EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
NETS ON MARCH Ia

Meridian, Miss, Darch "a meet
ing of the state Democratic Executive
Committee has been called by Chair
man ]. NJ McBeath and Secretary Joe
Il. Norwood, for Tuesday, March 18th,
in Jackson. At the meeting the meth
cd OF selecting delegates from Missis-
sippi To the National Democratic Con
vention in St Louis June 14th, and
the date for a state convention, will
be fixed.
The call for the meeting reads as
follows:
THE State Democratic Executive
committee is hereby called to meet at
Jackson. Tuesday, March II, 1916, for
the purpose OF deciding on the meth
cd OF selecting delegates to the Ma
ti0nal Democratic Cony entiOn TO be
held in ST Louis, Mo-, June IA to fix
the date for holding state conven-
tor, and for such othe- purposes as
may properly come before the meeting
~. M. M'Beath,
Chairman.
"Joe e. Norwood,
Secretary"
Chairman McBeath is of the opinion
that there will be no primary in this
state to select the delegates, as this
method is very costly. The delegates
will probably be selected in conven-
ton, as the committee will have the
right to declare President Wilson Mis-
sissippi's choice as the primary law
states that where there is no opposi-
ton, the committee shall declare such
candidate nominee of the party. This
custom has been followed in nomi-
mating state and county officers, where
there was no opposition. This was
true in the last general election. when
several candidates were declared nom
inees OF the party and their names
were not placed on the primary
tickets.
The convention will also draft
platform and dispose of other matters
which may properly come before it.

From the New York World.


The American people cannot longer
tolerate a political system under
which the presidency can be bought.
That attempts are made in every cam
paign TO buy it is notorious. Every
managing politician in both parties
knows the methods that are used.
What those methods are was dra-
matically revealed in the Adams
county investigation in Ohio, when it
was shown that an entire constituency
was bought and sold>in every election.
What the actual effects of those meth.
ods are was shown in f. H. Harri-
mans letter to Sidney Webster in
which the great railroad manipulation
boasted that with the $250,000 that he
raised in Wall street, after his visit
TO President Roosevelt q week before
election in 1904 cat least $4,000 votes
were turned in the city of New York
alone, making difference of 100000
votes III the general result"
The existing system of political cor
ruption in the United States dates
from Mark Hanna and the campaign of
1896. There had been plenty of spo.
radio and local corruption in various
states previous to the Hanna regime
but under Hanna political corruption
was organized and centralized as il
never had been before. 1t was nc
longer confined to the large cities
where it could be dealt with, but il
was extended to the country district,
where voters were bribed under the
pretense of paying them for their time
in going to the polls.
That method still prevails in the
great debatable states. and there is not
the slightest doubt that hundreds Of
| thousands of dollars were spent fol
that purpose on November 7 in New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut. Indiana
Illinois and elsewhere. 1t is more thar
probable that at least two of tn,
Hughes states, Connecticut and Indiana
were carried by the brute power Of
money.
