MIR. Alexander.

Mr.. G. II. Alexander, who is
trying to make the people OF
Mississippi believe that he is a
candidate for United Senator,
vociferously declares in all OF
his speeches that he has never
been a corporation lawyer.
He has forgotten, perhaps,
that he was retained by the
Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany to find a loophole by
which that grasping monopoly
sought to evade the payment Of
back taxes to the amount of
something more than a million
dollars, due the State of Missis-
sippi.
He has likewise overlooked
the fact that the firm of Alex.
ander & Alexander recently
carried a card in the Bankers
Guide, one line of which reads:
Corporation practice solic-
tied"
OF course we all know that
the best lawyers accept cor
poration practice, and that such
business is entirely legitimate.
But Mr.. Alexander should be
honest with the people.
