CHARACTER AND ABILITY WILL WIN.

The first primary in the race for congress from the
Sixth District demonstrates concusVey that the Peope
Of this district want Judge Paul B. Johnson, the brilliant
Young urS from HateSburg, to serve them as the sue
cessor to Pat Harrison, who has SO ably represented the
district for the past SIX years
The results of the first primary have also demon
,trated concusively that Judge Paul Johnson is the
strongest where known best and only man OF the high
est character and the finest record could have poed
such an enormous vote, not only IN his home county
but in every county in his circuit court district and III
every county surrounding his district
In his home county of Forrest Judge Johnson, al
though there another home man III the race, re-
ceved five votes to his nearest opponents one IN Jones
county he received 446 votes than all OF the other
candidates combined. In Perry county he received TOUR
votes to his nearest opponents one. The above three
counties represent his circuit court district; the people OF
those counties know Paul johnson and know him well,
for he has served them faithfully and efficiently for
seven years as Judge.
If his character and record not above reprOach
he could not have received this endorsement from their
hands on the day of electonan endorsement SO strong
so convincing and conclusive as to create IN the mndS
of the people of the district the idea that the nomination
should now be given to him unanimously and midi
cations that this Will be prafticaB d0He only made III
his circuit court district Judge Johnson also carried by
large vote every county that touched bordered on the
counties in his district The people who knew him best
his most active workers and supporters ana the
remarkable vote he pOlled shows beyond shadow
of doubt that old fashioned honesty and ability
are still the deciding factors in Mississippi politics, and
that the greatest asset man can have IN running Tor
office as well as in business is good name.
At the beginning of the race Judge Johnson was
practically unknown outside of his circuit court district
while the governor had the prestige and patronage OF the
governors office and had campagned the entire district
through two campaigns. 1t was great victory for Judge
Johnson and great victory for clean politics and
it was great victory for the people The endorsement
received by Judge Johnson in the first primary who had
no offices to promise inducements to offer except
pledge to serve the people of the Sixth District in
Washington he had served his people as Judge, hon
csy faithfully energetcaly and capaby, was one Of
the most faltering ever received by any man.
The indications that the people of the Sixth
Congressional District will give to Paul B. Johnson
September 10th an enormous majority; ne Will prob
ably carry every county in the district with the possible
exception of one and il will again be shown to the poll
tcians of the State that the people rule and when they
see the plain path Of duty and right they cannot be

Opportunity For Boys

1t is tremendously important that
all of the crop produced this year
be saved. The man power for this
purpose may be short, but in MiSsis-
sippi there are thousands of boys be-
tween the ages of 16 and 20 able and
ready to fall in and perform even
more than their share of the work.
Not only every ounce of grain and
hay must be carefully preserved,
but our cotton as well. The world
needs it and our soldiers must have
it. City and town boys can give val
liable aid in this as we'll as the thou
sands of boys in the country.
Our sister states of Alabama and
Louisiana are organized and will
place thousands of boys in the fields
for six weeks or more, allowing them
to make up studies by special classes
and otherwise, to insure passing eX-
aminatiOnS.
During the war of '61-'65 the boys
and noble women of our state vail
emily made the fight at home while
the men were on the firing line.
The cause is as just today and the
need as great. The time is here for
the boys to take their place in the
line for winning the war.
The U, S. Boys Working Reserve
offers the opportunity. Due recog-
milton is given the boy who faithful
ly serves his country in its hour of
need. The medal and certificate of
service will prove a valuable keep
sake for the future; priced and cher
ished by the boys too young for the
trenches.
Get in touch Immediately with
your county superintendent of edu-
cation. Enlist for the fight and fall
in line The fields are white. Your
services are needed.
If YOU can't fight in the trenches
of France, fall into the burrows at
home and back the man in the
trench.
