Mike Conner Asks
Reelection On
Past Record
Large Crowd Supporters
Hear Cundidute For
Governor Here Wed,

Hon. Mike Conner, Candidate fol-
governor, spoke to a large crowd OF
friends and supporters in Durant
late "Wednesday afternoon at the
Dixie Theatre.
Preceding his speech the crowd
was entertained by a group of cow
boy singers which MIR. Conner takes
around with him in his campaign
over the state.
The cowboys got big reception
from the crowd.
C. n. Carruth, superintendent OF
schools, introduced the speaker OF
the day.
Mr., Conner Spoke in part as fol-
lows:
4 ask the people of Mississippi
to return me to the governors of
flee on my record as a citizen and
public official, and If they APP
prove the principles, policies and
ideals of government for which l
always have fought and am still
fighting.
Judgment, thought and patriot
ism, not prejudice, sympathy or self
ishness, must control the selection
Of our officials, If the people are to
prosper and rejoice.
Government is a science and a
business a plaything or a pass
time. The employment of a gov
ernor for our state for the next four
years is matter of great business
Importance to all our people. The
selection should be made on a BUSH
ness basis. You do not owe the gov
ernor's office to any man. You do
owe TO yourselves and your loved
ones the duty to employ the best
man available.
''The only logical and safe test OF
candidate is the record of his
accomplishments. The Master SID:
by their fruits. we shall know them"
Actions speak louder than words.
We employ people in our private af-
fairs not because of their promises
for the future. but because or their
experience and proved ability--their
accomplishments.
I'm lieu of promises, the people
are demanding experience and &C
complishments. Wise men have said;
Experience Is the greatest of all
teachers" There Is no substitute
for experience THE future may
be judged only by the light of the
past"
Why Am A Candidate
my candidacy is prompted by a
desire to serve my state, the state
of my birth and of my choice, the
state whose schools educated me and
whose laws have protected me and
my loved ones, the state in whose
soil my ancestry for generations sleep,
and where I shall find my last rest
ing place when the final summons
comes.
Some have asked me why I con-
tinue in politics. From my youth up
| / have been interested in govern
mental affairs. Early in life I chose
the pathway Of public service rather
than the road to private gain. My
choice was approved and encouraged
by my mother and father, to whose
toll and sacrifices I owe all of what
ever have been able to accomplish
in life.

Explains PIotform To
Friends, Supporters

Advocating a give and take" pol
icy in the conduct Of the state gov
eminent and disclalnine any desir'
to be dictator, Paul johnson brough
his campaign for the governorshiI
into Holmes county at Durant Sat
urday afternoon with a speech to &
large trades day crowd here.
The speaker was introduced by
Carl Drake, Durant attorney, WHIT
was master of ceremonies.
Complete revision of the states rev.
enue system with a view to simplifi
cation and the elimination of many
of the existing annoyances was urged
by Judge johnson along with his
advocacy of free textbooks for the
elementary grades of the public
schools, old age pensions of a dollar
day, So automobile tags and ade-
quate disqualification of the poor.
IF you will elect me your governor,
he said, I'm go down there and sit
down with the legislature and other
officials whom you send to Jackson
whoever they may be, and we will
work out program for the average
man in Mississippi.
II have no desire to be a dictator
want to serve my people-not die
tate to them.
That is why 1 am not taking any
part in any other races in this cam
paign. I'm on the best of terms with
all the candidates and 1 am not 60
ing to take sides in their contests.
I am running for governor and If l
am elected I'll work with whoever
you elect to the other offices"
In his discussion of taxation, Judge
Johnson pointed out the sales tax
which he mentioned.
you can't buy anything with it
and you can't buy anything without
It." he said. That's just about all
you have got from the last two adj
in this state-nothing
with hole in it,"
Again mentioning the boast of one
Of his opponents that he had bal
anced the budget Judge Johnson
declared that he had done it Eat the
expense OF suffering humanity"
Mr. Johnson stated that taxes now
amount to confiscation, that he was
in favor of rewriting the whole tax
structure, and he was not in favor
of charging sales tax on professional
services.
The speaker stated that If he was
elected governor he would stop the
Capitalization of affairs in Jackson
protecting the rights of municipal
and county authorities.
Judge johnson stated that we are
state in economic slavery regard
less of how much progress we have
made and will continue to make. He
said that he was in favor of free
school books so that all of our PEG
pie could be educated. This would
cost 100000 the first year and about
100000 year to maintain.
TIs said that he was also in favor
of paying the teachers a living wage
and creating retirement fund fol
them.
" Oh. yes, we balanced the budget,
he said, ''but how did we do it? VIZ

interests. We have just begun to
wake up, just now getting sense
enough in our poor heads to assert
our rights.
The south is not asking for any
thing it doesn't deserve. We ask
only for equality.
That isn't too much to ask, is it,
Mr.. Bowen?
IF we had one wish today that
/ could be granted to help our beloved
south we would ask for conscientious
honest. capable leadership, a leader
ship that truly loves the south and
would not betray or desert 1t.
We need real leaders even more
| than we need education.
| Given those leaders and education
/ for the masses the south will ad
vance and take its rightful place a:
the leading section of our country
From this condition would come
a more abundant life for every south
ern man, woman and child.
Our sincere sympathy goes out this
week to Editor r. A. Povall, Lexing
ton, in the loss of his beloved wife
Gretchen, who passed away Satur
day.
The many beautiful floral offer
ings were mute testimony of the uni
versal high regard in which thi:
christian woman was held.
| She will continue to live in tn
memory of her friends.

OTHERS VIEWS
THE COLLEGE GRADUATE
RETURNS HOME

10 CIl0 EQllOI.
In answer to Mrs. U. B. AleXand-
er's supplication in favor of college
graduates returning home this spring.
Mrs. AleXander's supplication for
the college graduate reminds me Of
Mr.. Wright's rabid pleas for poor
persons. Things just aren't done that
way. In spite of the rawlings of the
pulpit artists, idest, do unto others
as you would be done by; turn the
other cheek; the good Samaritan"
eminent thing that any honest OBJ
server can note. Such people as Mrs.
Alexander and Mr. Wright, who
make honest pleas to help some one
whom they think needs help, never
stop to think that the "Joness are not
interested in the Smith children,
and vice versa. If Mrs. Alexander
and Mr.. Wright were psychologists,
they would realize that persons are
so wrapped up in their own personal
affairs that they igve only a modicum
of conscious thought to the welfare
of their felloWbeings. Most charity
work is done as a means of social

sons, or in hopes of gaining reward

Reducing Deafness
Is Aim Of Science

for air so that the ear drum can
move freely and allow perfect hear
ing. But it also provides a passage
way for germs in the throat, espe-
cially in the adenoid tissue that sur
rounds it's lower end, to enter the
middle ear, causing middle ear in
lection and disease.
Even after thorough removal Of
the tonsils and adenoids some islands
Of adenoid tissue may grow back
around the throat end of the Eusta-
chan tube and cause obstruction
which alone would impair hearing.
But they also threaten the middle
ear with chronic Inflammation and
as time goes on this gets worse; in
adult life it may lead to deafness.
Unnoticed at First
In the beginning the deafness is
unnoticed because only hearing for
vibrations of 10000 to 10000 is i'm
paired. Ordinary conversation or
singing can be perfectly understood
if there is no impairment in the
middle range Of from $50 to 5000
vibrations.
In treatment after the condition
is recognized - and this is by no
means easy; in fact, impossible by
ordinary methods-the first step is
to protect the child in every way
from colds, which stimulate the
growth of this lymphoid tissue.
Proper clothing, plenty of sleep and
nutritious diet are commanded. 1t
is a mistake to put the child on an
open porch or in a cold room at
night. The most thorough surgical
removal of all tonsillar and adenoid
tissue is done. Then, if the lymphoid
nodules grow back, application of
small doses of radium are made.
By carrying this sort of work out
thoroughly, the observing doctors
believe that the number of deaf
adults in the next generation could
be reduced by 500.

it is based on a study which has been
carried on for ID years, because it
has behind it the authority Of Johns
Hopkins Medical School, and finally
because it points out a constructive
method of procedure in order to pre-
vent deafness.
