REVIEW Of DEMOCRACY
BY SENATOR WILLIAMS
Mississippi Statesman Prefers
Jeffersonian Type to Pro-
gressive or Conservative.

Jeffersonian democracy of the purest
and most elemental variety will be the
basis of the legislative policy to cure the
growing evils of the modern social and
business system. according to Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. who
addressed the Mississippi Society at its
monthly meeting in Pythian Temple last
night. The gathering was in the nature
of a reception to the senator. and pro-
gram of music and Rotations had been
arranged in his honor.
Senator Williams prefaced his address
with humorous remarks. Before getting
to the subject of national politics he
took Occa sion to say among other Things
that he did not believe the statements
that lawmakers are corrupt, because IAN
honest people as a whole cannot have
dishonest representatives.
