Statement By Hugh B. Miller, Cam

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
THE FOURTEENTH DISTRICT.

There was a total vote cast of 1888
of this vote / received 1854; AL
ford received 1878; Nixon received
1856 and McGehee received 1879.
1t will thus be seen that lacked
only 758 votes of having a majority
in the first primary. A majority of
votes cast is 4442. My vote was on
ly, as say, 75S short of this. Con-
sidering the large number of candi-
dates my vote was creditable show
ing indeed. My own County Of CO.
piah, where ! was born and reared,
and my home folks know me best,
| received 1714 votes and got ma
jority over. all of 1923. / would
rather have had this endorsement Of
my home people than any office on
earth. ! want my friends every
where to know that am profoundly
thankful from the bottom of my
heart, and know that all my friends
will keep UP the fight and we will
certainly win by a large majority.
] will continue the campaign as
best can and hope to be able to
see every voter before August 26th.
However, want the voters to re-
member we have a very short time
and the district is a large one. Your
support and influence will greatly
appreciate. Won't you help me?

eight years old. Ten years ago my
leg was amputated- near the hip joint
caused from tuberculosis and while
my health is good now, l am greatly
handicapped so far as physical labor
is concerned.
Fortunate for me, have had three
years in Mississippi College and COM
pleted commercial course at one of
the best business colleges in the
south.
Knowing that I am fully qualified
l feel free in coming before you, ask
ing for this position that 1 might
have way to make support for
my family.
Now l am asking you to give me a
chance this time believing that can

returns warranting decision that he
would be in the run-off with Lieu
tenant Governor Russell, o. G.. John
.ston was asked for statement this
afternoon and he appeared very op-
timistic over the outcome ON August
26th.
Mr.. Johnston said that in his opin-
ion Russell would not add 10000
votes to his strength. Though the
strain of the past few weeks cam
paigning has been severe, Mr.. John
ston appeared in excellent physique
this afternoon, following three days
of rest. He left Clarksdale this af-
ternoon for Jackson, where he ex-
poets to renew his fight, possibly to-
morrow, for the second primary. Just
before leaving he issued the follow
ing:
ITO the Democrats Of Mississippi:
''The result of the first primary is
now history, the smoke of battle has
cleared, the wounds given and re-
ceived by each of the combatants
will soon heal. 1t now becomes the
duty of every citizen of the state to
turn his attention to the matter of
the selection from the two remaining
candidates that one who shall pre-
side over the destineis of the state
for the ensuing four years. The Sc
lection should be made with regard
to the qualifications and fitness OF
the man. Having regard for the
best interests of the state. Let ev-
cry citizen discharge his full duty.
ITO those, who by their vote,
have expressed their confidence in
my fitness and ability to discharge
the duties of the high office to which
/ aspire, wish to express my most
sincere appreciation. The victory Is
almost won. 1t is only necessary
that every man stay on the job for
the next two and half weeks, keep
ing in mind that eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty. BY proper
cooperation on the part of those
truly interested in securing for Mis-
sissippi genuine business-like ad-
ministration of her affairs this fight
will be won on August 26 by al
least $1,000, so let's all pull togeth-
er and go over the top with q
whoop.
