Has Accounted for All Funds.

Has Accounted for All Funds.
As an attorney, Mr.. Alexander has
handled trust funds and thousands of
dollars that belong to widows and
orphans Yet he has never appropriate
ed dollar to his own use nor refused
to furnish an itemized statement of
how every dollar went. No man would
want an attorney that would do less.
In fact the lawyer that failed to give
an accounting for money in his hands
would be debarred. Should not the
same rule be applied to a public Off
Ger? Mr.. Alexander courts the fullest
inquiry into his public and private
life. He is conscious that no truthful
man can justly say that he has not di-
rected his conduct by the highest prin-
ciples of Justice Right has been his
guiding star. He has lived the life of
an honest man. He has not sought
notoriety for notoriety's sake nor
played the spectacular. HE is NOT
WAGING THIS FIGHT UPON HIS
GOOD LOOKS OR UPON HIS BAD
LOOKS, NOR UPON HIS STRIKING
ATTIRE.
Un:er No Obligation to Corporations.
The corporations of the country have
their hands on the throat of the gov
eminent. They have throttled the
will of the people. Their paid attor-
neys and their hired agents are in evil
dence at every state capital and they
flock to Washington City by the hun
dreds. They go there for purpose.
The fact is, the people have chosen
too many that have been connected
with corporations at home to do duty
for them in legislative halls. Govern
ments are designed to protect the
weak. The poor man needs the law
to protect his holdings, whatever they
Wealth will largely take care of itself
Almost every law that is placed on
the statute books of the country for
curbing corporations is attacked in
the courts. The corporations are loath
to relinquish what they have been en-
? joyng. We need men of sound judg-
ment, good constitutional lawyers,
t men who can appeal to the sober
| thought of their fellows to represent
I Mississippi in the nations congress
5 Mr.. Alexander can meet all these re-
r quirements. Notwithstanding the fact
! that some very fiattering offers have
t been made him to represent some OF
the largest corporations in Missis
Y sippi, he has declined them all, pre-
I ferring to remain in the general prac.
} tice and to be unfettered by corporate
influence Hence, if sent as a sena-
, tor to Washington City, the corpora
: tions cannot claim that he is under
any obligations to them for past ia.
n vors or for big fees.
: Taxes Every Citizen Daily.
The people will not be able to Sc
cure 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. II
would appear SOMETHING'S, that the
> voters do not appreciate how init
a mately and how personally the national
: government touches them. IF EVERY
MAN WOULD JUST CONSIDER HOW
y MUCH TAXES THE GOVERNMENT
is CALLING ON HIM FOR DAILY
= HE WOULD BE MORE SERIOUS IN
