POLITICAL TANGLE IN
 MISSISSIPPI TOWNS
Several Elections Held Where No Nominations Were Made By Pri-
 mary Accrding to Law

Jackson, Miss. December 13-(Special.) It has been discovered that in several of the smaller towns of the state, where elections were held last Tuesday, Decem- Der 10, according to law, no nominations were made by primary prior to the regu- lar election. wherefore there was no legal election, and it may be the old, or present officers of such municipalities will have to hold over
 These nominating primaries are not re- quired in villages, but they are required in cities and towns. A town is a munich pality of 300 inhabitants or more, and a striking example of the muddle into which some of them have gotten themselves by not holding primary to nominate mu- niciapl candidates, is found in the case of Leland, Washington county. The omis- sion has been discovered, but no remedy has yet been found, the law making no provision for such contingencies. It may be that a special election can be held on orders of the present municipal officers.

FLONZALEY QUARTET
 TO APPEAR IN CITY

The coming of the Flonzaley quartet, which will play in Birmingham in Jan uary, is an event anticipated with decided interest in musical circles. It is remem- bered that Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr, dur ng the seasons when her Sunday matinee recitals at the Jefferson theatre were such popular attractions, made several efforts to secure the quartet in her series, always without success, as their prices were prohibitive and they were never in this section. It is because they will be near Birmingham, en route to New Orleans, that 1t is within the power of certain promoters of musical affairs to bring them to this city, and the appre- citation of the public is certainly due for their efforts in this direction.
