ton Law, every Democrat qualified to
vote, bank president or day laborer, gov.
ernor or wood chopper, has the right to
be heard in the selection of nominees

, est counts as much as the vote of the

claim to the men in the ranks; because

morously remarks "The ruralite, with
in the confines of the modern election
booth, where no political boss can wave
the lash, is something akin to the pro-
verbal Collins ram--he has head of
his own and butts where he durn
pleases." And the Collins Commercial
gives voice TO the sentiment of every
man who appreciates the right of ef-
fectiye suffrage in the following: His
lNoePs) primary election law, by means
of which every elector has a voice in
the election of his officials, entities his
name to lasting place in Mississippi
history"
This is one of the things that Sem
ator Noel has done for the people. We
do not claim that he is a prince of hand
shakers; nor that he is great orator.
But we do assert that he is a man with
a clear head, stout of heart, noble in
purpose, persistent and courageous; and
best of all, he has proved his desire to
be of service to the people by having
already done good and lasting service.
Have we not yet been gulled enough by

To the Mississippi Voter:
The Holmes County Noel Campaign
Club requests your attention to the
newspaper paragraphs and comments con-
tanned in this paper. Here are some of
the expressions of the weekly press
touching the candidacy of E. F. Noel
for the high office of governor. That
many of these extracts are from parti-
san pens, from men who are warm sup
porters of Noel, is true, but we believe
every word of praise is just, and mer-
tied; that Noel is the best man in the
race, race in which all are good.
We are in deep earnest about his can
didacy, and we appeal to you to sup
port him. We base our appeal on his
past services to the state, some of which
are discussed in these columns. Is it
not result of his efforts that your voice
is as strong as any mans in choosing
the chief executive and the states Off
GERS? Do you remember how these off.
GERS were chosen before the enactment
of the Noel Primary Election Lawf DO
you not know that the county politicians
generally held county convention, in
which you had but little part, and Sc
lected delegates to the state convsn-
ton; and that the state convention in
which you had no part at all, made the
nominations? And yet, although you
took little or no stock in either conven-
ton, this was the vital and all import
ant step in the election scheme. Why :
Because the nominee was always elected,
as matter of course, there being but
one party in this state; and you, loyal
to the party, always supported the nom
inee. Probably you had never seen him
or heard of him until after he was NOM
mated, but you supported him. To NOM
mate was to elect. The nomination was
what the candidate sought. The gen.
eral election took care of itself.
And how was the choice of the people
for the nominee determined in the con-
ventionf In far too many instances by
wire pulling, by breaches of good faith,
by political trading, and swapping and
triekery, by rings and grafters and com
binations, and by every sort of political
cheating and questionable political prac-
tees; often by running in dark horse.
This. too, where the nomination was the
essential thing, for as was said above,
there being but one party, the nominee,
whether chosen by primary election or
convention, is sure of election in the gen
eral election.
The nomination, therefore, being the
thing of primest importance in the cleo
tiOn scheme in our state and you and
thousands of voters in Mississippi hav-

Equal Rates of Assessment.
The state should live within it's in
come. All taxable property within its
borders should bear its proportionate
burden. Only such taxes should be col
lected as are absolutely required for hon
est, economical and efficient public serv-
ice; and the people should receive full
value for the expenditure of every dol
lar, Under our defective assessment
laws wholly different rates of assessment
prevail in different counties, rendering
the state levy twice as burdensome in
some counties as in others. A system
can, and ought to be instituted, which
will gradually relieve land and person
atty from all I'D valorem taxes other

questions which will confront the next

questions l will discuss when the can.
vass opens. Discussion of matters about
which all are agreed would be mere
word-play.
Elective Judiciary Again.
Our government should be brought
nearer the people, with whom it should
be kept in living touch, by making all
members of each department directly re-
sponsible to those whom they serve.
With us, the whites exercise all political
power; tax-delinquents, illiterates, GRIM
inals and negroes being excluded, giving
control of our state to the highest class
of electorate. Suffrage, when applied to
judges, neither requires more, nor less,
sense or virtue, than when applied to
other officials. The centralizing ten
dency of taking the choice of officers
away from those whose interests are
most vitality affected 10 undemocratic,
fostering rings and factions which seek,
for the purposes of graft, to dominate
the ction of officers controlling i'm
porta patronage. Judges and levee
comr ssioners should be made elective,
and he patronage of the chief execu-
tive reduced to the smallest practicable
limit.
Equitable Distribution of School Funds.
Self governing people should do their
own thinking and choose representatives
to carry out their own ideas. A govern
ment should embody and reflect the hon.
esty, patriotism and intelligence of Its
citizenship. Education, therefore, is es-
sential to intelligent exercise of suf-
frage, as well as to spiritual and indus
trial development. An efficient system
of public free schools and colleges is a
prime necessity. Management of these
institutions should be 30 altered as to
minimize political influences.
Three-fourths of our states funds 90
to education. Upon the white children
the burdens and responsibilities of our
state win soon be devolved. Preparation
for that task il of vital concern. Elk
listing methods of distributing school
funds give some counties more than they
can well use, and to Others hardly o
meager salary for the shortest term. A
method, fairly equitable for its results
to all white children, can and should be
provided. That our children may re-
ceiye the benefit of the most advanced
methods of instruction, the greatest re.
