Oxford, Miss.
Dear Sir
You either know or should know that
since entering this campaign as a can
didate for lieutenant governor, | have
conducted my campaign on high plane,
refraining at all times from indulging
in abuse, mud-singing or misrepresen-
tation in any sense. | had hoped that
it would not be necessary for me to
have to call your attention to this fact
or to demonstrate with you in reference
to the manner in which | am reliably
informed you are conducting your cam
paign. If my information is correct,
and | have no reason TO doubt II, for on
the other hand | have convincing as
surances that it is true, you have not
been content with merely assaulting my
official record in a vicious manner but
have repeatedly INDUCED in contempu-
BILE insinuations and unkind inuendos
which you know to be absolutely false.
You know that am taking no part in
any controversy as between any of the
candidates or others in the state; that
| have confined my speeches and can
vass strictly to my own candidacy. If
you had done this it would not now be
necessary for me to thus address you.
If there is a spark of genuine patri
otic manhood in your body or soul you
will meet me in joint debate on terms
which | am willing for you to fix, at
places which am willing for you to
name and let the people of this state
Judge between you and me as to our
respective fitness for the office towhich
we both aspire have in my posses
sion evidence to the effect that you
have been making gross misrepresenta-
tions with reference to me and my can
didacy. For example you say in letters
that you have been writing over the
state that you have made me PROPOSE
| ton to run it off with me in my home
county and let Amite county say who
shall be lieutenant governor, you or |.
Now my dear senator, you know that
there is not one word of truth in such a
statement; that you have never in any
manner or form, at any time or place
intimated to me any such proposition.
Let me say to you here and now that
while | believe that the Importance OF
the Office to which we aspire is such
that it should not be confined to any
one county but that the whole peopl,
of the state of Mississippi are entitled
to a voice in the matter. However, a
individuals you and | either have tn,

OUlN STATES THE PLAIN FACTS.

any bribery used. Bilbo alone was the
one who knew about the bribery, and
when he voted for Leroy Percy he
violated his oath as senator. Now had
Bilbo refused to vote for Percy it
would have heen entirely different, but
he openly, as the record shows, voted
for the man in whose interest he had
been bribed. Some will say this was all
thrashed out in the campaign of 1911,
but as a matter of fact there are thous-
ands of men who voted for Bilbo who
did not know that his only record vote
shows that he voted for Leroy Percy
and he has no record showing that he
ever voted for Vardaman. And then
again some people who know that he
never voted for Percy never stop 10
think that he was breaking his oath as
legislator.
If man will accept S645 of bribe
money and keep his seat and be perfect
| " quiet and allow man to be elected
| by the senate whom he knows, accord
ing to his own testimony, has been elect
ed by bribery because perchance
it might cause some trouble, what as
surance have the people of Mississippi
that this same man would not sit quiet
with $4,000 or $4,000 or $4,000 in his
pocket in the Governors chair rather
than to raise little trouble and have
some ones feelings hurt.
This is serious matter for the peo-
pie of Mississippi to think about.
Will they promote a man to the high
office of Governor who according to his
own record, voted for the man in
whose interest he was bribed, and in
, doing so violated duty and obligation
as a Legislator. 49,,
This is assuming that Bilbo's testl'
, mony is true accepting his own YER
, sion of the bribery affair.

Hon. H. M. Quin, candidate for
Governor, in speech recently made at .
pontotoc, among other things said: |
Mr.. Bilbo criticised him for not ap. |
pointing men in the legislature to i'm i
portant positions who agreed with Bill
bo's politics. AS speaker of the house,
Mr.. Quin said he appointed men of
ability and it was because they did have
ability. He said there was one thing
however Bilbo did not criticise him for
and that was for appointing white boys
to work in the legislature when Bilbo
appointed negroes at the same salary
to work in the senate. Why don't he
criticise me for this? =.
He said while he was a friend of
Vardaman, voted for him in the caucus
and was one of the managers of his
campaign in 1911, he did not vote for
Bilbo for Lieutenant Governor and
wanted to state why.
The facts in regard to Bilbo voting
for Leroy Percy are as follows On the
nioht of the Democratic caucus, ac-
cording to his own testimony, he sat IN
the Democratic caucus with the bribe
money in his pocket, and instead of ex-
posing the bribery that night, he kept
quiet because, as he afterwards SAID,
that it would cause some trouble and
possibly someone might get hurt ms
was bad enough for any one who knows
of the situation knows full well that
had he exposed the bribery that nlght'
Vardaman would have been the noml-
nee of the caucus, and that by his own
act he kept Vardaman out OF the SEN
ate for two years. But this was party

What Is An Editorial?

| Probably never before in the his
tory of journalism have editorials
been more widely read, which means
by the same token, that never before
have newspapers exercised so wide
an influence. The editorial is an
expression of the newspapers belief
or sentiment. To be of any value.
it must have behind it the paper's
reputation for fearlessness. truth,
end fettered incorruptibility. With
out these, the influence of the edi-
torial is nullified before it reaches
the printing press. The newspapers
first duty is to give the news. Its
second duty is to comment on the
news-show toward what end the
news is tending, whether political.
educational, social or religious,
crystalize the sentiment in its parti-
cular community: in regard to that
tendency, and finally to give its own
honest, unbiased opinion. The edi-
tors duty is sacred one, and he
should be fully alive to its response
bilities. His opinion on any sub
ject should be given only after seri-
Gus study, but. when it is given. it
should be frank and above board.
No one else is bound to think as the
editor thinks, but the editors opinions
90 down in black and white and he
ought to have good grounds upon
which to base them. Those rea-
sons. expressed in the editorial,
make it valuable. In fact the edi-
torial stands or falls because of the
reasons it sets forth showing how
the editor arrived at his opinion.
The fighting editor is usually a
man of deep thought-one who
bases his opinions on solid founda-
tons and is willing afterward to
come into the open and fight for
them.

Center Of Population

For more than a century a care
full calculation has been made every
ten years to fix the exact center of
population. When the census was
taken in 1900 the center of popula-
ton was found to be near Annapolis,
Nd, we'll east of Chesapeake bay.
A decade later the center had NOV
ed to a point just above the city of
Washington. Throughout the his
tory of the country the population
center has moved steadily westward
at the rate of about 100 miles every
ten years. The center of population
of 100,0O0,000 lies in Illinois Gear
its western boundary. In another
decade it will probably cross the
Mississippi river.-Christian Herald.
