From this you will note that
have lead my nearest opponent by
1701 votes, but that | failed to get
a majority of the votes polled,
which necessitates a second prima
ry. From an examination of the
vote you will sea that | have re.
ceived general vote in every
county of our District.
In the City of Aberdeen.
Where l have lived practically
all of my life, l received 1853 votes,
Mr.. Knox II votes, and Judge
McGowen 2 votes. In my home
county Of Monroe [ received 1920
votes, MIR. Knox 292 votes, and
McGowen SO votes. Approxima-
tely my percentage Of the votes of
my home county was 81 per cent.
In the County of Chickasaw
Where my opponent, Mr.. Knox,
lives, at his home box of Houston,
Miss, he received 267 votes, 1 re-.
ceived IS votes, and Judge Nc
Gowen received 80 votes. In
Chlckasaw county, Mr.. Knox re-
ceived 897 votes, received SAG
votes, and Judge McGowen re.
ceived Sc votes. The percentage
of votes received by Mr.. Knox in
his home county Of Chickasaw was
about 81 per cent.
Do Knox's Constituents Favor His
Promotin?
Last summer Mr.. Knox was
elected District Attorney in his
district, composed OF the counties
of Benton, Calhoun Chickasaw,
Lafayette, Marshall, Tippah and
Union, for term of four years.
1t is my belief that when candi-
date asks the people to elect him
to a public office, by the asking he
thereby impliedly promises them
that, if elected, he will serve out
this term OF office. Then after
having served his term of office, if
he deserves promotion the people
will give it to him. Mr.. Knox
in reply to this argument of mine
in the campaign before the first
primary repeatedly stated that the
people of his judicial district were
willing to promote him to the
Supreme Court bench, and that if
they were willing, then the people
of other counties ought not 70 OBJ
ject. Let us now see what the
people of his district said about
this:
Here Are the Figures.
In ais Judicial District com.
posed of the above named counties
there were 7l57 votes polled, OF
this amount Mr.. Knox received
3355 votes; or, in other words,
46.o per cent Of the votes polled
In his district were by people who
favored promoting him to the
Supreme bench, aud 53.2 per cent
were against this proposition. OF
this number Of 1902 votes against
promoting Mr. Knox, | received
1900 votes and Judge McGowen
1902 votes. In other words 46.S
per cent OF the voters of his judi.
rial district were in favor of pro-
noting him and approximately
53.2 per cent of the voters Of his
district were in favor of retaining
his services as District Attorney
for the rest of the term which he
was elected. The people therefore
OF his district have spoken aid "a
majority of them are not willing
to release him from his contract to
serve them as District Attorney
for period of four years. These
people will still be entitled to three
