Reform Needed in Mississippi Politics and Party Purge
A Mississippi writer argues for reform within the Democratic Party rather than secession to a new party. He indicts the current administration for debt, theft, penitentiary abuses, and leasing system corruption, warning that alliance with Republicans would corrupt reform and urging a mass meeting to demand constitutional reform, abolition of the leasing system, and tax relief while selecting a trusted reformer as governor.
