MISSISSIPPI INDICATED

MISSISSIPPI INDICATED
The people are not always right
because they are not we'll informed.
otherwise they are. December %,
1909, Senator McLaurin died sud-,
denly and it seemed James X. Var
daman would be elected to the
vacant seat in the United States
senate, who at the primaries in
1907 was beaten by John Sharp
Williams by only Gas votes. The
interests, however, were against
him and on February %, 1910,
after deadlock of six weeks, LIE
Roy Percy was elected by the leg
islature by a vote of 81 to 80.
A scandal followed too huge to
be suppressed even by an inactive
grand jury and WITHDRAWING
Legislative committee.
The investigation proved bribery
and corruption equal to anything
disclosed in the Lorimer case.
March Is, 1910, Senator Percy
took the oath Of office and at once
allied himself with the Joe Bailey
group and followed the leadership
of the standard oil bellwether.
Mississippi, however, has the
direct primary. Percy announced
himself a candidate and 90 did
vandaman. The primaries were
held August l, 1911. Vandaman
received 1887 votes, Percy 81, 52l,
Alexander 81 AGO. Out of 70 coun-
ties Vandsman carried 81.
During the contest before the
legislature Representative Bilbo
accepted 81, 600 of the slush fund
for the purpose of uncovering the
methods by which Percy was
elected and was rewarded by a
nomination on the state ticket and
received a majority of 23,5OS over
both opposing candidates.
