 It was late in the afternoon when i the committe on resolutions brought
 in report. but it was a good one and was heartily indorsed. Full approval was gwen .o Presilent Wilson and all ne has done or tried to do to sus- l tain the honor and guard the welfare Of the nation; the League of Nations was favored as the "surest if not the l only practical, means of maintaining the permanent peace of the world anl terminating the insufferable burden of great military and naval tablish- ments."

 Mr. McAdoo and w. J. Bryan. There
 was no applause at the mention of
 the Nebraskan. but in the event the
 San Francisco convention should nomi-
 nate him Mississippi democrats will no doubt swallow him again. Judging
 by the noise made at the mention of inc name of MT. McAdoo. he had the majority of the delegates, but Gov ernor Cox received great applause. A personal friend of the Buckeye state favorite has been in Jackson for week or more. and there is no doubt he has created a favorable impress sion. But then, Mississippi don't care much who is nominated--he will be voted for just the same

Walker Is a graduate of the college one of the first and has been connected herewith ever since his graduation. a quarter of century ago. It is urged that no new man could come in and keep the machinery of the institution running as could Dr. Walker.
