TO the Mississippi Voter:

To the Mississippi Voter:
The Holmes county Noel Cam
paign Club requests your earnest
consideration of the candidacy of
Hon. E. +. Noel for the high Office
Iof governor. We are in deep ear
nest about his candidacy, and we
appeal to you to support him.
We base our appeal on his past
services to the State, some of
which are discussed in these col
umns. Is it not result of his
efforts that your voice is as strong
as any mans in choosing the chief
executive and the States officers. I.
Do you remember how these Off
GERS were chosen before the enact
ment of the Noel Primary Elec-
tion Laws DO you know that
the county politicians generally
hello county convention, in
which you had but little part.
and selected delegates to the State
convention; and that the State
convention, in which you had no
part at all, made the nomina-
tions! And yet, although you
took little or no stock in either
convention, this was the vital and
| all important step in the election
scheme. Why? Because the nom
inee was always elected, as a mat
ter of course, there being but one
party in this State; and you, 10y
al to the party, always supported
the nominee. Probably you had
never seen him or heard of him
until after he was nominal ed, but
you supported him. To nominate
was to elect. The nomination was
what the candidate sought. The
general election took care of it.
self.
And how was the choice of the
people for the nominee determined
IN the convention? In far too
many instances by wire pulling,
by breaches of good faith, by po-
litical trading, and swapping and
trickery, by rings and grafters
and combinations, and by every
sort of political cheating and ques-
tionable political practices; often
lby running in a dark horse. This
too, where the nomination was
the essential thing, for as was
said above, there being but one
party, the nominee, whether
chosen by primary election or
convention, is sure of election in
the general lection.
The nomination, therefore, be-
ing the thing of primest import
ance in the election scheme in our
State, and you and thousands of
voters in Mississippi having no
part or voice in the nomination,
E. F. Noel, then Senator from our
county, introduced in the senate
the primary election bill provid-
ing that nominations for Office
should be made at the ballot box
by the voters. The bill was de-
feated at the first session. 1t was
by him introduced again at the
next session, and was enacted in

He Says That Congress VIII Be Asked to Act on MT. CIaytOn's Third Term Res-

Washington, Dec. 21.-tSpecial.>- >-- Representative Hefins cannot help thinking, as do many other Democrats in the House. that President Roosevelt may go back on even his recent dec laration.
 Democrats holding such views insist that the anti-third term resolution of- fered by Mir. Clayton, smoked out the President, and somehow MT. Hefin can't help thinking that ioophoie may be left to the President. on whicn point he said today:
 Gan it be possible that the Presi- dent hastened to give out his state ment to the press in the hope that the Clayton resolution would not be acted on, and then. well. if the Republican Contention should nominate nm against his wishes there would be nc condemnation of such course by Con- gross. f-
 "You see if the thing stands as It IS the President could say. The matter was up to Congress and no action was taken But you may be assured tna' Congress will have an opportunity tc act. Nil Clayton will call up ms res oIution and the Democrats who have always opposed. anything that smacKeo of the third term idea will. of courSf support it. I believe that majority of the Republicans will also supper' it. We will at least have an oppor' tunity to show the country how tht two parties stand on this vital aues- tion ..I.E

Birmingham. Dec. 21.-(Speciai)--- United States Senator John H. Bank head is in the Cunningham Infirmary at Ensley. the steel suburb of Birming- ham. having undergone an operation for an abscess in the left shoulder, tho result of his recent spell of penumonia. It is stated that the operation was not an extensive one and that the pa tent is recovering rapidly and Is able to sit up In bed and that in day or two he will be able to be out. pr. R. M. Cunningham, former Lieutenant Governor of Alabama. performed the operation. The following statement was given out this morning by pr. Cunningham:
 As Is well known. Senator Bank head had an. attack of prontons pneu- monia a few weeks ago. From this at- tack he has recovered. On the sixth day of the pneumonia attack he de- veioped pains and soreness in the left shoulder. This has been under treat ment since. There is no necessity for his being in the hospital. but he Is here as much my guest as my patient. He has been going to Birmingham every day. He Is doing very well.
 < .R. M. Cunningham. Nj. D..
 Senator Bankhead intended taking . trip to Florida this week. in fact, it was reported that. he had already gone to that State and the encouragement that a slight operation had been found necessary caused some comment and brought about the request for a state- nient as to the Senator's condition.
 A telephone message from Ensley this afternoon indicated that Senator Bankhead would be out again tomor- row or the next day. His family is not with him and there Is Sno appre- henslon whatsoever as to his condition
