THE CANVASS FOR ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

The following paragraph appear
ed in the Clarion-Ledger of Tues
day. April 5, 1910, and in the same
issue of that paper that announced
the appointment of Mr.. Hudson as
Attorney-G General by Governor
Noel:
Gov. Noel has not fully de-
tern1ined, as yet, who will be
named as the successor to Attor-
ney-General Sterling, though it is
generally understood that General
Sterling will tender his resignation
this week. The Governor would
rather that Gen. Sterling hold on
a few more days, there being sew
eraI matters demanding his atten-
tion, and with which he is
familiar.
One of the chief reasons Gov
ernor Noel has not determined on
the successor to the present in
cumbent is that the legislature has
never settled the salary question.
The bill is pending to increase the
salary and to allow the Attorney
General commission of 10 or Is
per cent on any collections he may
make in the future as we'll as pay
ing his actual expenses.
The Governor is said to be of the
opinion that poor lawyer cannot
afford to come to jackson and live
on the present salary of $500 per
year and make the canvass for the
office next year, as he will have to
do. In the event the salary and
the emoluments of the office are
not increased, the Governor has
determined to name one of two
attorneys, both of whom are we'll
Fixed so far as the worlds goods
60, and could afford to live in
jackson and canvass the State, re-
gardless of the, salary attached to
the office. 1t is possible he will
give the place to one on other of
these gentlemen. regardless of the
salary, but may not in the event it
is left at the present figure. =
Il would thus appear. presuma-
bly,, that the present appointee was
one of the two gentlemen, both
of whom are well fixed so far as this
worlds goods 60, and could afford
to live in jackson and canvass the
State regardless Of the salary at
tached to the Office
The inference is, that the Gov
ernor in making this appointment
contemplated the canvass Of the
State for the full term of his ap-
pointee who, according toA the
Clari0n-Ledgers was well fixed so
far as this worlds goods co. and
who could afford to canvass the
State regardless of the salary at
Itached to the Office
The present race for Attorney
General is between Ross Collins and
the present incumbent, the ap-
pointee OF the Governor.
Mr. Collins has taken from the
start, stand in his public speech
es against the anti Vardaman sena-
toriaI combination, which includes
Governor Noel.
Judging from the attacks made
upon Mr. Collins BY ANTI Vardaman
papers. Mr.. Collins does not appear
to be persona grata with the anti.
Vardaman faction in Mississippi
politics.
