"We call this Cleanup Day be-
cause under Mike Conner's leader
ship we are going to cleanup Mis-
sissippi He has led this fight for
decency and good government and
his friends are going to put him in
the Governors office to finish the
job. He is the one candidate in this
race who has been able and willing
to roll up his sleeves and wade In to
this bunch of corrupt politicians who
have dragged Mississippi down for
eight years. Bilbo and Russell fear
him because of his promise TO open
the books and have a general house
cleaning in Mississippi. They seek to
kill Conner off in the First Primary
so as to have an easy time with
Whitfield in the second. But we are
going to guarantee Mike going over
with a magnificent lead by setting
aside this one day on which those who
appreciate the fight he is making
will work solely for him and his el-
ection.
"As Mr.. Conner said in n recent
speech: Mississippi faces q crisis like
that of Reconstruction. Politicians,
carpetbaggers and scalawages have
been at the head for the past eight
years. Now Lee Russell seeks 70
perpetuate his corrupt regime by max
ing his personally anointed Grown
Prince succeed him, while the un-
speakable Bilbo seeks political come
back in order to get q strangle hold
on the state. Our fathers cleaned
out the carpethaggers in the seven
ties. The thousands of self respect
ing men and women who love Mis-
sissippi are rallying beneath my ban
ner and supporting me In my effort
to 'srive these political money chang
