Jackson, Miss.-Never, perhaps, since
the capitol was a capitol has there been
anything comparable TO the excitement
noted ON the Legislative floors Of the
million-dollar building Wednesday after
noon. In every office throughout all the
corridors and everywhere else where men
could meet men and their confidence be
not overheard, the interested public gath
cred, and once on the ground seemed held
there. Not only were the friends OF the
leading characters in the drama, now on
the stage Of the senate, present in large
numbers, and newspaper men from met
ropolitan papers, but there were Others
there. From every walk in life, society
in their dainty spring attire, public men,
preachers, leaders in business and In
thought. from all parts of the state, were
on the floor of the capitol throughout the
afternoon. The senate's locked and dou'
ble-barred and sternly- guarded doors were
watched with eager eyes by those spec
tators, and every man who had entrance
there was studied, commented on and
wondered about, to the regular habitues.
