GENERAL HOOKER PICKS
THE WINNER.

General Charles Edward Hooker,
of Jackson, Miss, one of the most
distinguished officers in the Army
of the Confederacy, came to the
city to attend the annual banquet
yesterday evening of the Army of
Tennessee, Louisiana Division.
When he was asked about politi-
cal a fairs in Mississippi, General
Hooker said that while therewere
already several candidates for the
gubernatorial Office there was every
indication in favor of Charles Scott.
Mr.. Scott has no political record
behind him and he has no political
debts to pay. He is revered and
respected from one end of the state
to the other, and Mississippi could
not do better than select him to fill
the gubernatorial ofice.-New Or

HON. cHAs. scorr's PLATFORM.

Hou. Chas Scott, who recently an
nouced his candidacy for governor, has
issued an address to the democratic
voters, showing the platform on which
he will make tho race. The paper is a
most busin ess-like document, to the
point, aud devoid of n surplus of words.
1t is an address that should appeal to
every sensible democrats voter, for 1t
shows that it was prepared by states
man of executive ability, who is well
qualified from a business standpoint
and up i'll the know ledge OF law, as well
as being fully aware OF the many respon-
sililtites OF the office he seeks and being
equipped in every way to meet every re-
.quirement ir fulfilling the duties that
would devolve upon him.-The Newton
Record.
The Bolivar County Democrat. (Rosedale, Miss.) 1887-1969, 1906-04-21

1t is surprising how good repu-
tation travels. Hon. Chas. Scott,
of Rosedale, has received laudatory
mention by newspapers all over
the state during the past few
weeks; he seems to be as well
known in one section as another
and his progressive spirit and high
sense of honor seem to be univer-
sally appreciated. Mr.. Scott, is an
able and energetic lawyer, a man
of affairs and is thoroughly equip
ped for the office to which he as
pires. He has a clear understand
ing the conditions here and if
elected will do much toward put
ting Mississippi OIL a commercial
footing with the older and richer
states of the union. He will in
crease the confidence which those
abroad have in us and Our institu-
tons. The Yellow Dog.

HON. CHARLES scorr's POSITION

Hon. Charles Scott, the fnrner-candi-
date for governor, has published Il man.
lv address to the voters Of the state,
clearly defining his position. He is rum
ming upon his merits without decrving
the merits of any honorable competitor
who aspires to the high position he
seeks. In making the campaign he will
appeal to the discriminating Judgment
of Missippians and cheerfully abide their
decision. He is absolutely independent
of factions and cliques and has no per-
sonal platform or hobby. Democracy
is broad enough for him and the state
best interests constitute his slogon and
his quest.
During his campaign he will make nc
"entangling alliances" and will not be
responsible for tile utterances or meth
ods of those who in their tactional divis
ions may choose to borrow strength b,
attaching their political fortunes 10 his
and arraying their cohorts under hi.
spotless banner.
Under no circumstances will he barter
the heritage of his people by pledgini
patronage for support. What ever th'
result of the campaign may be, he vii
come out oft with proud boast that h
had not promised Il single place at ex
ecutive disposal. to any aspirants.
His following will be phalanx Of dis
interested patriots. if there chance to b
