TO the Voters Of Leflore County:
Il has been my purpose since
my announcement as q candidate
for the office Of County Prose-
cutting Attorney to see every
voter in the county personally,
and especially during the past few
weeks have been successful in
my endeavor to present to almost
every voter in the county my
claims, and by August 3rd, will
practically have seen them all,
and have acquainted them with
my views respecting this office
and as to the manner in which as
county attorney | should conduct
its affairs.

Of three present aspirants, as l
felt that the close race ran for
the office four years ago between
the present incumbent, (who is
not aspiring for re-election), and
myself, was proper and sufficient
encouragement for me to again
ask for the honor. entered the
race upon the suggestion of
friends who believed that | could
and would fill the office with sat-
isfaction and credit to all con-
cerned, and / am in no sense a
factional candidate. In aspiring
for this office | took the step with
the full consciousness that it in
vited critical inquiry as to past
record and present fitness for
same. felt that my past expe-
rience as County Attorney and
six years of active practice of law
in some measure qualified me to
properly discharge the duties of
this important office. In my
opinion this office is a very inn
p0rtant one, and requires the
best services that can be given if
its affairs are to be properly con-
Quoted. If elected, / faithfully
promise to devote such time and
energy to the office as may be
necessary to an efficient DISPOSE
ton of its business. Private bust.

the nomination on a high and honor
able plane, and for my opponent l
have not expressed, nor do enter

While l have been among the vot-

every voter to keep in mind that /
will appreciate his support, and that l
am ambitious to be the next senator

ton is based upon good hope, for

of the people along social, economic,
industrial and educational lines; that
he should have training and capacity
that will enable him to solve intelli-
gently the many perplexing and far
reaching problems with which he will
have to deal, having always before
him the vision of a happy, prosperous
and progressive Mississippi. I am
conscious of my own shortcomings
and limitations, but from my youth
have tried to train and equip myself
to be of assistance in the advance
ment of my native state and in the
solutions of the problems that affect
the welfare of the people.
Merit, integrity and capacity are
the standards by which the candidates
should be measured, for in casting

to discharge a sacred duty TO his
county and state. l, therefore. have
no right to ask Or expect your vote

at least partially, for the discharge Of
the duties and responsibilities Of the
important Office to which aspire.
The imperative need Of our state
is not so much more laws, but better
laws. The laws already enacted
should be more loyalty respected and
more rigidly enforced.
believe that the need for making
a few vital laws, and the enforcement
of the laws already made. is greater
than the need for making many new
laws.
