Dennis ScOrns Attempt
of Hechlers to Drown
Voice Woman Speaker

MERIDIAN, August 11-Dennis Muir
phree called the roll, his Irish blood
aroused, when hecklers attempted to
drown with shouts the voice of Mrs. Sid
Conner of Hattiesburg who spoke in his
behalf.
From the Tennessee line to the Gulf
of Mexico the supporters of Albert An

phree have never tried to break up a
public meeting or insult a woman" fired
the governor in the opening words of his
speech here on Saturday night before
a vast audience on the city hall lawn.
Mrs. Conenr in speaking har refer
red to "Bilboism." Groups scattered in
the open-air crowd began to shout "Hur-
few minutes and Mrs. Conner could not
be heard until the hurrahs ceased. But
she retained her pose and, when the
heckling died with even voice but bit
ing tongue she completed her talk.
When it came the governors turn to
talk, he sprang to his feet and in
fighting mood told the crowd what he

followed by tumult of applause.

you'll find none of the supporters of
these in that crowd offering affrontery
to lady speaker. You fellows may
think you are helping your candidate
by such conduct. But the first line of
decency is courtesy to women and your
conduct here tonight is going to win the
election for me because the good women
of Mississippi will not tolerate such af-
frontery.
"This kind of treatment to q lady
stirs my Irish blood and I resent it,"
The address of Mrs. Conner was one
straight to the point and was a plea for
the women of Mississippi to consider
their children and thet future in the
election of a governor. She said that it
may take "the cunning of the fox to Sc
lect his ring but that it took the honor
of a gentleman to select his friends" in

referred to the move on foot at Meridian
to bring plant of this kind to Lauder
