welfare of the state has Suffered at
times, in the past, by i'll feeling
and Intermediary strife engendered
and kept alive by the baleful fires
of factional politics. As hereto
fore stated, / am not the represen-
tative of any man, or set of men.
but if elected to the office of chief
executive of the state, I shall be
the servant of the whole people,
and I pledge myself in advance, to
give them, a non-factional admin
istration, and as / shall be altogether
untrammelled and unembarrassed
by factional or other alliances, !
shall be in position to discharge
the important duties of this ex-
allied Office without fear or favor,
and with an eye single to the best
interests of the whole people.
In conclusion let me say, my
countrymen, that my campaign
will be conducted vigorously, in
dustriously and persistently at all
times, but always on a high and
honorable plane. 1t is unwise and
would prove detrimental, perhaps
to the best interests of the state, to
precipitate an active political con
test in the way of public gatherings
and speeches until the coming fall
or winter, but / will endeavor, from
time to see as many of you as pos
sible in person, and later on, l will
take pleasure in addressing the vo-
tiers in each and every county of
the state, as a practical man, on the
political and practical issues of the
day. An open field and a fair
fight is all l expect or desire and.
thereafter. l will cheerfulIy abide
your decision whatever it may
chace to be.
Iregard the governorshp of Mis-
sissippi as the highest honor that
can be enjoyed by a southern man
of the present day. 1t was elevat
ed, if elevation was necessary, to a
position tar above that of the
United States senatorship, when
the great southerner, Jefferson
Davis, resigned his seat in that au-
gust assembly to enter the guber-
material contest in this, his adopt
ed state. If then / am elected by
you to this exalted Office, after
serving your interest for the full
term with answering fidelity and
all the ability | may possess, / shall
thereafter be content to leave other
honors to your more worthy sons.
As for myself, shall not become
a candidate for the United States
senate under any conditions dur
ing the continuance Or after the
expiration of my .gubernatorial
term, but it will then be my pride
and pleasure to devote the remain
der of my allotted days to agricul-
tural pursuits and to the service of
our state and common country in
the honorable position of a private
citizen of this great common
wealth.
Yours respectfully,

fact, l shall earnestly favor for The
dominant race adequate, indeed
liberal, appropriations for educa
tional purposes, So as to afford
good common school education
free of cost, to every child within
the confines of the state. Missis'
sippi is already justly commended
for her liberality i'll such matters
but l should like to see more money
devoted to the neighborhooo
schools, for the benefit of those O.
our people who, for want of means.
can not afford to give their children
a collegiate education. With the
continued rapid devel opment of oul
resources and the large increase il
taxable property which will be
secured as one result of a wise and
economical state administration,
this can be done without adding
one cent to Our tax rate, and with
out deducting one. cent from the
higher educational institutions fol
both sexes, which are deserving OIL
every care and consideration at the
hands of the state.
All highly civilized nations have
long ago approved the importance
of general education, and the Ger
mans are especially active along
this line. We are informed by a
recent writer of note, that they
provide education up a to certain
point, which would be a high one
if taken upon any standard applied
in the United States, compulsory
to the youth of both sexes, and be-
yond that point they offer, al
very small cost, the highest posi-
BILE education for those who seek
it."
/ do not believe in compulsory
education in this country nor is il
necessary here, but / submit that
the proud state Of Mississippi, the
state Of Davis aud Lamar and
George and Walthall and many
other eminent statemen and publ
cists, should see to it that proper
educational facilities are afforded
all the, children, ranging from the
kindergarten and common school
instruction up to the highest clas-
steal and scientific education attain
able under modern methods. moi
neglecting by any means, the in
dustrial, chronological, and agri-
cultural branches, which be of the
greatest practical benefit, in proper.
ly developing the varied resources
of the state.
The foregoing are my views witt
reference to the white population
of the state. As for the education o
the negro population, | am strong
ly impressed with the idea that /
should be, fol the most part, alon;
industrial lines SO as to aid in prac-
ticallv equipping them, as far a
possible, for the useful duties which
they are to perform.
/ favor, in the main, the primary
election laws, including this meth
cd of voting for our representative
in the United States Senate.

state should and will vote for every
candidate, / am sure, according t.
their respective views of his hon
esty, ability, and fidelity, all o
which are necessary qualification:
for the proper and satisfactory dis
charge of his official duties. Thi:
is one of the greatest benefits secur
ed to us by the primary election
laws, and no trades, combinations
or promises of official appointment
should be countenanced or tolerat'
ed or approved.
If elected governor, as / expect
to be, l shall give the state all III.
telligent business administration
along practical lines, such as may
seem requisite and necessary fol
the conservation and betterment
of the material interests of the
whole people.
Being a firm believer in the prin-
ciples of the democratic party,
which gives equal rights and op-
portunitiss to all, and special priv
ileges to none, and fully realizing
with all true Mississippians that
we are indebted to this party Of
Jefferson and Jackson for the pre-
servation and maintenance of civ
ilization and white supremacy in
the south, I shall continue in the
future, as in the past, to be guided
in matters political by the party
mandate and the party policy.
l shall not play pea nut" poll
tics" however, nor shall I pro-
claim any doctrine of false democ-
racy, to the detriment of the true
interests of our people, all of whom
are alike concerned in upholding
the majesty of the law and in the
welfare of the community.
In my efforts in this direction, ]
shall confidently rely on the coop
Grafton Of the whole citizenship Of
Mississippi. Distinguished at all
times, by their probity, industry
and earnest patriotism, they will
take pleasure in helping to develop
and utilize the marvellous resource:
and potentialities of our beloved
state, many of which, now dormant
only await the vitalizing touch 0.
capital and opportunity to sprine
into life, thus adding enormously
to the wealth of the state, by in
creasng the value of our cotton anc
other products, through the estab'
lishment of cotton factories an6
woodwork factories of various sort:
and other plants throughout oul
borders.
1t is admitted by all patriots and
publicists that the prosperity of the
people, the morality of society, ans
the safety, and perpetuity of on
political institutions are dependent
primarily, on the education and i'll
telligence of the people. We cal
not marvel, then, that the FREE
school system of American has al
ways been, and is now, recorded a
the foundation stone upon which
rests our whole social and politiaa
fabric.

My Fellow Citizens: In making

In voluntarily offering to assume
these new and great responsible
ties, l do so in the hope and belief
that my long and varied experience
as a lawyer of extensive practice
and a business man whose agricul-
tural, commercial and other inter
ests have required the constant ex
ercise and development OF execu-
tive ability, may assist somewhat,
in the intelligent and conscienti Gus
discharge of the varied and COM
plex duties devolving upon the
chief executive of a great state, to
which duties / shall earnestly and
assiduously devote my whole Of
fetal life, having already taken the
preliminary steps necessary by so
arranging my private affairs t: at
they will require no part of my time
nor attention after the present year.
To begin with, I want it distinct

man and to no set of men.
/ also want it understood that
am running solely on my own mer
its, whatever they may be, and not
on the dement's, real or IMAGINARY,
of any of my numerous and honor
able competitors.
l will state further, at the out
set, that l have not made, nor do
intend to make, any trade or com,
bination with any other candidate
or candidates for any office, state,
county, municipal or national.
have not promised, nor do I intend
to promise, directly or indirectly
any office or appointment or emol-
ument which has been, or which

acting alone in his official capacity
or as a member of any committee
or other official board. Not only
So, but I distinctly state that nc

whatever in my name. No rea

Wilson returned today from an ex-

many meat packing plants in the var
Ious cities he visited, making it a
point always to call at the plants Of a

In a majority Of instances the sec

meet the requirements Of the law with
out quibble or protest. their desire be-
ing simply to learn definitely what is

BY Oct. I, when the inspection Of
domestic products will begin, the Sec
retary believes that the majority Of

Of the new law.

are enormous, the oats crop being one

SILVER IN FAVOR WITH
DIRECTOR Of THE MINT
For First Time in Thirteen
Years Government Buys
Silver for Coinage.
Stock of Bullion Has Run Out,
and Nation is in the Mar
ket for More.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 30-The
following dispatch is interesting read
ing and was evidently inspired.
For the first time in thirteen years
the government announced today it's
purpose to purchase silver for coinage
purposes. Tenders are invited at the
office Of the director of the mint in
this city on Wednesday up to o'clock
p. M, and every Wednesday there
after until further notice.
From the resumption Of specie pay
nents in 1879 down to the year 1900
the constant increase in the stock Of
subsidiary coin required by the grow
ing population and trade of the coun-
try was supplied by the recoinage Of
old and uncurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the treasury
under the resumption act. In 1900, as
this stock was running low, authority
was granted under the resumption
act of March 14th to the secretary Of
the treasury to divert bullion pur-
chased under the act of July IA, 1890,
| in the coinage of silver dollars to the
coinage Of subsidiary pieces. Under
this authority about $32,000,000 has
been coined since 1900.
'The stock Of bullion In the treasury
was exhausted more than year ago,
and since then no bullion has been
| available for the subsidiary use. The
stock in the treasury had become so
lev that it was apparent, according to
the department, that the demands Of
a constantly enlarging trade could not
be- met without additional coinage. The
secretary Of the treasury was in doubt
whether existing statutes authorized
him to buy bullion for this purpose,
and, moreover, was Of the opinion that
it would be better policy to meet fu-
ture demands for subsidiary coin by
the recoinage of silver dollars in the
| treasury, and so recommended to cOn-
gress Congress however having fail
| ed to act upon his recommendation,
Secretary Shaw requested an opinion
from the attorney-general as to au-
! thority to purchase bullion for this
purpose under existing laws, and he
received a favorable reply, based on
section 1926 of the Revised Statutes.
| The policy now announced was &C.
cordingly determined upon.
''The United States gQyernment has
been in the past an important factor
in the silver market. In preparing for
the resumption of the fractional paper
currency issued during and following
| the Civil War it began in January,
1875, series Of purchases ending in
February, 1878, which aggregated 81,
| GO2.9O5 fine ounces, which cost $37.
57l,14S in gold. or an average of 81
per ounce fine.
