Marshal General CrOwder viii have
something very serious 10 say.
Under a decision given by A. d. Ma
see, member and legal adviser OF the
district exemption board. nOtaries pub
lie are considered as State officers and
are therefore not liable TO military duty
under the present draft.
But the provost marshal general de-
clares that he does not construe the law
in that way and that the thousands OF
nOtaries public in the various states are
subject TO the draft and that their SER
vice 10 the states as such is unimpor-
tant The fact Of their appointment
and commission by the Governor OF a
State has no significance. Jusi how the
draft law has been interpreted in other
states is not known here. PennsylNania,
it Is stated, has over GOO notarics, IN
addition 20 others who are commits
stoned by the Governor TO take afiidaviis
and acknowledgements, and New Jersey
has 1000 notaries.
The individual cases OF the oXemp-
tions in Delaware because o. the drafi-
ed men being notaries public commits
stoned by Governor Townsend are very
interesting. First William Dewitt, a
deputy in the office OF the Register In
Chancery. was appointed by Governed
Townsend more than year ago as
notary public at the request Of patrons
OF the Office in which he was employed
to facilitate business. The principal
duties Of a notary public are TO ac-
knowledge documents, wills, aliidaNlts,
leases. etc. for which he collects Zee.
Governor Townsend. in discussing the
case. said that he made the appoint
ments after being assured that the law
would not be interfered with and tnat
he avoids making appointments Of men
within the draft age II possible. IN
short time the governor will be called
upon TO appoint the registration officers
for the State to prepare for the next
election. From each OF these he VIII
exact a promise that they are not TO
be considered as taking the appoint
ments in order TO avoid the draft 50
far as possible he Will not select men
Of draft age to serve.
WASHINGTON. June Maior-Gen-
eral Enoch II. Crowder. the provost
has ruled that a
notary public appointed by the Cover
nor OF a state is not o state official in
the meaning Of the seleciive nraft act
aud. therefore, is not entitled to exemp-
tlon from military service on That
ground.
The question has come TO General
Crswder from several States, and while
It was held that technical notaries ap-
polnted by Governors may be state on
cials. no such Interpretation Is made
under the draft act. It Is held that
notary public does not give sufficient
time to that particular work to be
classed as a state officer, that Il Is not
his principal occupation and is a rela-
lively unimportant State service.
No specific regulation has been IS
sued by the provost marshal 70 guide
ocsl and district draft boards, but
when the question has been raised such
boards have been instructed to deny eX-
,mptlon on such grounds.

In presenting the. condidacy if

is worth a degree of keen personal

We are thoroughly cognizant of the

Gov. Bilbo's Past Political Record.
Governor Bilbo after finishing MS
literary and legal education at lne
University of Nashville, Vanderbilt
University and the University OF
| Michigan, appeared upon the political
horizon of his state some twelve years
ago as a canadate for State senator
from his home district, and was eject
ed over able opposition IN the 1lrsI II 81
| primary by a large majority. Altet
serving his people faithfully IN Inns
capacity, he had higher ampl1ioil
| for more effective service, ana at tne
| conclusion of his term as State oenaC-
! or entered the race for Lleutendant
| Governor with but little financial ald'
| and was again elected over two aple
| onnonents in the first primary py the
| LARGEST majority ever given previous
canadate for the same office. AS Lieu
| tendant Governor and Presiding VI
| floor for the Senate, he soon dls-
| tinguished himself as an able states
man and perliamentarlan; quick %
deliberatiYe ability and possessing q
| keen insight for that when was 1al,
| and lust. he soon won the love ano
| admiration of his friends, the respecI
| and confidence of many who had pre-
yiously opposed him, and at the close
| of tha last session of the Senate, was
accorded a complimentary vote by
| that bodv as one of the ablest and
most impartial presiding officers that
| ever occupied the char. Altef elsiA'
! wears service in active LeglSiatlVe
work. Governor Bilbo received a large
/ and insistent solicitation to make the
| race for governor. Upon MS aceep1-
| anee he entered the campaign again
st four able and distinguished cand-
/ idates. or rather they entered the race
| AGAINST him, and when the campaign
| closed for the first primary ana the
| voters given an opportunity to reg
ister their preference, the former
State Senator and Lieutendant Gov
| ernor Bilbo was elected Governor by
a safe plurality over all Candidates on
| the first ballot. Thus the campaign
/ ended, Governor Bilbo's political sue
cess has been so amazing that it runs

strument Law; "Blue Sky" Law be-
sides numerous other laws and ap-
point mentS of special and regular be-
nefits to this section of our state that
had heretofore been denied them. It
might be we'll to state also that Cover
nor Bilbo has been the first Executive
ecutive from our list of governors to
officially recognize the interests of
Organized Labor and toiling people.
For no one can question his interest
in and sympathy for the farmers of
the State ad toilers and tell the truth.
Gov. Bilbo as A War Governor.
Immediately upon Americas de-
claration of war, acting under his
oath of office and sworn as chief eX-
ecutive of his State, Governor, Bill
bo realized the necessity of prompt
action and at once placed himself in
touch with the National War Depart
ment, and within few days had his
State organization perfected and
working under instructions from the
National Government. And let it be
said here to his lasting credit, that
he has rendered and is still render
ing great, faithful and patriotic SER
vice by assisting in material way
| the promotion for the magnitudinous
program inaugurated by our Govern
| ment in its preparation of war for
liberty and lasting peace.
| Realizing the complex conditions
! of war-times, upon the convening of
| the last session Of the Legislature,
Governor Bilbo and majority of its
| members We'd in the idea that it was
an inopportune time for permanent
| improvements, further than actual
necessity decamded, and the program
of permanent improvement was sus-
pended for the duration Of the war.
| Ignoring the brief hostilities of this
country during the Spanish-American
| War of 1898 Governor Bilbo is thus
considered the first real war govern
or since the administration of Charles
| Clark, of Bolivar County, and his adj
| ministration, with the exception of
| the first year, has been made to feel
a marked financial retrenchment in

Mississippis Centennial Governor.
| During the first Legislative session
of his administration, realizing the
advantages to be gained in exploit
ing the dormant resources of the rich
and congenial gulf coast section of his
state, Governor Bilbo joined in a
movement with his people of the sec
ton IN securing State aid for Cent
| ennial Exposition at Gulfport in eele-
bration of Mississippi's one hundred
tn birthday. After receiving liberal
Appropriation from the state and sub
stantial donations from the people a.
long the gulf coast, an elaborate pro-
gram was outlined ereditaile build

large, spacious grounds beautified
for this great celebration, which had
been heralded far and near as one of
the greatest coming events in the his
| tory of our Statehood. Following in
in close succession came the declarat-
ion of war. At this juncture feeling
that it was no time for public eele-
bration of this nature and in keeping
