her one, explaining the situation
which he did, and which read as fol.
lows:
This is to certify that Bridget
O'Quin did have a good character,
but she lost it on shipboard coming
over"
The ISSUE did have q good repu-
tation, but it seems TO have lost II
in going over from the sublime to the
ridiculous. from the unassuu1ing great
to the arrogant little, from the high
plane of democratic dignity to it,
present level of pettifogging demo-
Eoguery.
This self-edited publication, IN Its
issue OF the unlucky 18th, above re-
ferred to. makes a vicious attack" on
various candidates for governor, and
then takes a snap at several who are
rot even running, and lmputes t
them political turpitude for the rea-
sons they give for not being IN the
race
1t first Jumps on Marion Reilly,
moor fellow, who admitted that he did
not have the money TO make the race
for governor. and who stated at the
time that he preferred TO be honest
before being ambitious" ana virtual
IL u him Of lying about why he
did not enter the race. Mr.. Reilly
has a perfect right not TO run for
governor. and instead OF crltlclsIng
him for his failure to enter the race,
the ISSUE had better congratulate
itself that he is not running; Tor that
publication came very near eiectIng
him governor four years ago, by the
use of these same tactics.
Then it takes w. II. Smith, presl-
dent OF the A. & NJ. College. 10 task.
and insinuates that he has falsiDed :
his statement as. to why he quit the
race. saying that, HE (Smith) could
have answered much easier by simply
saving: Brewer told me to-"
Surely Brewer doesn't control
Smith. for he is a part Of the Bilbo
administration, which kicked High
tower, Brewers appointee, ont, and
Put Smith in his place.
This straw man, Brewer. has simply
given the ISSUE another nightmare
Avaunt. and leave its sight! Let this
editorless orphan have some rest.
1t then proceeds to rlalign the ed
tor of the NEW ERA, and says that
we get away, far away from the
Truth, and say that the ISSUE is gov
crnor Bilbo's mouthpieoe." We new
or made any such statement; we SIM
ply said it appears to be the "Bilbo
organ in Mississippi"
The record bears US out in that
statement, for it was to the ISSUE
that Bilbo fled, as TO the horns Of the
altar. when he found that his bluff
failed 10 intimidate the editor Of the
NEW ERA.
The ISSUE says that it is the "peo-
Pies mouthpiece."
Indeed?
Ther why didst thou not, 0 ISSUE
spen up thine mouth and tell the peo-
ple all about the rotterness at the H.
sane Asylum last year and food the
state with sample copies?-
Look. Look! there's the ghost of
Brewer again" /
AS you were. /as you were. The
idea in a game of this kind is MOTTO
get excited. F.,
But Wen pass on and not tanta-
lie the poor thing with any more OF |
these unkind references TO this un- |
fortunate institution, this time. |
The ISSUE says that the writer is
it because We think it
hurt Ross Collins.
We are not running Collins O !
anyone else, and if we were. we know
Of no way the ISSUE can hurt him,
its present management, except
to support him, and we haven't the
slightest fear of it's doing that.
Again quoth the ISSUE: "And our
further guess is that you (meaning
the writer) are sore at Bilbo because
he did not appoint you on the I:
Commission"
