EARL BREWER A LEADER

While Mississippiis in the throes
of a political contest, the in
-tensity and fierceness of which
has not been equalled since the
reconstruction days, and while
the campaign for United States
senator is being waged between
the governor of this great State
and the democratic leader of the
house of congress upon race
issue, it might not be amiss for
the readers OF The Sentinel to ex-
anime with us, impartially and
~dispassionately, some of the char
zacteristics or the man whom we
are supporting for governor Of
Mississippi. and we are proud in
deed to say to our readers that
we can speak of our candidate in
"a spirit of lauGation and praise,
without finding 1t necessary to
cast any slurs or hurl any stone,

many ladies being present. He spoke
for nearly two hours and the enthusl-
asm he aroused and the cheering he
received was something extraordi-
nary.
1t is not so much what Mr.. Brewer
says as the way he says 1.-THE elo-
quent and forceful manner OF his de-
livery and the magnetism he exerts
over his audience. There are things
in his speeches that please the great
mass OF the people, for he does not
mince words in dealing with corpora
tions, individuals or newspapers that
he believes are opposing him.
His address was very similar to I'll e
one delivered here some months age,
except he has his subjects better in
hand and speaks with the grace ard
ease Of trained orator.
He was given magnificent intro
duction by Judge Powell, who predict
ed that he would lead the ticket in
the first primary by 5000, and he
triumphantly elected in the second
election" which statement was re.
ceived with such loud applause that
the judge was forced to suspend till
the enthusiasm had spent itself.
The aud ience was unquestionably a
Brewer audience, there being many
visitors here from a distance VINO hao

and study the man.
Born in the hills of our sister
county, Carroll, "far from the mad
denlng crowds of ignoble strife"
the gentle life .and merry -.pple
of laughter of sunny childhood
was soon displaced for Earl
Brewer at the early age of ten
years by the death of his father,
bringing him face to face with
the battle of life and the struggle
for existence. Left an orphan
with a load of debt, this boy
bravely met the issue which con-
fronted him in his tender years,
fought the battle and won the
victory, and while those who
were his compeers and are now
his competitors. were permitted
the advantages of collegiate edu-
cation and the polish of cultured
society, his boyhood days were
spent in the noble performance
of duty. But think not that while
he was.being denied these advan-
tages 4at his ambition ever rest
less, ever laadable, was not urg-
ing him on to higher goal and
that in the quiet solitude of his
country home whether in the
fields, or in the woods, or in the
quiet hours of night, he saw be-
fore him, brighter and better
days. Having spent his child
hood, youth and young manhood,
caring for those who were depend

had denied himself, he conserved

His office furniture and books
consisted of a Mississippi Code,
his mothers we'll worn bible, a
pine board table and three split
bottom chairs. Three years later
the people of this county became
with him as a candi-
date for State Senator in the 2Sth
District, in which ambition, he
was opposed by three college
bredpoliticians, and it is but re-
peating an oft told tale when we
chronicle as the result Of this
combat-Earl Brewer had been
elected to the State Senate in the
first primary, getting more votes
than all three of his opponents
combined, one hundred and fif-
teen votes to spare. In the SEN
ate, he at once took rank with the
leading men of that body and the
record discloses singularly
striking devotion to those people
from whose ranks he came. Not
a flaw can be found in his recol d
as state senator, especially fro m
the standpoint of the "mar with
the plow." In his professional
life as a lawyer, he has met and
confounded the most skille d
practitioners that the monies OF
the railroads could hire, whether
before the jury or in the supreme
court, his success has been mar
velous. AS district attorney, he
became the foe of vice and crime.
