voted for for the position of United
States Senator, and Mr.. Bush re-
piled that he had right to be
heard and would show the caucus
that it did have the right.
Amidst the utmost difficulty Mr..
Bush managed to say he was not
the representative of any candidate,
and no man. not even the one he
has been voting for, knew he was
going to offer the resolution. He
came not in the interest Of any
candidate, but as a legislator of the
State of Mississippi and came in
the interest of the people of his
State.
Mr.. Perkins broke in with the
demand that the gentleman from
Jeff Davis point to him any law
showing that any Mississippian had
not the right to run for office.
Mr.. Bush stated that he would
hold the floor until the noise sub
sided, but every time he began on
his speech he was cried down, and
the uproar became louder and
louder. with the names of different
members of the caucus being called
by the delegates. All this added
to the confusion, and Mr.. Bush
might as well have attempted to
stop the washing of the waves on
the ocean S shore.
He managed to get out that
every time the lights were turned
on; every time the doors of the
hall were opened. that it cost
money. Money that was furnished
by the people living on the tops Of
every hill in Mississippi. He un-
doubtedly had speech in his sys-
tenn but getting it out was about
the hardest task he ever attempted.
Above the din he was heard to
plead to the caucus to allow him
just five minutes. The point was
raised by several that he was out
of order. having exceeded his time.
It then became an utter impossible
ity to hear anything he attempted
to say. the crowd around him was
SO great that it absolutely precluded
the penetration of sound waves,
except those made by stronger
voices in chorus. than that possess
ed by the South Mississippi Sena-
tor.
Finally Chairman Dean called
Mr.. Bush to time, with the remark
that the Senator's time was up.
Mr.. Bush What is the time
limit?
Chairman Dean You have spok-
en- until no one will listen to you,
and that is the limit.
The motion to table was then
adopted by a vote that was impos-
sible to calculate. and it seemed
that the friends Of every candidate
were voting against Mr.. Bush. His
intentions were no doubt good
but the execution was rather poor.

Another TumuIt Precipltated Thursday
Night.

Jackson, Feb. IT. There is nc
manner of doubt that many of the
caucus members are getting weary
of the monotonous grind and that q
strong sentiment is developing in
the caucus to put an end to the un-
profitable balloting. which has al
ready cost so much valuable time.
After the signal failure and ter
rife lambasting of the Bush reso-
luton last night. proposing to drop
the hindmost man on each success
sive ballot, it was thought by
many that the sentiment was killed
and that no more would be heard
of the suggestion on the floor Of
the caucus, at least.S But in this
the prophets were mistaken. The
Bush effort was repeated again to-
night, and not only repeated, but
doubled. Two resolutions of prac-
tically the same tenor and the same
effect as the Bush resolution, were
sprung tonight Immediately after
the caucus organized and settled
down for business. One of these
was introduced by Senator Vance
and the. other by Senator Owen, the
former Kyle man and the latter
supporter of Vardaman. Both of
these, in different terms. provided
that the candidate receiving the
lowest vote should be dropped on
each successive ballot until a nomi-
nation was made.
The same demonstration of oppo-
sition was manifested when the res
olutions were offered. as on last
night. Motors of different kinds
were made to amend the resoIu-
tions, among them one to substi-
tute the highest candidate instead
of the lowest, etc. It was argued
that it was unmanIy and unfair to
take advantage of the low men
simply because the caucus had the
power to do so, and that there was
no more justice in dropping the low
man than in dropping the high
man,

justly impatient of this prolonged
deadlock;
Therefore be it Resolved by this
caucus, That after each ballot, the
candidate who has been formally
nominated before this caucus. re-
ceiving the lowest number of votes
be eliminated from the race for
United States Senator:
Be it further resolved, That no
ballot be hereafter counted that
may be cast for candidate who
has been eliminated under this
resolution, or whose name may be
placed before this caucus after the
10th day Of February, 1910.
An amendment, which was never
read, owing to the turmoil, was
offered by Mr.. Heslip to the effect
that the words lowest number of
votes be stricken out and insert
"the one receiving the highest
vote" Z"
