Platform For Yazoo
County Representative
Pledges His Best Efforts to Look After
the Best Interestc of Taxpayers.
To the Voters Of YazOO County.

To the Voters Of YazOO County:
| am a candidate for Representa-
tive. want to be eleted, not only
to crafty a worthy ambition, but
because believe / can be Of real
service to the people Of Yazoo County,
among whom / have lived for the
past twenty-three years, and whom ]
have learned to esteem and love as
among the best people on earth.
In my announcement card in the
local papers some time ago, briefly
outlined my platform, and there is
little to add to what | have already
said. have not undertaken to make a
use-to-house canvass, but to those
whom / have not seen personally, l
wish to say that while / do not think
it necessary to moke a lot Of pre- elec-
ton promises, do want to pledge
myself, if elected, to put in my en-
tire time looking after the interests
of the people Of Yazoo County.
/ believe that the best lawmaker is
not the man who tries to get in the
limelight by introducing a lot Of
foolish bills just to gain notoriety.
We now have more laws than we need.
What we need is better enforcement
Of the laws we have. However, when
ever a meritorious bill comes up for
consideration, shall give same my
most careful attention, studying its
good points and its bad points, and
lending my support to every measure
that believe to be for the best inter
ests Of the taxpayers Of Mississippi.
For several years there has been
a movement on foot for the estab-
Iishment Of q Juvenile Reformatory.
There is no doubt in the world that
many maynard boys and girls could
be saved and made useful men and
women if they had a fair chance to
have their energies directed into the
right channels. In the interest Of
common humanity, these children
should have some place where they

and just to give one member of this
family the best office in the County
FOR life than to deed one child all you
have to the exclusion Of other deserv-
ing children. Elections are required
by law every four years that these OPP
portunities may pass from one tax
payer to another.
II we indulge the sentiment of Civ
ing this Office to the Confederate SOL
der, why give it to one all the time.
We may never finish paying off ALL
the Confederate soldiers, but we can
certainly finish paying off ONE.
One of them told me the other day
that he had been hesitating between
sentiment and right, but had decided
to do what he thought was right,
and vote for me, for he could then de-
fend his position. A number Of them
have told-me that they had large fam
lilies, and would be satisfied with one

could have the advantage Of moral
training, apart from association with
hardened criminals, as is necessary
under the present system.
So, as your Representative, / will
favor a bill Of this kind, II properly
drawn.
! I shall favor economy in public ex-
penditures. / believe that on the
whole, the appropriations are too
large, and while | shall favor appro-
priations sufficient to properly take
care Of our public institutions, will
use my best endeavor to see that the
appropriations are well within the
actual needs Of the necessary opera
ton Of these public institutions.
! shall also oppose the creation Of
any more Offices. We have too many
officers now, and | believe that some
Of them could be consolidated or abol-
ished altogether without detriment to
the public business.
The question Of a proper adjust
ment Of taxes, so that the burdens
should fall equally upon the rich man
as well as the toiler, Is one that
should command the best thought Of
the Legislature, and It shall be my
aim to study the question carefully.
and to favor any reasonable and fes-
sible plan that win offer q fair and
satisfactory adjustment Of the ques-
ton.
/ believe that the position Of Il gis-
lator is one Of responsibility and
trust, and II / am elected as your
Representative, I shall devote to the
work my very best thought and ef-
fort. I do not look upon the posi-
ton as an occasion FOR a good time
while in Jackson, but as one which
requires WORK, and my aim shall be

Brother Gillespie; the worry is all on

is true and we reiterate that if the

and as il viii be on August Srd, Bilbo

Hon. Hilrie NJ. Quin is one of the
best men in the race for the governor
ship. He has made a good record as a
legislator, having been speaker Of the
House, and his life is free from crook
ed entanglements, politically or other

he is a giant. Had the anti-Bilbo
