the ia.t FIVE years there has been a
persistent effort to cut down South
ern representation from the South
in congress- We poll bigger votes
in primaries than we do in general
election.
The Republicans do not consid
the fact that a nomination is equal
to an election in the Sontb, and
when there is a light vote they
charge that votes are suppressed
and that if the Southern Democrats
will pot stop suppressing votes
their representation should be cut
down to the actual number of votes
cast.
The future and the hope of the
Democracy is in the south.
The salvation of the Southern
people is in the Democratic party.
It is the duty of every Southern
white Democratic to cast his vote
in the November election. No mat
ter If your congressman has no op-
position, every Democrat should
vote for him and Bryan.
The Commercial Appeal suggests
TO every Democratic paper in the
South that it begin campaign to
get the vote out. We hope our
weekly contemporaries will take up
this fight. Our Democratic nomi-
nee for congress saould max e
speeches III every county in their
district. they should push their
campaign just as hard as If they
were IN danger OF being beat.
Every white man in Mississippi
should vote and every white man in

THE LAH'LESS ELEMENT

In every community there are,
perhaps, a few people who are
anarchists, and whose supreme
delight is to violate the law
whenever the opportunity is af-
forded. where the chances OF de-
lection are few. Such people,
nine times out of ten. are idle,
unreliable in their business trans
actions with their fello w-men,
and are gadding about from
place TO place, when their indus
trious and lava biding neigh
bors are at work. THE idle
brain is the Devils whrkshop, +"
and these loaiers are ever on the
lookout to discover some ap-
parent excuse to put into execu-
ton their nefarious aud unprin-
eipled schemes They are al
WAYS loudest to inveigh against
law and discipline. and are at
all times ready and willing TO
do their part TO clog the wheels
of Justice and bring reproach
and contumely upon the com
munity They are thought
less. an ignorant class, and as
such are a menace and peril to
the country.
Is there a remedy for the evil
we have been writing about:
We think there is. First, let
speedy and severe punishment
follow. in every case, where
the law is violated and the of
fender has been apprehended,
and, secondly. let these mischief
makers understand that they
are without sympathizers in the
community in which they live,
and that all good people will as
