tics scarcely parallcled. Few men in the history of
aazsEsTsS our country have ever attained the position he has at
his age. He is yet a young man. Poverty, and the cares of a widow
ed mother and younger brothers and sisters, denied him much of
the privileges and opportunities of attending school in his youth.
But even then he displayed that good common sense, heroic deter
mination and discretion of Judgment that have marked him as a
man. AS a lawyer he ranks among the best. AS a citizen he has ever
been on the side of law and order and has been a strong factor for
good and for the highest development of any community in which
he has resided. He hl: tied his friends to him with hooks of steel.
They trust him implicitly and there is an unfaltering devotion
among them to him. This is true because they know that he gives
the same to them that they lavish upon him-fdelhy. They know
that there is never any doubt about Brewers attitude when they are
Interested. What is life without friendships, and the mar that justly
appreciates the beauty and golden chord that binds one man TO
another. meets II of the great heavenly requirements. Such is
Earl Brewer. There is no arrogance about him and his ears are ev-
er open to the counsel of bis friends. With his family he is tender,
loving, true and indugent.
AS a public man, he is bold, fearless and aggressive. This is
but natural for he goes forth clad in the armor of truth and right. He
knows his cause is just and he is undaunted before any adversary.
lis rise IN the politics of the state is phenomenal. The race he made
four years ago for Governor was more than remarkable. He led
Judge Truly in the first primary, a man of great worth, and one who
had especially distinguished himself on the Supreme Bench of the
State He led Hon. Chas. Scott, a great lawyer, the largest cotton
plant in the world, a Confederate soldier and a man who had long
been prominent in state affairs He led Nj. Thomas of Washington
county cxSpeakcr of the House of Representatives and x-Grand
Master OF he Masonic Lodge of Kiss. He led Hon. 7. U. Sisson,
a man of prominence and with strong family connections and anoth-
err ex-Grand Master OF the Masonic Lodge of Mississippi. He gave
Noel a neck and neck race in the last primary and it will be remen,-
bered that Noel had previously canvassed Mississippi for Governor,
and had been before the public eye for many years, but it took ev-
cry possible combination fo- him to defeat Brewer. Brewer entered
that contest largely unknown IS a political factor: he came ont

He accepted his defeat in the last election as a good Democrat
and pleds:d his successful opponent his cooperation in working out
the complex problems that btset an executive.
His marvellous race before naturally directed the eyes of the
people to him as the next Governor. Since then Brewer has con.
tinued to grow in public esteem until now the idea is almost fixed in
the minds of the voters of the state that he shall be made Gov.
Nocls successor. Hence, there is but little wonder that certain
politcians-and they ae a small crowd-in the state have been I'M
able to persuade anybody to make the race against him.
Brewer is not counting opposition, but he is ready and will go
upon the stump with any mar and discuss the issues face to face
and will proclaim the doctrines of true Democracy and those things
best for the welfare of the masses.
Brewer is a constructive man. He is a builder and he rests in
the satisfaction, notwithstanding his defeat before, of having seen a
number of things prominently presented to the people by him, Sc
riously discussed by the law-making body and some Of them enact
ed into law.
Mr. Brewer appreciates most highly the proHers Of support
from many thousands that opposed him before and his old friends
unreservedly assure them that they are wisely bestowng their con-
hdence and esteem.
Without regard to political allgnments in the last canvass, it
is the commonly accepted sentiment in all parts of the state that
Earl Brewer is MisIssippis next Governor.
