr.. Scott as
a private citizen, in assisting in
developing her natural resources
and advertising her many advan-
tages, has been great, and has
to9some extent shown his love and
devotion to the people of this great
Commonwealth. AS Governor his
opportunity for efficient service
would be greatly broadened and
enlarged, and it is safe to predict
that along the lines of commercial
growth and progress his admins
tration would rank with the best.
Although, as we have said, he
has never hHeseettsssfoSs asked for puAt,~
lie Office, he has for many years
been ithe friend and advisor of
many of the brightest and ablest
public men of the State, and his
acquaintance with men and meas
ures would be of great value to him
and to the State should he be elected
: Governor.
THE DkmocRAT is proud that
Mr.. Scott is a citizen of Rosedale
and Bolivar county. Such man
is an honor to any community and
any State. Here, where he is
known best, he is loved most.
We know that he is a great man, in
every sense of the word, mentally
and morally, and no matter who
NAV enter the race there will be
none who will measure up more
fully to the high standard requisite
to the makeup of the ideal official.
The friends of Mr.. Scott enter
upon the campaign feeling that he
is invincible. Their enthusiasm
is unbounded, and they feel that
he will not only win, but that he
will be nominated by very large
majority.
Charles Scott will be Mississippi's S
next GovernoAN
