Bilbo Single-Handed
In Governors S Race

jackson, Miss, Sept. 13. Al
though completely eliminated as a
possibility for governor in the recent
primary, Theo. G. Bilbo, refuses to
abide by the rules of the game and
stay out. Bilbo was understood to be
playing for the governors office dur
ing~the primary, and has now form
ally declared himself a candidate.
Where he expects to get his votes is
a question, especially in the face of
the fact that the Vardaman leaders
in the recent race declare that Bilbo
lost them 10000 votes by his various
speeches.
Bilbo is not on speaking terms
with Russell and could expect no
help from him. Everybody knows
that Bilbo and Vardaman never got
together save for political expedien-
cy. Judge Burch opposed Bilbos
entering the campaign for Varda-
man. Bilbo himself has played his
last political card.
