|B|LBO WILL ENTER
SENATORIAL RACE
Governor Informs Friends He
Will Go After Williams
Seat Three Years Hence

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. G. Spl)--Gov
Theodore G. Bilbo has stated to friends
within the past few days that he In
tends to be a candidate for the United
States senate in 1922, and that he hopes
and believes his principal opponent will
be ex-senator, James X, Vardaman
who has. been his political supporter
since 1910
The term of Senator John Sharp VIII
liams expires in 1923, and, unless that
brilliant statesman can be induced to
change his mind, which at present does
not seem probable he will not be "
candidate for e-electon.
The news of Blbo's candidacy comes
as a decided surprise to many Of Narda-
mans followers, but this feeling Is not
shared by intimate friends of Bilbo,
who have believed, ever since his de-
feat for congress in 1918, that he would
try to come back at the first oppor-
tunity and aspire to nothing less than
seat in the United States senate.
Thus far no action has been taken
by the conservative element towards
picking n candidate TO succeed Senator
Williams. Many Of the leaders regard
the race AS too far in the distance to
worry about.
However, the relative merits and
chances Of some of the conservative
leaders are being informally discussed,
One name frequently mentioned Is that
OF Congressman WepD Tenabe, of the
Fifth district, whose friends are conf
dent that he IL able to yanquish both
Vardaman or Bilbo, either singly or
coupled in the running, The name Of
Congressman j. w Collier, of this dis
trict is also frequently mentioned. Still
another is Oscar Johnston, of Clarks-
dale, who was defeated for governor by
less than 5000 votes in the state pri-
mary last summer
Intimate friends of Senator Williams
say that there is not even remote
hope that he win change his mind on
the question OF voluntary retirement
He is now in his G5th year, and, while
In good health, is frankly tired OF pub
lie life, and the woarisomc round OF
routine duties in Washington, 1t Is
his desire to spend his remaining days
on his plantation in Yazoo county, sur
rounded by his books and friends-and
he has a wonderful collection of each
In fact, some Of the friends OF Senator
Williams declare that he would retire
now If political conditions In the state
were different
Bfbo's declared entry as a senatorial
aspirant is the liveliest bit Of political
news the state capital has had for
long time, and is being discussed here
with much animation. 1t Is stated that
he will commence the task Of building
or rebuilding--his political fences dur
ing the approaching legislative session.
