SOCIALISM IN m1ss,sstpr,.

On the face OF the returns last
Tuesday, it looked as II the Socialists
In mississippi lacked but 5000 votes

Governor, James r. Lester. This was
passing strange, FOR in the presidential
election of 1908. Deos, the Socialist
candidate received but MS votes out
of 66,eO4 votes cast. or but ISL per
cent. Brewer, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor. rolled up the usual
majority against his Socialist op-
poncnt this year.
Not so much success OF socialism
as scratch of an unpopular man is
the solution OF the situation. Theodore
G. Bilbb, the Democratic candidat e
for Licutenant-Gover is personally
known to great proportion OF tho
people of Mississippi-the supporters
OF Leroy Percy in his late unsuccess-
fun senatorial campaign against Yard
aman. Bilbo, as State Senator, ad-
mittcd that he accepted a bribe to
vote against Vardaman for United
States Senator two years ago. He
came near being expelled from the
Senate for it-missed it by q single
vote. Some Mississippi people thought
il was dcspicable trick for Bubo to
accept a bribe in order to get evil
dence against political foe, and
those who were of that mind knitted
Bilho. as did the majority of Percy
supporters. The recent result was not
so much boost for socialism MS a

THE AMERICAN MURDER RECORD.
The charge that ours Is u nation of

with homicide.
1t is the swiftness and the sure
