Mr.. Hines, he OF not little Missis-
sippi fame, Mr.. Voter, feels that at
least another senator Is necessary at
Washington who will do the bidding
OF the trusts, for Lorimer stands in a
fair way OF losing the seat that cost

devoting themselves strenuously to

TO FOOL THE VOTERS.
The LUMBER trusts, evidently
feeling that Mr.. Percy will, aud must,
respond to their demand for his vote
in the United States senate whenever
called upon for it, is permitting him
the inconsistent pleasure of going
about the state pleading for Canadian
reciprocity against which Hines and
LUM BIER interests are persiStently
fghting) in order to fool the general
public and wheedle the unsuspecting
voter into casting a ballot for their
particular candidate. The Mississippi
voter is net quite so ignorant, nor
quite so big fool as Mr. Percy and
his advisors appear to be inclined to
believe, and the tremendous majority
that will be rolled up against the
Twins and In favor OF Major Varda.
man in the first primary will be such
a positive answer to their pleadings
that the trusts will change their opin.
ions regarding the men Of the great
old state.
A vote for Mr.. Percy is a vote for
continued throttling OF the people
and the state. A vote for Mr.. Alex
ander is half vote 10 the same direc.
tion. A vote for Major Vardaman is
vote for liberty, freedom, manhood
and honesty. The Mississippi voters
will take their own choice, and the
answer is easy to read.
