Jones COUNTY NEWS
FOR LEE N. RUSSELL

Lieutenant Governor Lee M. Russell
will speak in Ellisville on Saturday,
April S, at 1920 a. m. This will be
Mr.. Russell's first appearance in
Jones County in behalf of his candi-
dacy for Governor for Mississippi, and
a cordial invitation is extended to
everybody to come and hear him dis
cuss the issues of the gubernatorial
campaign.
Mr.. Russell has been atively identi-
fled with Mississippi politics for the
past twelve years, having served four
years as a representative from his
county, and four years as state sena-
tor. Four years ago Mr.. Russell was
elected Lieutenant Governor by a
splendid majority, and he has dis
charged the duties of the office with
credit to himself and the State of
Mississippi.
Mr.. Russell is a graduate Of the
University, both the literary and law
departments. While in school Mr..
Russell exhibited those same qualities
of leadership and democratic instinct
that have been characteristic of his
political career. He has always been
fighter of shams and hypocrisy. Mr..
Russell made the fight for the elimin-
alton of those things from our colleges
which tend to smother democracy, and
never let up until laws were placed
on the statute books Of Mississippi
prohibiting same.
The Jones County News stands un-
equivocally for the election of Lee M.
Russell for Governor Of Mississippi,
believing that he is true represen-
tative of the people and the progress
sive wing Of Mississippi Democracy.
We care not rap for Lee M. Russell
personally, or his political ambitions.
"The individual is but an atom; he
is born, he acts, he dies, but princi-
pies are eternal" And let US add, that
the political contests that have swept
over Mississippi for the past several
years have certainly been contests ov-
er a principle.
It seems to US that the fight this
year will determine who will direct the
destinies of Mississippi for the next
twenty or thirty years; that the out
come of the governors race will de-
termine whether the forces of good
government shall continue in power. or
whether tho State will be turned over

STANLEY URGES STATE
RIGHTS BEFORE U. d. C.

louisville, KY, April 2-Nearly five
hundred delegates were registered for
the first formal session of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy which
began its twenty-fifth annual conven-
ton here today. At welcoming
evening" last night Governor Stanley,
the principal speaker, pleaded for a
"rejuvenation of old-fashioned states
rights" which he declared was "the
thing to save America from centrallz-
ed government, state ownership and
Bolshevism." Governor Stanley spoke
"as the son of a rebel brigadier" in
flagdraped hall where the "stars and
Bars" of the Confederacy entwined
with the "Stars and Stripes" and the
flaps of Americas Allies were hung
ahout pictures of famous Confederate
army leaders.
Plans to turn the activities of the
organization from tt.e pursuits of war
to the paths of eace today developed
a proposal to discontinue gathering
funds for the support of Red Cross
hospital at Neuilly, France, and de-
vote the money to establishing schol-
arship for wounded men in all
branches of +he service.
