WILLIAM VERcINGEToRIx MOORE Of Yalo-
busha county has been printed in THE
SUN and all Of IL il worth reading and
repondering. Some "planks" thereof
may be still unknown in the North. For
example:
or some one Just as good"
Mr.. MOORE is, perhaps, the only distin-
gui shed Dem ,crat to praise Mr.. BRYAN's
imported Swiss fancy stock:
Il am opposed to the reelection OF ROOSEVELT
for the third term, unless the Initiative and refer
endum be called in. as. however, there seems to he
q movement on foot In this direction Just now. II
is quite likely that this great question will he set
tied directly by tho American people without the
consent OF any other nation"
Is not MOORE of Yalobusha ust as good
as Mr.. BRYAN? Is he not ven better
The Mississippian's attitude toward cor
porations is notably saner than the
Nebraskan's:
My position In reference to the great railroads
and similar corporations Is simply this: I believe

Where in all Mr.. BRYAN's painfully
gathered collection of issues, paramount,
not so paramount, pretty paramount,
subordinate, negligible and dead, is there
a burst of benefcent ideas like these:

higher prices for all We have to sell"
Here is a moral and an economic
grandeur and simplicity scarcely to be
found elsewhere. Mr.. MOORE is thor
oughly a voice Of the people. Shall
WILLIAMS or VARDAMAN be Senator?
II Is all the same TO MOORE Of Yalobusha,
who will vote the choice of his conetitu-
.ency." Likewise as to a candidate for
Governor. MOORE will let the people,
that is, the Democratic people, name the
candidate. Mr.. BRYAN will let them
pick out the issues for him but insists
upon picking out the candidate himself
out of a list of one. Isn't MOORE the
better Democrat?
See how jovislly MOORE Of Yalobusha
paints the situation in his home:
wife Is now n home. our spring cleaning 10
not over. We have washing done when we esn get
II. Our cook milks when the COW comes from the
pasture. and the COW does not come regularly with
out driving. Since the rain the vegetables In the
garden are xrowing-so is the grass. Our stove
wood Is getting scarce: every one Is so busy no
one brings any 20 town, Our hired boy broke
his leg last week and the doctors say he cannot
work any more for three months. Our merchant
tells me that nour is worth 81 a barrel for cash and
mono at all for sale on q credit. Other things are
| corrospondingly high on similar terms. My stock
Of cash Is small. hear that there will he a good
many plcnics this summer, Under these circum-
stances my friends have urged me TO become a
candidate this time. and cannot ind II in my heart
70 resist their opportunities.
