It Looks Like Wall for District At
tOrney.

1t looks like Webb's friends are
scared when they resort to per-
sonal attacks on a gentleman who
has conducted a campaign on as
high plain as Hon. Fl. ". Wall
has. A personal attack that is
made on him both in circular
and also an article In the newspa-
pers, signed By a committee, is an
admission on the part of Webb's
friends that they must resort to
personalities and mud singing to
defeat Wall Every one that
knows Hon. Fl. V. Wall and who
has heard him speak throughout
this campaign, knows that he has
conducted himself on such a high
plane that personalities would die,
should they try to enter into it,
and as voter and a citizen of
Pike county, | sincerely hope that
the people will not be Inred away
by the personal abuse III the above
mentioned article, but will, on the
22nd day of August, go to the
polls and register their will in fa-
vor cf Ii. V. Wall, for District
Attorney, when we all know him
to be a moral, Christian and up
right gentleman. And / want to
say further, that the reference
that he is run by the politicians in
the District is direct slap in the
face to the 4 400 citizens who SO
Loyalty supported him on the first
day of August.
The reference in the slanderous
article referred to against the
Hon. I'll. V. Wall that he is the
weakest lawyer in the 9th Judicial
District is in direct conflict with a
statement made by the Hon. j. B.
Webb, at Sweet Water, Miss. in
a public speech, in which Mr..
Webb said that he considered
Hon. Fl. V. Wall one of the best
lawyers in the 9Th Judicial Dis
trict, yet, the Red Sheet Com
mittee denounces IA. V. Wall as
being one of the weakest lawyers.
Why resort to this unfair play?
Why try to slander an ambitious,
self-made man?
You cannot defeat such a man
as II. V. Wall by such slanderous
reports. All of us who know him,
know that he is considered among
the best lawyers in this district.
All Slanderous committee, you
cannot pull the wool over the peo-
| ple's eyes who know I'll. ". Wall as
we do.
Hoping the people of this Dis
trict will place their stamp of con-
demnation upon this kind of dirty
politics and give Hugh V. Wall an
over Whelming majority on the
22nd day of August, am,

THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE
WILKINSON URGED.

The present term of Judge NJ.
H. Wilkinson of this, the Sixth
judicial District, expires on the
22nd inst. Judge Wilkinson is
an applicant for reappointment
for another four-year term, and
Hon. Ernest Brown, of Natchez,
aud Hon. E. j. Simmons, of Mag
nolia, are also applicants. Peti-
tions signed by members of the
bar and others will be presented
to the Governor in favor of each.
While much may be justly said
in favor of Messrs. Brown and
Simmons, The Leader is decided
ly of the opinion that the public
interests would be best subserVed
by the reappointment of the pres
ent able, faithful and fearless
j Judge of this district. During
the four years term now drawing
to a close. Judge Wilkinson has
demonstrated that he possesses in
an eminent degree all of the es-
sential qualifications needed in
Circuit Judge. He is just and i'm
partial IN his rulings, firm and
courageous, yet mercifui in the
administration of Justice, COM
manding alike the confidence of
ali good citizens and the respect
and fear of the Iawless. He has
made record of which any jurist
might we'll feel proud. Coming
on the bench when organized law
lessness was rampant in three
counties of his district, by his
firm, wise and courageous course,
perfect order has been restored,
respect for legal authority every
where secured and today, so far
as law enforcement is concerned,
his district will compare favor
ably with the very best in the
State.
Gov. Vardaman, who has been
exceedingly careful and painstak
ing in making appointments to
the judiciary, will hardly overlook
these potent facts when he comes
to name Judge Wilkinson's success
sor.
