MISSISSIPPI SENATE EXPELs

State Senator Who Exposed Bribery
I'm Mississippi is Forced to Resign.

overwhelming vote demanded the
resignation Of Senator Bilbo. Presi-

Der by several other Senators, also
supporters of Vardaman.
By a vote of 28 to Is, only one
vote short OF the required two-thirds
majority, the Senate earlier in the
evening failed TO pass a resolution TO
expel Senator Bilbo. who recently
charged that he accepted from l.. G.
Dulaney, a bribe of S645 in exchange
for his promise to change his vote
from former Governor James K. Var
daman OF Leroy Percy for United
States Senator. The acceptance Of
the money, BilbO explained, was to
obtain evidence of irregularities in
connection with the Senatorial cleo
ton.
The vote on the expulsion resolu-
ton was strictly partisan. The reso-
luton as offered by Senator Lefwich,
declared that Bilbo be expelled be-

Is ROoseyelt's Popularity Growing
Stronger:
Washington Times. ]

Washington Times.l
Roosevelt mellowed, grown con-
servative, and politically more gener-
Gus? Danish the least suspicion!
Having emerged from the jungles, he
stops upon the borders of civilization
and, for the first time in year, he
submits himself to public judgment.
Apparently, the only change in the
man is his physical appearance. His
face is deeply bronzed. He has grown
a trife stouter, stockier, and his
hands testify to the strenuous activity
of life in the African jungle.
Intellectually, he seems to be the
giant he always has been in the eyes
of Americans who have approved of
the Roosevelt policies as the new
politics" of progress. Possessed of a
surplus of self-reliance and courage,
he unhesitatingly rushes into promi-
nence with the same zeal that he
tramped through the underbrush of
the jungle.
His Cairo speech is a remarkable
evidence of his daring, and, while it
sounds like an impulsive outbreak, it
is too resolute in its tone to be re-
garded, upon careful reading, as
merely a hot-tempered, rash utter
ance However it is received in the
| land of the Pharaohs, it is the very
| sort of speech to advance respect for
| the former President in America.
| Unless there happens radical
change, Roosevelt will return to
| America a greater man than he was
when he departed. His popularity,
under a continuance of existing cir
cumstances, will increase, in all prob
ability, and if he decides to make a
fight for what have been jocularly
called MY Policies" the changes
are that, in the sight of the people
he will be viewed as the only man
who can insure the success of these
policies.
1t is being said by the enemies OF
Roosevelt, that the greatness of the
man is being magnified. They are re
peating that he is guilty of political
hypocrisy and chicanery. They are in
sisting that the demand is for 6
"sounder, saner, more conservative
course of procedure"
But it is not possible that the in
terests opposing Roosevelt now a.
they opposed him in office are mis-
taken in their judgment Of publi
sentiment? Is it not possible that ;
wide difference Of opinion exists as t.
the definition of a ''sounder, saner
more conservative" course?
Aside from the significance of tn
return of Roosevelt, from the view
point of Republican politics, is it no
remarkable that he still evokes tn
interest he does? Where in America
history has there lived a man out Q
office who has retained the regard G
the people to such an extent as ha
Roosevelt, because Of his indepen6
ence and boldness of thought, and hi
fighting qualities?
At all events, Roosevelt will cor
tinue to be leading figure in nation
al life. AS such alone he will con
, mand extraordinary attention.

He said that uRquegtionahly North

Republican leaders" He said that
so far as he knew, or anybody else
knew, that the State organization
had made no effort to secure such
appointments for the State.
He said that the State should be
properly rewarded in recognition of
what it had already done, but, on
the other hand. if it was properly
recognized, it would help carry the

seemed to him that the State or
