only the office seekers serve the people?
DR.. w. T. Lowrey, president of Mis-
sissippi College, after living in the
same county with him for ten years,
said in a public speech three years ago
that Mr.. Alexander had been the bull
wark of righteousness in Kinds county. |
He has stood square against the sa-
loon, the gambling hell, the brothel
and every other form Of evil. When
the politicians were too busy or too po-
little to fight the saloons in Kinds county,
Nj. Alexander has been known to a.
most quit his great law practice for
days and even for weeks and devote
himself to prevent the Reinstatement Of
saloons in our capital city.
Throughout his life he has been not
only a worker for everything that
concerns the protection and uplift Of
the people, along with it he has liber-
ally divided his income with the benev-
olent causes that uplift humanity.
Yes, he is q member Of the Presby-
terrain church. and has always lived .
life consistent with the sterling princi-
pies of that solid and admirable people.
4 Mr.. Alexander should be elected
because of tho effect which his election
would have On the people of Missis-
sippi. Are you dol n on the secret
caucus? Whether you are right or
wrong, Mr.. Alexander was less re-
sponsible for it than either Of the other
} candidates now in the field. He was
ruled out of the caucus when he was
: one of the leading candidates in num-
Der of votes, and when his friends be-
} lieved he had the best prospects of
election Of any mar before the caucus.
He was too manly, however, to whine
> about it, and too honest to try to de-
ceive the people and poison their minds
because he was defeated.
o. MI. Alexander's election is the only
/. thing that can heal the present unfor'
: tunate bitterness in Mississippi. The
0 intelligent and reasonable citizens in
4 Mississippi have confidence in him.
There are many bitter prejudices
e against both the other Candidates anc
y the election of either of them woulC
/; stir additional bitterness and leave the
2 state in a condition of political war. II
Y Mr.. Alexander should receive the nom
S nation, intelligent and reasonable mer
throughout the state would be forced
k to say at once, We'll, there is one
o thing sure, we have ar able, pure ane
n patriotic senator The most effective
means of restoring peace among thu
people of the state would be to cleo
o Mr.. Alexander. Elect him, and on
e state will soon settle back to peace
d bitterness will disappear and the oil
time brotherly love will soon be eviden
it again among our now agitated people
it Another splendid result which woul
follow Mr.. A~lexander's election woul
,e be the effect on the young manhood o
& the state. Mississippi would thus sa
to every boy, purity, Righteousness
ability and hard work have their re
ward Sometimes we make our youn
Or men feel that the man who goes tn
re gait is the mar who succeeds, that
,e you gamble and drink and use whiske
in elections, swear and tell vulgar tales
to you will win the votes. Let us fc
as one time say to the young men of Nil
a sissippi, a man may be pure from HI
h. boyhood up, righteous throughout h
a life, unconnected with drinking ar
he gambling, pure from vulgar tales ar
he profanity, and yet succeed. Let tt
he young men understand that the day hi
I'd come when ability and character al
he appreciated.
u Is it the poor boy who has succeeds
he in hard work, close economy and rig
nd living, that you want? You find him
or c.. H. Alexander. Is it the man wi
re has worked steadily for his living al
S. made his way to success by the hal
lat labor of his own brain that you wan
he Alexander is the man. Is it the m,
I'd, who, while making his W living
ed his own work, has always been int
he ested in the public and ready to gi
at both his time and his money to t
cause of righteousness? Alexander
W, your man. Is it the man who nev
his drank or gambled, who US
in whiskey or allowed it to be used
his bring about his election; who has ma
tanned headquarters during the cauc
nat and since. that were absolutely free
faults, indecent and ven questional
ian methods? Alexander is your man.
It'll Let not the state of Mississippi Il
len this great opportunity to honor a m
do who has never disgraced her by VIZ
