Jewish Deputies May Not Vote for
Narut0wicz' Successor.
Warsaw--It is held to he highly prob
able that the Jewish members of the
National Assembly will not participate
in the balloting for the new Polish
President. the date of which will he
fixed when the Assembly cOnvenes
Wednesday. This question has been the
subject of prOtracted debates in the
Jewish Deputies Club. A strong argu-
ment against participation. vigorously
advanced by conservative Jewish Depn-
ties. Is that the almost unanimous sup
port the Jewish group mustered during
the ballOting in favor Of NarutOwfcz
has been the cause of riOting against
the Jews. frequently leading to blood
shed. and generally vcrging on n pogrom
movement
The Nationalist and Zionist Deputies
strongly oppose this view, believing it
to be an net of cowardice to abstain
from the voting because of the cam
paign of frightftilness against the Jews
engineered by Polish Fascist.
Although no decision has yet been
reached. the clear intention OF the Jew
islf group at the moment seems to he
to abstain from the voting. the highly
agitated state OF the country overcom-
ing the convictions of the more radical
among the Jewish Deputies.

CARD OF THANKS TO
THE VOTERS OF
YALOBUSHA COUNTY

| heartily extend my thanks to
the voters of Yalobusha County for
their courteous treatment and also for
the splendid moral support given me
by many friends during my recent
race for place in the Mississippi
Legislature. Everywhere that we
went, and at all gatherings, was
accorded fair and courteous recep-
ton, even by those who had hitherto
been strangers to me. l especially
desire to express my thanks to the
candidates for the different offices
Tor their courteous treatment extend
ed to me during our association in
the campaign. During the short
period of our campaigning associa-
tion learned to appreciate each
candidate as friend, and / expect
to retain this kindly friendship as a
jewel in the casket of memory.
While do not get the Office to
which l aspired, and while the votes
cast for me are far below the number
expected, yet I have no complaint to
make. The privilege to vote for
our officers under the protection of
our Republic is a very important one,
and it is best for us to always appre-
ciate the fact that we do not give a
man an office simply as an honor to
him, nor to reward him for good
citizenship. We give the office to
him to be capable, honest, and effici-
ent for service in the office to which
he aspires.
! congratulate my two opponents
who are left in the run off. AS
citizens they are splendid gentlemen.
and both of them are my personal
friends In the next primary will
vote for one of them, but l cannot
express myself as giving my prefer
ence to either one of them. No mat
ter which one may be successful, I
shall always feel kindly toward both
OF them for the kindness to me dur
ing this campaign.
