disposed of with few brief ques

any unsatisfied judgments of record

promise to pay" hoary with age,
and barred by limitation? Do the
merchants hold any uncollected gro

farmers any claims for produce sold

Headquarters ofAlexander Car, rdov
Committee of Forrest Counl-
To The Voters of Forrest County:

Everyone is familiar with the oft
repeated statement that the present
Senatorial campaign is Campaign
of abuse, SANDER and vilification."
In this, as in all of the literature
emanating from Alexander sources,
and as in all of Mr.. Alexander's
speeches. these things are conscious
ly absent.
If, as has been asserted, this
campaign presents elements of
strife, passion and bitterness, with.
out parallel in the history of the
state, then these elements have not
been Of our choosing. We depre-
cate as unwise and unfair, among
members of common political faith
charges and counter charges, GRIM
nations and recriminations, vituper-
alton and vilification.
If these things were objection
able on no higher ground, there is
always danger lest outsiders mis-
take partisan frenzy for sober
reality.
Mr.. Alexander and his followers
have conducted his campaign on
lofty and manly plane. leaving the
language of billingsgate to those
whose tastes run in that direction.
Even in defending himself against
unjust aspersions. as he has been
compelled to do. Mr.. Alexander's
utterances, have uniformly and In
variably been marked with fairness,
courtesy and gentility.
In the same spirit of fairness and
honesty, on the eve of the democrat
ic primary. let us reason together as
democrats concerning the matters at
issue. And when we have calmly
and dispassionately considered the
things at issue let us each, in the
light of reason, and with a view to
our common welfare, cast our bal
lots for that candidate who seems
best fitted to serve us, and to ap-
proach nearest our ideals. Let us
lay aside for the time passion, preju-
dice and animosity Let us appeal
to reason, Judgment and patriotism.
Others may have appealed to So
phistry, to race hatred and to the
baser emotions. Let us look to the
logic of the situation, to the welfare
of all the people, and to the best
elements of moral manhood.
Mr.. Alexander, we submit. has al
ways been clean in speech, clean in
politics and clean in private life.
When has he ever uttered a senti-
ment clothed in unchaste language,
or done on unmanly thing, in poll
tics, or committed an impure act in
private life? A choice selection OF
soubriquettes have been conferred
upon him of late among which are
Eluer Ale&dnuer, DEACON Alexdn-
der" and preacher Alex He has
also been decorated with such cpl
thets, as the "Hypocrite" the psalm
Singer" and the Sunday school
teacher" These things are not so
much disparagements of Mr.. Alex
ander as filings at religion.
He has. also been dubbed 1.-The

these impolite adjectives, we leave
the defense of the character of the
participants in the late democratic
caucus to themselves.
The alleged bribery of certain
member or certain members of that
caucus, has been submitted to ju-
dicial inquiry and not sustained. 1t
has also been thoroughly and ex-
haustively Investigated by both
Houses of the Legislature and with
the same result.
Whether these charges were real
ly true or not, we submit that Mr..
Alexander went into the caucus with
clean hands and came out of it with
clean hands. If the caucus was
dirty, rotten and Infamous" he did
not make it so. If members of the
caucus and legislature were bribed
he did not bride them. If intoxicat-
ing liquors were improperly used by
the several candidates before the
caucus he did not so use them, nor
were they used in and around his
headquarters.
Nobody has ever charged Mr..
Alexander with these things, and
nobody ever will do so, for the OBJ
vious reason that if there was cor
ruption in the caucus, it all oc-
CURED after lie was out of it. For,
be it remembered, he was out of the
caucus three weeks before the other
candidates were, and it was during
this time that the corruption is al
legged to have occurred.
Mr.. Alexander, being a christian
gentleman, then conducted. his cam
paign in the caucus, and is now con-
Quoting his campaign before the
people, in perfect accord with the
loftiest ethics of the Christian re-
ligion. His life measures up to the
principles of the Golden Rule.
Mr.. Alexander, during his profess
sfonal career. has handled several
millions Of dollars of trust funds to
the entire satisfaction of a grateful
clientage. Yet there has never been
single dime of this vast sum total
misused, nor has there ever been
any complaint as to lost vouchers.
nor has he ever been under the
necessity of charging others with
the larceny of the evidences of his
rectitude.
Though he has resided in the Cap
ital City many years, he has no rec
ord as Legislative lobbyist to de-
fend. Though he has enjoyed a
large law practice, he is in no en-
tangling alliances with public ser.
vice corporations. Though he has
been actively connected with many
public reforms, he has never been
charged with being visionary.
Mr.. Alexander is blessed with a
splendid mental endowment. He
has been a close student of men and
measures. He has had a fine train
ing and a ripe experience. He is a
gentleman of stirling character. and
sturdy manhood.
These are the elements that lie at
the basis Of safe and sane construc-

before my eyes the scientific report
of some experiments made by one
Esnault-Pelterie. a Frenchman who
claims that aeropianes cannot be shot
while retreating from the enemy.
This Franl; with the hyphensted
name. it appears, has lately stood be-
hind his aeroplane. while the propeller
has been in molten and has made MANY
futile endeavors to fire into the stern
of the craft. He claims that all OF the
bullets were waited aside by the col
umn of air thrown hack sniral.y by
the revolving blades. SO much for the
impossibility of a rear attack, but how
about firing into an aeroplana when
hroadside to you?
Defiant Mr.. EIrdnan.
You ask Mr.. Birdman that and he
wants you to figure out. mathemati oally
the chance of covering with anything
heavier than a Winchester. an aero
plane 5000 feet up and darting a mile
minute through the three dimonsions
of space. If there were a whole regi-
ment OF sharpshooters, and each aimed
one of these new-fangled aeroplane
guns at a punched fleet of aero
planes. one craft might be struck.
the air scout admits. But even ther.
q clear little hole through ono OF the
aeroplanes would probably DO the ex-
tent of the damage.
The war balloon offers a much bet
ter target than the aeroplane. when
1t comes TO trying ones hand ut this
new sport. But even after the balloon
has been peppered till Its skin looks
like porous plaster the odds are in
favor of the aeronaut's escape. This
was indicated lately by some expert
ments made by the Germans ut Lydd.
After the high-angle Krupps had rid
died the lower portions of their en-
velopes the balloon subjected to the
fire were still held in the air by the
upward pressure of the gas, and final
ly the drop OF the perforated balloons
TO earth was sufficiently gradual to
have allowed the escape of any. aero
nauts inside the baskets.
Has Always Had the Laugh.
The military air scout has successful
ly defed the enemy's powder and shell
since that remote day, lit years ago,
when the first war balloon went forth
