States in the land. This man of many
successes is the one man for the office.
This paragraph fits Charles Scott of
Bolivar, as though it had been written
for him, and SO it was.-Natchez Demo-
crat.
Hon. Charles Scott announces his can
didacy for gubernatorial honors. With
out any reference to any other prospec-
tive candidates, The Leader believes that
there is no man in the State better quail
flied for the office as to purity and
cleanness of political and personal life,
or of higher degree of craftsmanship,
than the Bolivar County candidate.-
West Point Leader.
The Reveille is pleased to see the def
mite announcement of Hon. Chas Scott
of Bolivar County, for Governor. He
is man of ability, strong character and
liberality-a prototype of John M.
Stone, though a brainer man.
We believe that Mr.. Scott would
make just the Governor Mississippi
needs. He possesses all of the courage
of conviction which is the commend
able feature of the present administra-
tion, coupled with that broad mind
which makes "big man"
Without waiting to see who else may
enter the race, the Reveille intends to
support Mr.. Scott.-Port Gibson Reveille.
The Herald Jackson letter today con-
tains the definite statement of his can
didacy for Governor by the Hon. Charles
Scott, of Bolivar County. While the
election does not come off until 1907,
the subject has already been much agi-
tated in the State press. As his name
has figured prominently in the dis
cussion, to end speculation as to his
position, presumably, and with char
acteristic directness, Mr.. Scott has, thus
early, "hung his banner on the outer
wall" Little or much as it's support
may amount to, The Herald is for him.
This is because, first, we know him to
be sagacious, able, patriotic and cour
ageous man; and, second, because of
close friendship running back almost to
the war days. On such an acquaintance
our faith that he will make the State
a model Governor is founded-Vicksburg
Herald, January 21, 1906.
Chas. Scott of Bolivar is loved for
the friends he has made, which is re-
versal of the old antiquated moss-covered
chestnut that has been worked to death
by the old politicians. His claim to
recognition is that he is successful
Mississippian and that his merits en-
title him to the best that his fellow
citizens can bestow upon him-their vote
idea of using the office as tool by
IL Ii int bo
United States Senate. Nor has he been
feeding at the public crib with view
to laying the wires to land himself in
the gubernatorial chair.-Natchez DEM
ocrat and Courier.
The announcement of the candidacy
for Governor of Hon. Charles Scott is
received with qualification all over his
beloved State. Many prominent jour-
nails, including the Vicksburg Herald,
have promptly announced support,
and the Jackson News and other able
sheets, while noncommittal at this early
stage of the campaign, publish splendid
and eloquent tributes to the merits and
charater of the illustrious applicant for
well deserved civic honors. While strong
with all classes and thoroughly identi
fed with every progressive aspiration
of his people, he is peculiarly farm

1t may be definitely and authorita-
lively declared that the Hon. Chas.
Df oAo1o will ha n6i n q
for the office of Governor of Mississippi.
This decision of Mr.. Scott is pleasing
to the American, and to the extent of its
ability its support and assistance at his
service. 1t is the belief of this paper that
served by the choice of Mr.. Scott as
its Governor than by that of any other
man in it.
In wisdom, knowledge of law and
public affairs, decision of mind and
elevation of character he is surpassed
by none; and the tact and grace of his
personality combine with his ability and
intellectual attainments to fit him emf
nently for the high position to which he
aspires.-Vicksburg American.
The candidacy of Hon. Charles Scott,
for Governor, is attracting great atten-
ton throughout the State, and many
very favorable comments on it are be-
ing made. One thing is true, with the
advent of Mr.. Scott in the race, all the
kindergarten campaigns of the past will
be forgotten and the race will take on
manly vigor right from the start. 1t
will be no child's race and the office
will not be won by atfable smiles.
There will be no question but that a
number of candidates will enter the list,
but if they want to win they can make
up their minds to oppose the finest cam
paigner that ever entered the lists and
drew a lance. One whose qualities for
making friends that will remain true and
steadfast can not be equaled save by
his own sterling qualities and gener-
business of heart.-Sunfower Tocsin, In
dianola.
Hon. Chas. Scott, of Rosedale, appears
to be ''in the running" considerably. 1t
might be said of Mr.. Scott right here,
that he is independent, financially,
which is a mighty good thing in pub
lie official; that he has not been and is
not now, as far as we have been able to
learn, connected with any of the rings,
formed to filch from the people power or
Doodle, which debase the politics of
every great commonwealth, Mississippi
not excepted; and his private and per-
sonal record is clean. These, in them
selves, will have much weight with the
conservative element.-Kemper Herald.
