The Bolivar County Democrat says
the next great political battle will be
between Senator McLaurin and Sena-
tor Money. 1t cannot be averted. 1t
is already in the air. McLaurin will
strike with Nse hand of some other
man. The senior Senator will win.
But he has thrown away golden OPP
portunity in sparing his adversary,
when the time seemed ripe for his de.
feat. 1t may be that Money prefers
to let the influence OF McLaurin grow
cold or pass away.
