Our readers will please forgive the
commercial in the above paragraph
but we must eat.
And though our advertisers are
generous with their patronage, as
you see by reading each issue Of this
paper, we still could not publish
the paper with the revenues received
each week from advertising alone.
It takes a good steady flow of COM
mercial printing to keep weekly
newspapers alive and flourishing.
During the var we were not staff
ed to give the kind of service we like
to give but we are now.
We hope you'll call us often.
The prediction we made in this
column last week concerning the
mass meeting at Jackson proved to
be correct.
1t was a historic meeting.
More than 5000 Democrats from
all over Mississippi packed the City
Auditorium. There was standing
Q only. The weather was bad and
we are certain there were at least
5000 who stayed away because they
figured there would be SO many
present they wouldn't be able to get
in the auditorium. OF course bad
weather and lots of flu and colds
kept many away.
Holmes county was well represent
ed at the meeting. All five super
vlsors' beats were represented and
almost all, if not all Of the voting 16
precincts in the county. We believe
the same holds true for all over the
state.
It was a meeting Of the people. .
the politicians were not in control.
Governor Wright made a very
statesmanlike. dispassionate apprai-
sal of the present political situation
provoked by President Truman's
Civil Rights program. He told the
people present he was not there to
tell them what to do but to deter
mine what the wishes Of the people
were.
Of course we realize that five
thousand people cannot speak for
the entire state but the unanimous
opinion of all those present certainly
indicates the trend of public thought
in Mississippi.
Again we say we believe the peo-
pie of Mississippi are solidly behind
Governor Wright in his denunciation
of the Civil Rights program of Presi-
dent Truman and we hope, and
believe the people of the south win
support the movement started in
Mississippi on Thursday, February
18th, 1948, for the upholding of con
stitutional government in the Unit
ed States.
Henceforth the Civil Rights pro-
gram of President Truman should
be regarded not as merely anti
southern legislation.
President Truman's program
should be regarded as an un-Ameri-
can attack on constitutional govern
ment in this country.
