Keep the Record Straight.

Joe Bailey is a candidate foi
Governor of Texas, and it looks like
he is going to be elected.
In the first primary he held the
field. his nearest opponent being
the Hon. Pat Neff, and these two
are in the run-off. with Bailey
leading by about 5000 votes.
A correspondent of the Beaumont
(Texas) Enterprise calls attention
to the fact that Neff in a recent
speech declared that Bailey could
not qualify if elected, by reason of
the fact that he has lived in Wash
ington City for several years. which
everyone knows cannot stand as an
argument, because of the fact that
no one votes in the District of
Columbia but everyone retains his
citizenship In the state from whence
he came.
But it is not to this fact that the
Clarion-Ledger wishes to call atten-
ton. While hoping Joe Bailey the
best of luck. for the purpose of keep
ing the record straight and retaining
Mississippi's claim on her native
sons who have won position and
honor in other states. it cites the
following from the communication
referred to:
Mr.. Bailey is a native Texan
and his home is at GAINESVILLE. Texas,
and think that the gentlemen from
Waco. (Mr. Neff), will find that Mr..
Bailey is very much in the face by
time the voting day comes.
While Joe Bailey is an honor to
Texas he is not native of that state,
as the writer happens to know,
having known him fifty odd years
ago, down in the good old county
of Copiah, when his chief delight

of Starkville, Oktibbeha County.

Mr.. Cox speech of acceptance
as the Democratic nominee for
president is a document replete
with endorsement of the present
administration and pledges a con-
tinuatiOn of the Wilson ideals if
be should be elected. He favors
the league of nation without rad
zeal changes as the paramount
issues Of the campaign. If he
should be elected, his admin
istratiOn would be an epoch in
the history of this country that
would relegate the cherished
ideals Of the founders of the ma
ton and plant upon their ruins a
broader conception of democ-
raCy, not for the United States
alone but for the whole world.
The contest between the Dem
ocTatic and Republican nomi-
neeS for president will be pitched
more upon this issue than any
other and many people hereto
fore democrats or republicans
will change their party accord
ingly as they are convicted upon
this question. Especially will
this be the case in the north, the
east and the west. In the south
the Democratic vote will not be
materially affected.

Paper Situation.

There Is no improvement in the
paper situation, and newsprint paper
and high prices have caused the sus-
pension of 300 daily papers and =
200 weekly papers within the past
six months. As an exchange says.
If the conditions prevail much long
er, it is only question of how many
of the smaller newspapers of the

To the Voters of the First
Congressional District.


On next Tuesday, August 18th,
you will be called upon to vote for
State Highway Commissioners from
this congressional district. aad while
this race has been somewhat over
Swallowed by the congressional race.
| feel it my duty to impress upon
you the importance of not overlook
ing this Office or failing to vote your
choice for same. This Office was
created by the last Legislature. and
the act creating it provides specif-
cally that all privilege taxes on mo-
tor vehicles collected by the tax
collectors of the respective counties
shall be paid by him into the State
treasury, to the credit of the State
highway fund; that one-hslf of the
funds collected in each county shall
be passed to the credit of the dis
trict highway fund, and the remain
ing one-half of such funds shall be
passed TO the credit of the county
highway fund for that particular
county. 1t can therefore be clearly
seen that whoever is elected High |
way Commissioner will have no dis |
erection as to the placing of the |
above funds but will be compelled |
to see that they are credited as pro-
yided by law. At the end of four
years each county will have received |
all the automobile privilege tax
paid in by it.
Any statement by any candidate
for this office, either verbally or by
announcement, that he
will favor a different distribu ton of
these funds than that provided by
law, is simply prediction talk, and
conveys to the people an implied
promise to do something which he
knows, and everyone else who has
