State Executive Committee SO
Decided Last Thursday.

The State Democratic Executive
Committee met in Jackson last
Thursday and set Aug. Ist as the
day on which the primary election
will be held
Mr.. c. G. Smith of Claiborne re-
signed as committeeman OH account
of being candidate for peniten-
tlary trustee, and Mr.. M. H. Rogers
of Port Gibson was elected to sue
ceed him.
The following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved, That the primary
election for the selection of the
nominees of the Democratic party
be held on the first day of August,
1907, and the second primary be
held on Thursday, the 22nd day of
August, 1907.
Resolved, That all candidates
for state offices are hereby request
ed to furnish the secretary of the
state executive committee with
their names on or before the 18th
day of July, 1907.
Resolved further, That candi-
dates for state Offices are advised
to furnish their names to the coun-
ty executive committee on or be-
fore the date above mentioned" f"
The resolutions as adopted give
sufficiently clear and distinct out
line of the policy that will be pur-
sued in carrying on the official end
of the present campaign, and it is
the desire of the executive commit
tee that the candidates and their
friends keep themselves posted.
The arrangements of the names
OH the ballots will be left to the
executive committee at its next
meeting and to the county execu-
tive committees, which it is believed
will be the fairer and more salts
factory way to all concerned, and
it is quite certain that the state
candidates have friends in each
county who will see to it that their
names get on the ballot.
