porations and everybody else, he has a
record of bringing and winning the
suits that afford the people relief from
their oppression.
A Vital Question.
Temperance people if you really
want to get some needed national leg |
islation, like the democratic, common
sense doctrine that the state should
be allowed to enforce the laws against
selling whiskey, within her territory,
against outsiders as well as her own
people; that the United States should
not license people to violate state
laws, how are you going to get it? BY
sending the man who waited in Green
vile until the last letter had been
written in your state law before he
showed any kind of sympathy with
your cause, or would you not rather
trust the man who has won the victory
at home to do something in Washing

would bar the way of his getting
through some law that others might
write for him?
Not d Railroad Attorney.
Would you send a man to get you
relief from the oppression of corpora

the servant of corporate greed.

it is well for the honest, upright citi-
: zens to know this.
, THE whiskey interests are not go
, ing to put him there. He does not
even patronize them for campaign pur
poses. The blind tiger eelment does
not gather about him on the streets
and the whiskey drummers do not fire
quent his headquarters
IF the corporations are sending
agents, disguised as fruit tree and
photograph vendors, over the state tc
: control votes, you will never find then
soliciting a vote for Alexander Fol
he promises to be just to the people
Of all classes, and his high life back
of the promise proclaims with empha
sis that the promise is sincere.
"a strong friend of Major Vardaman
said that he believed in the first pri
r mary he would vote for Mr. Percy. fol-
he did not want Alexander in the sec

elements are about to unite their
voices to create the impression that

The masses of the common people OF
Mississippi want the best man for the
