The Mississippian, in a recent alIusion to the
nominees Of the Wing meeting, at jackson, asks
what Gen Bradford and Isaac N. Davis will
think. The following letter, which we copy
from the Southron, shows what Dauis thinks:


PANoLA County, August is. 1916.


Dear Sir-The ticket recommended by the
Wing meeting on the 5th inst, at Jackson, will
doubtless be received by every whig in the State
better one could not have been presented.
and for one, i shall receive my warmcst sup.
port.


Headed as it is, by a standard-bearer Of the
same family with the patriotic and gifted PAT.
rick Henry Of Virginia, it cannot fail to alarm
the opposition and inspirit our friends AL.
though our banner is tattered and torn, still we
should ever keep it ahoat, rallying to man,
under It's ample folds. ''The race is not always
TO the swift, nor the battle to the strong;'' and,
if the same patriotic ardor and noble disinter.
estedneSs shall continue to characterize the
wings Of Mississippi for which they have here
tofore been SO distinguished, that flag will vet
be seen waving in triumph over the ramparts of
our Capital. 'He whose cause is Just is dou
bly, armed, and though beaten down upon a
hundred battle fields, still should we rally our
forces, boldly face the foe, and proclaim our
principles


Having been assigned a prominent position
by the wings during last years canvass. 10 the
uttcrmost Of my feeble abilities, endeavored
to sustain their doctrines and promote their
cause, In the ranks, now, am again ready
and willing to do similar service


In the Mississippian, published day or two
after the Wing meeting in Jackson, the question
is asked ''How will Gen. Bradford and ]. N.
Davis, Of Pamela, like thus to be thrust aside?"
For myself, you know | wrote, declining anv
nomination the party might see proper to tender |
me. If however, I had been desirous TO run
for Office, and had made everv effort to get |
recommendation from the Whig meeting. |
should still be satisfied and heartily approve the |
present ticket. The most Objectionable Of all |
is doubtless more deserving his position than / |
would have been. As for Gen. Bradford, those |
who know him, will at once say, that his noble
ana d'sIn ferested services, heretofore rendered
to the wings will be full answer to the inter.
rogatory. Gen. Bradford is not whig for office: |
be has higher and holier incentive than the |
''spois."


! hope soon to see list of appointments for
zen. Henry and the candidates for Congress.


Your friend, ISAAC N. Davis
