infatuated With Roosevelt on Account
OF His River Control.
Promises.

Jackson, July 27-The desertion of
the Democratic party by DR.. ]. G.
French, of Natchez, has caused the
liveliest sort of comment in political
circles.
DR.. French has joined the lily white
branch of the Bull Moose party, and
will probably represent the county of
Adams at the Progressive party con-
vention to be held here on August list.
For the past fifteen years DR..
French has been one of the foremost
citizens and civil leaders in Adams
county, prominent in society, and
widely known among the fraternities.
He is Mason of high degree, former
President of the Mississippi Associa-
ton of Elks, is city health officer of
Natchez, and enjoys eminent rank in
the medical profession.
DIR. French admits that his infactua-
ton for Roosevelt is inspired chiefly
by the fact that the Oyster Bay candi-
date promises to give Federal control
Of the Mississippi river and its levees,
and the use of the Panama canal
machinery in protecting the river
country against floods,
