Jackson. Miss, Aug. 3.-On the eve
of the Democratic primary, Governor
Brewer. lust back from trips that took
him into more than half of the coun-
ties of the state, last night predicted
defeat for Lieutenant Governor Theo.
G. Bilbo, without intimating what 9th
er candidate he believed would be
successful at the polls. The governor
said that he would not be surprised to
see some one of the other four candi
dates for governor lead Bilbo in the
number of ballots cast today.
Asked for a statement and predic-
ton on tomorrow's primary, Governor
Brewer said:
81 see that Bilbo is. out in a tele-
gram trying to explain his lineup tick
ct that he has had printed over the
state and circulated into every part
of the state that he had nothing to do
with getting his ticket out; that it
was a trick of Governor Brewer. This
ticket was printed in the Poplarville
Free Press, if you please.
'BilbO has had printed and placed
in the hands of his leaders in every
county in Mississippi a lineup ticket,
and to avoid having the friends of all
the people who are left off this ticket
retaliating and to avoid having the
great white honest patriotic citizen
ship of Mississippi resent having lit

the overwhelming majority of the
white voters of Mississippi are against
Bilbo. | believe they will defeat him

His followers are clamoring loudly
that he is going to have a great big
vote, but do not believe there will be
5000 votes difference between him
and one of the other candidates for
governor on the first primary. would
be surprised to see him run second in
the first primary, and to talk of him

HERE IS A MELON
BUILT LIKE A DUCK
RIVER AVENUE MAN GROWS A
FREAK OF NATURE WHICH
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.

A watermelon, shaped exactly like a
duck, which literally was grown on
wire fence, is the freak of nature
raised by Hill BOykin, of 1l01 River
avenue, and which was brought to the
office of The News today by Miss Lou
Use Evans.
During its INFANCY, rae melon came
in contact with one strand of the wire
on the fence, and got tangled up in it.
1t grew and grew, and finally the
"other end" Of the melon Outgrew the
one next to the vine. Within a short
time perfectly formed duck resulted

FEW BETS WAGERED
IN HATTIESBURG ON
THE PRIMARY TODAY.

But little wagering was engaged
in in Hattiesburg on the results of
today's primary, despite the fact
that much money to be placed to-
dav was said to have been in evi-
dence by members of the various
factions until a couple of days ago.
From other parts of the state,
however, have come reports that
the Rely men are betting that
Bilbo will not receive $4,000 votes
in today's primary. 1t is conceded
that he will have to get at least
$4,000 votes to be declared the
nominee without going into Sec
ond primary.
Reports from Laurel telling OF
the Reilly meeting held in that
place last night, said to have been
the biggest political gathering of
any kind ever held in the State,
have increased the optimism of the
Natchez candidate'sr supporters,
and has induced thel to put up
more money elsewher

MANY MAY NOT VOTE
|FOR LACK OF TIME
| ONG TICKET AND THE LACK OF
SPACE IN POLLING PLACES
CAUSES LOST TIME.

The longest ticket that Forrest
voters ever have carried into
a polling booth and checked off, is
tha, which is being worked and per-
spired over today. There are 10
names on the tickets, and it requires
at least three minutes to go over II
and accurately check the names. Hun
dreds of voters, unfamiliar with the
of the names, required
even more time than that. Scores Oh
voters consumed from nine to twelve
minutes in fixing their ballots.
There is a possibility that many will
not be given an oportunity to vote to-
day. because of the limited space in
the two Hattiesburg voting places, and
the amount of time required to mark
the tickets. The election will be
stopped promptly at O'Clock this eve
ing. regardless of how many voters
NAV be clamoring on the outside for
an opportunity to deposit their bal
lots. The law specifies the hour for
closing. and this will be carried out.
q don't say that it is probable" said
DR.. ]. D. Donald, chairman OF the
Democratic Executive Campaign Com
mittee "but it is possible that there
will he some persons unable to vote
on account of lack of time. Inc
ticket is a long one, although 1t IS
inst as simple as it can be. But 1t
requires much time to check OIL the
names. Should 6 O'Clock arrive and
find men outside the voting places try
inq to get it, the ballot boxes will be
closed. Just the same. 1t will be hard
luck on their part, but the law Will
have to be lived up to-"
Such a thing as there not being
enough time in which all the voters
were given an opportunity to cast
their ballots, never has occurred IN
Forrest county, DR.. Donald said.
The voting places opened at y
o'clock this morning There were big
crowds at both the Court House and
the City Hall. awaiting the opening OF
the polls. Throughout the day
the crowds have not diminished
There are nine or ten voting booths In
the two voting places.
The record for quick voting at the
City Hall is held by Judge N. c. Hill
who consumed one minute and SO sec
onds in procuring his ballot, marking
lit, and then depositing it. One voter
required 2 minutes.

Clear Skies and Ideal
Weather Bring Out a
Record Vote in State
SOME ELECTION FIGURES

In the state election four years ago,
Bilbo won over his two opponents iR
the first primary by a majority of 3d.
.054. For lieutenant governor, Bilbo
received 76,240 votes out of a total OF
129, ,426, and his opponents, SO, 1876.
From these figures, it is evident
that if Bilbo loses even less than 49,
600 votes of his former strength he
cannot win in the first primary, as his
supporters claim.
None of the other candidates con.
cede Bilbo more than $4,000 votes.
The Tally, Quin and Reilly bureaus
say that their candidates are going to
run Bilbo a very close race in the
first round.
1t is evident, therefore, that if Bill
bo wins at all, he must win in the first
round; that he cannot possibly hope
to poll a larger vote than he received
four years ago, since it is plainly evi-
dent that many former ardent follow
ers, and others voting for him because
of alignment with Vardaman, have
since deserted him.
The vote for lieutenant governor
four years ago will be handy for refer
ence when the returns are being re-
ceived tonight. 1t is as follows:

(By associated PreSs.)

London, Aug. 3.-The Austro- Ger
man armies are being held by the Rus
slams to the West of Warsaw, but the
Teutons are progressing elsewhere
along the Eastern front, according to
the official statements issued from
Berlin and Vienna today.
The most determined attack evident.
!y is directed against Wyzkow. The
Germans are attacking the railroad
linking Warsaw and Petrograd at Os-
trolenka, with a view of cutting the
Russian line of communications.
Fighting has been resumed on the
British front of the western line, a
resumption of infantry activity having
been reported. The French admit
that the Germans have captured some
trenches in the Argonne and Marie
Therese districts. Paris claims that
the French took several trenches in
the Vosges mountains.

the Results.


registering in the nineties reported
from every section of the State, the
battle of ballots is on throughout For
rest county and Mississippi today.
At noon, reports from over the Mag
nola State were to the effect that
record vote is being polled in practi-
cally every county.
1t is believed that between 10000
and 100000 voters will go to the polls
to select State, district and county OF
ficers.
Campaigning will continue till 3
O'Clock this afternoon, when the vot-
ing precincts will be closed. There
are more than 5000 aspirants in the
field for the various offices.
In Forrest county, there are more
than 125 names on the ticket.
1ht .-.-s-- U~-.~St no,.nty
closed last night with a big mass meet
ing at the Court House, which packed
the big court room. Practically every
candidate for county and beat office
was present, and made brief address,
es. There also were a number of dis
trict office seekers, including Robert
s. Hall, candidate for reelection as
district attorney; ]. S. Love, for re-
election as State Bank Examiner; and
others, who made addresses.
Today, the gubernatorial contest is
the center of interest throughout the
State. The five candidates have been
campaigning for nearly a year, and
there seems to be no doubt but what a
second primary win DE necessary to
settle this contest.
Second Primary Predicted.
The supporters of each candidate
make confident claims, but public opin-
ion is crystalizing around the belief
that the second primary will be be-
tween either Bilbo and Marion Reilly,
or Bilbo and John r. Tally.
Next in interest is the race for lieu
tenant-governor between State Sena-
tor Lee NJ Russell and E. Bunyan
Carter. The outcome of this race
largely depends on the gubernatorial
contest. If Bilbo wins in the first
primary, as his followers cialm he is
going to do by anywhere from $4,000
10 OF 10 a
certain that he will carry Russell to
victory with him. But If a second pri-
mary is shown to be necessary, then
it is equally certain that Carter will
defeat Russell by a good majority in
the second round. Bilbo and Russell
have been indissolubly associated
J throughout the campaign.
In Hattiesburg, and throughout this
section of the state, there is also a
very lively interest in the race for
railroad commissioner between F. NJ.
Shepherd, the present Incumbent, and
J. V. Austin, of this city. Reports from
the 30 counties composing the district
indicate that Mr.. Austin will be the
winner by a majority of at least 5000,
and probably larger. He has made a
most remarkable campaign, and Great
ed a highly favorable impression
throughout the distritc.
The State Ticket.
The state ticket is as follows:
For Governor-Theo. G. Bilbo, OF
Poplarville; Marion w. Reilly, OF
Natchez; H. NJ. Quin, of Jackson;
John r. Tally, of Hattiesburg. P. S
