Unpaged - 12 pages including covers. Staple-bound paperback booklet: H 14cm x L 10.75cm. Light vertical crease at booklet's center; foxing and soiling to covers; past owner's ink signature and personal blind-stamp to front cover as well; slight foxing at gutter margins of interior pages which otherwise remain clean. Binding is firm. Scarce gubernatorial campaign booklet for the vile bigot Ross Barnett with the booklet offering the candidate's eight primary campaign policy points and promises, the first of which is his absolute advocacy for segregation. "Introduction" on pages 2-3 by State Campaign manager John E. Gregg. Pages 11-12 feature the poem "Let Me Live in a House by the Side of the Road" by New England poet Sam Walter Foss which was first published in 1897. Although undated presumably this booklet was published circa 1959 preceding Barnett's successful Democratic party nomination and election to Mississippi's governorship (in office January 19, 1960 to January 21, 1964). Barnett unsuccessfully ran in the Democratic primaries in 1951 and 1955 but, as the booklet's text cites the May 1954 Black Monday Supreme Court decision, there is a slight possibility the booklet may have been issued for Barnett's 1955 campaign. OCLC only locates a single institutional holding (University of Mississippi).
