The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-08-03

in the race for attorney general be- twen Frank Robertson and Earl Floyd both of whom have served the state in the capacity of assistant attorney general MT. Robertson has been candidate several months, and has made partial canvass of the state. He supposed until two weeks ago that he would have no opposition, and has been mighty busy ever since. Mir. Floyd is said to have become candidate at the persistent insistance of many of the leading lawyers of the state since he announced there have been meetings of local bar associations in more than one of the larger towns in which MT. Floyd was given unanimous indorsemdt.
 Some interest also attaches to the race for secretary of state, in which there are but two entries-Joe w Power. the incumbent for the past IS years or more, and Robert E. Wilson, tion in office, an old democratic doc Urine, has been made an issue, but there are also found a great many men who believe in the merit system, and who know that Power ranks as one of the best and most conscientious and competent of all the state officials, and the best secretary of state Mississippi ever had. Both men have a great many friends and a few have been heard to say they would flip a coin the morn ing of the primary to see whether they shall vote for Power or Wilson.
