There has been much specula-
ton. mud-slinging and az sorts
Of things carried on in the lss;
race, for the governorship. In
many respects this race was the
most unique in the history of the
state. The old ringsters AMI
bosses who were put oct % busi-
ness in 1911 again tried 70 reassert
themselves and fool the people.
They worked every sort OF scheme
They began by getting out every
possible man for governor: they
tried more than thirty: they
Enauy landed four who wous 4

secret caucus crowd would sup

Until the last days then threw

Up and went % the POLLS. Poor
old Quinn, Tally. and Stovali
were torn % peices; they did not
get a respectable vote for any
Office in the peoples gift. That
vas good enough for them: they
knew this crowd would do them

ton run ahead Of their sense. In

desert their old friends. the
Nsrc2mar people, and % of with

had as their slogan peace ana

Well, its a sure thing their vote
shows they do not belong TO any
"fsctiOn" now they thought they
did however. They thought they
wonld get Gov. Brewers support
and the old "secret caucus"
crowd But they were fooled. +
We can't sympathize with them. /
They got what they deserved. +
They forgot that you can't fool
the people any more. They for /
got that the people of the state
know that no man who stands by 4
the principles for which Jas. K. /
Vardaman fought for can go
along and fool the people. The Z
people are wise; they have been /
'stang" by the enemies Of good
governuent-the old secret eau
Gus crowd and you may res. as
sured that al the wiles and
schemes that can be thought up
by this Old down and out bunch /
won't fool the people any more. F,
This same old crowd are begin
ming now to get up some other
scheme To get back into power
the next four years. But the
people must not be fooled. They
viii not De. Whenever you see
that old crowd backing anybody
in the " ears 10 come, vote against
that man. He is en- enemy to
good government make no peace
with such al enemy. Some peo-
pie tight awhile then let the enc
my fool them. That must not be
the case; no good can come out
of any of that old crowd that
robbed the people in 1911 and
tried the same trick this year
the people must watch them il
all times 10 come. They arr
lined up; they were in this coun-
ty; they are everywhere; the,
won't vote for any man great O.
small that is not in their crowd
then why affiliate with them
The thing to do is to whip then
: to fragile every e;thatis til
q way to do them. Good govern
ment demands that.
