the fall OF Vicksburg. which Is full Of
the modesty OF the man.

Although the little boat was almost

with but little damage to her machin-

she was forced to limp into Guam

Senator Bacon has been named in a
primary to succeed himself But the
Legislature which must elect him Off
cially, will not come into existence un-
til four months after his present term
has ended and unless he were named
as his own successor by appointment,
his committee assignments would lapse,
and he would take his eventual place
in the senatorial ranks, more or less on
the same footing as other new mem
bers
Moreover, as the senate unquestion-
ably will be called in extra session on
March 5 to confirm the new presidents
cabinet appointments, and so forth Ba-
con will be able to take no part what

the senatorial succession may cut con-
siderable figure in the political life Of
some person.
For instance. suppose Senator Hoke
Smith is named to succeed himself in
the primary Of 1914. When the matter
of filling the four-months vacancy
comes up 1t will be for Governor Slaton
TO say whether he will appoint Mr..
Smith or some one else to the four
months term.
If Mr Smith is named in a primary
as his own successor to a full term, the
presumption win be-say you?-that
Governor Slaton will name him senator
for the short term.
Maybe so--but there is this: When
Senator Smith was elected senator by
the legislature. he declined to permit
Mr.. Slaton to commission him. He
commissioned himself, as about the last
official act of his term in the govern
orship. Mr. Slaton succeeded to the
governorship a few minutes afterward.
Mr.. Smiths friendship for Mr.. Slaton
was, at the moment at rather low ebb.
1t might occur to Governor Slaton
that Senator Smith would find it equal
y as distasteful to accept a Slaton-
signed commission two years hence. as
he made 1t plain that he so found It
year or so ago!
There may be much far fetched spec

record OF efficiency behind him.
Still, nobody ever suspected Wilson
of being a parson!

ate associates in the capitol didn't know
