and shall discuss them face 10 face
With the voters ~ the state.

"Mississippians have never shown
Any fondness for political bosses, and
| do not think they need one now to
do their thinking or voting for them.
1 have not attempted to influence any
persons vote for Office except that Of
governor, and during the approaching
campaign 1t Il MY purpose and desire
to be entirely neutral between the
candidates for the various offices
other than governor. This may be
taken as final, and all reports which
have been or may be circulated TO the
contrary are and will be unwarranted
. and without authority.
"In conclusion, l want to say, with
grateful appreciation to the thousands
who have given me their confidence
3 and assurance OF support, that l am
morally certain | will be nominated
and, believe, without opposition.
n do 1ot think my nomination has been
NJ 10 doubt for the past year, and IL the
III census OF public opinion throughout
III the state is any criterion IL is not SC
III now.
III ut is suggested that a candidate
III against me is being sought for special
III purposes or reasons, but not one ha
III appeared to make the contest. And II
III the light OF all the facts doubt II az,
III can be found willing to serve the end
Iii OF those who may be behind such
III movement. But whatever course tn
lI campaign for governor may take,
III shall be true to the principles To-
I'LL which stand, and do not doubt tina
N they will triumph and that ] shall b
III overwhelmingly, II not unanimously
III nominated and elected.
iii EARL BREWER"
- AS long as Hon. Charles Scott al
10 peared to be a probable candidate TIL
n. DEMoCRAT-STAR considered itself q
a the Scott fold and would have support
10 ed him In bis campaign. Since hi
no withdrawal from the race, however,
ZEE Is meet that the favorite sons OF th
nd state he given every consideration 8
r. to their claims for preferment, an
this paper has not allied itself wit
any one. Mr. Brewer Is not objection
able, 1t Is believed, to a very larp
I'LL following 10 the state, and his d,
ne meanor aud bearing during the sen;
ol' torial caucus will prove one OF IL
strongest claims he can pOssess Il
v. favorable consideration from tt
=" mass of VOTERS. He is splendid
rs equipped In every way for making
)ll successful governor, and from til
~ present indications 1t appears that i
nv will have comparatively easy sailin
on for the nomination, although he ma
not be permitted to walk of with til
us prize without contest.
