MISSISSIPPI HOLDS PRIMARY TOMORROW Will Express Choice for the
 Presidency TO ELECT DELEGATES Oscar W. Underwood and Woodrow Wilson the Opponents-Indica-
 tions Point to Very
 Light Vote
TO ELECT DELEGATES

Jackson, Miss, May 5.-Democrats of Mississippi next Tuesday, May T. will 1ex- press their choice for presidential candi- dates, elect delegates to the national con- vention at Baltimore and select a national committeeman at statewide primary election ordered by the state executive committee of the party. Only two of the Candidates for the presidency have ar ranged to have their names printed on the primary ticket--Oscar ". Underwood of Alabama and. Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. Tfie voter may scratch both names and write in that of any other candidate Only white democrats will par ticipate. Four delegates from the state at large and two from each of the eight candidates for delegate at large and four in each of the eight districts except the sixth. in which latter there are five. Dele gates must cast their convention votes for the presidential candidate receiving the majority of the primary election vote
 The four candidates for delegate at large who are unopposed are United States Senator John Sharp Williams, Senator elect James K. Vardaman, Gov. Earl Brewer and C. H. Alexander of Jackson. Judge Robert Powell of Jackson is un- opposed for national committeeman.
 Neither MT. Underwood nor Governor Wilson has canvassed the state, and the only campaign activity has been that of local partisans. Indications are that light vote will be polled.
 The republicans choose their district delegates and delegates at large several weeks ago.

 MARYLAND ID HAVE FIRST NATIONAL PRIMARY TODAY Clark, Harmon, Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft on
 the Ticket

Baltimore. May 5.-Maryland' first presidential primary election tomorrow will decide the votes of the sixteen dele gates this state will send to each of the national conventions. The law permits no divided delegation, so a victory in Maryland will mean IS delegates all in a block, bound to support the candidate for whom they are instructed, at least on the first ballot.
 The names of Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft appear on the republican ballot while. the democrats will vote for Speaker Champ Clark, Governor Judson Harmon or Governor Woodrow Wilson. Active campaigns have been waged on behalf of all these candidates.
 The election tomorrow will choose 129 delegates to the state convention and each county or district will bind it's dele gates to vote for a national delegation favorable to the presidential candidate for whom such county or district de- clares it's preference. Victory. therefore, will depend upon the preferential vote by counties or distNcts and not upon the popular preference of the state as d whole.
 An uncertain factor in the contest is the negro vote. which is about 8 per cent of the whole. and in some of the eastern and southern counties comprises more than half the republican suffrage.
 If the republican election is close tho result may depend upon returns from these counties which owing to the dif- ficulties of communication on the eastern shore'' usually are the last to arrive. In addition to the presidential preference both parties will nominate candidates for members of Congress.
 The polls will open at a. m. and close at D. nn.. in Baltimore city. and open at a. m. and close at 6 p. m. in the counties.
 Under the law the entire democratic vote will be counted first.

Situation At Baton Rouge Is
 Desperate; Grave At MelOille
THE SITUATION

From Vicksburg, Miss. south to New Orleans. the Mississippi river Is from half foot to two and a half feet above any pre- vious flood record stage.
 An additional rise this week of approximately one foot from New Orleans north to Baton Rouge is predicted by the weather bureau.
 Soundings made by United States army engineers show that this record breaking volume of water in the big river IS mov ing at the rate of S.1 feet per second. or approximately one mile per hour faster than ever before recorded in the Missis- sippi's flood history.
 Danger points in the levees in Louisiana: Baton Rouge, Bonnet Carre, 25 miles north of New Orleans; Morrison, Plaquemine. Scott's Landing; Cypress nall. New Roads, and Third district, New Orleans.
 River Sunday: Almost station ary from Torras south.
 Weather: Sunshine Sunday morning, around midday cloudy. heavy rains from Torras south from to p. m.
 Forecast: Showers in I,ouisi ana and Mississippi Monday and Tuesday.

 A heavy rain extending over the outhern portion of the state began hortly after o'clock tonight and the utlook was regarded as anything but ncouraging by the engineers who are baking an heroic fight against the onstantly rising stages that have al- eady eclipsed former flood records by S much as two feet at places.

Extreme Precautions Taken

Extreme precautions have been taken to meet any emergency and at points all along the river barges and flat cars arc loaded with timber, sand sacks. wheelbarrows. shovels and other ma terial necessary in stopping wash holes. arresting muskrat depredations aud closing small breaks and threaten- ed crevasses of every description. At Now Orleans the railroads whose lines pierce the protection leyees above the city were ordered to place pile drivers and all necessary material right at the gaps and keep ready at all hours suf- ficient 1aborers to close the levees in event of break in the Mississippi le- vees at any point north of New orleans These protection levees extend from the Mississippi river back toward Lake Pontchartrain and would prevent any serious damage to New Orleans in event of a crevasse further up the stream
 Tn the third district of New Orleans the situation is still grave and a thou sand laborers worked ali day long today filling in dirt between the levees and the reyetments. The water Is over fhe dock at Esplanade street and the rear oe the Southern Pacific transfer station there is IS inches deep in water Sacks of sands are piled on top of the levee if that point and dirt has been banked along the rear of the big steel wharves from Canal street down to EsplAnade At Flood street there is considera ble seepage and crayfish holes have given Ithe engineers considerable trouble. Work continued tonight and armed guards patroled the levees at all weak points in the city.

Labor Is Scarce
 Reports today were more reassuring than on yesterday and the federal and state engineers declared they had firm faith in their ability to hold every re- Hlaining leyee on the Mississippi But the danger Is not past by any means.
 Lack of labor, due largely to the unconcern of negroes who have been drawing government rations, has been the most serious drawback. Stringent tactics have been forced upon the of- ficials and planters, however. and to- day Governor Sanders ordered the Louisiana militia to round up 500 ne- groes and make them do work on the levees, at the point of rifles if neces- sary. At Baton Rouge reports came in that planters in several instances were compelled to corral negro laborers at the point of shotguns.
 Thousands of paid laborers and con victs are working, in some instances day and night, on the weak stretches of the Mississippi levees from the Red river Junction to the mouth of the river. and hundreds of others are laboring equally hard to hold the levees along the Bayou Des Glaizes. in the east cen urll part of Louisiana. and along the Atchafalaya river from Melville
 At New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana's state capital, gangs of lab orers are working al night under the glare of electric lights strung along the lsvees and aided by searchlights of steamers. At Baton Rouge the situa- tion is critical and equally so along the Atchafalaya and Bayou Des Glaizes. If break occurs, however, in the front Mississippi levee at Baton Rouge the engineers hope to confine the damage to small section of the city There is alarm among some of the residents of New Orleans. though the daily re- assuring statements of the city off cials and levee board engineers have been accepted at face value by others who feel not the slightest apprehen-
