DEMOCRATS WILL
LOSE CONTROL
MACHINERY
ALL PARTIES WANT REPRESEN-
TATIoN ON BOARDS OF ELEc-
TIoN COMMISSIONERS.


'1PNS'Nf w FS ANNStos
Jackson, Aug. 2S.-The state
board of election commissioners is in
session this afternoon for the purpose
of selecting the new county boards
of election commissioners who will
revise the registration and poll books
for the regular presidential election
in November.
Mississippi will have four electoral
tickets in the field, the county boards
are composed of only three members
each, and how to split up the COM
missionerships and give to the Demo
Gratis, Republicans, Progressives and
Socialists equal representation is a
problem that is worrying the state
board considerably. Heretofore it
has been the rule to name two Demo
Gratis and one Republican for each
county.
If the state board strictly follows
the letter of the statute, it means
that the election machinery in this
state will pass from under he con
troll of the Democratic party, where
it has been finally lodged every since
the overthrow of carpetbagger rule.
Governor Brewer and his colleagues
frankly admit that they would like
very much to sidestep the letter of
the law in this instance, but it is
difficult to see just how they are
going to do it.
The Progressive party has not
filed with the state board the names
of persons whom the organization de-
sires to have named as election com
missioners, except in a few instances
and it is not believed that the Bull
Moose leaders would make much OF
a fuss if they were overlooked, but
the Republicans want one commits
sioner in each county, and the Social
lists insist on the same, notwithstand
ing the fact that their party ticket
has never polled more than 1900
votes in this state.

New Orleans, Aug. 2S.-Early indi-
cations as to the outcome of the
special election being held here today
to determine whether New Orleans
could have the commission form of
government were that the proposition
would receive an overwhelming ma
jority. Both of the two factions In
municipal politics are apparently al
most solidly supporting it. The
measure voted on provides for a
mayor and four commissioners, who
will constitute a common council and
embodies the right of the initiative

The esteem in which the deceased
