Manager Schilling of the Green

arranged to give the patrons of his
place a full and complete telegraphic
report of the election next Tuesday
night.
The picture show will be given as
usual, but during the show reports
will be coming in over a private wire
in the theatre and will be announced
by megaphone. This will not inter.
fere with the pictures, as the tele-
graph instrument will be in a seclud-
ed place and we'll shaded.
At the conclusion of the pictures
a big blackboard will be put up in
place of the picture v and the
results thrown on the black screen.
The service to be furnished will be
that which is disseminated by the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
and will be as authentic as can be had
from any source.
Mr.. Schilling says the crowd may
remain all night Tuesday if i, takes
that long to determine "who IS who.'

Hon. Alfred w. Bean, a strong
supporter Of Senator Vardaman and
the talented editor of the Amory
Times, one Of Monroe county's lead
ing newspapers, make the following
encouraging comment on the politi-
cal outlook in his section Of the state:
Theodore Bilbo may be the next
governor Of Mississippi; We don't
claim to know about it, but there is
one thing we will stake hope Of
fame on, and that is that If he has
lost in every county in the state like
hs has IN 1ttawarnba, Lee and Mon

QUIN RECEIVES OVATION IN
BILBO'S HOME TOWN

P~oplarville, Miss, July 2S.-H. M.
Quin, candidate for governor, filled
his engagement here today. He was
met at the train by the w. o. w.
brass band and a large number of cit.
liens, and at 8 o'clock was escorted
to the court house, which was filed
to overlooking, where he delivered his
campaign address. His speech i'm.
pressed his hearers and an ovation
was given him at the conclusion. Mr..
Quin will undoubtedly get a large per
cent of the votes Of this section, de-
spite the fact that this is Bilbo's home
town and county.

GOVERNOR BREWER TELLS THE PEOPLE WHERE
TONY Hid H WEDGE.

Okolona, Miss, July 27--Governor
Earl Brewer spoke here today to .
crowd of several thousand enthusi-
astic voters. It was By far the largest
assembly that has taken place IN
Chickasaw county during the state
During the our Of his speech the
governor announced that he was GO
ing TO tear away the mask of hypoc-
risy and state some plain facts hith-
erto unrevealed to the people of Mis-
sissippi. He said:
NY fellow citizens, some time since
I told you in q speech that Blbo had
received 500 from Vardaman's cam
paign committee, and he took this
500 from Vardaman's committee an
nouncing that there was nothing IN
the election of Vardaman 10 the
senate for him,and unless Vardaman's
friends would do something for him
he would desert their ranks at the
very minute Vardaman needed him
most. I told you if you had any doubt
about this to write to Major Arm
strong and many people wrote to
him and he replied that / told the
truth. Now since this letter came
out from Major Armstrong there has
been deceit practiced by Bilbo and
his friends to deceive the public.
Nov ! am going to strip the mask
off of it q little further and give you
a little plain English about it. I am
going to tell you that they paid him
the money, that Vaughn Watkins
chairman Of the Vardaman campaign
committee drew the 500 out Of the
bank, out Of the funds Of the commit
tee and wrote on the stub of the
check the words-"For God Knows
What" and turned the money over
to John Armstrong. | got it from

Watkins is a truthful and reliable
gentleman and l do not believe he
| will lie about it. / make this charge
straight from the bat, and I promise
| MI. Watkins that if he does deny it
will prove it. Now Bilbo in his letter
lodges the issue. DIR. Ward in his
letter lodges the issue. He does not
deny that he had a conversation with
Armstrong just as Armstrong said
he did, but tries to mislead you by
other prejudicial matter he injects in
to his reply. If you have doubts
about Armstrong having had the con.
versation with him just as Armstrong
said he did, write to Charlie Waite,
who formerly worked in the Kelly
drug store at Winona, and who was
present when the conversation was
held between Armstrong and DR..

COUNTY CANDIDATES

The Commonwealth has made it a
rule never to take sides in the matter
of the election of county officers. The
men who offer for these positions are
usually first class gentlemen who are
well known to the voters, and practi-
cally every one of them are our per-
sonal friends; therefore, we deem it
improper and unnecessary to try to
dictate to the voters whom they
should elect as their county officials.
This policy has been u invariable
rule.

VOTER GIVES GOOD REASONS FOR OPPOSING
RUSSELL o LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

GreenWood, Miss. July %, 1915.
Tp the Voters Of Mississippi:
! As q voter wishing to do my duty
at the polls on the Bird of August, and
disregarding the question as to whom
shall support as Governor, / have
thinking of the question of the
of q Lieutenant Governor,
! want to cast my vote so that I
may WELD the greatest influence for
good upon the people of the State.
Both of the candidates are young men
with no great amount of experience.
Bunyan Carter seems to have led an
honest life, and l heard Of but
one charge being brought against him,
and hat was by Lee Russell, his op-
ponent, who accused him of stealing q
bill in a public speech at Mize, but it
seems the people resented this in such
a decisive manner that Russell has
not repeated the charge, and it seems
to have fallen fiat. Young Carter
seems to be making a desperate fight
to climb up from the very humblest
walks of life to hold the second high
est office in the gift of the people. II
he can succeed in this by clean peli-
tics it will be like q beacon light to
III poor boys in Mississippi, and it
makes no difference how poor, be-
cause they would have no advantage
of Carter in that regard, but they
may turn their eyes to what Carter
did and try to do likewise. It is
said of the other man, Russell, that
he is a man of means; that he owns
the opera house in his city, enjoys q
large and lucrative law practice, and
I wouldn't do him an injustice for
anything on earth, but as a matter
of record he has been indicted in his
county by the grand jury for fraud
ulent practice; as a matter of fact
there has been a motion made before
the Federal Court in his county to
disbar him from the practice of law,
and the learned judge who was his
friend, after hearing all the testimo-
ny, said that he vas going to give
him the benefit Of the doubt, hoping
that he would improve by the lesson,
and overruled the motion; but also
stated that there were many ugly
and shady transactions Of which he
was guilty, but that he would give
him the benefit of the doubt, hoping
that he would improve, and overruled
the motion. Now it is a fact that
Russell got up on the floor of the Sen.
ate in Mississippi and made a speech
that offended his people at home, and
a statement was written up announc.
ing that he was unworthy of belief
and mailed to the Mississippi Senate
and read on the floor of the Senate
and this was signed by every lawyer
in the city where he lived, except his
law partner, by nearly every bust,
ness man in the city where he lived
and by every minister Of the gospel
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and
the Rector of the Episcopal Church
Now, we are not unmindful Of the
fact that the Mississippi Senate tried
a feeble white-wash resolution 70,

rover the ground. Nov, up ii Tate
county there ara ! number Of peo-
pie who assert that Nj. Russell vas
employed to prosecute three men for
. felony, and that some friends and
Of the man whom he was
prosecuting went out and took Mr..
Russell to one side and gave him
money TO throw his client down and
permit the defendants TO get out. and
that he accepted the money and did
throw his client down and really had
to turn around and help the defend
ants. Now, I don't know whether
this is true or not, but there are GOOD
men, good substantial farmers in Tate
county, who have made afidavits to
The truthfulness of, and make no
bones in stating it now publicly.
Again, over in Lafayette county there
was q case over q drainage district
tried in the Chancery Court, and Nj.
Russell and his law partner, Falkner,
were the lawyers on one side Of the
s and they lost the case in the
Chancery Court and wanted to ap-
peal to the Supreme Court and one
of the farmers who had been in IA
vor OF Mr.. Russell's side Of the case
testified that he was approached by
Mr.. Russell and was asked to sign an
appeal bond and that he declined to
do it. But shortly afterwards the
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court and this farmer and four other
farmers found out that their names
appeared on this appeal bond with
out their knowledge or consent, and
filed a petition before the Chancery
Court in Lafayette county to have
their nanes stricken from the bond
because their names were put upon
the bond by forgery and fraud. The
Chancellor went fully into the matter
and had the testimony of all the law
yers, and among other things, Mr..
Russells law partner, Mr.. Falkner,
testified that the names Of the parties
were signed to the bond in the hand
writing of Mr.. Russell, and the Chan
:ellor entered q solemn decree of the
court to the effect that these peoples
names were forged to this bond with
out their knowledge or consent, and
that it was done by Mr.. Russell, and
issued an order to take their names
off of the bond. It should be need
less to enumerate the many other
things that are characteristic of this
young man Russell, but suficeth it to
say | do not believe it would be con.
ducive to good morals or be settina
the right example before the youth
of the country to cast my vote 70,
Russell, and without expressing my
opinion as to how I stand for Cover.
nor, / will say that / believe that ]

BILBOITES ADMIT SECOND
PRIMARY

The Biloxi Daily Herald Of the 9Th
inst. contains the following signif-
cant political u~tterances from the sea-
That Quin will lead Riley in the
race for governor so far a. Biloxi is
is the general opinion that
is being expressed in political circles
in this city at the present time. It
is admitted, however, that political
events in the state, or indications
from interior towns Of the growing
strength of Riley, may result in the
switching of votes to the man from
Natchez. AS the electors now line up
there are indications that Quin is by
Tar the stronger of the two candidates
IN the gubernatorial race in Biloxi,
although neither of the candidates
has n active working organization
In this city. Quin has many friends
In Biloxi who will vote for him for
ms w sake. while, apparently, the
Riley strength is anti-Bilbo. Should
indications point to the possibility of
GUMS nomination there is certain to
be q further swinging of many votes
to Quin, as the anti-Bilbo crowd in
this city have no especial preference
in the race except to defeat the man
from Pearl River county.
Second Primary Predicted
Even Bilbo supporters in Biloxi ad-
NIT that Bilbo can not win in the first
primary. They state that there will
be q second primary and that either
Quin or Riley will go into the second
primary. g
Bilbo's supporters in this city state
that Quin is the strongest man for
Bilbo in the second primary. They
believe that if Quin goes into the
second primary that he will have a
chance to win. If Riley goes into the
second primary with Bilbo, it is stat
ed by followers of Bilbo here that
Bilbo will win. Anti-Bilbo >oters in
Biloxi also believe hat there is a
better chance for defeating Bilbo if
Quin goes into the second primary
with him. Few indeed are the pre-
dictions here that Bilbo will win in
the first primary. "It is not within
the range of possibility for Bilbo to
win in the first primary" said an as
tute political observer of Biloxi to-
day.
Change of Spirit
No doubt exists that there has been
a change in the spirits of Bilbo's fol-
lowers in Biloxi during the last few
weeks. Up until recently they de-
clared that he would win in the first
primary, but it is practically conceded
even among his most enthusiastic
supporters that there will be a second
primary and that their favorite will
have three more weeks Of fighting
after August 8.
The chief feature of interest now
among all politicians and those inter-
ested in politics is as to who will op.
pose him in the second primary and
there is much difference of opinion
as to whether that man will be Quin
or Riley. The run-off is, therefore,
the main event toward which all eyes
are turned, with the exception of the
wonder as to whether Speaker Quin
or Marion w. Riley will follow Bilbo
in the second race.
