To His Excellency, Earl Brewer, Gov
ernor Of the State of Mississippi:
The petition Of the undersigned re-
specially represents that Charlie Ruck-
er was indicted for murder at the Jan
uary Term, A. d, 1912, of the Circuit
Court of Lehore County, Mississippi,
that he was convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to imprisonment in the
county )ail for one year. This petition
further represents that the said Char
lie Rucker was not guilty of either
murder or manslaughter, and that the
killing for which he was convicted was
purely accidental, that there were many
mitigating circumstances, that the said
Charlie Rucker has always been a law
abiding citizen, and had never been
previously convicted of any crime, and
that he has been sufficiently punished
to meet the ends of justice.
Wherefore, the premises considered,
your petitioners pray that a pardon be
granted to the said Charlie Rucker.
Respectfully submitted,

election day there will pour in to the
ballot boxes of Missouri such a cur
rent of votes that the flood of mega
tive votes shall bury forever the prop
osition to set the lands of Missouri
apart as base and afflicted class of
property and mark its owners as vic
Tins for another and favored class
who reap the benefit of a penalty inn
posed upon the owners of land for
belonging to that class who feed the
world. Let the farmers and land
owners Of Missouri organize and
make their appeal to every voter in
this state to the end that an aroused
sense of fairness expressed at the
ballot box shall demand and supply
equal rights to all in the matter of
taxation in Missouri.
WATT B. DAWSON.
