HON. CHARLES SCOTT
FOR GOVERNOR.

Hon. Chas. Scott, of Bolivar
county, should be the Delta's only
candidate for Governor.-Yazoo
City Herald.
From the tone of the State press
it appears that Hon. Chas. Scott
has got long lead on the other
candidates for Governor.-Pass
Christian.
The Pass Christian Beacon re-
marks: From the tone of the
State press it appears that Hon.
Charles Scott has a long lead on
the other candidates for Gov
ernor.'
If the election of the next Gov
ernor were left to the newspapers,
there is no denying the fact that
Hon. Chas. Scott would win IN
walk-and The Enterprise is in
clined to the opinion that the press
reflects the sentiment of the peo-
ple.-The Greenwood Enterprise.
Judging from his newspaper sup
port it looks as if Hon. Chas.
Scott of Rosedale has good chance
of being our next governor.-Hinds
County Gazette.
Newspaper support is pretty
good index to public sentiment
Vicksburg American.
The Greenwood Enterprise OBJ
serves that no other candidate for
office in Mississippi has received
more unanimous support from the
state press than has Hon. Chas.
Scott in his aspiration to the Gov
ernorship. Ninety per cent of the
newspapers of the state stand COM
mitted to his support.-The Col
umbian.
So far, we have seen but one
definite announcement for COVER
nor next year, that of Hon. Chas.
Scott, of Rosedale, Bolivar county.
Mr.. Scott is one of the most PROM
inent lawyers in the State and one
of the delta's most prosperous
farmers, and so far as we have
been able to learn is good man.

Hon. Charles Scott, of Rosedale
Bolivar county. is so far the only
candidate for governor who has
made formal announcement of the
fact. Those who knw Mr.. Scott
speak very highly OF him as gen.
tleman and as one who would make
a splendid chief executive. While
we do not know him, personally,
we are led to believe that he will
be a strong candidate.-Free Press.
The press of the State is saying
many good things about the Hon.
Chas. Scott, of Bolivar, who has
announced his candidacy for Gov
ernor. But no man who knows
Mr.. Scott could, in speaking or
writing of him, refer to him except
only in the highest terms, for his
life as soldier, official and citizen,
has been marked throughout by
noble acts and deeds that have
placed him prominently before
his people in the race he has just
started. The Greenville Times.
It is entirely too early to draw
conclusions or even to venture
much prophesy on the gubernato-
rial contingency, but at the pres
ent time, there is no doubt but
that Hon. Chas. Scott has decided
advantage. 1t seems that where
Mr.. Scott is we'll known he not
only has pull but chinch. In
our opinion Noel will not develop
the strength he had four years ago,
and certainly Brewer has underta-
ken the great task at an inoportune
time. Cox will not run. Critz has
hads his day, and Thomas is not
the man for the place-Southern
Sentinel, Ripley.
If the State press, taken as a
body, is any index to the sentiment
existing throughout Mississippi,
and it usually is, then there is not
the least doubt that the. Hon.
Chas. Scott of Rosedale, is several
strides ahead of any other of the
announced candidates for guberna-
torial honors. 1t has never been
the writers privilege to meet Mr..
Scott personally, but from all we
have ever read or heard of him we
conclude that he is one of the
ablest and brainest men the State
has and that none are better quail
fed as to purity of politics, of
character and of a higher standard
of craftsmanship, and should he be
gratified in his aspiration, none
would wear the honors more nobly
nor with more credit to the State
