PERCY AT HIS POST

Senator Percy has been compelled to
cancel his engagements in order that he
may return to Washington to be on hand
when the Sutherland amendment comes
up in the Senate.
No client ever had Mr.. Percy, the law
yer, to shirk a duty; no friend ever
found Leroy Percy, the man, lacking in
loyalty or self-sacrifce. The people Of
Mississippi nave not, and never will, find
Senator Percy unfaithful to a trust or
NOT sacrificing personal ambition to be
at his post of duty when there is need
of him there.
1t requires a man who is brave and pa
triotic to leave a campaign that Is just
at it's height to go to Washington and
leave the field to his opponents for the
time being. In other words, to fight on
the firing line when he might be building
has pasture fences that others are seek
ing to tear down.
But MississiPpiAns admire bravery, pa
triotism and loyalty, and they are apt
to show it by their votss.-COlUmhuA

course hopeless. And there are some
very nice colonies, who were made colo
nels by You, who feel that they would
never have been made cOlonels but for
You. | sympathize with them, and some
OF them are going to shut their eyes
and close their ears and take you just
like you took them; but it is the thinking
and usually well meaning part of your
supporters that [ ask you to relieve from
embarrassment.
Leetle Shy on Debates.
When you lave accepted my propo-
sition-cleared up all these matters,
made a lot of money for charity-then
challenge both Percy and Alexander for
Joint debates, come to Tupelo and we
VIII give You not only a cordial welcome,
respectful hearing and more people than
can hear you speok, and nothing will be
said or done to offend the sensibiIities
of the most fastidious, and in the con-
seriousness of your own rectitude drive
them from the stump. Do not fear to
draw crowds for them. The larger the
crowd, the more will be your triumph.
What need you fear from having crowds
to hear you demolish Percy and AleXan-
der? You do not distrust your ability
to do it, | am sure. From the cOntemptu-
Gus way in which you mention them,
they certainly cannot amount to much.
Do you distrust your matchless Oratory ?
| have never seen any evidence of the
want of self-conidence on your part
about anything except joint debates. You
seem to be just a 'leetle' shy of them.
A Questionable "Hero."
Il see your friends are advertising you
as the hero of the battleship fund.- the
hero of the contingent fund.- the hero
OF the Spanish-American Wa fund.- and
the hero of the merger bill They have
different ideas Of the definition and the
meaning of the word from that which 1
have always had. What idea can they
have of what it takes to make a hero ?
This all seems absolutely foolish and
silly to me. 1 would be glad if in the
next issue of your paper, you would
explain to me where there has been any
thing heroic in your connection with
either one of these subjects.
$1,000 and Thirty Days Rations.
Nov this is my last suggestion. When
you have cleared YOU skirts of all the
charges and ~insinuations above referred
to, then shed as quickly as possible, some
of your disreputable allies, who are going
the state disgracing it and you.
IF you accept my proposition I will
put up a certified check for the money
and will agree that you or any friend
you may select, who will join with me
in selecting an impartial tribunal to set
tie the questions, the money to go to
any charities you may suggest-the Sol
diers' Home, the Old Ladies' Home, the
Confederate Women's Monument or the
Charity Hospital or any other. And if
you accept all of these propositions and
come clean on all of these charges, l
will do more still will present you
with thirty days r%ations, which you say
you never had at one time.
Respectfully,
JOHN NJ. ALLEN"

A MINISTER'S ESTIMATE
OF SENATOR PERCY

The letter below, written by an emf
nent minister of the North Mississippi
Conference of the NJ. Z. Church, South,
more than n year ago, appeared in a re-
cent issue of the Magnolia News, as fol-
lows:
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 10, 1910.
Hon. J. D. Thames, Jackson, Miss:
Dear Sir and Friend-Having come TO
Jackson to attend the Laymen's Conven.
ton, I have learned with regret that
Hon. Leroy Percy is being opposed fOV
the United States Senate on the ground
that he is an anti-prOhibitionist and not
a man of good character. l rave no dis
position to interfere in the present sem
~atorial contest, and have nothing to say
against any aspirant for the place, but
[ feel that such an attack upon Mr.. Per
cy is wholly unwarranted and unde-
served. For six years 1 lived in Green
vile, and have been closely associated
with Mr.. Percy, and l know him to be
a man of irreproachable integrity and Of
many admirable and noble qualities.
In the discharge of civic duties he has
always moved upon high lines, standing
fearlessly for what he conceived to be
right. Before we had statutory prohibi-
ton he openly proclaimed that he would
not defend any saloon man indicted for a
violation of the law, and strictly adhered
to that course in the practice of his pro-
%fession. When statewide prohibition
went into effect, he delivered a fine adj
dress to a large gathering at the court
house, advocating a strict enforcement of
the law, and made a liberal contribution
to funds raised for that purpose, and to
him, more than to any other man, is due
the fact that Washington county has
been freer from "bling tigers than per-
haps any other county in Mississippi.
When the saloon men tried to open up
across the river, in Arkansas, it was Mr..
Percy who took the matter up and de-
feated their attempt to do so.
Mr.. Percy is a patriotic and public
spirited citizen-clean, brave and manly.
He is perfectly open in what he does,
and there is nothing hidden in his life.
His word can be trusted, and in his pro-
|fessional and business affairs he has
never compromised himself to the slight
est extent. | have seen him stand
against lawlessness in a manner which
challenged my unbounded admiration. As
| nave said, 1 have no wish to interfere
in the present senatorial fght-other
men being in the race whom I admire and
esteem, and who would make able and
worthy SenatOrs-but this attempt to
|~assail Mr.. Percy OF the ground hat he
is a man of bad character is so unfair
and so utterly without justification that
[ want you, as one of his friends, to
know what my estimate of him is. I
have stood shoulder to shoulder with him
in suppressing the Illicit sale of whisky
and in crushing mobism, and know where
of I speak. He may be beaten for the
Senate, but he should not be assailed in
this way. He is a high-minded and
wrothy citizen, and is entitled to the
respect and fair treatment Of all.
With best wishes, [ am, yours re-
specially,
(Signed) R. A. MEEK.

Ia force bill attached, he felt it his
duty to be present and fight this fOroe
bill proposition with all his power.
While Senator Percy was in Mississippi
campaigning the senate was doing moth
awaiting the action of the
House of Representatives on certain
measures, so he has neglected no duty
to the people whatever by being in Mis-
~sissippi. He will return to the campaign
just as soon as he can leave Washing
ton without neglecting his official du-
ties. He will enter just as soon as pos
sible into active canvass of the state,
and will keep it up until the primaries
are held. At Senator Percy's h%eadquar-
tiers the most encouraging news is re-
ceived every day from every section of
the state. His friends are at work and
being inspired by the fact that Senator
Percy is an able, clean, courageous man,
that he has made a brilliant record since
entrance into the Senate a little more
a year ago, and will be the better
e4dpped to serve the people at the close
of his present term of three years than
any new man could nope to be, they are
working with an enthusiasm that means
victory in the Democratic primOry.

Yes, Senator Percy has made a great

with ability, fidelity and courage the
peoples interests since he entered the
United States Senate as the peoples rep
resentative. Then why should he not
be elected for a full term, according to
