ALABAMA PouTIcAL RESULTS

Montgomery, Ala, May l8.-Judge
Henry p. Merritt, incumbent, was
nominated as his own successor on
the court Of appeals by a majority Of
10000 over Emmett S. Thigpen, his
runner-up, in the primary Tuesday,
according to official returns Friday.
John H. Wallace, Jr., incumbent,
said his lead was three thousand and
that late reports could not change the
result. A. L. Kimbrough stated that
his record showed him leading by one
thousand.
Late returns confirm first reports
that Judge B. NJ. Miller has defeated
Judge Joel B. Brown, incumbent, for
the unexpired term on the supreme
court bench. Judge William Thomas
of Montgomery leads the three can
didates for the two positions, but
Judge Miller has run far ahead of
Judge Brown.
The lead Of A. G. Patterson, who
defeated Sam P. Kennedy, incumbent,
for president of the public service
commission, becomes greater and
greater as additional reports arrive,
and it seems that he has carried all
counties with the exception Of about
five.
No record has been kept of the vote
for delegates to the national conven-
ton and no one knows whether the
prohibitionists or anti-prohibitionists
were successful. First returns indi-
Gated that the first four names on the
ticket from the state at large, all pro-
hibitionists, would be nominated.
Complete returns having shown
that Senator Underwood has ma
jority over both opponents for United
States senator, his state headquarters,
which have been open in Montgomery
since Feb. /, were closed Friday,
One surprise Of the primary has
been the small vote cast. Official re-
turns on the long term senatorship
show that only few votes more than
one hundred and twenty thousand
were cast. 1t has been expected that
100000 and probably 10000 would
participate.

w. p. STRIBLING OPENS HIS
CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS

Senator William P. Stribling, of
Columbus, Lowndes County, began
his active campaign for Congress at
the opening Of the cicuit court at
Starkville last Monday, and The News
carries Mr.. Stribling's formal an
nouncement in this issue.
Mr.. Stribling, at any rate. is one
candidate whose position on the most
vital questions today confronting the
American people is distinct, we'll
defined and uneduivocal. He does
not bubble and beat around the
bushes of doubt and uncertainty;
his views are pronounced, and he does
not lack the courage to announce
them. He speaks with conviction, and
manifests a sincerity of purpose
pleasing to observe IN one seeking po-
''' Il IS pi impossible jforI The News to
go into detailed or elaborate discus
sion of Mr. Stribling's address, but
if the policies which he declared him
self as standing for were enacted IN
to law, they would result in much
good to the people of this country
The News believes that the voters
should make it a point to hear candi-
dates for office, and particularly can
didates for Congress. Many think OF
our government as some mysterious
intagible thing located everywhere in
general and nowhere in particular
with Headquarters in Washington
In fact. the BODY of the peopla is the

government, and the government is
conducted by our chosen representa-
tives; hence, when the representa-
tives meet in Washington to enact
laws for general veal, to raise neces-
sary revenue, and spend our money,
the things they do are simply being
done by us by proxy
Therefore, we should see to it that
we know who the man is who bears
our proxy. Get his views on govern
mental questions. A man without an
opinion is one without initiation,
without a purpose and, without a
purpose, he can accomplish nothing
we hope for.
Mr.. Stribling is an eloquent and
able speaker, and the measures he
advocates are of interest to every in
dividual and doubtless would be of
general benefit if enacted into law.
He is strongly endorsed by his own
people of our neighboring county of
Lowndes, and The News takes pleas
ure in submitting his claims for the
consideration of the voters of this
district. -Starkville News.

court house going south. He turned

struck by two Of the five shots, and
was on the point Of falling, was
caught by the officer. Fite was ar

gan, arrived on the scene and assisted
Busby with the wounded man and the

WOULD VOTE ON BONDS

Lexington, Miss, May 15.--The
people of this county are almost
unanimous for a referendum on the
$5,000,000 bond issue for new state
buildings. A petition was circulated
here yesterday, and of 800 voters to
whom it was presented $50 promptly
signed it, including farmers, mer-
chants, doctors, lawyers, bankers, and
all other classes. Not one single
country man, nor voter connected
with a bank, declined to sign. The
signatures of six thousand voters
are required to stop the bond issue as
to new buildings, no objection being
made to about $4,000 for repairs,
under the petitions prepared by ex-
Governor Noel.
Many people here believe that this
is time for repairing old buildings
ana old clothes, ana dong without
new ones unless they are absolutely
necessary, and that the state institu-
tons can get along much better with
only repairs ON old buildings than
homeless people can get along with
out homes, which are now difficult
to get, and will be almost impossible
for many homeseekers if there is any
further increase in labor and building
material, as there surely will be if
the state enters into. as the bond is

THE RAILRoDs AGAIN

The railroads are again back at the
government-asking aid, and al
once.
This time il is freight congestion
which is imperiling the welfare Of the
whole nation.
The full effect Of the yard mems
outlaw strike is just dawning upon
the people, and hundreds of thousands
of cars are now tied up in embar-
goes and blockades, which cannot be
delivered.
Some communities and cities are
running short of food and fuel
causing prices to rocket skyward, anc
factories to close down. Unless re-
lief is supplied within the next few
weeks a very serious condition will
confront the people of the north
where the congestion is largest.
Something radical should be done
The government should arrange al
once for 100000 freight cars ant
needed motive power to run them. A
survey of the nations needs now re-
veals these as imperatively necessary
Embargoes should be placed upor
all luxuries and maintained until the
present problems are solved, and the
concentrated energies of the nation
should be applied to the early solu-
tion of the railroad problem.
1t is the one big problem Of Amer
lea, 1t must be settled. The welfare
Of the whole people absolutely rests
upon it. We cannot begin to APP
proach normal conditions until the
transportation of the country is
functioning properly; and it has moi
been functioning normally since the
world war began.
Congress should quit jockeying fol
presidential political advantage, anc
grapple with the conditions confront
ing our own home people. Pass the
Peace Treaty to the "solemn refer.
endum" asked for by President Will
son, and let the people decide in No
vember. To temporize further with
the railway problem, to defer actor
on the acute problems pressing with
such force on the great masses of The
people, is to invite permanent nation
al disaster.
The affairs Of America are in {
critical condition, and the first dut!
of the President and Congress is I,
