We Endorse Coleman

Judge j. p. Coleman of Alderman now serving an I'M
expired term Attorney General of the state OF Mssls-
sippi has announced candidate for full term in this
office in his own right.
It is not the usual policy of this newspaper to work
for any political candidate Our columns are always open
to nj candidates equally and regret that do not have
more space for the candidates.
But Attorney General Coleman is man OF such integfr
ty and ability that feel must endorse his candoacy
and the wish that he win this high post without nav
ing opponent.
Certainly could look the state of Mississippi over
and find any who could better fulfill the duties and
obligations of this important office He has the intellect
energy and ambition to do any job well and in this part
cuar office he represents the state of Mississippi in the
most satisfactory manner possible
Attorney General Coleman is the kind of man who
makes realize all lawyers aren't crooksbut that some
of them do live the highest standard of legal ethics in
this honorable profession
If we had more of the Coleman calibre in law
and judicial offices throughout the nation
would not have crime syndicates in Amerca-and two-bt
hoodms could not make mockery of law and order the
community level.
