Letters To The Editor
Winona, Miss,
July Is, 1851
Mrs. Hazel Smith, Editor
Lexington Advertiser,
Lexington, Miss,
My Dear Mrs. Smith:
g. good morning lady, no axe
to grind, but | am really dis
turbed, and therefore, your klno
indulgence in trying to solve a
big question at this time" VIZ;
"WhoI Is The Matter With The
Candidates?"
They romp from one enc of the
state to the other, in a state OF
confusion, and the electorate OF
Mississippi await with eager ears
to know just what to do in select
ing a governor to guide and safe
guard the lives of two million peo-
pie for the next four years, and
get very little; while the Machine
Politicians smile at their total lg-
norance of the real issues con-
fronting them:
Mr.. Hugh White is the biggest
Liability that the State of Missis-
sippi has had on its hands (for the
past Is years. since the problem
of the Civil War days. And the
, people are led to believe he Is a
Moses, especially trained to lead
Mississippi out of some sort OF a
Dark age.
Look AT His Record:
In 1886, the year of his first
administration as governor, he
Seized the Land Commissioners
Office, and put one of his Pet
Puppets in the job. He imported
a Second Puppet" from Calhoun
City, Mississippi and made him
the Assistant To The-Land Com
missioner" (of his own cholce),
and between the three, they sold
and gave away, the potential re-
sources of Mississippi in the form
of Land and Timber, to his fri
ends
AS Director OF the Agricultural
and Industrial Board. he was
granted from the Mississippi Leg
islature in 1916 the sum total of
$215, 100000, and for the year 1948,
he was given by the Legislature
$276, 900 90, and for the year 1850
Ito last from June 80, 1851 to
July /, 1882 was given
$500, 000. 90, and by this time he
had set-up an Agricultural En-
dustrial Commission" which was
given SIS, 10000. (What the Peo-
pie of Mississippi should know. IS
Who Is The A. and I. Commits
sion ? - What Do They Do?
How Do They Function? and what
Good r TREY to the people?")
Now Mr., White goes around
telling the Electorate He doesn't
want the Money the Job pays, or
the Honor. or for any promises he
is going to make.
The appropriations made by
Our Legislature for the A. and T..
Board has been spent, misadminis-
tered and squandered by the
"Gag-Cusiom" of the B. A. w. l..
for the sole purpose of Mr.. White
and his Friends to visit and en-
terrain Capitalists all over the
world, to come in Mississippi on a
"Tax.Free.- a "Factory-Free" ba-
sis. After the Tax Payers and tine
business men and the Farmers
WHO Have Never Been Given l
Cent Worth of Free Taxes or
Remit voted a Bonded Debt on
themselves and their children to
pay the bill for a decade to come.
II Isn't Right. And The People
Should Know that Mr.. White po-
SEES as an Honest Man and a Friend
Of The People. when he is just a
Tool for the Rich and the Privil-
eyed Class.
The Record speaks for Itself.
and if any high-school boy will
refer to the General Laws of 1916
and l948 and 1850, Index to APP
propriations) and can truthfully
deny these facts, $1,000 will be
gladly paid.
May God in His Infinite Wisdom
Save the People of Mississippi
from the Inscriptions Desires
and Tricks of a Crooked Politi-
cal Machine.
Most cordially yours,
Robert S. Greer,
