Ins once, and when Percy and AIexs
sndef attempted this sctIoo they
would come Ioto serious conflict With
the candidates for county of,ices.
HOODwINKfNG CANDIDATES.
We feared little of no danger from
this dIsquaIIfyIos proposition because
OF the safe guard ~ county candi
dates. To get around the disastrous
results that would eosue ~ the oppo-
sitioo " they attempted this, they
have devised the plan u getting the
candidates to agree 10 an earlier pf'-
mary 10 select county officers.
DO not let the good friends Of Gov
ernor vardamsn be misled by this
suggestion, or any seemingly plausi-
BILE argument 10 support thereof, o.
dire threats 10 bring this object about.
The purpose Of this plan IL not "a
save the candidates time and money,
not to save the people the time
devoted TO . political carnpaien, bu'
the purpose ID to he able TO carry Out
the insIdious and cuwardIy plan oil
disqualifylng voters and at the SAINT
time not To run afoul the county can
didates.
Another purpose which they bav,
10 mind Is that they hope that b
holding the elections OF county olIicerl
tirst that when that Is over lee
interest will be taken 10 the regula
primary and that fewer voters vii
turn out,
\, To express their purpose Ia fewe
words they fear to let the people o
Mississippi speak, and are seeking II
every conceivable way to mislea,
them and keep them from the polls.
We are taking this method OF call
Ing your attention to the importanc,
OF exposing this contemplate ant
dirty piece Of politics II It has no,
already occurred to you.
See the friends OF Governor varda
man Ia your county and let full
publicity be given to a political tricl
} characteristic Of the political imam,
: now being attempted to be fastened
! upon the state Of Mississippi by til
attempted defeat Of Governor varda
man, the true representative Of TIL
/ people.
I Do not forget the Importance D
! this matter or the necessity of iinme
date action. See TO II that the can
didates are advised OF this nefarlou
attempt, and do this At once, for eyel
a few days might do US injury.
!, Another and perhaps paramount
objection to the double. primar
scheme is, that u would remove
safe guard to fair election 10 remov
) Ing the county candidates and thei
friends as watchers Of the count o
the ballots.
FAIR PLAY PLEA.
All candidates whs have signe,
petitions or agreements for the dou
BILE primary should, 10 the interest o
fair play, Withdraw their names re
CARELESS OF their preference 10

We would take II NJ favor II 70,
