which marks a development in your

HIS CANDIDACY
FOR GOVERNOR.
Hon. r. u. Sisson, at Winona, Give
Out Formal Announcement;
Will Resign Present Office.

Hon. T. u. Sisson, today at Wi
mona, positively announced his can
didacy for governor of Mississippi.
Mr.. Sisson says
Il am now a candidate and at the
proper time will actively enter into
the canvass and will present my
views on the public questions to the
voters of Mississippi. It is my pur-
pose, at the proper time, to resign,
office of district attorney that I now
hold, in order to devote my time to
the campaign. / am: influenced to
do this because certain other candi-
dates have already announced their
candidacy and thus precipitated the
canvass.
"At present / have only to say
that am a candidats of no faction
and will not be of any, and hiatt
prove my fitness for the position, and
that I will not be connected with any
candidate for any other Office, but
will base my claims to the high Office
to which aspire solely on my At
ness and qualifications, and rely upon
the voters of the State as mass.
II am, and have been, q consistent
Democrat, in sympathy and harmony
with the National Democracy and its
platforms, and have never voted or
advocated any other ticket. I am .
native Mississipian and my public
record is part of my history and I
stand upon it. The old time Demo-
cratic doctrine of honesty and fitness
appeals to me in this contest, and I
only ask that the people weigh me
in those scales. shall make no
promises to any individual, but do
promise the people of the State, if
elected, to subserve their best in
terrsts without reference to any ute
rior ambition
1t shall be my purpose to address
the people of each county IN reference
to my candidacy before the primary,
and hope to meet my opponents
IN debate whenever it is practicable
to do so.'
