Grenada Seminal:

Last Saturday the Hon. John r.
Tally of Hattiesburg formally threw
his hat in the ring as candidate for
Governor His home paper, The Daily
News, in speaking of his candidacy
says Mr.. Tally states:
Here l am; invite your inspection.
l open my life-book to be read of all
, men. My private life and public char
acter is subject to investigation. II
you find aught in it that reflects upon
my character as an honest man; any
thing that would render me unworthy
, the honor | ask at your hands; any
! thing that would cause a blush to
mantle the cheeks of any Mississipian
at the mention of my name as Cover
nor of this proud state, then it is not
only your privilege, but your duty to
yourself, to posterity and to your state,
to prefer someone more worthy; but
If from the reading of my lifebook
you find that l have been true to the
talents heretofore committed to my
charge; If you find that l have been
faithful to the trusts that have been
committed to my keeping; and if, judg-
ing my future by my past, (as you
have a right to Judge the future of all
men by their past records,) you think
am capable and worthy the highest
office and greatest honor in your pow
err to give, then ask your support, and
pledge myself to my best efforts to be
faithful to the trust you repose in me. -

Tupelo Review.

Hon. j. R. Tally of Hattiesburg last
week announced his decision to make
the race for governor of the state. He
is recognized as an able lawyer and a
fluent and convincing speaker. Mr..
Tally came into prominence in the
memorable senatorial campaign of
1911, when he stumped the state in the
interest of the candidacy of Ex-Gov'
ernor James K. Vardaman, and per
haps did as much as any other man
in the Vardaman ranks to carry the
banner of their chief to overwhelming
victory. Mr.. Tally is a self-made man
is popular with the masses, and the
prediction is that the man who beats
him for governor will have to get VI

The following letter was received

early does not mean he will begin an
active campaign at once, but that he
merely makes the announcement at
this time SO that his thousands OF
friends throughout the state will be
aware of his intentions. Rumors have
been going the rounds for months that
he would be a candidate and others to
the effect that he would not. The re-
suit of all this hearsay was to place
Mr.. Tally In an uncertain position with
his friends, and the announcement was
made at this time to set at rest these
rumors and to make certain Mr. Tally's
intentions.
Mr.. Tally is a self-made man who
has risen to his present high position
as a barrister entirely through his own
efforts. Although he was compelled
to teach school and follow other pur-
suits for years in order to obtain the
money to pursue his law studies and
did not, on account of these delays,
begin the practice of law until he was
81 years old, he is recognized as one
of the best and most able members OF
the legal profession in the state. MT
Tally is a gentleman and a scholar
and a man who would undoubtedly
grace the position to which he aspires
