Collins Names Bruce c. Auliman
Campaign Manager For Senate Race

A. Collins, candidate for the
United States Senate, announced
today the appointment of Bruce
c. Aultman, of Hattiesburg, Miss,
as his Campaign Manager for the
forthcoming primary election.
Mr.. Aultman is a native of
Lamar County, and prior to his
enlistment in the U. S. Army.
~practiced law in Hattfesburg.
He attended grade and high
school in Lamar County. After
graduating from the Pearl River
Junior College at Poplarville,
he entered the University of Mis-
sissippi and there obtained his
law degree in 1888.
In July, 1912 Aultman enlisted
in the u. S. Army. From private,
he rose through the ranks to a
captain in the Army Air Forces.
Recently separated from the
army, he determined to devote
his energies to placing Mr.. Col
Inns in the United States Senate
before resuming the private prac-
tice of law. Mr.. Aultman's state
ment to the people of Mississippi
follows:
Aulfman's Statement
s1n accepting the opportunity to
manage the campaign of Hon.
Ross Collins for the United States
Senate, I am exercising a high
duty of citizenship consistent
with the principles for which
my comrades in uniform have
fought and died. We have won
the victory. We have now the
duty to Preserve the peace.
"As a Mississippian and as a
World War ii veteran, / must
accept the challenge of respon-
sibility and the duty to respond to
the call of good leadership in
the present crisis.
"If / were to yield to person
al interest, l would avoid the
cares and turmoil Of a political
campaign land Immediately re-
sumo the practice of law. While
the uniform has been triumphant
" laid aside, the fight to make
Mississippi and the world a safe
and more decent place for nan
kind continues in greater inten-
sity. Indifference to moral and
social evils, economic crueltics
and political disgrace, will not
go unchallenged by the soldiers
who fought this war for denioc-
racy.
Ross Collins has served the
people of Mississippi well as At
torney General for 8 years, and
as a Congressman for 20 years.
He has made IL successful cam
paigns. This is one of the out
standing of political success in
the history of our state. It is
certainly not surpassed by any
candidate who flashes many dia-
monds, lives in palatial dream
mansions, one for each Of his
moods, some being built at enor-
nous cost to somebody during
times of war while housing facili-
ties we're inadequate to soldiers
loved ones.
Proven Leadership"
"Ross Collins private life, his
proven leadership and sttesman-
shipj, the confidence and esteem
of the people both at home and
abroad, and the respect and in
fluence he enjoys among the
leaders of the nation, are as much
appreciated by Mississippians as
his courteous manner, pleasing
personality, vision, determination
and courage.
CAS- one who is familiar with
the powerful and deadly instru
ments of warfare, 1t is my con
viction that if all of the recon-
mendations of Ross Collins in the
United States Congress had been
- - =AaEHL.- 81 HLr
accepted, the war would have
been much shorter and thousands
of casualties would have been
avoided.
THE time has come to put
an end to demagoguery, cheap
showmanship and Glowing, and
appeals to base and sordid emo
tions. Two wars for Democra-
cy have already been fought in
one generation. Real woinanhood
and manhood of Mississippi arc
praying for tranquility instead of
strife, unity instead of discord,
peace instead of warfare. They
know that democracy, Christian
ity and sanity have their existence
in love, craftsmanship, and broth
erhood.
IF you desire to join me in
continuing the fight for the lofty
ideals and noble principles for
which we fought-if YOU want
courageous leadership in the Sen
ate, someone who viii UNFOLD
Southern Democracy ana our
Constitution in a dignified and eff
feetive way, someone who will
u cause and faithfully serve
