be found the announcement of the
candidacy of Honorable A. C. Ander-
son for the Democratic nomination
for congress from the Second District.
Mr.. Anderson is well known in Mis-
sissippi He has served many years
in the state legislature. At one time
he was president pro tenn. of the state
senate. He is a man of liberal infor-
nation large legislative experience in
his state, and a enough Demo-
crat-a Democrat without variableness
or shadow of turning In the recent
political fights we have had in the
state. Mr.. Anderson has been in the
forefront of the battle as friend
of the writer.
There is not enough money in the
world to tempt Anderson to do
wrong There are not enough men
beneath the flag of our country to
intimidate or drive him from the
path of rectitude marked out by his
conscience and sense of duty to
his country.
If elected to congress to succeed
Honorable Hubert Stephens the peo-
pie of the Second District will never
have a cause to regret it-Varda-
mans Weekly, March 25, 1920.
Hon. A. C. Anderson has decided to
enter the race for Congress in the
Second District and the announcement
is very gratifying to his friends all
over the state. He is unquestionably
the best qualified man in the district
for this responsible office and we sin
cerely hope he will be elected.-Pon-
totoc Sentinel, Nov ~, 1919.
We are pleased to learn that our
friend. Hon. A. c. Anderson, editor Of
the Ripley Sentinel, will make the
race for Congress to succeed Hon..
Hubert Stephens from the 5cconu Bis
trict. Mr.. Anderson is we'll qualified
to make a good congressman and if
elected the people will have true
and tried friend in Washington. We
hope he will be elected.-Ston Coun-
ty Enterprise, Dec. 20, 1919.
A. C. Anderson, editor of the Rip
lev Sentinel, announces his candidacy
for congress against Hubert Stephens,
who defeated Tom Spight several
years ago. Bro. Anderson tried his
hand running for congress once, and
was elected to stay at home. He is
a very clever man and outside his
fetish for Vardaman, his love for Bill
: bo and admiration for Russell, he IS all
right =Clarion-Ledger.
CAs specinfsn of "damning with
fainst praise" this for Anderson
is a topnotcher.- HeraR:
oh. thanks. Col. Henry, for your
"faint praise" You are so clever! SO
original! So interesting. And here
is to you, Noble Sir,
"Thy life; may nothing vex 1t,
Thy years be not p few,
And at the final exit
{ May the devil miss his due"
+ Ripley Sentinel.
From the above, one would judge
Mr. Anderson is able to take care OF
himself, at least. He is really one
of the ablest men in the state and Is
familiar with every item of its his
tory, that pertains to it's future wei
fare. He is as honest as the late edl
tor of the Leader with whom he Ia
bored in the interest of the people
of their state, and is public-spirited
and patriotic to fault He would
serve the people who would exalt hlm
to higher office than he has yet
known.
--BNokhaven Leader, Dec. 81, 1919.
