The Clam CLaurIn.

lin Nlutt
During the gubernatorlal campaign
one candidate had a great deal to say
about the Clan McLaurin" and this
candidate went down in defeat.
The other candidates, including
Mr.. Noel, said nothing about the Nc
Iaurins, realizing that Senator Nc
Iauuin and his brothers had the right
10 vote for whom they chose.
When one of the defeated candi-
dates tried to throw his strength to
Ny. Noel in the hope of defeating NJ.
Brewer, he also carried with him in
that camp his charge about the clan
McLaurin" and the effort was made
TO make it appear that Mr.. Brewer
was Senator McLauriE's candidate
for Governor.
Senator McLaurin cid not support
Mr.. Brewer in the first primary, but
voted for him we understand in the
SecOnG. Mr.. Brewer was not his can
aidate and no attempt Was made by
She Senator to. make him his cand.-
date
NJ. Brewer fought his own battle,
stood on his Owl merits as a man;
went before the people and would
have won, had it not been for the
RurrilouS and malicious SANDERS that
were circulated Immediately before
the second primary.
The people of Mississippi are getting
sired of this rant about the "Clan-MC-
Laurin.' No a can now offer for
public office unless. in the Judgment of
the Vicksburg Herald and other biased
paFtiSanS, he wears the collar Of Sen
atOr McLaurin.
Even the Speakership Of the House
IS threatened with The Clan" Sc
says the Herald.
Who is the Clan candidate?
What warrant hasit for saying that
Senator McLaurin is trying to make
0na-of his friends speaker:
An6f is it a crime that Senator Nc
Laurin. a man who has been the Gov
ernor Of Mississippi: elected unani-
mously. and twice United States Sen
and now filling that position to
The credit of Mississippi in that body,
to have 6 preference for any OF the
For Speaker:
1t may be a crime in the opinion of
yhe people of Mississippi.
Aud speaking of CLANS" Where in
II toe state is there a bigger, self,
eeslng, of1ice-grabbing, dyed-in-the-
sooI clan than the "Clan-Herald?"
Pais Clan is about the biggest Of
ice holding trust ever organized in a
rec state. 1t lives and breatheS on
iii e, on special interest privileges, on
uSs, feathers, and patronage. 1t is
o its interest to cry "Clan-McLaurin"
use that detractS attention from
tGlan-Herald."
Clan Herald" remUrSeleSS office
Office grabbing trust as it is, :

big thing and secretly exult in the (

For instance. there is "ClaL-L0w-

reaching for office. |
But this is aside from the question.
