B|LBO REFUSES TO Be
DRAGGED INTO RACE

The following Is Governor Bilbo's
statement concerning judicial race:
Since certain newspapers and 20.
litical manipulators have tried in every
way possible to drag me into the pres.
ent race for judge between Potter and
Bthridge, feel that in justice to my
friends, as we'll as to myself, that
should make brief statement giving
my relationship to this race.
at the request of Judge Potter
have written four or five letters to his
friends in his behalf, and beyond this
| have taken no public stand either for
or against Potter or Ethridge. Ethridgs
is my friend, having made speeches for
Eme In my race for the Governorship.
Potter was my campaign secretary and
also made speeches In my behalf. am
q friend to both. When l was called
upon to make the appointment of a
Supreme Judge for this district Sc
lected Judge Potter instead OF Eth
ridge. Both were applicants for the
position at the time. selected Potter
instead Of Ethridge because in my
judgment Potter was equally as well
qualified and fitted for this important
position, and since both were my
friends and Ethridge already had a
position with the State, doing Supreme
Court work, receiving good salary
as Assistant Attorney General, l pre-
ferred to keep them both in the serv-
ice of the State, and therefore decided
in favor Of Potter. l have already
voted. It is now the duty of the peo-
pie OF this district to say who they
want for judge, and I believe that
they are thoroughly qualified and COM
petent to do so without any suggestion
or dictation from either me, Ross Col
lins, NJ. A. Brown or any other State
official. l am glad to say that my
judgment In selecting Judge Potter
has been abundantly justified by the
splendid record which he has made
and in this I am gratified regardless
Of who is selected at the coming elec-
hon.
with this final word for the present
I am leaving for Biloxi, where hope
to remain until the campaign is prac-
tically over, coming to Jackson only
when important business demands,
and when the result Of the second pri-I
mary is known | shall be ready to say
amen to the verdict Of the people"

Il haven't seen any reason yet, "
said Mr.. Sam Cockrel, who was in
town Monday, "for being down
hearted over crop conditions this year,
or the prospects for the future. Ihave
never seen a year where the difference
was so plainly shown on the crop that
was worked as it should have been and
a crop that was neglected. Where the
grass was kept out of the crop fair
crop was made on uplands; of course
this does not apply to the creek bottom
lands as practically everything that
was over1owed especially near the
river, where the water stood on the
crops, was ruined" Mr.. Cockrell
stated that he thought he would make
nearly as much cotton as last year,
more corn, peas, peanuts and potatoes,
and his pasture and grass land had
never been better. Consequently as
he stated, he could see no reason yet,
to be downhearted.

on the bofunctious principles Of

a singular and a signal perversity
the voters of the 18th district gave

fact behaved like the sick horse,
which, instead of taking the
drcnch of Veterinary Ward, "blew

Mr., Sisson's opponent who-we
would remark incidentally was
the hon. William Ward, son of
DR.. b. +. Ward, and campaign
chief Of the Issue chief, Governor
Bilbo. In spite of these sponsors,
and their superman Endorsement,
he got it in the neck, all the way
from Big Sandy to the Butta-
hatchic.

William Ward is the quin,
tcscencc of frankncSs and sin
cerity; he could not 90 indi-
rcctly about anything to save
his life. 1t is a grateful
thing, a refreshing thing to
have men like William Ward
come into our politics; we
need men of his type, of his
dircctness and sincerity to
put the time serving politi
clan out of business; to realize
in the word "POltics" its
real meaning as the "Science
of government" instead of its
baser uses as a means Of self.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. We want to
see men of that kind succeed
in their aspirations because
their success not only ele.
Yates Our political ideals but
counts for the strength and
security of our government,

That this "quintescencen was
beaten three to one, by such a
man as DR.. Ward has pictured in

since 1911. The voters of the
