HON. FRANK II. LEWIS
Specially Fitted TO Represent the
sixth District in Congress.

Illustration Of this is now apparent
In the government service. a man
Of ordinary ability trained in a certain
line Of work generally makes good,
providing he has the energy and the
perseverance. Training has more
to do with success than most people
realize. The lawyer is usually looked
upon as a versatile individual capable
Of making good at anything he under
takes. This is a mistaken idea
Emitting hot air and getting down to
practical work are two distinct and
different things. To advise as to
how a thing should be done and to
it are not the same. Some folks are
taken in with long orations, spirited
gestures and loud, and deep tones.
It tickles the ear and,makes them feel
good. They never think of asking
themselves what did they get besides
the noise. This does not mean that
the orator does not fill a gap in the
system that would be missed 1t only
means that the big talker is not neces-
sarily a deep thinker .or a man
Of action.
In sending a man to congress of the
United State from this district what
we specially require is a man who
can do what Mr.. Bowers has done.
We want a representative to supplant
him. Bowers made no big speeches
in congress, although he is endowed
with considerable oratorical powers.
This however, be subordinated to a
line Of work that carried results. He
was a 'doer." He accomplished more
for his district than his greatest ad- |
mirers thought it possible for him to
do. He pledged himself to work for
the people of the sixth district and
he did 1t. He will be remembered as
one of the most effective workers
that the south ever sent to congress. |
His work was done in the committee |
rooms in a plain business way with |
men of business sagacity. There was
no necessity for long wiuded speeches.
This would have crippled his useful
ness. Bowers is a man of sound sense
and his work in congress shows it
better than anything else he has
ever done. ,,.-.,-,.,.-,,.,,

We repeat that we need man to
ollow in his footsteps. We want a {
nan to take up the work where he
eft of and continue it along the lines
lie laid out. If you were to make a
,ersonal canvass of the district, APP $
,oint board of competent judges
md let them select the most capable !
nan for the work, we have no doubt
hat Hon. f. II. Lewis would be un- ,
selected.
He Especially fitted for the work
ust like an engineer is to run an
ugine or artist to paint picture.
lie has the required talent as a
oundation and has been trained for
his line of work. You will be told
hat he is no orator, but place this i
o his credit, make it one of his assets.
instead o. opera ing aga 1st him it
viii prove to his benefit, for instead
# spending his time in writing
peeches for the Congressional Record
hat would be read for the first time
,uly by few people in this district,
lie will devote his attention to the
leeds of his constituents.
He is fully conyersant with the
iuties of congressman, always in
.eresting himself in matters before
Pertaining to this section.
de has on several occasions gone be-
fore the rivers and harbors committee
aud presented data which he complied
himself and on which appropriations
were secured. He is thoroughly
familiar with the needs ofthe district
and would work industriously to get
everything that it is entitled to.
He has done splendid work in ad-
vertisiug the products of the. soil at
the state fair in jackson carrying
away more prizes than any other in
dividual and this county, through
his efforts, has been called the banner
county of the state. The farmers
would have a friend in him that would
understand their needs and who would
work zealously for their interests.
Without wishing to reflect on the
ability or good intentions of his op-
ponents, we believe that Mr.. Lewis |
is the best equipped man in the dis
trict to represent it in congress.
1t has always been our contention
that a successful business man is
what we need to represent us as the
task of administering the affairs of
our government is strictly a business
one that requires good sound judg-
ment Mr.. Lewis has this. His
twenty years experience as sheaif
and clerk of courts gives him all the
