of the resolutions was handed him
this morning, however, and he SAID
if the people Of M.s8i sippi thought

finished with his services in time to
permit him to do SO, he would return

Being from Mississippi (Yazoo CITY,

great Joy to this French household

MAJOR SHEFFIELD
FOR GOVERNOR
Mississippi Soldiers in France Sug-
gest This Gallant Soldier For
Our Next Governor.

American Expeditionary Force,France
Nov. l2, 1918,
To the People Of Mississippi;
Last night at a celebration in hon
or of the signing Of the armistlce,
the officers and soldiers Of the l55th
Infantry from Mississippi who have
done a very large part in helping to
win the war against Germany and who
now believe they are entitled to a
proportionate share in the recon-
struction of Mississippi after the war,
adopted the following resolutions
which were proposed by Maj. George
Z. Hogaboom, one Of the oldest and
most efficient officers in the regiment
and unanimously seconded by all the
officers and soldiers present:
Whereas, The war has been won by
! aggressive combat in which we, as
sodiers of the American Army have
had a most important part, and,
+ Whereas, The period Of reconstruc-
ton must be, as has always been, one
Of the most trying periods Of the his
tory of the state, in which men who
are aggressive, sound, and patriotic
NUT guide the de TIMES and lead In
The solution of the problems Of gov
ernment; and,
Whereas, The period now at hand
calls for the best that is in each Of US
Individually and the best ability that
is obtanable; and,
Whereas, We believe that a man
who possesses, the moral courage, the
ability and farsightedness Of real
craftsmanship, and who has been
tested in the cruel fires Of the pre- ent
conflict to determine his soundne35
and has come forth from the fire like
pure gold, offers the best material
available to head the government Of
Mississippi, and,
Whereas, We believe that an actual
test Of ability shows that one of our
fellow soldiers, Maj, John c. Shelf
, field of Tate County, Mississippi,
combines all the qualifications that a
governor of Mississippi should have;
A therefore, be it
Resolved, First, That we propose
e Mai. John c. Sheffield as the next
= governor Of Mississippi.
Second, That our friends and rela'
tives throughout the state and Al
O others who believe that the affairs
q Of our state should have at its head no
. g nolitician, but a real state man, are
o requested to begin an immediate cam
h nairn through the press and other
,. wise to the end that he may b'
o elected.
B. Third, That Maj. Sheffield is nov
20 and when he takes the oath 0
70 office will be 81 years old, making a
,r ideal man to espouae the cause Q
r. the new democracy and that all FAC
,s tons and all classes can unhesita

III represents. :,
ID Fourth, That all the other cand
