Gard from Mr.. yewelI.
TO the people of Mississippi:

To the people of Mississippi:
Nhen l entered the race for Lieuten-
ant Governor of your state, did so on
this platform: The integrity of the
legislature of Mississippi and the honor
of the people of Mississippi. appeal
to every citizen in this state who has
faith in Mississippi, in her institutions,
in her representative form of govern
ment and in her people, for his suffrage
and support. Of course l cannot ex-
pect the vote nor do care for it, of
the man who has lost faith in every
thing and everybody.
The legislature of Mississippi, the
governor of Mississippi and the jury
system of Mississippi, every depart
ment of the state government has been
indicted in this campaign, by one Of
my opponents, Senator Bilbo. He
charges that the sovereign voters OF
Mississippi are guilty of having delib-
erately chosen corrupt men to repre-
sent them in every department of our
state government, and that this great
and proud state of ours is rotten and
corrupt, and he asks you to say by
your votes, by the election of him to
office, that his charges against Missis-
sippi are true. He has placed Missis-
sippi on trial before the bar of public
opinion and you are to decide her fate.
In this trial of Mississippi, charged
with dishonor, my other opponent, Cen
eral Nash, neither prosecutes nor de-
fends. 1t would seem that he is con-
tent to reap the fruits of a personal
victory, regardless of whether Misss-
sippi is acquitted and exonerated or
condemned and her honor besmirched.
have tried to make this fight for
the honor and fair name Of my native
state, which love, and am not one of
those who are willing to say by their
votes to the balance of the world that
we t.ississippians are corrupt people.
l make my appeal only to those who
love Mississippi and who have faith in
her honor.
Sincerely, Tandy o. Yewell.

Tribute to Jim Gillespie.

James l.. Gillespie, the present land
election. He will be remembered by
many of the older citizens of Lee
county, as he served as a member of
the legislature from that county in or
about 1888 or 'S9, at which time he was
editor of the Tupelo Ledger, afterward
moving to Greenwood, where =, pub
lished for years the Enterpr .e Of
the best newspapers in tb/ .e, and
is now owner of theI .onwealth,
one the leading js$sT of that Sec
tion. ~
the days ofC~ boyhood, when we
roamed the Nhe-clad hills of old Ponto-
toe together, and danced in our red-top
boots on the puncheon floors with the
fiat wood gals and rode double on
towheaded mule by the light of the
morning stars to reach home before the
rise of the sun, and appear at the
breakfast table as innocent and devoid
of slumber as the prattling babe that
had peacefully slept in its mothers
arms all night. We have worked side
by side with him day in and day out, in
the struggle with young life's prob
lens; we have seen him grasp the
rounds one at time and strain every
muscle to pull himself to the next; we
have watched him as he travelled from
the humble cottage in the piney woods
to the state house in Jackson, and in
no one instance can it be said that he
ever betrayed trust, or turned his
back and uplifted face spurned the
means of his ascension"
In every walk of life he has proven
himself worthy of the honor and re-
spect of his felow-man, and he de-
serves the office he is seeking of the
voters of his native state. The office
is an important one and the judicious
management of its affairs means mach
to the taxpayers of the state.
That he is the man for the place, has
been clearly proven by the efficient
manner in which he has conducted the
affairs of the Office during his incum-
bency. He is man of the people and
for the people and has their interest at
| heart.
He is democrat to the core and
stands on his merits alone and not on
the dement's of others. Baldwin Home

Lawrence Answers Powell.

Ahe 1oHoWlng statement was piv on
out by the editor of this paper july "a:
Grenada, Miss, July 24.-To the
people OF Mississippi: The following
circular. which speaks for itself, was
reproduced in my paper. the Grenada
Sentinel, of last week:
''vardaman Campaign Club.
jackson, Miss, Aug. 20, 1907.
Realizing that the principles advo-
Gated by Governor vsrdaman are right
and will prevail four years from now.
and looking to that end, the majority
OF Us Vardaman people are supporting
p. I. Noel because he will not be a
candidate for the senate; while we fear
II Brewer 10 elected he may torn such
. political gang as to give Gov. varda-
man . pretty hard fight.
BE true to your principles and don't
build wall you will have to climb
yourself. "S. ]. Tavlor.
Former Chairman vardaman Cam
paign Club.
''Show this to all vardaman support
ers.''
The circular seems to be giving the
followers of forme: Governor Varda-
man serious concern. So grave do they
seem to regard it that I observe that
Judge Robert Powell has issued pub
lie statement relative 10 it. While
hold Judge Powell in the highest es-
TEEN and have the most profound re-
spect and admiration for him, submit
that in his zeal to shield Mr.. Varda-
man and bolster up his waning cause,
he has gone further than the record
and circumstances warrant in trying to
couple Mr.. Vardaman's cause onto Mr..
Brewer.
AS an intimate personal friend of
Mr.. Brewer, do not hesitate to say
that would not have him take part in
the senatorial race. My friendship for
him and my loyalty to his political in
terests would not allow me to enter
tain the idea of his doing anything to
embarass his administration as Cover
nor or that would in any way handicap
him in carrying out policy that know
means so much to the progress and
prosperity of our beloved common
wealth. know that Mr.. Brewer has
not intended to take part in it. He has
friends in the camps of all the candi-
dates. also know that no word has
passed from his lips as to how his
friends should vote in the senatorial
race. A mans "real friends" will
frequently seek to redress wrong
done him, unsolicited. From the Var
daman viewpoint, am sure that Mr.
Bre ver should feel under lasting obli-
cations to Major Vardaman for the
circular referred to, which was issued
on the eve of the second primary, four
years ago, when there was no opportu-
nifty to answer it. Mr.. Vardaman evil
IDENTIFY endorsed it, because he did not
repudiate it. know, too, that from
the Vardaman viewpoint, Mr.. Brewer
SHOULD feel under lasting obligations to
Mr.. Vardaman for the oft repeated
declaration made in The Issue, which
stated that he supported Noel as "the
lesser of the two evils" should inn
agine that Mr.. Brewer also appreci-
ated the slight given him in The Issue
of last week, which seemed to regard
his unanimous nomination as Governor
of SO little Importance as to pass it
unnoticed. Regardless of Mr.. Brew
er's neutrality, crescent the idea''
that ''his true friends" should pass
these things by without proper politi-
cal consideration and adjustment.
