Cunningham Withdraws

M
Hon. ]. A.. Cunningham, of
Bonneville, has issued a card in
which he withdraws from the
race for Congress. Mr.. Cunning
ham assigns no reasons for his
withdrawal, but announces that
after the primary he will issue a
card setting out his reasons for
his withdrawal.
Nh. Cunningham is one of the
strong men of the district. AS a
member of the Mississippi legis-
lature he left the impress of his
personality upon our statute
books and made for himself a
record of which his friends are
proud. When he announced for
congress he drew around him a
strong following of ardent
friends who were making an
earnest and energetic fight to Sc
cure his nomination in the Aug
ust primary.
In withdrawing from the race
Mr.. Cunningham carries with
him the good wishes of all. He
was making a clean fight and no
complaint can be registered
against his style of politics. He
fights in the open and no under
hand blows are struck by him.
Mr.. Cunningham's card fol-
lows:
"My withdrawal from the race for
Congress is here announced. / am close
enough to the end to see that the
chances for my election this time are
bad considering the district as a whole.
Two months out of my profession and
away from my family and home sur
~roundings convinces me that / will not
make another race. The people of
my county, Prentiss, were planning a
barbecue for all my friends from all
owe the district to be at Bonneville
and several hundred citizens to make a
tour of the district in automobiles for
three days, covering some 400 miles of
distance, with a band, etc all at their
own suggestion and expense, as IN
nounced by programme published.
With my views of the situation | had
grave doubts as to the propriety of
keeping from them a full disclosure of
my real feelings in the premises, ad-
vised my committee accordingly and
we in consultation with other friends
concluded this course proper, in view
of the unprecedented efforts and ex-
pense in preparation by my friends,
which would cost them not less than
So, 500 to So, 900. Out of Difference to
those for or against the other candi-
dates | refrain from commenting on
newly developed conditions outside of
my circle of acquaintance so greatly
affecting my chance for election. l
will make a definite statement after
the primary. Neither of my opponents
or their friends had any knowledge of
my intentions until this course was
fully determined. With every expires
sion of gratitude to my friends, who
are the best friends in the world, I am.

WILL a STRIKE BE ORDERED {?

The controversy now going on
between the employees of the
railroad companies and the man.
ayers of the roads is giving the
business public great concern.
The employees have demanded
an Increase in wages which the
roads say.if granted, will amount
to 500, 600, 900 annually to the
employees over and above the
amount already paid them for
their services. The public will
be forced to pay this additional
sum, the roads contend, because
the rates now received are not
sufficient to meet operating ex-
penses and the interest and nee
essary dividends to keep the
roads in operation.
The railroads have offered to
submit the controversy to arbi-
tration by reference to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
or by arbitration under the ex-
isting Federal laws.
The unions to which the train
men belong are afraid of arbi-
tration. They will not agree to
go into it and there is no means
of compelling them. Should
they go into arbitration and lose,
under the commission there is
no way of forcing them to abide
by the result, as compulsory ar
bitration is impossible. On the
other hand, should the railroads
lose they could be forced to live
up to the verdict of the arbitra-
ton by the imposition of fines
which they could be made to pay.
The situation is a delicate one
and the danger to the business
public is realized by those who
are endeavoring to settle the
question without a break in the
relationship now existing be-
tween the railroads and their
employees.
.vss and inconvience TO
the public cannot be estimated
and the railroads and employees
should by all means get together
rather than bring about the great
calamity which would result from
a strike on all the roads of the
country.
Every branch of the railroad
service will be affected should
a strike result. The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the
Order of Railway Conductors,
the Order of Brakemen and all
other employees in the operating
service of the roads will be in
yelYed, and not a wheel would
turn from Maine to California,
nor from Canada to the Gulf
Coast should the strike be or
dered.
A decision will be reached be-
tween now and the first of Sep
TENDER.

In view Of the fact that it is
being urged against Judge E. @.
Sykes, one of the candidates for
Supreme Court Judge for this
district, that he was a railroad
lawyer and is being supported
by lawyers who represent rail-
roads. and for that reason should
not be elected. we, the under
signed members of the Lee coun.
ty bar who do not represent rail-
roads, take this method of stat
ing some facts.
Judge Sykes was at one time
attorney for the Mobile & Ohio
railroad, at another time attorney
for the Frisco, and subsequently
when he lived in Bolivar county
W as attorney for the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad; but
for more than two years before
his appointment to the supreme
court he was not an attorney for
any railroad but was on the other
side of railroad litigation, having
voluntarily surrendered his rail-
road connections.
We know Judge Sykes, and
knew his father before him. and
we feel sure that even if he had
been a railroad lawyer at the
time of his appointment his high
integrity and uprightness and
love of justice and right would
attest his impartiality and fair
ness in all cases, even if this had
not already been thoroughly
proven and demonstrated by his
service on the supreme bench.
His father was a railroad law
yer when appointed circuit Judge
of this district, yet nobody ever
suspected that he leaned to the
railroads, or was not impartial in
the trial of cases where the rail-
roads were concerned, as we'll as
in all other cases in his court.
His impartiality was proverbial.
We do not mean to dictate
to anyone how he shall
vote. but this card is published
alone for the purpose of correct
ing what seemed to us an injus-
tice to Judge Sykes. We believe
him to have made good as Su-
preme Court Judge and to have
proven himself just. impartial
and able.
None OF us who sign this card
are railroad attorneys, and our
support of him is prompted by
our belief in his high integrity,
his uniform impartiality, his love
of justice, and his proven ability
on the bench.
Respectfully,

Comradc Mrs. G. IL, Lockwood. OF
Kalamazoo, Mich, spoke to a large
audience in Tho Forum, 1912 Califor-
MIA St, last Sunday afternoon, her
subject being Socialism. the Hope of

something more than was promised
by the title. II was one of the strong

heard in Everett-and that's going

An artist by profession, Mrs. Lock

the conflict most uncompromising,
there will one find this stalwart
champion of the people who mine
and build and manufacture the wealth
of the world She is to the copper
miners OF Michigan what Kate Sad
Ter is to the lumberiacks of Washing
ton and Oregon, or Mother Jones
to the miners of Colorado, West Vir-
ginia. or Pennsylvania-or anywhere
else. Comfortably situated herself,
free from the compulsion of "econom-
ic determinism," Comrade Lockwood
stands shoulder to shoulder with the
less fortunate from a sense of indig-
nant resentment toward the mad bru-
talities of the capitalist system, with
its appalling ugliness and degrading
influences. She is in deadly earnest!
She has seen with her own eyes the
ribs of a baby crushed by the hoofs
of a copper-baron's gunman! The
12-months old babe was in his way!
Two days later she saw that infant
expire in the arms of starving moth

victims of fiends in human form, car

men were responsible. And back of
these unspeakable-not Turks-Amer-
leans, stands CAPITALISM, the most
inexcusably vile and immoral form
of exploitation of the workers by the
shirkers that the world has ever
known.
If the sting and horror of this aw-
full truth is not poignant enough to
rouse your heart and soul to action,
to a high resolve never to rest day
or night until you have done all that
lay within your power to help bring
this accursed system to an end, it will

woods stirring narrative, her stimu-
lating humor, and her interesting pre-
sentation of Socialist fundamentals.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Lock
woods lecture, the audience was
asked if they desired the lecture COM
mittee to ask for a return date for
her. This question was greeted by
vigorous hand-clapping, everyone in
the hall seeming to say "You
bet!" Arrangements are already
being made to satisfy this unanimous
demand. The exact date of Mrs. Lock
woods second lecture will be given
later.
