TO ELECT SENATOR
Percy and Vardaman to go Be-
fore the People.

Jackson, Miss.-A resolution as to
the primary adopted by the legis-
lature, instructs the state democratic
executive committee to call electiQl
to select party senatorial nominee
for the regular term, which will be-
begin in 1913, to be held during the
month of November of this year in
stead of in 1911, as regular pro-
cedure would provide. In this pri-
mary Mr.. Percy and Mr.. Vardaman
will both be candidates. Should the
result be unfavorable to Percy, he
agreed, in his address to tender his
resignation as United States sena-
tor for the present term to the next
session of the state legislature, an
appointment to be made by the gov
ernor to hold until the nominee Sc
lected at the proposed primary is
seated in 1913.
Both Senator Percy and Mr.. Var
daman have addressed letters to
Chairman Lomax of the democratic
state executive committee, agreeing
to the plan. 1t is probable, also,
that others of those who were con-
testants before the legislative eau
Gus for the nomination will enter the
primary.
