stronger IN the state, have not for
saken the cause of Woodrow Wilson,

Man clamor, which some of the lead

sought to precipitate in favor of Os-
Car Underwood of Alabama. viz:

Herald is also squarely planted.

dorsements of his candidacy, but

that such is a reversed order, and
that the selection of our rulers should

Two newspapers in Mississippi. viz:
the Pascagoula Democrat-Star and
the Yazoo Sentinel are rivals for the
honor of being THE first newspa-
pers in the State to declare for Os-
car Underwood for the presidential
nomination. If we are correct on
memory the Star had it onto the
Sentinel by a few weeks, though
possibly for lack of exchange rela-
lions neither one had noticed how
close they showed each other for this
timeliness of declaration. The Her
aid hasn't yet declared for Under
wood for the nomination in 1912 nor
will we do so until compelled to ac-
cept by the overwhelming voice of
the party in state convention assem-
bled, for we are still of the opinion
that he stands no chance at this time
and its but foolishly playingtor Har-
mons benefit for the South to plume
him. Wilson is the man who looms
up bigger each week as the central
figure for present Democratic hope
Of success.
