E. 7. Bush, IT,, For Representative.

Editor Beacon:
The tfu1e A@about here when we are
to be casting about for suitable mate
rial to represent Noxubee county in the
Low err House of the nett Legislature.
In thinking of the possible candidates
for this position and it occurs to me
that we ought to induce E. II, Bush,
r., the brilliant young attorney at the
Macon Bar to make the race. We
have no other idea but what he can be
elected if induced to enter the contest
This voting man has been known long
and pleasantly by the people of Noxu-
bee, he is honest, straightforward, capa-
ole and Industrious, If elected to the
lower house of the Legislature, he will
make US all proud Of his record. He
will maintain every position that takes
either on the floor of the House or in
the committee rooms
1t is we'll for the public to know that
two or three Of the avowed candidates
for governor are intimating.. in some
sections of the State that they favor
cutting down our representation in the
House and Senate and giving it to coun-
ties in South Mississippi If this is the
case, let US send good strong men to
the legislature, men who can hold their
own with the foremost men of the State
on any kind Of question. Tom Bush
is that kind Of young man and his
friends want him to run.
