POSITIVE Mr.. ALEXANDER
Will Be In Second Race.

ray Maulcr.J
Jackson, Miss, July II, 1911.-
Hon. c. H. Alexander S campaign
managers seem to be just as positive
that Mr.. Alexander will be one of the
men in the second race as they are
that the first primary will be held
August LIST. Only recently num-
Der of newspapers have enlisted un.
der his banner that have not sup
ported him up until now. This is
significant. These newspapers see
the way the wind is blowing From
every quarter comes the news that
Mr.. Alexander is going to get very
large vote among the farmers and
one OF his adherents stated a few
days ago that he was prepared to
prove that 40 per cent. Of the farm
ers would vote for C. H. Alexander.
Every faction comedies that he will
get almots all the silent voters, al
ways determining factor in politi-
cal contests. Mr.. Alexanders friend
ly attitude towards organized labor.
which he has exhibited in very sub
stantial and convincing way. when
ever the opportunity offered has
brought to his support vast MAJOR
ity of the railway employees, the me-
chanics, the brick lnasons and men,
bers of union labor gene rally
throughout the state. The fact, too.
that he has always been an anti-cor-
poration lawyer has placed him close
to the hearts of thousands of voters.
The fight he has made for honesty in
politics and his avoidance in the use
OF epithets or abusive language re-
garding his opponents has given him
easy access to the best thought of
the people. He has never vet used
language on the stump that would be
Objectionable in the presence O f
ladies. He has taken his message to
the people and they have realized
that he was their friend and believe
that he will be their faithful advocate
in the United States Senate. His
campaign is one of the most remark
able in the history of the state and
Notwithstanding the intensity of the
contest there has been on one vet to
assail bis character or public record.
There is nothing against him. The
drift us towards Alexander good and
strong.

TupeIo Gave vardaman Great Ovation.

Newton Record.
One of the biggest crowds that
Vardaman has spoken to YET was in
the home town of Private" John
Allen, Tupelo, where it was reported
by the Tupelo Review, an Alexander
paper, and other citizens that the
crowd numbered at least 5000. A
feature of the occasion was a parade
of 800 voters on horse back and in
wagons from the eastern part of the
county. After the parade they gath
cred in front OF the hotel where the
speaker was stopping, and cheered
him for twenty minutes.

BeIittlIng Our Great Middle Class.

Newton Record.
If there is anything that ought 10
disgust man who really IS lnteili-
gent, it is the pretense of the oppo-
sition that the ignorant are the ones
who are supporting Vardaman. Any
one who can claim to possess even
average intelligence knows that a
man of rare mental qualities and
broad learning never boasts of his
knowledge-the really intelligent
and learned men are always modest
and do not make great pretentlons.
Their intelligence speaks for itself,
and they do not have to go around
parading their mental attainments
and accuse others of being ignorant.

vardaman In Sympathy With Poor Class
New Albany Gazette.

New Albany Gazette.
Yes, Mr.. Vardaman is poor man.
His friends have known it long
time. He owes money he can't pay.
There are judgments against him,
which, # he ever gets able, he will
settle. Yes he is a poor man, and
for that very reason. if no other, his
sympathies are witch the poor the
sons OF toil-in their fight for justice
under the law. The rich sometimes
so EARLY forget! Some years ago
Mr.. Vardaman lost his library, into
which he had put many dollars, by
fire. Then he lost his home by fire.
Then he suffered an unfortunate bus
mess venture. Mr.. Vardaman has
never made money his God, and if it
is a crime to be poor, then he is a
great criminal. But, thank God it
is not a crime to be poor! He is hon
est. sincere, capable, brave and true
and after the August Primary
there'll be only one-the common

Somewhat Significant Isn't II?

The Issue, Jackson.
Did you ever stop to think how few
of those secret coucus legislators
throughout the state are offering for
reelection? There must be a reason
for this. 1t took money, whlskey,
women, federal patronage, state pat
ronage and even a gold watch or two
to defeat Vardaman in that eecret
caucus. All these will not do it in
the August primary, although some
of it will be tried.

One of our Percyizod exchanges in
quires: What would Vardaman do
in the United States Senator" We'll,
sir, one of the first things he'd dc
would be to make the aggregation OF
millionaires sit up and take notice.
He'd give them distinctly to under
stand that he was there to represent
the people of Mississippi and not
simply the railroads and lumber
trust. However, it is not necessary
for us to go into details. You will
have chance to see before you are
much older.

Yet the Vardaman press has never
charged anything against Senator
Percy which cannot be sustained to

was the attorney for the liquor inter

played poker for money; that he has
been hunting and fishing on Sundays.

mary, or the secondary course, which
ever you may take, enclosing the
amount required.
