The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1911-07-28

Because he is a clean man. In IF
teen months of campaigning, during
which his plume could always be seen
in the thickest of the fight, not one
word has been charged against his pri-
vate life or public record.
Because he is the logical man. For
fifteen months he has discussed face to
face with the people of Mississippi the
questions that are of vital interest to
them today. He knows them and
they know him.
Because ne is the available man. It
is conceded by many Of the friends of
both Major Vardaman and Mr.. Percy
that Mr.. Alexander win poll more votes
in the second primary against either
one Of them than either could possibly
pill against the other.
Because he does not have to explain
or apologize to the people Of shis state
for q changed attitude toward either
one Of his opponents, having slways
been consistent politically.
Because he has made the fight f this
campaign and has his forces infinitelv
better organized and more nearly rea1y
for a three weeks engagement with@ltx
Their of his opponents.
Because he has borne the brupt 81
this contest, responding to every call
that has been made upon him and a.
ing to every section Of the state IN pe
son and not by proxy, telling his stoiy'
to his people himself and not. through
! others.
Because in a contest marked with
unusual bitterness and characterized
by many chickering's, although his part
has been active and aggressive, he hRs
the confidence of his fellow-citizens,
and has no confessions to make and, no
explanations to offer. !.
Because during the three weeks be-
tween the first and second primaries,
the campaign would readily be stripped
of many false issues that have been in
jected into it and have, to some extent,
distracted the attention of the voters
from the main issue that is, the real
qualifications and real fitness of the
men who advocate the measures in
which the people : 50 vitality intsr.

Because if between the frat and seq
one primary the liquor question should
be made an issue, he would be amply
able to defend his position; if the cor.
porate question should be, the main q
sue, he would have no difficulty in COZ.
sistently defending his position; if ~
caucus should continue to be an issue,
he has demonstrated that he can tal6|
care of himself. either in joint debad
or in ex parte discussions F
Because he has at all times asd or
all occasions clearly proved his ability
to meet any question or any PROPOSE:
ton and because his very life and rec.
ord have deferred his hearers wen frorl
propounding questions to him in an al
tempt to embarass him. =
Because he has demonstrated bill
ability to represent the people of hi
native state in the. greatest deliber
alive body in the world where he wout
be matched in debate with the great
est minds of the Nation, where n
would be pitted against our country;
greatest statesmen; where a man would
have to think on his feet and think fas
at that, where he would command at
~tention and respect.
Because there is absolutely no doub
in the minds of the friends of his op
p~onents of his ability to win agains
either one of them who may go in witt
him. Because he will poll PRACTICAL
the solid vote of whichever one of hi
opponents may be eliminated on tn
first primary. Because he is the Sc,
ond choice of the friends of both tn
other candidates. Because his nomin,
r ton would leave no sting with any /
them, and because his election woul
be a source of intense qualification
a his friends, restoring peace and ha
IS mony to Mississippi politics.
oil Because he more nearly represen

their varied interests, than does eth,
of his opponents, belonging to no Sc
e ton to the exclusion of any other, re-
Presenting no one class as against al
other, but being in all respects, al
