OF GLAD TIDINGS

sippi q.
We, the friends and supporters of
Senator E. F. Noel in his candidacy
for governor, in convention assembled
at Jackson, Miss, this July a. 1907,
send out this bulletin of glad tidings.
Beyond shadow of doubt Senator
E. F. Noel will not only be in the
second primary, but in the first pri :
mary he will lead the ticket by an i'm
mense plurality. We have carefully
canvassed the field We have before
us reports from every county in the
state. We know whereof we speak
We have discarded every doubtful or
uncertain report favorable to Senator
Noel. Then gathering the results we
find that he will lead in forty four
counties will come second in eleven,
and that he will have large scatter
ing vote in the remainder
His record as constructive states
man, ''doer' and not an empty
bubble of words, has dawned on and
is now firmly fixed in the minds OF
the voters of Mississippi. They know
that had it not been for him there
would now be no primary election 60
ing on, no right to vote. They know
that his life personally and politically
has ever been pure and stainless. that
he has ever stood for humanity, NOR
ality, justice and progress. They
know that he trusts the people of Mis-
sissippi as capable to direct the affairs
of the state, not by words merely but
by deeds, by giving them the power
by ballot in primary election to do so il
deed and not in theory.
The victory is ours-we have but Il
grasp it. So much for the first prima
ry.
Now as to the second primary. W,

In making my canvass / have tried

added to them sufficient number to
give me the place sought, and one
that will very materially help me in

through this medium is not unusual
or extraordinary, inasmuch as it has
become custom not only in the coun-
ty but throughout tine state; many,
many worthy aspirants for the highest

gone before the people four years later

paign.
Senator Noel has never intimatd any
such statement. One of his competi
tors being misinformed asserted this
fact, and being corrected withdrew
the assertion publicly; and yet some
are still spreading tbs canard, drown
ing men grasping at straws..
Now in conclusion do not be fooled
in the closing day of the campaign.

in giving me your votes.

fellow citizens, it will be the best pay

vorite in the first primary. If by com
mon consent all first choices save as
to any one of his opponents were eli
minated, Senator Noel would get rs
per cent of the votes cast for governor
So it will be in the second primary.
He has made war on no one. He has
the good will of all.
1t is a certainty that Senator Noel
will lead in the first primary.
We firmly believe that he will surely
win in the second
We wish to explode two campaign
canards and then we close.
1t is being industrItusly claimed
that Senator Noel favors a board of
equalization of taxes which will re-
quire all the people to go to Jackson
to be taxed or to explain their tax lists
as given in. There is just truth en-
ough in this to make it a first class lie.
Senator Noel does favor some le-
gislation along equitable and conserva-
tive lines by which each county will
give in its land and property at its
true value and not as is now the case,
wherein some of the richest counties
in the state, the land is assessed at an
average off 1.98 per acre, and in the
poor counties at over $12 per acre.
But he does not favor any law re-
quiring people to go anywhere to give
in or explain their assessments But
these assessments when made, will, ii
necessary, be equalized by the supervl-
sors of the several counties and no ci-
tizen will suffer any inconvenience by
being required to leave his own coun.
ty to have his taxes adjusted.
Another farce of a canard is the
statement thatSenator Noel is satisfied
with the present method of distribut'
ing the school funds II is strange
that anyone would assert SO blatant a
falsehood which is contradicted moi
only by Senator Noel's platform giver
out by him at the beginning of the
campaign. but also by every speech II
which he has touched on the question
