have heard any expression, that this
speech, as it was published In the
papers of this city, will compare fav-
orablv with any of the deliverances of
the ablest men that Mississippi has
ever produced, and this, both in the
spirit of it and the policies it outlined.
He is a man, who in all my obser-
walton of him, has stood for what is
good and true, in the home, in the
church to which he belongs and the
community in which he lives.
| also believe that If he is elected
he will try to find something good in
somebody. | don't believe that he will
devote his time to, nor waste his ener-
CIV in an everlasting hunt for scoun
drels.
I believe he will do all he can to
make as bright as possible the few
remaining days of the surviving con-
federate soldiers. This is due to the
memory of the thousands who per-
ished on the battle fields of that terri
BILE war. 1t is due to the memory of
the thousands that died in prisons,
and whose bodies are Wondering into
dust. beneath a northern sky. 1t is
not much to the credit of Mississippi
that many of those who are still living
are but little removed from condi-
ton of dependence and want, while
millions are being spent for other
things. Mr.. Tally says that he will
use his best endeavOrs to remedy this
neglect, and BELIEVE HE WILL DO
WHAT HE SAYS.
1t is nv firm belief that his cleo
ton will do more to allay the faction
al strife and bitterness which exists
in our state than would the election
of any other man known to me. For
the above and some other reasons
which | need not mention l will vote
for Mr. Tally.
| note with pleasure and gratitude
what you say of the confidence enter
tanned by many of the good people of
Mississippi, in my judgment and my
integrity.
You are correct in the statement
that l have no political ak to grind
For nearly forty years have had an
office. of more Importance than any
that politics" could give me. And if
this were not true | certainly would
not want one that would carry me to
Jackson. Much as l prize the friend
ship and value the characters or
many of it's noble people, l would not
leave my pecan groves, my farm, my
home and my friends here and place
myself in that hell-hole of political tur-
moil, strife, vituperation, abuse and
hate, if the people of Mississippi would
give me the state house and all there
is in sight of it.
Thanking you for the expressions
of personal regard contained in your
letter and with best wishes, | remain,
Yours to serve,
(Signed) l.. E. Hall.

Dear Sir
During the memorable campaign of
1911, | read a number of able articles
N the State papers, from your pen, In
the support of the candidacy of Sena-
tor Vardaman. and condemning the
secret caucus crowd in the State OF
Mississippi
In the campaign for Governor now
on in the State, have read nothing
from YOU, but have been informed that
you are supporting John r. Tally, OF
Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for Governor
Many of our people believe that Mr..
Bilbo is the logical man for Governor
this time, as he was with us, body and
soul, in the last campaign. Now, if
you are supporting Mr.. Tally, and you
have any good reasons why it would
be to the best interest of the State to
elect him Governor, I, and many 9th
ers, would be glad to have you give
them to us through the press. If you
consent to do so, you have my permis-
sion to publish this inquiry, which, |
assure you, is written by one who is
seeking light on the subject.
The people of this State know that
you have no political ak to grind. They
know you to be a man of wide expert
ence, and sound judgment, and they
have unbounded confidence in your in
tegrity; and in these times, when so
many voters are liable to be influenced
by selfishness or prejudice. l think you
owe it to yourself, and to the people
of the State to give us the benefit of
your opinion on these matters.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) j. M. Sartin.

Hon. j. NJ. Sartin,
Collins, Miss.
Ny dear Sir
Your favor of recent date has been
received and beg to say that you are
correct as to my intention to vote for
Mr.. J. R. Tally, for Governor of Missis-
sippi. Some of my reasons for doing
so are personal and some are not.
Mr.. Tally is my neighbor, citizen
of the city in which / live. He is also
distantly related to my family. For
these personal reasons, all things else
being equal, l would give him my sup
port. However, l have reasons that
are more important than any of mere
personal consideration.
Mr.. Tally is man of very superior
ability. He is we'll educated, has a
mind thoroughly disciplined and he
has the courage to act when duty di-
reefs. No one who will read, with an
unbiased mind, the speech with which
he opened his campaign in this city,
will doubt these statements. 1t is al
most universally conceded, so far as
