station at Manila The message received was
that the American cruiser Philadelphia had
rived there. The Marconi people account for
the occurrence by the theory that the cone at
Manila must have been in perfect tune with that
at Port Morien.
message from Manila was picked up while
being sent to some other station on the Pacific
or to vessel The message was recorded
at the time by an operator in the receiving room
at the Marcon station.
At the time the experts were experimenting
with messages from Ireland. They had received
several messages from the Irish station, and
were in the act of making further tests when
the instruments recorded the arrival of the
Philadelphia at Manila.
The Marconi people say that no mistake was
made, and that the message was undoubtedly
sent by the Manila station, which is about
eleven thousand miles distant and that as
result experiments with the stations in the
East will soon be attempted.

located, is the most easterly town in Cape Bre-

SECOND PRIMARY.

turns from and the count up to that
point showed Williams to be In the

as ground for the belief that contest
over the election Is inevitable. Ballot

Of both sides. The fact that a second
primary must be held to select a can
didate for governor has cleared the
way for the advocacy of another vote

THE MISSISSIPPI PRIMARY.

In the MISSISSIPPI primary mas Deer
demonstrated the advantages of max
ing nominations by popular vote, as
against the old convention system, which
being packed by ringsters and trick
sters, gave the control to the manipulate
ors against the people.
The primary election for the nomina-
ton of candidates has never been and
never will be favored by the unscrupu-
lous politicians and their followers for
the reason that it is not so easy to con-
troll the people as it is the delegates in
a convention.
The Mississippi primary, held Thurs
day, August I, is the most remarkable
and extraordinary ever held. The peo-
pie of the State had been wrought up
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by
the canvass of the candidates for Gov
ernor and minor State Offices, and par
ticularly for the nomination of candi-
date for the United States Senate, for
which Congressman Williams and Gov
ernor Vardaman contested. Had there
been no opposition, there would have
been no canvass and little interest would
have been manifested; nor could an
election for delegates to nominating
convention have called out so great a
vote. In this primary each citizen was
untrammeled in his action and his choice,
which could not be exercised in a nomi-
mating convention, where, as rule, the
programme is prearranged and carried
into execution with the celebrity of an
operating machine.
The opponents of the primary system
are already striving to discredit the
nomination by primary election, for the
reason that the vote as cast for Con-
gressniaH Williams and Governor Var
daman is close and these critics main
tain that in Convention Williams would
have defeated Vardaman. This is an
unfair and partisan decision which gives
force against nominations by conven-
tons. Instead of discrediting the NOM
nation of candidates by primary, the
contest in Mississippi has demonstrated
practically to all honest and fair minded
men that such nominations are not only
thoroughly Democratic, but as the best
safeguard against the machine politicians
without scruples of conscience, whose
only rule for guidance is "get there
get there fairly if you can, but get there.
