sippi, though as rule our banks are
conceded to be in the hands of good
men and honestly conducted.
Coming back to the question Of
railroads.&c. us not forget that these good
or bad old times when our Southern
railroads were owned largely and
generally differed by Southern men,
we'll known to the people, who were
usually anxious to avoid any friction,
and sought to meet their patrons on a
plane of open accounting, have prac-
tically passed away. Recent conso-
lidations and merging Of the railroads
of the entire country have largely eli
minated any personal contact with the
management Of the great systems which
do the business we must have done.
This change necessitates more
rigid laws and faithful officers who
understand the situation, to guard the
public interests, if abuses would be
avoided.
MIR. Brewer was one OF the hrSt to
grasp this changed condition, and as
Governor Of this great state, the people
need have no fear Of his loyalty in re-
gard to the faithful discharge Of his
duties. While he does not legitimately
merit the antagonism the railroads are
INDUCING toward him. if they ask for
nothing more than fair treatment, he
will ever be found ready to defend the
people against any attempt to treat
them unfairly.

Let it be rendered that Earl Brewe

Let it be rendered that Earl Brewer
the farmer lad candidate for Cover
nor Of Mississippi, only entered the
campaign few months ago. In the
short time he was able only to meet a
small part of the people and address
them, yet he passed all his competi-
tors but one, who has been running
over eight years, and naturally ought
to have been elected in the first pri-
mary this time, if the people had treat
ed his candidacy as serious at all.
Next Tuesday Mr.. Brewer will demon
strate beyond all doubt that he is com
posed Of the sort Of material which
enables him to make faster race in
six months than his competitor has
been able to score in eight years.

\ gSs Brewer as Govern
~ or Of Mississippi
LlA. means the inaugural
4sssss,eE ~, ton Of an entire
}ts III, ~. =. w new plane for poll
"> - tics in the state. 1t
means the elevation of the plan Of
campaign, from long abused, mud
singing basis to place so high and
dignihed as to promise for all future
time that any thought of returning to the
disreputable tactics, will mean the utter
humiliation of the violator. 1t means
also that men called to positions Of
public trust can find acceptance at the
hands Of the people only by appealing
to their reason and by standing for
something contemplated as their duty
as officials.
The contemplate attempt in the first
primary to belittle the aspirations Of
Mr.. Brewer because he, in childhood,
had picked cotton on the plantations Of
one of his competitors, to darn sup
port for a widowed mother, was an
indignity that was hurled back in the
face Of him who sought to use it,
with all the contempt with which a
sensible people were capable of
INDUCING. and in answer to all the
other calumnies clandestinely sought
to be thrown in the pathway Of this Wig
orous, honorable gentleman, the people
answered with royal disclaimer in the
shape of their vote for his selection as
the standard bearer.
Of course, smarting under the pangs
Of defeat, and maddened by the hum
bling Of his pride by the rebuke at the
hands of the voters, this same van
pushed foe is following and will fol-
low, with his vituperation and abuse,
the gallant leader Of the masses, prob
ably until he has been landed in the
Executive Mansion at jackson. But
the wines of whipped child are al
ways more pitiful than eHectual, and
so far as staying the onward march
of this champion Of the people, these
walls take on, more than anything else,
the position Of the dog in a manager
barking through the cracks Of a barn
door at the moon riding high in the
heavens.
Perhaps in some localities, maybe
in your own, there will here and there
be found some mercenary old muck
raker, who is SO vile and corrupt that
his heart pumps matter instead OF
blood, who will glide up to you and
whisper into your ear, conhdentially,
some vile SANDER about Mr.. Brewer,
which he would not dare reduce to
writing and sign his name. but the
hour for such tactics to bear fruit have
passed with intelligent Mississippians.
Every cowardly charge that has
been made against this cleap cut, hon
orable young Mississippi product Of
manhood in this campaign, has either
been disproved or traced to an author
ship sovile and disreputable as TO make
any honest man blush with shame to
repeat it.
Earl Brewer stands before the peo-
pie Of his native state in all the splen-
dor of his young manhood, the ideal
type Of men Of his age and the pride
of his seniors, all rejoicing to see the
young men coming forward to take the
places which must be passed UP to
them. The affections Of the people
for him throughout the state are so
pronounced and so enthusiastically ex-
pressed, that the most diplomatic thing
his webbing competitor could do
would be to move to make his nom

he began running for governor so many
years ago, and take a much needed
rest Of his well worn aged body.
The people love Brewer now they
have made his acquaintance, because
he stands for something, promises to
do something, and because he carries
on his face the stamp and countcnance
of that noblest type Of Gods handiwork,
an Honest Man. He would not accept
the Office as free offering If he we're
required to take it with any restrictions
which placed him under the least OBJ
legation to any clique. clan, faction or
combination which could hope to have
him prostitute his exalted position in
the interest Of any personal gain. He
offers to serve as the chief executive
Of the state for four years in the hope
that he may be able to inaugurate the
healthful change which will mean
higher conception of the state honor,
and the elevation Of the peoples con-
hdence in public service. He is the
candidate Of the masses and de6es the
tools Of the classes seeking special
lavors to defeat him for the place.
AS stated in the beginning, his
election will mean higher order Of
things in Mississippi 1t will mean
that no department Of state can. be
diverted from its legitimate functions
under his watchful eye without the
most vigorous protest from him. 1t
will mean the states business must be
conducted on straightforward, legit-
innate basis in the direct interest of
every one Of its citizens, with equal
and exact justice to all and with spe-
cial favors to none. 1t will mean that
there will be stationed at the Gov
ernors Mansion "a young man in the
fullest possession of all his faculties,
equipped with a knowledge OF his
state and its people second to no
other living being, who will be an
honor to his station and an impartial
executive in the consideration of all
matters pertaining to the states affairs.
Every young man in the state will
be proud of his Governor, every
gentleman along in years will respect
him, and all the people will feel as
sured Of his ardent devotion to their
business placed in his keeping.
With such Governor no man at
home or in any other part Of the ma
ton will be able to find premise for
the state or its administra-
ton.
With such Governor MISSISSIPPI
plans everywhere will be able TO point
with pride to the young executive
whose clean lie, broad mind. schol-
larly attainmonls and love Of his state
and its peopie, signals him as the
most attractive ideal in the land after
whom young men can have no fear or
hesitancy in pattering.
With such Governor Mississippi
viii take its place along side any state
in the sisterhood, because Of the Wis
dom evidenced in his selection as its
spokesman and director
