EX-GOv. BREWER HAS
MEETING AT BRANDON
Ex-Governor Trying To Come To Life
Riley Retired To Political
Shade.

some Gays ago, over at the quaint
old city OF Brandon, formerly the
mecca Of great political gatherings in
the days of the famous clan" Nc
Laurin, there was an unique gather
ing for the purpose of settling upon"
an old time, out and out, ringster and
secret caucus" politician, as next
Governor.
They met. The Great Earl of
Wycoffe" was therein fact it was
his" meeting. This meeting was at
tended by some Of the wise ones" and
much good work" was agreed upon
and done. 1t was there decided that
Marion w. Riley, one time candidate
for Governor. and in the last race the
choice selection of the antis to beat
Governor Bilbo, should be retired To
the political shades and that Ex-Gov-
ernor Brewer should be the ring"
candidate for Governor.
Governor Brewer is dead and don't
know it, rs We have many times said
before, but he claims all the credit Of
the election of Pat Harrison recently
and for his great and most extraor-
binary service ia entitled to be elev-
ated to a seat, the second time, in the
Governors chair.
But that is not all. Governor
Brewer has in view that after he 10
elected Governor that in 1928 he will
elect himself-mark you elect himself
to succeed the Hon. John Sharp
Williams.
And what do you think of that7
All at one fell swoop and the work
is donel
Ii is all worked out. The word
has been passed down the line "swal-
low Earl if it kills you," and Of course
it will well nigh kin some Of them,
even among the old stand pat rings
tiers, but, since they have heretofore
swallowed the bait, hook. line and all,
they will do so again.
Earl wants to redeem the State
He is opposed TO "factiOnalism"-savs
the mark, He is 'the Moses" that IL
able, so he thinks. TO bring the old
State back TO her proper moorings-
he does not hope to do so him SELF
remember, he is the Detective Gov
ernor." He can take \ few hundred
thousand Of the peoples money and
raise more fuss and do less than any
Governor that has ever lived-here or
elsewhere Remember that. He can
make unexplained rips TO Europe"
he can vote against every plank in his
own platform-elective judiciary, land
holding corporation bills and all, and
still stand before the people martyr
to his own ambition! He is ready TO
shed flood Of tears because his heart
is broken for the sake Of the dear
peepull" as he did in his last trumped
up campaign wherein he tried 10 fool
the people into the fallacy that he was
defending his own administration.
and such bosA as that
So, Ex-Governor Brewer has elect
ed himself for another term as Gov
ernor. He will deny, Of course, any
such plan You will recall in various
interviews" he blushed scarlet when
approached" but never lets IN op-
portunity cscape to say that eff the
people demand my entry into the race
TO save the grand old State. I'm ready
20 get my detective force and give the
State a set Of new scandals that they
have never dreamed Of" And. you
must not discount Earl'5 resourceful-
ness on getting up q loud smelling
scandal. In all that he forgets all
about his own odoriferous perform
ance. But what of that? Look who
is doing the performing.
So. we warn you in due time that
the Great Earl Of Wyeoffe" IL about
to turn himself loose for Governor.
Get thyself ready, lose no time. II
you get run over We are not to blame;
We have warned you'll
