One tnlng certain ABOUT the
November End presidential
election is that Mississippi vot-
ers, insofar as the ballot goes,
will have the opportunity to
make a free and unbiased
choice when they go to the
polls. The sample ballot, re-
ceived Wednesday, lists the
presidential electors of five
candidates for president and
the only reason it did not list
those of the remainder is that
no effort was made by these
parties to qualify a slate of
electors. The Thurmon- Wright
electors head the list and are
labeled nominees of the Mis-
sissippi Democratic party with
the Truman-B Barley slate next
under the designation of NOM
inees of the National Demo-
cratic party" The electors of
three other parties, the lilly
white" Republicans, "black-and
tam Republicans and the Wal
lace Progressives follow and
are plainly designated.
The Mississippi ballot will be
in marked contrast to those of
our sister states of louisiana
and Alabama, and everal 9TH
III 1t took a special session of
the Louisiana legislature to
place the Truman-B arkley cleo
tors on the ballot in that state.
However, they we're denied the
Democratic label and, as a mat
ter of fact. gained a place on
the ballot only because of the
desire of Governor Long to play
both sides of the political fence.
Then in Alabama the Truman
Barley electors have been de.
MED a place on the ballot and
the people of that state will
be given no chance to make a
free and unbiased choice. We
know similar tactics have been
followed in other states against
the Thurmond Wright ticket,
but these instances have been
few, and two wrongs don't
make a right. Actions by both
sides smell like the tactics of
two-bit fuehrers.
The fight in the last session
of the Mississippi legislature
that resulted in passage of the
necessary laws to give Missis-
sippians a free choice at the
polls was not easy. Had it been
left to some leaders in the
States Rights movement, the
Mississippi ballot would be
similar to that in Louisiana or
Alabama, as a hard and bitter
undercover fight was waged
against the Mullen bill which
opened the ballot to the cleo
tors of any party who went
through easy and simple pro-
lceedures of qualifying their
electors. This is as it should
be in a free country.
The same group that pushed
through the legislature the So

bill, which would set up a
three-man dictatorship in each

of Mississippi's 81 counties, also
opposed passage of the Mullen
bill. At the time they were hes
liant to wage an open fight,
and as a result good sense and
Democracy prevailed and the
bill was passed. We also believe
that, fortunately for Mississippi,
the proposed vicious constitu-
tional amendment which would
require a person to be of good
moral character without de-
filming what constitutes this par
ticular category of social be-
havior in the minds of the
Eastland- Sillers clique, will be
we'll taken care of by the voters
on November End who will turn
it down by a landslide vote.
The dream stuff from that
pipe of Jim Eastland continues
to get in the nostrils of some
folks, and gives rise to strange
and fantastic utterances while
they are under it's influence,
chief among which is that the
election of the president will
be thrown into the national
House of Representatives. Now
comes State Senator John
Farese, a native of Boston, we
believe. Senator Farese, who
spoke before a States Rights
rally of students at Ole Miss,
labeled himself a Southern
convert" and urged other dam
yankees in the South who don't
agree with us to take up resi-
dence North of the Mason
Dixon line. He also said that
the combined States Rights and
Truman vote would overcome
the Dewey lead and throw the
presidential election into the
national House of Representa-
tives.
In keeping with Senator
Farese's ultimatum to the
Northern traitors who live
amongst us, we might suggest
that we erect a stockade along
the Mason-D Dixon line, organ
ize in both North and South
an efficient squad of thought"
police to round up the dam
yankees in the South and the
Rebels in the North (for we are
sure there must be some South
erners in the North, maybe
even a couple of Mississippians
who, despite the fact that they
make their living there, own
property and have other ties,
still do not agree with Truman
and Dewey We could all meet
at the North-South detention
wall, have a big barbecue and
exchange prisoners, and every
body would be satisfied except,
possibly, the prisoners. But
they, the traitors, don't count.
Political expediency is some
a strange and creaking
vehicle. But we have wandered
off our course, and briefly re-
turn to again congratulate Mis-
sissippians on the free choice
that will be theirs on Novem-
Der End.
