1t has been the fixed policy and purpose of The Post to
stand for what in our judgment, is for the best interests of the
and order.
we take pride in reciting the fact that we supported Hon.
1ohn NJ. Stone, not only in his campaign for the Governorship,
ana subsequently believing that James K. Vardeman was not
gwen a square deal by the secret caucus legislature and that
those who were responsible for his defeat should not triumph
" e supported Senator Vardaman. 1t was the right thing to do.
Inc fost has not hesitated to support a cause it deemed
rignt' even II 1T happened to be locally unpopular, or even
though such espousal meant loss of business to this paper, as
has often been the case.
Dur1ng the last campaign for the gOvernorship The Post
careiuliiy considered the candidates in the field and came to the
conclusion that Hon. Oscar Johnston was best fitted to serve in
that very important office.
bllbo had conducted the office in a partisan manner and in
aSmuch as ne and Russell were the closest pals and their minds
ran In the same channel The Post believed that should RUSSELL
oe erected as chief executive of Mississippi another partisan adj
mlnistration would follow.
Events that have happened up to the present have ampIv
proven TINS. Governor Russell has been mixed up in a lot of
mario" little squabbles in which he has always sided in a par
usan manner. His abuse of the pardoning power in a number
OF tiagrant cases, his fight on the insurance companies of the
state, ms feeling shown in the Goldsby matter and his desire to
nelp his political associates in this notorious case are lust O
samples or now the governorship is being conducted at present.
More than ever now we feel it incumbent upon us as a duty
70 tne people OF this State, that we should oppose the present
State administration. W. are firmly of the opinion that it does
o represent the best Interests of the State, and that the people
rise up in their might and retire the members of the ad-
mHlStrauon at the very earliest moment. To that end we are

1t would seem a matter of super-
fluffy to talk to those who know
about automobiles about the durable
ness and adaptableness of the Dodge
ar. 1t is the car for the man who
wants the most for his money. 1t is
the business car it is the car for
travel and for speed. 1t will run as
far as the next on the least possible
quantity of gasoline and is one of the
easiest machines made to drive. So
what more could one want?

able citizens and capable business
men. They will make good any pro-
mise they make and can be relied up
on for being accommodating and for
wanting to retain the good will and
the friendship of all with whom they
deal. This paper, therefore, feels
no hesitancy in directing the atten-
ton of automobile purchasers and
those in need of car repairing to the
