TALLY IS GETTING
MANY Bl6O VOTES
FORREST COUNTY's. CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR GAINING IN
STRENGTH RAPIDLY.

Jackson, Miss, July N.-The polltl-
cal campaign in Mississippi is fast
drawing to close, for the first prl-
mary will be held on next Tuesday,
when state, county, district and beat
officers are to be nominated by the
Democrats of the state. The greatest
interest, naturally, centers in the CUB
ernatarial raGes ana- candidates
are making the usual prediction
claims of victory or run-ots in Sec
ond primary, which is to be held on
August %, in the event no candidate
} for governor is nominated on Tuesday
by receiving a majority of the votes
cast.
The five candidates, Marion w.
Reilly, of NatcheZ; Theo. G. Bilbo, Of
Poplarville; H. M. Quin, P. S. Sto-
vail, of Clinton, and John R. Tally, OF
Hattiesburg, are putting on extra
steam so to speak, at the eve of the
election, and covering as much terri
tory as possible during the closing
hours of a campaign that has been
waged since the first of the year with
more or less bitterness on the part of
some of the candidates.
Bilbo and his supporters still cling
to their claims of a majority in the
| first primary, asserting that the Pop
larville candidate will get $4,000
votes. On the other hand Mr. Reily's
campaign manager gives Bilbo but 52,'
| 600 votes, and asserts that RELY will
fget at least $4,000, putting him in the
second primary with a small margin
| Mr. Tally's followers, after a careful
canvas of the state are confident that
Forrest county's candidate will be in
the second primary by safe major
ity. For several days, Tally has been
cutting into the Bilbo vote, wherever
he has appeared The clean way in
which he is conducting his campaign
as contrasted with that of the lieuten
ant governor, is making him votes
by the hundreds.
The supporters of Mr.. Quin still
maintain that he will be in the race
in a second primary. In fact all o.
the candidates are making big claims
and there is no certainty of the re-
suit, as the silent vote is going to Gu
/ {. ,e--y~hig figure in this race.
| Bilbo and 'Ie,Ili1 are to speak herr
next Monday night at separate places
and both will have large election ev'
crowds.
| Friends of P. S. Stovall say that hi
lvote is going to be surprisingly large
and it is known that he expects
, great many Baptist votes, as he ha
long been a prominent member @
! that church.
Business in the state right now i
, almost at a standstill, owing to tn
near approach of the election. and
/ will remain so until the middle c
pext week.
: Owing to the lengthy ballots it
) not believed that any definite result
Iof the primary will be known unit
: early Wednesday morning, certainl
not until after midnight Tuesday.
All of the candidates will ge
! their homes to vote Tuesday, an
There receive election returns.

Dear Sir:-I beg to advise that
have carefully considered Section 2O4
of the Constitution in connection with
ssee.ier. e4s 4 sks~s-<z@ .s:,aa a Ia m,
hesitate to say that my construction
of Section 4S09 is as follows: The
general qualification for all officers
under the Constitution is that they
ishall be qualified electors of the state
and county. The Constitution, by
Section 204, authorized the Legislature
to fix additional qualifications for the
office of superintendent of education
In pursuance of this power, the legis
lature in section 1909, of the Code
Iprovided additional qualifications fo
this office in the following words:
Before any one shall be elected
to the office, he shall have attain
ed the age of II years, and shall
be a qualified elector and resi-
dent citizen of the state for four
years and of the county for two
l. years Immediately proceeding his
the examination provided for in
the section following the next one
and have received the certificate
accordingly.
|, | construe this section to mean tha
the legislature in the first place pro
vided that no one should be electe
superintendent of education who ha
not attained the age of II years. /
other words, the age limit was tixe
at not under q years. The mex
qualification imposed under the word
of said statute is that a candidate TO
this office should be a qualified elec
tor, and thirdly, the additional qua
ification is that a candidate shoul

JITNEY QUESTION TO
BE DISCUSSED TONIGHT
Ordinance Was Tabled But Advocates
Get Measure Sent to
Committee.

All things point to a stormy session
of the committee of the whole of the
common council tonight. After having
practically killed the consideration OF
the jitney bus ordinance at the last
meeting, the matter will be again
taken up tonight TO be threshed over
some more. When the committee
presented a report to the council last
Monday night tabling the ordinance
indefinitely, ii was thought that regu-
latic1 of the motor buses was to be
pos )oned TO a more propitiOus time,
but Councilman Jere T. Hagerty, sup
ported by Councilman II. L. Lang,
both strong adherents of the ordin-
ance got by a motion referring the
matter back again TO the committee.
Along with the jitney bus question
the committee will have under con-
sideratiOn the plumbing ordinance and
the building code ordinance, both
bulky documents which have been in
the making and under sectional dis
cussion for some time.
Three appropriation ordinances will
also be considered. The board OF
works is asking for $4,000 for the
streets and alleys department, and for
$3.50 for the city cemetery, while the
park commissioners are asking for
S1,665.03 to be used in paying the
assessment for the Michigan st. i'm
provements adjacent to Leeper park.
