NOEL WILL BE
THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
Mlli Receive at Least $4,000 Votes In
first Primary.

In 1908, Hon. Il. H. Noel made his first
race for governor. In that race he was
opposed by Hon. James X. Vardaman,
who was then making his third race for
governor, and by Judge r. A. Critz,
who was then making his second race
for governor. Out Of about 10000 votes
pollod at that election Noel received
over $4,000. Let us not forget that this
was his first race for a state office and
he was of course then unknown to many.
He is now In the race the second time
for governor against Ave other candl-
dates, none OF whom has ever made the
race before. Ii il reasonable to suppose
that there will be 10000 votes cast at
the incoming August Primary. Noel
will carry his original easily and 1t Is
but a low estimate to say that he will
by his acquaintance and popularity add
$4,000 votes to his old list. That will
In round Numbers give him $4,000 votes
at the First Primary. That will leave
10000 votes to he divided among the
other Five candidates. These are con-
servative figures. That will put Noel
he leading man in the Second Primary.
The people have faith in him as clean
and able man, and one who would make
model governor. 1t will be easy to
have the votes rally around his banner.
Now lot us look at the political field.
1t will be denied that Mississippi Is to-
day divided INFO two political factions.
One Of them is headed by Governor Var
uaman and the other by McLaurin and
Williams. The lines these two factions
are already drawn tight and definite. 1t
will also be undenied that Truly and
Brewer belong to the McLaurin-Wil-
liams faction and that Scott and Sisson
belong to the vardaman faction. Now
put Noel In the Second Primary with
Truly and it Is certain that Noel would
get the Scott-Sisson vote Put him In
the Second with Scott and 1t Ia likewise
certain that he would get the Truly
Brewer support. Put him in with Brew
or and he. would get the Scott-Sisson
vote, and put him in with slsson and he
would get the Truly-Brewer support
SO either way You put II Noel will in the
Second Primary get the support .of one
or the other Of the opposing political
factions. Add this support to his s5,-
900 votes, which he ia certain to get in
the First Primary, and Noel is elected.
He is neutral man, is not lined up
with either faction. He is running alone
on his merit and Is not opposing or hght-
ing either side. He Is friendly to both
and has many friends and admirers in
tho ranks Of both factions who will glad
support him when their factional man ID
ont Of the race. So II looks like II will
be impossible to prevent Noels cleo
tion. He has been In public life for
long while and none can now be found
who will deny that he Ia clean honest
and able man and would make US great
governor. Ilurrah for Noel Holly

WILLIAMS SPEAKS
70 LARGE CROWD.

Sumner, Miss. July "a. Hon John
Sharp Williams spoke here this after
noon to one Of the largest crowds that
ever gathered in Tallahatchie county.
An interesting feature Of the occasion
was the arrival Of a special train, char
tered BY them, Of a delegation Of fully
$50 citizens Of Lefore county, headed
by Hon. D. P. Montgomery, OF Green
wood. They fled into the court house
at the close of Hon. r. L. Wards intro
duction OF Mr.. Williams, and gave three
lusty cheers for John Sharp williams
and Lefore county.
MIR. Williams address was q fnrceful
and convincing presentation Of his po-
sition as candidate for the United
States Senate. The immense crowd in
attendance was in complete sympathy
with the speaker and wildly cheered
him from the beginning to the close Of
his mastery address.
This is the largest box In the della
district of TalIahatchie county, and will
go four to one for Williams.

"A report having bten circulated that

my Dear Sir: Il have your message
stating that there ID . report current
that Hon. John Sharp Williams was
drunk at Clinton, etc. l wish to say
that there is no truth In the report.
Mr.. Williams has spoken only once at
Clinton and that was last fall. l was
away from home at the time, but l am
assured by members Of my faculty that
there was no evidence that he was
drinking, even moderately, to say
nothing Of excessively. regret exceed

gone out, for it is untrue.

why THE PEOPLE SHOULD SUPPORT Mr..
NOEL FOR GOVERNOR.

One good and plausible reason is
that he is one Of the very best mep
in the race for the governorship.
Another good reason is that he is
fair and square when dealing with
his fellowman as he has already
proven in many ways. He has al
ways worked hard and catered to the
wishes and wants Of the Democratic
party in Mississippi and this alone
should inspire every true Mississip-
plan to vote for the man. He Justly
deserves it and we owe it to him as
mark our Of appreciation for the
high elevation in which he has
placed politics.
He certainly should have the pref
erence over the other candidates for
the Office which is now within the
gift Of the enlightened people Of our
beloved State.
What did the primary election
Law do for us? He was the father
Of it. II eliminated alFrascality and
fraud from politics. When we had
the old prorating system in vogue
we would get up night after night
and trade and figure, and generally
the weakest man would win out.
Not 20 today. This has all been
cradicatcd.
Besides all this be is a good chris
tian gentleman, and this is the kind
Of man that should hold the govern
mental reins in hand and lead the
proud State Of Mississippi on TO-
greater achievements.
Support the man who has already
done 10 much and he will do more
next time. -Yazoo City News.

DEFENDS ON WHOSE OK IS GORtD.

The Reverend j, B. Gambrell, 8
minister of the Baptist Denomina
ton whose present home is in the
Lone Star State, seems to have de-
serted his pulpit to write campaign
documents in the interest Of Hon,
John Sharp Williams. The editor
of The Entergrise would be the last
person in the world to rob minis.
ter of his right of citizenship, his
own father having served in the min
istry Of this great religious sect and
the editor himself being a member
OF the same denomination, but when
a great preacher drags his sack-cloth
through the dust across two states
to dabble in politics in an effort to
avenge a fancied wrong, it is time to
call halt. Greenwood Enterprise.
1t depends altogether as to whose
OK is gored when objections are
made against ministers Of the Cos
pei taking stock in politics. 1t was
all right for Rev. Se,be REEVES and
Rev, J. b. Lawrence TO write cam
paign thunder for Vardaman four
years ago, but now it seems that
Rev, J, B, Gambrell has committed
an objectionable sin for having
merely protested against the unwise
demagogical agitation of the race
problem by certain politicians, When
politicians appeal to passion and
prejudice, rather than merit and cap
ability, to get into Office, it is high
lime for all honest ministers, as well |
rs all other patriotic citizens, to
come 10 the front and warn the peo-
pie against being hoodwinked BY |
such clap trap as is now being
lished out by the Governor in his
,ain effort to be elected to the Uni
ed States Senate. Rev. J. B. Gam
orell is rendering his country a pa
riotic service, and the people Of
Mississippi will indorse his position
IN the question next Thursday.

GOVERNOR PARDONS
ANGIE BlRDSONG
Takes Bits Between His Teeth and
Ignores Wishes Of lawrence
County People.
The expected has happened.

Gov. vardaman has pardoned the slay
er Of ON Butler.
1t was expected by us because We
knew the long haired Governor was
playing politics. He knew he would lose
Lawrence county by pardoning her, but
he thought that he would gain more
votes in other parts Of the State, where
the facts were not known. This remains
to be seen.
Our committee convinced the Govern
or that we were right, and the substance
Of his reasoning was something like this:
Admitting that she was a base woman,
and that she went out and roped him in
and continued to pursue him land 1t
looked very much that way to him, he
said) yet he If he told it to anybody and
she went and shot him then he would
pardon her, and he would pardon those
kind Of women just as fast as they came
to him.
In other words, he meant that it was
all right for the man in the case to pay
the forfeit of his wrong doing with his
life, but for the women, 1t mattered not
how mean hell made her, she should al
ways 60 free!
Thank God we have only few
months more Of this long longed below
ing wild man from Borneo in the Gov
ernors CHART
We have been told by the newspapers
land our good Christian friend, Bro.
Hobbs, Of The Leader, printed it too
joyfully) that Vardaman got religion at
the Gates meeting, but II the profanity
he used at jackson the other day is
sample then he will have to get it again.
The name Of the Lord was used In vain
several times, and some Of the more
pious members ofour party were greatly
shocked and mortified at his language.
There were about fifteen in the party
that went to jackson, and we presented
petition containing the names Of near
ly 800 Of the best men and women in
Lawrence county. Out of 10l women in
Monticello 85 signed our petition.
We are satisfied with the fight that
has been made, and If the newspapers
will only be kind enough to publish our
address, delivered before the afore men,

be better satisfied.
