The Semi-weekly leader., 1922-08-05
Vote for Percy E. Quin for Congress-
the True, Tried and Proven
Friend of the People

MY opponent, stin pursuing his questionable
methods of undertaking to prejudice the minds of
the people against my wife and myself has issued
circular under the head HERES THE PROOF"
This makes it necessary for me to trespass upon
your patience by discussing the infamous charges
contained in this circular somewhat in detail
In this circular he introduces four witnesses
who say no service was rendered by my wife in
consideration for the salary of Clerk received by
her; viz; The Evening World, Hilton Chisholm q.
B. Belts, and Walter E. Boren,
AT the conclusion of this circular, he states
that each Of the above four alleged witnesses are
dsinterested and he then that the only proof
that my wife did the work as clerk is my state
ment to that effect and charges that R. Lee Stamps
does not say my wife did the work as such clerk,
and he submits his claim to the office he seeks en-
tirely upon the circular and closes his campaign.
Now in answering these infamous charges
made against the honor of my wife and myself, /
wish to direct your attention first to the persons
who are responsible for making the charges and
the motive upon which they are acting. The person
directly responsible for making these charges in
this campaign is Of course, H. ". Wall, himself,
and his motive is obvious to any person who thinks.
He claims that the basis upon which he makes
such charges and the foundation upon which such
charges rest is an alleged article in The Evening
World Thursday. June 9th, and in order to
give as much weight as possible to the alleged tes
timony Of The Evening World, Wall testihes in his
circular that this paper is one Of the Heading
Democratic papers Of the United States, and he
Vouches for the justice of the charges made in that
paper and he testifes to and approves the charac-
ter Of that paper such, and on that ground re-
commends il as being worthy Of credence respect
and influence in this 7th Congressional District of
the State of Mississippi. He cannot claim that his

given in ignorance Of the true character. beliefs
and policies of this publication; to the contrary
he shows by his arguments that he is thoroughly
familiar with the paper, its management, control
and policies The character and policy of this pa
per is best proven by its public declarations and
statements contained in its columns have here
tofore quoted from this paper and made public
in this Congressional District the attitude assumed
by this paper as to the south and southern inter-
ests have shown you that this paper believes in
and advocates social equality between the whites
and the blacks and that this paper south hater,
and an advocate Of destroying the safeguards we
have SO laborpusIy and carefully written into our
laws seeking to prevent such an odious condition,
Il advocated the Anti-Lynching Law
knowing this to be true. and for the sake Of
promoting his personal interest he stoops SO low ais
to recommend and commend this paper as a Demo-
crat and worthy Of exercising influence In this
Congressional District.
If it is true that this paper and its policies
and purposes are correctly described as stated By
him as leading Democratic paper and true
advocate Of the Democratic Cause iii this South
land i for one, win announce here and nov. that
shall never be q follower under such banner. i,
fer one and think every other white person ii
this district, would blush for shame il had even
unthoughtedly helped promoted Or intiipafed
