variableness or shadow of turning in
it. The labor people got all they asked
for and went away to work for the
ticket. l believe that the labor vote
is sincere and will be for Bryan and
Kern
What do you think of John w
Kern for vice PRESIDENT"
Il think it was a wise move and
that it will insure Indiana for the
Democratic ticket. Kern is a smart
man, and very Democratic in his
manner. He looks very much like a
prosperous farmer and his nomination
means votes. The labor vote is en-
tirely satisfied with him. John Mitcn,
ell could have had the nomination by
saying the word, but he declined. He
and Gompers will both work for the
success of Bryan and Kern"
Was the convention enthusiastic?'
well, you should have been there"
said Senator Hall.
Everything was ready when Sena-
tor Gore rose to make speech. The
Oklahoma senator had spoken only a
short time when he mentioned Bryans
name. 1t was like setting fire to a
powder magazine. | never had seen
or read of such a demonstration; the
delegates were awaiting the mention
of Bryan's name; the blind senator
and orator from the new state of Ok
lahoma was the proper one to mention
it; the audience was electrified; there
never was such a demonstration on the
face of the earth"
did you visit Bryan at his FARM"
Yes, we spent an hour there. 1t is
a typical Western farmers home, and
Mr.. Bryan knew how to entertain us.
Before we left he made us a short
speech"
What do you think of Democratic
prospects, senator?"
Very fine, indeed. A man could not
have mingled with that enthusiastic
crowd without coming away fully con-
WINGED of Democratic success. We
are sure to get the labor cote and be-
sides this many people VIII vote for
Bryan and Kern thi- year who have
always heretofore voted the Repubi-
can ticket. | found, to my surprise,
that Taft was very unpopular in the
west. The people refuse to forget his
position, as judge, on the injunction
matter and many Republicans in the
west will vote against him, while the
Democratic party is more closely unit
ed than it has been for years"
The senator concluded by expressing
the firm belief that this was the year
for Democratic success and that Bryan
and Kern would be elected.

PARTY Executiue Committee
Has Power to Do Anything
Not Contrary to Primary LaW

in the regular election for which the
nominations are being made. The
State law fixes certain qualifications
which voter must have before he can
participate in a primary election, but
does not prohibit the committee of the
party from imposing additional quaI
ifications. For instance, there is no
express authority given by the statutes
of the state empowering the Democra-
tic executive committee to provide that
only white qualified electors shall vote
in the Democratic primary election,
yet every state, county and municipal
executive committee that has called a
Democratic primary in this state for
several years past has provided this
color qualification for those who par
ticipate in the Democratic primary.
In addition therefore to the qualifica-
ton enumerated in the constitution
and the election laws of the State and
especially in addition to the qualifica-
lions enumerated in Section III of the
Mississippi Code of 1906, the executive
committee may impose other qualifica-
lions for those who are to participate
in the party primary.
deem it unnecessary to go into de-
tails or cite you to the various Sec
lions of the Code and constitution re-
lating to the qualifications of electors.

CANDIDATES ARE BUSY
ON THE final ROUNDUP

candidates for the most important mu-
nicipal offices will have to run the race
over.
There has been much discussion of
matters political since the city exec
utive committee decided to allow all
persons to vote who had registered
whether they had paid their poll tax or
not land while there seems to be con-
siderable difference of opinion on the
matter, the majority of people appear
to think that tie man who has failed
to pay his poll tax should not be al
lowed to participate.
Tomorrow will be a busy day with
the candidates and the primary We'd
nesday will at least thin the candidates
out.

Mr. w. M. Conner,
City.
Dear SIR @
1t will be necessary for me to be out
of the city this afternoon and in ac-
cordance with your earnest request
and as matter of personal accommo-
dation to you here give you my views
with reference to the authority of the
City Democratic Executive Committee
to require additional qualifications of
those who are to be permitted to par
tocipate in the Democratic primary
election ordered by the committee. OF
course do not like to be drawn into
a controversies l have friends on
both sides-and in which there is
bound to be considerable feeling You
will understand that I am not the ad-
vocate of the committee or of any
candidate or faction and simply ex-
press my views as a lawyer and as
your friend.
A primary election is party affair
and except where restrictions are i'm
posed by state laws the authority of
the party officials is supreme and they
may hold the primary in such manner
as they see fit and admit those to par
ticipate whom they see fit. 1t is not
incumbent upon the committee to per-
nit every one to participate in the
primary who is qualified to participate
