me 81 their little fellows out TO
peak and lhsy get their little
,rowd Of rooters around and clap
their hands ard think they have
!one aereat deal, then they get
their prejudiced little reporter to
write up the meeting as a GREAT
victory when the truth is there
il nothing to the whole matter.
The people have found out the
last few years that such papers
as the Commercial Appeal and
other large dailies cannot be
relied upon; they persist in dis
torting the facts You will re-
member that when Bilbo spoke
out at the Camp Ground some
years ago 10 several hundred
people and there was not exceed
ing one dozen against him there
yet the reporter for the Com
mercial Appeal wrote a long
rigmarole that Bilbo made a
failure, that the whole people was
against him and that he would
get nothing. The people rose IN
and protested against this false
hood and made this unfair paper
publish this. The same thing
occurred last week at Tula. The
report went out that Riley had
done SO and so that he had made
many friends, that sentiment was
turned largely in his favor that
many claim he would carry this
and all such rot as that
when every one knows that only
the small anti Bilbo crowd were
for Riley--too small to count, that
be did not get single vote that
ever voted for Bilbo and be never
xill-just the same old secret
caucus" crowd misrepresenting
he facts again. The ants don's
are for Riley-they are for JUST
SYBoDY to beat Bilbo. They
re FOR anybody; they are just
CAIssT BiLso. And that sort of
fight never won and never will.
GU Tot only have to be against
,mebody but you must be FOR
,mebody-in this race the ants
e not FOR their man; they are
Ist AGAINST BILBo. And the
orst beaten set you ever saw
i'll learn their fate about ten
clock on the night Of Aug. 3rd.
Bilbo has been prosecuted: his
nemiss acknowledge be has
made good; they also say that he
las more good business sense
han all the rest; they say he is
qualified by education. training
and experience TO properly fill
he Office but the same old gang
That has been lighting Vardaman
and Bilbo are against him now
and they will continue to be be-
cause they believe in ring rule
and bossism.
Bilbo grove stronger every day
ard the methods being used by
Gov. Brewer as the leader Of the
anti crowd OF candidates has dis
gusted all fair minded men with
these tactics and Bilbo's vote viii
far exceed that in 1911. The
people stand for square deal;
Biibo has never been accorded
that by some people and many o
his old enemies now see theil
error and are supporting him. H
has lost no friends-now ans
then some poor soul that is in til,
hands OF some ring5ter has got /
little job and is obeying som

few aud the people have his mum

Bilbo is the peoples friend an
they know it; the other candi
dates with the exception of StoN
all won't tell where they stand
they are dodgers and straddIers
they are trying to fool the people
they are backed only By the san
old ''secret caucus" crowd tina
dragged this state INTO sham

Let the people stand oy Biibo
they will do it: they will Civ
this same old crowd Of bosses til
greatest drubbing they ever q
