.B|LbO IS GIVEN
 A b|G OVATION Five Thousand People Honor Mississippi
 GOvernOr-elect

Jackson, Miss, August 9.-Gov. Elect Theodore G. Bilbo was given a great ova- ton here last night, 5000 people joining in the brilliantly illuminated procession from Pondexter to Smith Park, where they as-
 sembled around the speakers stand. The first speaker was Senator John L. Hebron, who took occasion to announce that he would be a candidate against John Sharp Williams for the Senate next year.
 Addresses were made by w. L. Craw- ford of Seminary. A. s. Coody of yazoo county, Oscar Stewart of Jackson. w. A. Belk of Holly Springs, pr. c. D. Mitchell of Pcntotoc. Pat Henry of vicksburg and Lieutenant Governor-Eect Russell
 Ihese speeches were all short, but the audience was impatient to "see the big show,' and cries of ''Bilbo' were heard Tn every direction. He was greeted with prolonged applause and madela talk that no doubt made him new friends, because or the pacific spirit He stated, in sub- stance, that the gathering was for the purpose of rejoicing over a signal vic tory. but not to gloat over the yanouished 'e'i' hc htd peen SnOt at rom every possible angle during the campaign just ended, not because of personal dislike or hatred of himself, out because of his convictions on matters of state policy. MT. Bilbo stated that it had been the dream of his life to serve the people of Mississippi as their governor and as gov ernor to give them the cleanest and best administration the old state had ever known He had made long and vigorous campaign, but not on the demerits of his iour opponents. He hoped the law-making oody just chosen would not prove to be tainted by the money power, so that it
 might be constructive and progressive A great deal had been said by his opponents about peace and harmony and the elim- nation of factionalism. and he wanted to see if they really meant it. For one he was ready to meet them half way. to take them by the hand and to show them that he was the governor of all the people of the state. of white and black, rich and poor the wise and the ignorant. For his enemies he had no words of abuse or yil- llfcation and thought they should be ready to show him some consideration and to meet him on halfway ground. He knew there were some so narrow and so blinded by prejudice they would never be able to do that, and he was just sorry for them. On the platform with the speakers sat the wives of the two men who head the state ticket-Mrs. Bilbo and Mrs Russell-- and before and after the sepaking hun. dreds crowded around to shake hands and congratulate them.
