BENEFIT no RUSSELL.

At the outset of the gubernatorial campaign the
Herald declared itself having picked LeutG Lea
NJ Russell its choice. though stated that we did
not know that would take active interest in
such campaign. and we have not done up to tho
present This has been primarily because Of the fact
that we thought-and time has proven that wa
thought correctly-that the people were tired Of
much politics and excitement from last years stren-
uous times. However, we have watched the campaign
closely and glad to say that have felt all along
and still feel that Mr. Russell has held his spIen
didly as the campaign has it's this far.
There is powerful and bitter nght going on between
the Longino and Johnston forces to their dispute

CHARLES H. mccoy OF COLUMBIA, MISS, FOR
STATE BANK EXAMINER FOR THE SOUTHERN DIST
A Native Mississippian Well Qualified.

Banking Laws of 1914 prohibits any
one from holding the place who has
been in charge of bank which has
liquidated it's debts below par during
his administration. Why was Love
issued license? Simply because one
Of the Commissioners has been Loves
attorney since he has been examiner
and has made a large sum of money
out of his relation to Love. 1t is to
his advantage to have Love reelected
and keep me out of the race. Love
himself told me there was strong
pressure being exerted to keep me
from going before the people. So I
say it is politics, dictated by finan-
cial consideration.
License being refused me my at
torney then advised me that Sec
tion $50 of the Constitution provides
that "all qualified electors shall be
eligible to office" Seeing was still
in the race, what do you think was
done? An effort was then made to
Keep my name off the ticket in the
various counties. / challenge them
to deny this. Is this the kind Of
men you want for public office?
For confirmation of this refer
you to the Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of your
county. 1t is truth and not cheap
politics.
Mr.. Love. it seems, is afraid of the
people. / am not. wish to let the
people pass on all issues. as they
have right to. Mr.. Love, it seems,
wishes to win by political tricks and
denial Of the people the right to
vote on the question.
At any time and at any place
will be glad to discuss this with him
before the voters.
In this. my last appeal to my fell
low South Mississippians. have been
honest and tried to arouse your in
most feelings that the political life
Of Mississippi may be purged of this
corruption and purified in our day.
Yours for simple justice,
(Adv.) CHARLES H. MCCOY.

THIRTY-sEvENTH YEAR OF PUBLICATION.
THE TRAIL OF THE LIAR.

So many lies are being told ON
Gov. Longino that we feel it incum-
bent upon us as supporter of the
Governor to give some facts that
should certainly satisfy any fair
minded person as to the absolute fall
sity and unfairness of these reports.
Circulars are being distributed alleg-
ing certain things against Longino
which are scurrilous in their nature
and which no decent, honorable gen.
tleman would circulate, knowing as
he does that they are not true, or, if
perchance there should be any SEM
blance of truth in them the facts are
so distorted as to make them abso-
lutely unrecognizable, which makes
them really worse than lies out Of
the whole cloth. These circulars are
Of course gotten out by the gentle
men who are running against Gov.
Longino, for private individuals
would not go to so much trouble and
expense.
Lie No. is to the effect that Lon
gino while governor recommended to
the legislature the pensioning of
families of negro rapists who were
lynched. There is not one word in
the Governors message about negro
rapists or any other kind of a rapist.
What the governor did say was that
the family of person lynched
should have the right to recover thru
the courts a certain sum of money
Ono amount fixed), all of the details
being of course left to the legisla-
ture to work out. Nothing ever
came of it. as it was simply rec
ommendation, which Gov. Longino
himself admits was a mistake. He
was so opposed to lynching that he
wanted it stopped at all costs, and
therefore recommended drastic meas
ures to stop it. In this, however, he
was no more radical than Vardaman,
who said that he would bankrupt the
state to protect a negro rapist while
governor whom he would head a mob
to help hang as a private citizen.
Now is not this Incorporate, i'll tim
ed remark ten times worse than the
recommendation made by Longino?
The latter is opposed to lynch law
under any and all circumstances,
while Vardaman is in favor of it un-
der certain circumstances, but as
governor he would go even further
than Longino-he would bankrupt
the state to protect the negro rapist,
to use his own words. Yet Varda-
man was elected to the U. S. Senate
after he made this remark by the
biggest majority man ever receiv-
ed in Mississippi.
Lie No. 2 is to the effect that
Gov. Longino pardoned negro rap
list in Yazoo County. We call it a
lie because there was never more
damnable distortion of the facts, or
rather Withholding of the facts,
which makes it ten times worse than
a lie straightout. These dirty hell
hounds stopped short when they said
that Gov. Longino pardoned a negro
rapist. Why didn't they go on and
tell about the negro being sent up in
1S6S-thirty years before Longino
became governor-and that his par
don was recommended by Judge ]. A.
p. Campbell, the judge who tried the
case, and by Hon. S. S. Calhoun,
who was district attorney, for the
reason that there were grave doubts

WHY IS IT?

Carouthers Ewing, a prominent
Memphis attorney who has just re-
turned from a tour Of Europe, states
that food prices there are only lit
tie more than half of what they are
here.
Mr.. Ewing is one Of the best
known attorneys OF the South, man
whose word is never questioned, and
having had opportunity to see and
know, speaks whereof he knows.
The statement that food prices are
only about half in Europe of what
they are in America, is the more sur
prising when it is remembered that
Europe is drawing the greater part
of her food supply from this coun-
try. For more than two years she
has been almost entirely dependent
upon the United States for her wheat
supply, and largely dependent upon
us for her sugar, meat, canned goods
and other articles of food. Especial
ly is this SO i'll France, Belgium and
other devastated sections. England,
while not SO greatly dependent as
other sections, has drawn largely
upon us that her population might
be properly fed, and is continuing to
do so.
If American exporters of food stun
are shipping produce to Europe and
selling it for half of what they are
charging the folks back home, then
something is radically wrong and
somebody is being robbed. 1t has
been charged, and is no doubt true
that millions of dollars worth of food
stuff is housed in cold storage, with
held from public distribution, and
for no other reason than to keep
prices UP and boost them to still
higher figures.
With the largest wheat crop ever
known, wheat is today bringing $2.-
36 per bushel, while with hogs more
plentiful than ever in the history OF
the country. pork on foot is bring
I ing the unheard of price of $23 per
hundred while the consumer is fore
ed to pay for breakfast bacon nearly
three times the price paid the pro-
ducer by the stock yards.
The government is said to have in
the neighborhood of a billion dollars
worth of army food stored away for
which it has no use. 1t has been
charged that the government has re-
Trained from placinng these goods on
the market in small amounts be-
cause a protest nled by the meat
packers, who claim that prices would
be lowered and thereby portion of
their robber profits shaved of.
Are the packers or the people de-
serving of first consideration at the
hands OF the government? When war
stared the government in the face
and the country was threatened with
destruction, was it the people or the
packers who volunteered to face the
firing lines and brave German bullets
| that liberty might live and the gov
eminent Of the United States remain
free and untrammeled by German
i imperialism?
/ If the government is under obli-
/ cations to the packers it ought not
to attempt to pay the debt at the ex'
pense OF the people. to whom 1t owes
Its existence. Somebody is pronteer-
ling and somebody else is suffering.
