EARL BREWER FOR GOVERNOR,

The Register prints elsewhere in
this issue some Of the comments of
the state press upon the candidacy of
the Hon. Earl Brewer for governor of
Mississippi. W. publish these ex-
tracts that it may be seer that his
candidacy is meeting with popular
favor at the hands or the press.
The Register expects to support
Mr.. Brewer 10 the coming campaign,
for 1t feels that In him we have a
man who really measures up to the
high standard required to make an
ideal governor. An acquaintance
with his past life, the hardships he
has undergone, his fight against pow
erty and adversities in real life has
made him brave and strong, and given
him an acquaintance with the home
life, privations, wants and necessities
Of the toiling masses Of Mississippi
that causes him to display a feeling
and affection for them that is easily
observed in his every day life.
The Register does not believe that
Mississippi should choose for her gov
ernor n far removed from the COM
mon people, and who does not possess
sympathy for toiling humanity by
long years OF association with the
weather. classes, and study of great
financial problems far removed from
the small needs or desires Of the mar
who earns his bread by the sweat of
his brow, when men like Hon. Earl
Brewer are available fresh from among
the toiling masses. and whose very
heart beats and thrObs with ~apprecia-
tive knowledge and sympathy for his
struggling brother.
The lessons Of history teach US that
the rock upon which all former ships
OF state have wrecked, has been by
the officers in charge and control Of
Of the ship sailing in the interest Of
the classes and against the interest of
the masses, thus making it year by
year harder and more burdenSome
upon the laborer or producer while |
the idle consumer thrives by class
legislation and political favors, but
by choosing the officers who control
our state from men like Brewer whose |
every inclination would be TO watch
out for the interests Of the people, |
we do our state a great service. We
call especial attention to the article
in this issue written by Mr.. Davis, |
who has known Mr.. Brewer all his
life, and we agree with him when he
says Mississippi is about to enter upon
era Of industrial progress and that
we need at the head of the govern
ment a young, progressive, prudent.
conservative, business man; and we
further agree with him when he says
that Earl Brewer is the ideal man for
the place. This man has by his up
right walk in private life, and fair
dealing with his fellow man, shown
rs that he is worthy; by his b~usineSSj
,agacity and taking care of his own
business affairs, convinced us
hat he is a business man Of no small
and by bis Official conduct
demonstrated bis capability and will
ngness to fll the Office we'll.
1t is said by some that he is too
'oung, but this was said OF him when
,e ran for state senator; but notwith.
tanding his age he made an admira-
lie senator. And the same was said
Il him when he began as district at
orney, but the manner in which he
las filled the Office and the splendid
'ecord he has made as district attor-
ley demonstrates the error Of this
|,
The Register offers him as its man
rom Coahoma, young, progressive,
nd full OF the vigor Of youth, strong
I body and mind, full Of energy and
OF meeting any who may
spire upon the hustings, with a clean
olitical record and a moral life above
eproach. THE man who beats him
be governor. "-Clarksdale Req f.;
