Mr. Brewers Speech Elevates Governor Hopeful Brewer
Hon Earl Brewer spoke in a Mississippi court room last Saturday to a large audience. He portrayed himself as an effective orator advocating law enforcement and targeting bucket shops in cotton futures. He attacked the merger of Mobile & Ohio and Southern Railways and claimed he would annul it if governor. He criticized taxes on Yazoo & Mississippi Valley lines, alleged political interference, and defended his Greenwood recount, arguing reports had misrepresented him. He cited statements about Col Scott and Mallory, and asserted bias in press coverage.
