LEE NJ. RUSSELL, GOVERNOR

LEE N. RUSSELL, GONEhNOk.
Hon Lee NJ. Russell has been elee
ted Governor of Mississippi. In the
face of powerful opposition he has
won a notable victory. Handicapped
by the present Governors support he
has overcome the vast alienation
caused by Bilboism and won the nomi-
glation. He is to be congratulated.
Russell will make a good Governor.
He is a clean and courageous man
yvFI8 convictions as to public policy
and duty from which he can not be
.swyrved. His whole life has been a
battle for those things he believes
right and we may expect him, when
the states chief executive, to rise
above the sordid factiOnalism of his
time and give to the people a good
administration.
T5le next chief executive of Missis
sIppi will have more important prob
Eenls TO solve than have come before
any Governor since reconstruction
times. 1t is going to require profound
leadership, farreaching executive
ability, and the vision Of statesman
ship to carry the State through the
storm. We hope Mr. Russell will
measure fully up to the requirements

BON. IF. PETERSON DEFEATED
Hon. John F. Fricrsor of this city
whose election to the position Of It.
Governor has been confidently report
cd by the Jackson corr spondents
seems to have been defeated according
to the latest reports from Jackson.
The Dispatch phoned the Jackson
News yesterday afternoon, and it was
said that his opponent, Hon. H. H.
Casteel was leading him by fifteen
Flin5red Votes and only four counties
yet to be heard from Mr.. Frierson's
friends claimed only one Of these coIn-
ties and his defeat was feared.
In the early stages of the count OF
the State vote Mr.. Frierson's election
was confidently predicted. He was
running ahead of his opponent by
thousands but the late counties gradu-
ally pulled his majority down to the
point where he was running even
with the Bilbo candidate. Then Cas-
teel passed him and has since con-
tinued to lead.
The result is a great disappointment
TO Mr.. Friersons friends at home
who had been led to believe that
I1owndes county was to have another
Lieut. tenant- Governor.
