A situation that probably has no equal
in the annals cf American history is that
both Percy and Williams are senator's
elect, and each had defeated the same
candidate, former Governor Vardaman.
The situation becomes more peculiar
when i is seen that Mr. Percy will be
an actual senator before MIR. Williams,
but Mr. Williams will become the senior
senator from Mississippi when he takes
his seat next March, because he was
elected before Mr. Percy. MIR. Will
Hams was elected United States sena
tor in 1905 to succeed Senator Money,
whose term will expire March 4, 1911.
An odd combination of the United States
constitution, the constitution Of Missis-
sippi and the federal laws made it nee
essary for the legislature Of Mississippi
to elect senator three years before he
took Office.
