really out after those votes.

He says he believes in free
dom of religion. His theory
on welfare is worthy of note.
too. He says if he is elected
governor, he will demand
from Washington one dollar OF
every fifty spent. He says
we are due this because we
are one of fifty states.
He said that welfare in MIS-
sissippi exceeds income from
industry or cotton and if we
can get our share, with the
money turning over several
times in the state drawing in
terest and profits with each
turnover, we won't have a
thing to worry about econo-
mically.
