TO THE VOTERS Or RANKIN
COUNTY.

The election for representative
is drawing near, Mr.. Ware and
myself being the contestants,
and in view of the many unfoun-
ded reports that usually arise in
politics and contests of this kind
just before the final vote is taken
and at too late a date to be refu-
ted by the party, that they are
intended to injure, | wish to
make this statement to the Sow
erign voters of Rankin County:
Gent: You have heard me on
the stump with 7 other contes-
tants all over the county and |
am still imbued with the same
motives and principles which has
heretofore Characterized my cam
.paign, honesty, frankness and
fairness, | have expressed my
self to you on all matters per-
tanning to the campaign, in Ian
guage and terms that the simp-
lest mind can understand and I
ask you gentlemen to do by me
as you would be done by, in case
of any reports being circulated
on me with reference to my
change of attitude in the matter
of the New County or any other
pledge that | have made you.
regret the necessity of hav-
ing to again refer to the New
County Issue, but in the light
of present events, and recent de-
velopements, when my charac-
ter is being assassinated for po-
liticaf purposes, | make an ap-
peal to the intelligent honest,
God fearing people of Rankin
County, to believe me that |
have made no trade pledge or
promises, except what | have
made from the stump, and by
the help Of my maker | will
stand squarely on them.

I understand that there has

with the people of Beat | to

want to say to you, in justice to
him and to the people of this
Beat that there is not one iota of
truth in such statement. | know
that I voice the sentiment Of

If back taxes are honestly due, / pro-
pose to collect them, but pledge my
self not to injure the State by taking
advantage of technicalities or in any

the duty of auditing counties by putting
them on a uniform system of accoun-
ting and installing the same system of
carbon, or duplicate, records that the
big business interest use, having the
countiea send these records to the
Jackson office, and through this medi
UNI keep all the counties checked up at

from taxation, rather than merely to
detect it after if has happened? If pri-

be, as strictly attended to? 1t can be

To the Voters of Rankin County:
desire to express my thanks
to you for the majority given me
in your county in the first pri-
mary, and to express the hope
that I may have even larger
vote in the second primary in
my race for Railroad Commits
sioner. | owe much to the
friends | have made in the cam
paign, and ask their continued
support until the final count on
the oath. | trust the voters will
not be lead away from the true
issue in this race, which is, the
fitness of the candidate for the
office of Railroad Commissioner.
You should be concerned only in
selecting a man who is able,
honest, sober, energetic and
faithful to the people. Don't be
mislead by any vote-catching
clap-trap Ethat is Thrown at you,
or any appeal to your prejudices.
My opponent has seen fit to
circulate all over the District
just before the first primary the
statement that the railroads are
spending money to defeat him.
There isn'ta syllable of truth in
that statement; and he has been
told so by me time and time a.
gain and yet he continues to
make the assertion. No public
service corporation is spending
one cent on me, and | am not al
lied or affiliated with any of
them in any way. If am cleo
ted..I will be the servant of the
people, and owe my allegiance
only to them.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
FIRST DISTRICT OF
MISSISSIPPI.

NY attention has been called
to some claims which are being
made by Hon. Geo. R. Edwards,
McCool, Miss, candidate for
Railroad Commissioner from this
district. Mr.. Edwards claims to
be a great friend to the toiling
masses and to have their interest
at heart always and to be ever
alert in advocacy of their cause.
wish to state that | am sales
agent and manager of the New
ton Truck Growers Association,
of Newton, Miss, and we handle
large quantities of truck to be
disposed of in the Northern
Markets. Good freight rates
and reasonable icing charges are
essential to our success. We are
making a desperate effort to get
freight rates and icing charges
put in which would be fair and
equitable to the growers. In
our efforts to this cause we
found that the Hon. Geo. R.
Edwards appeared to think of
the toiling masses only when he
wanted votes. We need a Com
missioner who will really be a.
lert to our interest, and l hope
in making the choice of candi-
date, Mr.. Edwards record along
this line will be born in mind.
We wish to recite a few facts.
Before the Examiner represen-
ting the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Jackson, Miss,
on the 18th day of July, 1915,
was heard complaint of the
Newton Truck Growers Associa-
ton against railroads and re-
frigerator Companies. This
complaint was brought in the
name of the Mississippi Railroad
Commission. I personally discus
sed the matter with Mr.. Ed
wards and he promised every
assistance and advice and moral
support. The day was set for
hearing and witnesses come
from distant points and from
Chicago and New Orleans par
ticularly. We had gone to a
great deal of expense and trouble
to amass accurate data so that
we might pursue our complaint
to the end of securing reasonable
freight rates and icing charges.
Much to my surprise the Hon.
Geo. R. Edwards never did show
up at the examination, although
I knew it to be a fact
that he was in Jackson that day.
He gave us no advice nor moral
support, much to our embarrass-
ment and chagrin, and we were
left without the aid and assis-
lance of our own official, who
was elected and pledged to give
us support when we needed it.
This is a very important office
and one that can be made
of great assistance to us, and
when looking around for man,
please bear the fact in mind
that we have had Mr.. Edwards,
have tried him and found him
wanting.
Respectfully,
N. DOOLITTLE.
