THE MISSISSIPPI PRIMARY.

In the Mississippi primary has beef
demonstrated the advantages of max
ing nominations by popular vote, al
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 anC
never will be favored by the unscrupu
lous politicians and their followers fol
the reason that it is not so easy to con.
troll the people as it is the delegates il
a convention.
The Mississippi primary, held Thurs
day, August 1, is the most remarkable
and extraordinary ever held. The peo
pie of the State had been wrought ur
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.
erf,or 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 a 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 nomi-
mating convention, where, as rule, the
programme is prearrangcd 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
gresham Williams and Governor Var
daman is close and these critics main
tain that in convention Williams would
have defeated vardaman This is ar
unfair and partisan decision which gives
force against nominations by conven-
lions. 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.
