hearty sympathy uith them, 10 is part
o his nAsase, He spent the entire
day "a oar towu, and the whole time
be was surrounded by country people
and every Que felt as free and easy
and as much al home with Riley as
we're he an old friend and neighbor.
Aud the wives and daughters OF our
farmers we're enthusiastic for him as
the men, and If the ladies who heard
his speech or met him had vote Ri
ley would be unanimously elected our
next Governor Very few people in
town Saturday but hunted him up and
pledged their support. Had hand
primary been taken after Riley's Sec
ond speech from that wagon in front
OF the Hotel Alice, we do not believe
there was a dozen farmers but would
have pledged him their support. Even
the town people who we're for Quin
confessed that thecountry people had
made no mistake when they took up
and espoused the cause of Riley.
And there is no question about Ma
rion w. Riley being the farmers can
didate, for they first discovered that
brilliant young orator, ran the meet
| ing and took him in hand after the
speaking, and had entire charge Of
him whilo here. our town folks had to
take back seats and look on. Uncle
Jimmie Taylor, farmer, introduced
Riley, and il was the farmers day Il
You saw no corporation lawyers
boosting Riley and running his meet
ing like they did Bilbo at Laurel. We
understand, when Mr.. Riley spoke on
Friday night at Laurel that arrange
ments had been made that corpora
ton lawyer "a most worthy entleman)
introduce him TO the audience. But
the proposition was vetoed II was
shown that every corporation lawyer
in Laurel was committed to Bilbo an d
lighting Riley; that Riley was strictly
the peoples candidate and could new
be used by corporations, and he In
tends that his campaign be run by
men in full sympathy with the masses
and not corporate influences.
And another remarkable thing with
Mr.. Riley: We never knew a man
with such a wonderful memory for
names and faces. He was introduced
to hundreds OF country people, and
when he met one a second time he at
once called his name. He shook hands
and chatted with great many ladies
from the country, and could pick out
every face In the court house when he
spoke, the room being packed.
Mr.. Riley is chivalrous Southern
gentleman and he shows 1t by his eve-
| nv word and movement. When our
farmers take up aud advance such
seli-made men as Riley they are open
ing a road for their own sons to be
among the rulers of the land.
Mr.. Riley is notifying to climb In
to Office by clingingto any mans coat
tail. While he has always been a
stauuch friend and supporter OF Sen
ater vardeman-fghting in the rank:
OF the people In their political battle
I-he says he is making the race foi
Governor on his own record and mer
| its, and not through others.
To show what an impression Riley
made upon our farmers and country
people, many could not .get standing
room in the court house and so die
not hear him. His fame as an orator
spead around town like wilddre, ant
after dinner, when he appeared upoI
the street, Mr.. Riley was seized by hi
admirers, hoisted upon a country
wagon, and the crowd demanded an
other speech, and which he made. He
is a born orator, is never at loss fol
word, and an uubroken stream o
, eloquence flowed from his lips LIKE
{ water pouring over dam. Missisis
sippi has never produced a NOR
. heart thrilling and convincing Orato
, than Marion w Riley, and what il
