mapping out program Of work. Most
pressing of the many matters before the
president were the annual appropriation
bills recently passed by Congress. IN
considering the agricultural bill, the ex-

minded and honorable man or woman.
The political conspirators, with q
stacked committee, and the States
resources at their command worked
day and night for weeks and months
to establish something against me in
those investigations but had to admit
their failure so to do. Now, let me re-
peat that any man or newspaper that
tries to defame me and destroy by
reference and insinuations my name
and reputation, is not only a lying
assassin but a coward of the deepest
dye. ! appeal to the method of cam

me as it is to any living man or
woman.
Give me only square deal and

first time, having attained their ma
Jorty while in the army.
Under the ruling of the Democratic
state executive committee all men
who srved with the colors, regardless
of whether they paid poll taxes during
the past two years, or have their
names on the registration books, can
vote, it being required that they ex-
hibit their honorable discharges.
The supporters of Hon. Oscar John
ston, the soldier-candidate, claim
that he will get an overwhelming ma
jority of the soldier voCe, as he is
the only man in the race who served
with the colors. This is vigorously
disputed by the followers of ex-Gover-
nor Longino, who served as a Y. NJ.
c.. A. worker at Camp Shelby, and had
three sons in the service in France.
The Vote In Former Years.
AS before stated, the forecasters do
not agree in their figures on the prob
able size of the vote this year, some
of TIM being 10000 apart.
To what extent the lack of inter-
est is going to cut down the vote is,
of course, matter on which it is inn
possible to figure with any degree of
accuracy. In the Senatorial campaign
last year, for instance, there was con-
siderable apathy, despite fhe fact that
the patriotism of SE~aoI J. X. Varda-
man was the chief issue involved, and
the vote polled was only 107,6 $50. Part
of tbs heavy reduction from the nor
NAL can, of course, be attributed to
the large number of soldiers who
were out of the state and did not take
advantage of the opportunity to vote
by mail The vote in the Senatorial
primary was apportioned as follows:
Harrison. 56,873. Vardaman, 44,O26;
Noel, 6,731; total, 107,63O
In the campaign for governor four
years ago a total of 145,O24 votes
we're polled, apportioned as follows:
Bilbo, 74,573; Kelley, 44,717; Tally,
1l,45l; Quin, 1927; Stovall, 6,7O5.
Bilbo's majority over all being a little
less than 1000 votes.
If the total next Tuesday equals
that Of four years ago it will be an
occasion for much surprise and at the
same time, in spite of political apathy,
lack of enthusiasm, and the dullest
campaign the state has ever known.

SOME FORMER ELECTION
FIGURES


Unless the event proves to be very
one-sided, which does not now appear
probable, the result of the primary
for governor next Tuesday, August
5th, may not be definitely known until
"a hours after the polls close, and il
may take considerable longer, should
it prove a close finish between the
two leading candidates.
The political prognosticators are
busy trying to figure out the result,
but there is a wide variance in their
forecasts. About the only point on
which majority Of them seem 10
agree is that Attorney General Ross
Collins will be the fourth man in the
race, and this, Of course, is disputed
~ the adherents Of Collins.
me second primary viii be be-
tA,-a Johnson and Russell, Johnson
and Lsngino, or Longino and Russell,
according 10 Ihe Political prophets,
and, strange TO say, their views are
u coiored to any large extent by
personal preferences, for the contest
Is drawing rapidly TO close without
the slightest senlblance of the intense
partisan feeling that usually charac-
terizes gubernatorial contests in this
state.
The forecasters are not even able
to approximately agree on the proba-
bic size of the vote. Some say that,
because of the lack of interest, the
general feeling of apathy, it will be
very light. Others contend that the
numerous candidates for county and
district offices win have sufficient
influence TO bring out almost a full
vote.
Tons of campaign literature are
now being sent out from Jackson. The
headquarters of the four candidates
for governor, to say nothing OF the as
pirants for other state offices, have
literally swamped the loca! post
office with letters, circulars and PAM
phlets, and hundreds of boys and girls
are earning good money wrapping and
addressing these appeGS to the
voters.
Election officers in some of the
counties, especially those IN the north
central and northeastern portions of
the state, are VIGOROUSLY slow in
tabulating and forwarding their re-
turns, and in former years they have
furnished sets of figures colored in
accordance with the hopes of the var
ious candidates, the official returns
not being available until the meeting
Of the Democratic State executive
committee, which in this instance will
be on Wednesday, August 18th, or one
week after the primary.
An effort is being made this year
to speed up reports from ali the coun-
ties, and, while smaller precincts in
many Of the counties may be missing.
there is reason to believe that the fig
ures in hand by midnight ought to
indicate the result with considerable
accuracy.
The Soldier Vote.
The soldier vote, is it generally con-
coded, will cut considerable figure
