Humanity must have a new deal. This is more than the slogan of any political candidate or party. We can only go forward under new leadership. To follow the old leadership is to go back along the way which we have already tried. The end of that way is financial and moral suicide for our State and Nation." "Fearless leaders must be found in whom the people will have confidence.

There are signs that some of the old leaders have repented and seen the light. They can't expect a following until they bring forth fruits worthy of repentance. The only hope lies in a new, young and courageous leadership who will deal righteously with men and who will assume their leadership in the fear of God," he concluded. Mr. Johnson confined his entire address to a presentation of the platform, emphasizing $3 Auto Tags, $2400 minimum teachers pay, $150 monthly taechers rate pay, heavy equipment availabe to farmers trrough agricultural agencies, $56 per month old age pension, recognition of labor's fight to bargain collectively and choose their own leaders, elimination of the counties' 10 per cent contrib-tlon to farm to market road program, and free hospitalization lor the poor.

Barnett. candidate for governor, said here Friday. In an Impassioned outline for preservation of states rights, tre 52-year-old Jackson attorney declared that President Truman caught his fingers in a bear trap when he "attempted to humiliate MississiDpl with the Northern-spawned FEPC and other left-wing acts of turmoil." "Local self government nas proved its worth since the birth of the nation," he told audiences in Water Valley and Coffeeville. This is the key to democracy. Lose that key and democracy will be imprisoned behind an iron door.

The principles firmly imbedded in our constitution place definite limitations on the federal government. We must fight to protect states rights. We cannot and will not bow to the shallot principles preached by subversive minorities and advocated by the president in the vicious FEPC and so-called civil rights bills."
