Elective judiciary Bill Signed.

The last detail necessary TO get the
practical part of the elective judiciary
system written on 10 the statute
books was enacted when Gov. Brewer
notified the senate that he had ap-
proved the Norwood bill. providing for
the election of judges and ~chancellors
this fall. The act carries into effect
the provisions OF the much discussed
amendment to the constitution insert
ed in the 1912 session, and the system
of appointment. except 10 fill yacan-
cies, is RELOCATED to the things and
customs that were. Under the proyis-
ions OF the act, all circuit judges and
c~hancellors now holding office in the
state are deemed to be filling vacan'
cies, whether their terms expire in
1914 or 1916. Their successors will
be nominated this summer and for
mally elected in November. 1t was
quite a coincidence that former Gov,
Noel, who made elective judiciary his
political hobby. as has been stated fol
years, happened to be in the capitol
building when the bill was signed.

The question OF adjournment of the

Bilbo emphatically refutes the idea
that the filibuster tactics which have
been pursued in the legislature are

Gov. Brewer Ignores Challenge.

Gov. Brewer will ignore the chal-
lenge of Lieut.-Gov Bilbo. for a joint
debate in Smith Park, this city, for
March 23. and does not intend TO make
any formal reply to the challenge.
Further than saying that he did not
intend TO accord this sort of recogni-
tion to Bilbo, the governor declined to
discuss the matter, saying that there
was nothing TO discuss. Political ad-
visers of the governor, however, dis
cussed the matter very freely, saying
that in view of the fact that he has
publicly denounced the lieutenant
governor as the most crooked man
who ever held office in Mississippi
he cannot afford TO dignity him by a
meeting in joint debate.
Lieut.-Gov Bilbo's challenge to Gov.
Brewer followed a bitter attack made
in a statement by the governor. Bilbo
specified that the debate be confined
TO an accounting OF their political rec
ords and that personalities be avoided,
