The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-07-23

To the People of Grenada County:
The Reilly Club of Grenada county
know that most of you will be glad
when the primaries are had and when
this election is over. There has been
so much turmoil and so much strife
and bitterness that the quiet, orderly
citizen shrinks back from the events
incident to an election in Mississippi
This very fact has been and was one of
the prime motives in prompting US to
enlist for the election of MARION w.
RELY to the Governorship of the
state. His nomination for Governor
will do much to restore political peace
in our borders. We cannot succeed in
our business and cannot make the
progress and advancement as a peorle
that We should when one half Of the
state are, fguratively speaking at the
othsr half's throat. To insure political
peace we must retire him on those who
are the sources of the bitterness. The
state of Mississippi does not OWE Of
flee to any man but is to the interest Of
all the people that that man be chosen
Governor who will meet the duties Of
the great Office honestly, fearlessly,
wisely and with an eye single to the
general bettermeut of the state. 1t is
hardly possible for men to forget their
differences. regardless of the basis or
merit of those differences, when the
name and personality Of the one caus
ing the disagreement is kept constant
ly in the foreground.
| The personal misfortunes of any man
are not evidences of craftsmanship nor
! do they warrant him in imposing him.
self upon the political charity and in
diligence of sentimental and indulg
ent public.
1t is not our purpose to attempt to
point out delii.quencies in the lives and
and character of any one of the candi-
dates for Governor You know them.
You have not been asleep to what has
been transpiring in the few years or
months past. You know in your own
heart and mind what you would do if
lyou were selecting man to look after
some business matter for you, We
think it but just and right to ask that
for office that the thoughtful farmer
or merceant applies when employing a
man to perform some important work
for him.
In supporting MIR. Reilly we believe
we are supporting the candidate in
this contest best suited for the time.
He is honest. His neighbors and old
friends say so. He has made good in
whatever he has undertaken; his record
and his neighbOrs say so. He has led q
clean private life; his neighbors say so.
. He has the force of character, the abil
ity and the special administrative power
to meet the trying duties of the Gov
ernor's office; even his political enemies
say 50. He came up under adversitie:
and is therefore in position to see hu
man needsas they really are and t.
I Justly appreciate the burdens of tn,
(. unfortunate in life. He will do his eve
! best to heal the wounds that are sap
| ping the vitality of the state and max
/. ing of Mississippi the object of ridicul,
! in other parts of the United States
| We believe he will MAKE ALL the peo
| pie good Governor.

I the state to the other several time
