timents of very large majority of
the people of Mississippi
No man has ever yet appeared as
candidate for the office of governor
of Mississippi, running upon a plat
form in which he advocated mob vio-
lence, and for the honor of Mississip-
pi, and the good name of her Chris
tain civilization, it is to be hoped that
none such will ever appear.
The constitution of the State says,
"the governor shall see that the laws
are faithfully executed" Mindful of
the duty which was imposed upon me
as governor of the state, and of the
oath of office which | was then about
to take. anxious that the honor Of
Mississippi, and the good name of her
Christian civilization should be re-
deemed and preserved, and knowing
that the remedy for the evil rested
with the people and their representa-
tives in the legislature, then rec
ommend to the legislature remedy
which ! have long since realized was
mistake. The remedy which then
suggested was as follows;
THE fault lies in defective or in
active public sentiment on the sub
ject, and hence the remedy must come
from the people. The law has all the
while been ample and rigorous in its
penalties for crime; the judges have
done their full duty toward the sup
preston of mobs, while appeals tc
public opinion in this behalf have beer
made by at least three of the great
religious denominations of the state
respectively in conference, synod anC
convention, and by the press also as
rule; but all have failed to bring
apparent beneficial results in that re.
gard. Since, then, moral persuasion
fails to sufficiently arouse the people
to the danger and enormity Of the
evil, which is yearly growing, resort

can but believe that each and
everyone Of my opponents in the race
for governor Of Mississippi win agree
with me that mob violence is deplor-
able, and that if he should be nomi-
mated and elected as governor of the
state that it will then become his
sworn duty under the constitution to
"see that the laws are faithfully ex-
ecuted." If am not mistaken in this,
then we will stand together in the
view that the honor of Mississippi and
her Christian civilization demand that
the laws shall be faithfully executed
and if possible mob violence sup
pressed.
If my opponents agree with me on
the great fundamental principle in
volved, then the only difference be-
tween us on this question is the fact
that nearly 20 years ago made a
mistake in suggesting a remedy for
this evil, and now candidly acknowl-
ledge the mistake, whereas neither Of
them has ever suggested a remedy
and for that reason has had no op-
portunity to make a mistake.
True it is that nearly 20 years ago
while governor of Mississippi, made
a mistake in recommending this rem,
edy for mob violence. 1t is also equal.
ly true that l have the moral courage
to admit the mistake which | Their
made. What man in the office Of
governor has not made mistakes ?
But with added years of observation
and experience, and profiting by the
mistakes which l have made, if
should again be elected as governor Of
Mississippi, my effort will be to obey
the mandate of the constitution
which says:
"The governor shall see that tn.
laws are faithfully executed" to tn.
end that the people of Mississippi
may be law-abiding, God-Ioving, God
fearing and God-serving people.

JACKSON, Miss, July CHAIR
nan Woods c. Eastland of the Lon

statement from Hon. A. H. Longino,

explanatory;
TO the People of the State of Missis-
sippi:
On the sixteenth day of January,
A. d. 1900 almost 20 years ago,
when ! was inaugurated for govern
pr Of Mississippi, then deplored the
,,act of the existence of the mob
spirit in the State, and that it was

suspect not only of the crime of rape,
but many other accusations and of

"The law in its amplitude, provides
proper and commensurate punishment

ver, imposes the death penalty alone
N those guilty of murder, arson and

gent and taxpaying men in each COM

under the very wise provisions of the

no justifaible reason why those who
are guilty of crime, great or small

appreciated the sacred Importance O

amount of said damages be made suf-
ficiently large to engage public oppo-
sitioM to the payment thereof, and let
the right of recovery be predicated
alone upon the fact that the lynching
was done in the county where the re-
covery is sought. 1t is not unusual
that prisoners are taken by mobs

officers without resistance and lynch
ed. commend to the further SERIOUS
consideration of the Legislature the
expediency of providing by law that
the office of sheriff or constable shall
become vacant, ipso facto, whenever
any prisoner is taken from the Jail or
the lawful custody of such officer or
his deputy and mobbed. In my judg-
ment the time and occasion are here
for some such stringent measure, and
it is to be hoped that the Legislature
will prove equal thereto"
There have been very few if any
men who have ever occupied the of
flee of governor who did not make
some mistakes. When mistake has
been made and the man who made 1t
realizes his mistake, in my judgment
he should be big enough, honest
enough and brave enough to admit it.
with added years of experience and
observation, have long since realized
that the remedy which was then sug-
gested by me to the Legislature was
mistake. and that the Legislature act
ed wisely in not adopting my recon-
mendation. because it would not have
accomplished its purpose, and would
have imposed severe penalties on in

opponents that / ought not to be

ON this account mean to say that they
