The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1910-08-19

EW N NExr. Thursday, August IS, the democratic quahheo
- electors of this district Will go to the polls n Cast
Wn their ballots for a man 10 stand for them, to LOOK at'er
their interest, to handle affairs pertaining tic n wei
fare of this district, at Washington City. Every voter should tn'nk
seriously and cast his ballot for the candidate whom IA c h'"N
would suit best. Let the voter reason this way:
If had an important law suit or a matter ot grave importance
that wanted attended to in San Francisco or on the canal zone' or
-. .L:.L oe 81 the candidates would be likely to
secure?'
Then the W to this question should direct him in casting
his vote for some one to attend to business in Washington city NO
man should cast his vote a a matter OF spite or 10 "ee IL WISHES
of some third party. Every district is entitled 10 nc oeS' 'dcn' 7"
a secure. We would do our wives and children an injustice it we
did not attempt to select the men that would renoer N most e.
fective service in any position. Do bankers select cashiers and
bookkeepers because of what they say, or because OF their ability 10
do? Is it a reasonable exercise of judgment to select a man o a
public duty whom you would not employ to attend 10 your own al
farse These are questions that press themselves upon the a"enu0n
of every voter. The south has played politics ALREADY o ~
We have halloocd ourselves hoarse down south Proclanming
our fidelity to positions taken by Jefferson, or some other oeao states
man of 100 years ago, while the people of other sections were eleet
ing men to represent them at Washington who looked a1ter business
affairs, hence, we are still poor as compared with other sections. Our
people ask for only a square deal and we want men n are aoIe &c
see we get that. For the reasons above outlined the writer expects TO
vote for the denomination OF I. y. Sisson.. p d MACS eooo'
We did not support him before, but we must confess lat nc mas
been active at Washington and has made al impression upon ms
colleagues that few men have in so short a time. When 1t is re-
membcred that there are nearly four hundred members IN IN rover
house of congress, it will be seen how difficult it is tor a new man to
forge to the 'frcnt. However, in the face OF this MI. oisson mas
been able to render special service for his district. he got a bill
through the lower house OF congress for $4,000 poSto"oe ouloi"
for Grenada. The government advertised for sites in this paper, winch
bids were opened July 20. The record shows he got favorable CON
sideration of the bill looking to the cleaning out OF the lalobusha
river. These matters are FACTS, and we "o"o d d
peculiar people, indeed, if county pride did not compel US &c snow
our appreciation of these things by casting our ballots tor o'sson S
denomination.
We have no political ak to grind. We enjoy cordial relations
with all the candidates. However much we may esteem our fiienos
and however much we may desire to render them an amicable SER
vice, we ought to try to know their limitations and reahze" what
duties they r. fitted for.
Reports that come to us from all over the district indicate
that Sisson will carry ever county in the district. |
