HON. 6. H. ALEXANDER
About His Candidacy and Why He Should be Chosen
for United States SendtOr--An Opportunity
Presented the People.
70 the Voters of Mississippi:

The people have an opportunity IN
the campaign which is now stirring the
state from one end to the other, of
sending one of their purest, noblest and
best men, in the person of Hon. c. H.
Alexander, to the United States Sem
ate.
His Boyhood
He has been a leader in whatever en-
gagged. From the time of his boyhood
in Attala county, where he was n of
a large family of children, his father
being a Presbyterian minister on a
small salary, until today, he has lived a
life above ~reproach. As a boy, he
toiled and aided much in relieving a
heavily burdened father. The labor re-
quired then helped to lay the founda-
ton for that rugged character, that
c~ommendable devotion to duty and that
unfaltering persistence that has stop
ped at no obstacles nor halted because
of any sacrifices. By the sweat of his
brow he aided in meeting his financial
needs when a boy. 1t was in those
buoyant days of youth that the star Of
hope appeared unto him which caused
him to aspire to bring things to pass in
life.
Due Recognition of the Rights Of Others.
He has succeeded. But in doing SO
he has never trampled upon the rights
or the feelings of any individual. He
has neve yet willingly and unwarrant-
eddy wounded the feelings of any man,
woman or child regardless of their sta
ton in life. He has always recog-
nized the right of others to differ from
him. 1t has been his policy to accom-
plish his ends and to win in his under
takings by a persuasive appeal to good
common sense.
He long ago reached the conclusion
that most people wanted to do the right
thing-to get On the right side of every
question. When others have disagreed
with him, he has never poured the vi
ais of his wrath upon them or spoken
harshly about them. There are none
that can say hat they were ever the
subjects of Mr.. Alexander's ridicule
from the speakers stand or through
the public press. His life has preached
sunshine, hope and fidelity, and his
deeds have more than measured with
his words.
Lawyer, Churchman and Business Man.
C. H. Alexander is prepared to deal
with the gravest problems. He has
solved them as a lawyer, as a business
man and as a churchman. He is more
prolific in performance than fertile in
promise. The surest and most accurate
way to Judge the future of any man is
by WHAT HE HAS DONE RATHER
THAN BY WHAT HE PROMISES
TO DO.
Mr.. Alexander has met face to face
in the courts of the land the brightest
minds in the country. Opposing coun-
sci recognized that they had met a le-
gal adversary that was prepared for
the controversy. He studied his eli
ent's interests. Were he a United
States Senator, he would study the
welfare of his people and it would be
his ambition day by day to render them
faithful service. He has never quailed
before any opposition. HE HAS YET
TO REFUSE TO DISCUSS CUES
TONS BETWEEN HIM AND ANY
OTHER GENTLEMAN. IN THE
DAYS THAT ARE PAST, THE
BRAND OF SHAME WAS PLACED
UPON THE MAN THAT DID. is
1T DIFFERENT NOW? 1t is well
recognized that in Mississippi-a state
noted for her great legal luminaries-
he stands second to none. This is nc
idle claim. He has the legal victories
to his credit.
Author of Law Book.
He is a joint author of n of the
most celebrated and one of the most
widely used law books in the state
"Brame and Alexander's Digest His
address on 1.-THE Majesty of the Law
delivered at Millsaps College in 1909
has been widely read and is justly spo
ken of as the deliverance of a profount
mind. 1t breathed the spirit of tn
true patriot. That address was
warning call to duty. 1t was as one cry
ing from the mountain top as to com
ing events. That speech has undoubt
d. eddy been the source of a wonderful in
spiration to the people of the state. l
should be read by every citizen of Mis-
sissippi.
Consistently Fought Liquor Trafac.
Mr.. Alexander has always been
militant factor in the crusade waged il
Mississippi against the liquor traffic
His life has conformed to his profes
sions, too. He has not uttered one thin
to the public and then behind close
doors or in the darkness of the nigh
practiced the reverse. When it cam
