REPLY TO RODGERS

ana abuse.

The people of my county and district
know whether or not | have worked
hard and lndustriously to clear UP the
Gockets and cut down expenses: I ey do
not have to 90 to Mr. Rodgers for his
infol nation.
As to court costs for cases transferr-
ed from one county to another, that is
fixed by the Statue, also the comper sa-
ton OF court stenographer, Ike witness
fees, is fixed by law, and the legisla-
ture. not the Judge, mas the power of
changing it.
The Howell case as well as the Cor
don Boyd case. was disposed Of in strict
accordance with law. as is well known
by the able attorneys of the Kosciusko
bar, other than Geo. l.. Teat, who rep
resented the defendants towit: Messrs.
S. l.. Dodd, J. G., Smythe, Crawley &
Glass. | also refer the public to the
able District Attorney Mr. Thad Scott,
of Eupora, for full information.
The report of the last grand jury
shows that the directors of the defunct
c. c. Kelly Banking Co., gave security
to the receiver for the full payment of
all depostors and innocent stock hold
ers. The security given by them to
Mr.. Carr, receiver, for the benefit Of
the depoSltors and innocent stock hold
ers AS shown in Minute Book N" pap Q
55 and Sc of the Chancery Court of At
Gala county, Miss, had nothing to do
with the security given by MIR. Kelly
individually to Geo. L. Teat for at
torney fees.
On account of my being a depositor
and stock holder, as stated by Mr..
Rodgers, | am disqualified, to sit as
Judge, in any criminal prosecution of
the directors; and the fact that Geo.
l.. Teat. was employed by Mr.. Kelly,
and was related to me, is immaterial,
as the case would be tried before an
other Judge.
l wish to say further that ! am not
engaging in campaign of slander and
abuse, and will not do so. The high
Office of Circuit Judge should be filleC
by man whose object and purpose i.
to give the people business ans
economical administration.
If | am that man, then the peopl,
should vote for me; if not then tn e,
should vote for my opponent.
Respectfully,
J. A. TEAT.

terly fighting, beat both his opponents.
The same lesson comes from all over
the state, the Bilbo man was sat upon.
Bilbo's law partner, who was a candi-
date for judge, failed to carry his own
county. Vardamal refuses to give his
opinion as to other candidates and very
wisely states that II am not going to
try to play political boss. Bilbo, in
effect, says | am bigger than jim
Vardaman.
Boys, it is time to open your eyes.
If the good people of the district just
south of US will elect Judge Teat, as
we believe they will on September 8,
they will have wrought a work that
means much toward securing clean
politics and political peace in Missis-
sippi. We will never have political
peace in the state so long as Bilbo is
in the foreground. AS men who sup
ported him before, and as loyal sons
of old Tallahatchie who want to put our
stamp of dlsapproval on the statement
that there were '750 men" in this grand
old county who would shoulder arms"
and undertake to override the verdict
of the court, we ask that tie people
throughout the state wake up and join
Us in saving the state from the blight
Of Bilbo. Let issues, not grievances,
direct the campaign, let the present
and the future. not the past, shape the
result of the next state election. There
are other men against whom there is
not breath of suspicion.
In conclusion, MIR. Editor, we want
to congratulate you you upon the stand
you have taken and the splendid edi-
torials you have so recently given us
along these lines. Cascilla is alright.
Some of the best people in the world
live here. Crops are fairly good and
Providence continues to smile upon US.
What We have said is not in spirit
Of Malice, but in brotherly love. We
have oply the future of our children
and the state at heart.

LEAVES OUT BREWER
AND BnBC.
AIcOrn County Man Discusses State
Politics. Has Decided Opinions.
Editor Grenada Sentinel:

Editor Grenada Sentinel:
confess that there is but little, if
any, choice between Brewer and Biibo.
If Brewer is to be believed Bilbo is
unworthy of the support of any re-
spectacle voter, while on the other
hand Bilbo makes clear case of i'm
peachment against Brewer. | am dis
posed to believe that Brewer correctly
measures Bilbo and that Bilbo has
about located Brewer. Brewer is not
"a candidate for any Office and we are
not much concerned about him and will
only consign him to peaceful political
grave. Bilbo wants to succeed Brewer
and we are interested in him.
No intelligent voter should vote for
Bilbo merely because Brewer has per-
secuted him, for by this means Brewer
would be empowered to choose his own
successor. Who knows that Brewer
tle?. Stranger things have happened in
the foxy game of politics. What reason
does Bilbo give for his election to the
Office OF Governor?
For one thing, he says Brewer has
the white hope of Vardamanism. At
II1lS lIIlc we nave IIO IcdSOil III thiIlh
that Senator Vardaman will be opposed
for reelection unless Bilbo is elected
Governor
The writer has been a supporter of
Senator Vardaman and has never voted
| for Bilbo. If to vote for Bilbo is to
be the measure of ones >>loyalty to
Vardamanism, unhesitatingly give up
my allegiance to the white Chief. !"
1t is, however, my firm conviction that
Vardaman will have no opposition if
Bilbo is defeated-if Bilbo is elected l
as firmly believe that Bilbo will run
against him for the senate. That event
should not cause the friends of Varda-
man to lose any sleep. because Varda-
man can easily defeat Bilbo or any
other possible opponent.
Why should any honest man vote for
Bilbo? What has he ever done, or at
tempted to do. for the people? He en-
trapped Dulaney into bribing him, and
he tried to entrap Castleman. He has
elected himself the chief trapper-he
has established detective bureau, and
yet he has denounced. villified ant
abused detectives. He hurls stink
pot after stink pot at Brewer for EN-
ploying detectives and then calmly ad
mits that he was engaged in the detec
tive business himself. The only differ
ence between him and Brewer seems t
be that Brewer was after q Lieutenan
Governor and Senator, while Bilbo wa
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1914-09-04

folks" Now this is easily explained.
In our opinion Bilbo's home people
know very little about his habits. He
has been away at college, at Wander
5ilt, land was expelled from there, so
we are told Cambridge and other
places, and after finishing at college
was away from home teaching school
and doing other things, and the truth
is he spent very little time among his
home people. They have seen only his
better side. He has played his game
away from home. He showed dispo-
siti0n to study and push forward as
boy, and the fact that he continued to
go to school made people, many people,
ready to help push him along. Almost
any community will try to overlook the
fralties of their own.
But the thing that has given Bilho
his strongest hold on the people is the
deluson that he and -Vardaman stand
together. Is it not a fact that when
Vardaman found he had taken the
Dulaney bribe money that he talked to
BilbO like he was dog? Is it not a
fact that during the sitting of the leg
islature of 1912 that Bilbo made his
brags that he would show Jim Varda-
man that he was not all of it? He did
make such brags. He and his paper,
The Issue, continue to talk the Var
daman- Bilbo faction" in order to hood
wink and deceive the people. Varda-
man has no confidence in him, he be-
lieves that he voted against him in the
''secret caucus" so some mighty good
men tell us. Bilbo knows that unless
he can continue oswing to Vardaman' 8
coat tail that there is no chance for
him.
If the people owed him anything for
"exposing" the "secret caucus" why
they paid that when they elected him
| Lieutenant Governor in 1911. Ii a
merchant would not hire clerk who
/, had been under suspicion about so
many different things, should the peO-
pie elect q man Governor who has been
under suspicion? No, and they won't
do it either. Things are changing.
There are many through this section
who voted for him before who say they
will never do SO again, and there are
none, so far as our knowledge goes,
who voted against him who will not do
so again. If the fellow is innocent he
has been very unfortunate in his COM
pany. If he is innocent he can wait.
He Is yet a young man and If he con-
ducts himself for few years SO as to
blot out the past and merit the conf
depce of the people, then let him come
and ask for the Governorship.
1 He has hurt his cause in this vicinity
Eby butting into other elections, BY
presuming that his followers had no
1 opinions Of their own and were ready
Ito vote for whomsoever he told them.
