The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1911-04-28

Of the burdens Of taxation and Of goy-
ernmental favoritism when they are
not exacting Of their public oficialsf
MI. Alexander courts the fullest in
quiry into his private and public life.
He is conscious that no truthful man
a justly say that he has not directed
his conduct by the highest principles OF
justice. Right has been his guiding
star. He has lived the life Of an hon.
est man. He has been a force for
good. He has not sought notoriety for
notoriety's sake, nor played the spec
tacular. HE is NOT WAGING THIS
FIGHT UPON HIS GOOD LOOKS OR
UPON HIS BAD LOOKS NOR UPON
HIS STRIKING ATTIRE.
Undsr No obligations to Corporations.
The corporations of the country have
their hands on the throat of the gov
eminent. They have throttled the will
of the peope. Their paid attorneys and
their hired agents are in evidence at
every state capitol and they flock to
Washington City bv the hundreds.
They go there for a purpose. The fact
is, the people have chosen too many
that have been connected with corpora
tions at home to do duty for them in
legislative halls. Governments are de-
signed to protect the weak. The poor
man needs the law to protect his hold
ings, whatever they may be, more than
the man of wealth. Wealth will largely
take care of itself. Almost every law
that is placed on the statute books of
the country for CURLING corporations is
attacked in the courts. The corpora
tions are loath to relinquish what they
have been enjoying. We need men of
sound judgment, good constitutional
lawyers, lei who can appeal to the
sober thought Of their fellows to repre-
sent Mississippi in the nations Con-
gress. MI. Alexander FAR meet Ill
these requirements. Notwithstanding
the fact that some very fattering Of
fers have been made him to represent
some of the largest corporations in
Mississippi, he has declined them all,
! ~preferring to remain in the general
practice and to be unfettered by corpo-
rate influences. Hence, if sent - a
senator to Washington City, the corpo-
rations cannot claim that he is under
any obligations to them for past IA
vors or for big fees.
Taxes Every Citizen Daily.
The people will not be able to secure
that which is best in the direction Of
the affairs of the government until
they choose their safest and most ca
pable men as public servants. 1t would
appear sometimes that the voters do
not appreciate how intimatelyland how
personally the national government
touches them. If every man would
just consider how much taxes the gov
eminent is calling o. him for daily, he
would be more serious in depositing his
ballot. MI. Alexander is DESTROYS Of
having the people think seriously in
this campaign. He wants every ballot
to represent the deliberate judgment of
the voter.
Not on the Dement'S or Failures Of Others.
We confidently believe that the peo-
pie of Mississippi desire to exercise the
same ARE and same caution in employ
ing men to discharge their public du-
ties that they display in giving a man
employment in their stores or on their
farms. MR.. ALEXANDER'S CAM
DrDACY is NOT BASED ON THE
FAILURES OR DEMERITS OF ANY
BODY ELSE. He feels an abiding in
terest in the welfare and the future Of
his beloved State. He has a large fam
lily of boys that have set themselves to
work out their destiny in Mississippi,
and it is his hearts desire to hand
down to them and to the next gener-
ation the best set of laws and the most
stable government which the people of
today a make.
We have a great state and a good
people. We have q wonderful heri-
tage; but we cannot rest on what has
been done. The mills cannot grind
with the waters that are past. 1t ID
the living present and future that con.
Germs US most. Mr.. Alexander goes to
the people with clean hands and with
an unimpeachable private and public
record. He has hever before sought
Office. HE is NOT A CHRONIC BEG.

continue to be.
Canno BE Bought or Bullied.
