preserve the Democratic party as the
people of the Southland have known
and supported through the years.
Wearing of the buttons does not
indicate that any person has aligned
himself with new party, but rather
indicates his desire to see the De-
mocratic party remain true to its
original principles as set down by
Thomas Jefferson.
1t is expected that every true De-
mocrat will join in the movement
to purge the party of those who
would infringe on states rights by
inaugurating such legislation as pre-
scribed in the Presidents civil rights
recommendations to Congress.
Governor Fielding l.. Wright of
Mississippi bought and is wearing
the first of the States Rights JEFF
fersonian buttons. He is the first man
to stand up for States Rights against
the Truman civil rights program.
The Mississippi chief executive has
never advocated boiling the Demo-
cratic party. He urges, instead, that
the contrary elements be run out of
the party, and calls for holding to the
traditions and ways of life in the
Southland.
Indication Of the rapid sales of the
States Rights buttons and evident
manner in which the populace of
the state and Southland is grasping
at the opportunity to keep the De-
mocratic Party true to its inherent
ideals is given in many communica-
tons received here.
It is interesting to note that Al
corn county, bordering on the Ten
nessee line, sold out Of its initial
shipments of the States Rights but
tons even before the countrywide

ago.

River from Jackson, the populace
has purchased all of the initial ship
ment and 1000 additional badges are
ordered by ]. c. Murray, chairman

Down in Stone county of south

A Plan That
Works

We have all seen the unsatis-
factory results, at one time or,
another, of attempting to con-.
troll conditions by prohibiting
the legal sale of beer. 1t has
been a most unsuccessful plan.
Now, here's another plan
. plan that I've seen work. and
/ know that all you folks in le-
gal beer counties and many in
the prohibition counties, will
agree with me that it's the best
plan.
The legal plan of selling beer
prevents many of the crimes
that originate at the bootleg
gers den. The legal sale of beer
keeps this beverage of modera-
ton in it's proper place-out in
the open where the public. the
law-enforcement officers n d
the Mississippi Division OF the
U. 8. Brewers Foundation can
control the conditions surround
ing its sale.
From where l sit, I'd say that
anyone is foolish who would
trade the legal sale Of beer with
all its many advantages for the
undesirable conditions we can't
prevent when the bootlegger 10

for aiding the recovery of Western
European nations should have the
support of Christians everywhere.
He spoke at the Washington Cathe-
dral.
He added, the plan was one that
would bring new life and hope to
vast multitudes of Gods despairing
children" The plan is designed to
rebuild a broken world upon a basis
of brotherhood and cooperation
and would enable the stricken ma
tions to help themselves, he said.
The Episcopal church leader as
serted that right thinking people
can not but be disturbed and dis
mayed" by the resistance the Mar
shall Plan has encountered not only
in Russia but among important peo-
pie in this country. There is danger
it may become the object of con-
troversy among those whose con-
Germ is limited to selfish partisan
and political ambitions" he said.

J. 5. FreIinghuysen,
Former New Jersey
Senator, Dies at Is
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 9. Joseph
Sherman Frelinghuysen, 7S, who
served as Senator from New Jersey
from 1917 to 1923, died last night.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, Republican,
had been suffering from heart all
ment for some time. He and his
wife were staying at Pima County
guest ranch near Tucson. Yester-
day afternoon he took turn for
the worse and was brought to
Tucson. His wife was with him
when he died in a hotel here. A
physician said death probably was
caused by coronary occlusion.
He was born in Raritan, N. j.,
March IL, 1869. At the age of 10
he entered the insurance business
as an Office boy and later borrowed
$1,000 and welded together q large
combination of insurance companies.
At the time of his death he was
president of the j. s. Frelinghuysen
Corp. and the Stuyvesant Insur-
ance Co.
He was the fourth of his name
to sit in the Senate His staunch
support of prohibition was held re-
sponsible for his defeat for re-
election in 1922 by Edward I. Ed
wards, a Democrat.
tHe was veteran of the Spanish
American War, in which he served
as lieutenant in the New York
Cavalry. His first contact with pol
itics was as a candidate for the New
Jersey State Senate on the Repub-
lican ticket at the end of that war
He was defeated but later served
two terms. For a few days during
his 1910-1912 term he was acting
Governor of the State.
Mr.. F'relinghuysen was a close
friend Of Presidents Harding and
rnaliNoa
