stittinal view | am cnfdent that
we MT My defend the interests
the peple f Mississippi BIT that
we defend the rights and interest
all peple f the United States.
In cnnectin, the Supreme Curt
the United States, by it's rul-
ings, has attcked the fundamen-
tai cncept f ur electin system.
Ink has the State f Mississippi
recognized the existence f the
tw outstanding plitical parties in
this natin - namely, the Dem
crate and Republican parties.
By the free, mature, and I'M
trammelled thught f ur peple,
the vast MARTY embraced the

as they pleased. 1t had been our
understanding, and in truth and
in fact today, that this same sys-

the Union.
UNFORTUNATELY, we have witnes
sed in the past decade a hue and
cry from he misinformed and mis-
guided form other sections of the
country. The situation as akin to
one which would exist if we, the
people of Mississippi, were to
point to the State of Maine and
the long history of dominance
by the Republican party in that
State and assert that each and
every members of the Democratic
Party in the State of Maine must
and should be entitled to vote
in the Republican primary.
1t is my solemn duy to advise
you as the Governor of your state
that there is a spirit of hispital-

cannot gnore and to which we
cannot submit Mississippians

as will ensure and guarantee the

AS to the specific legislation

Take My Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
Wnat 5 tne OElSins
(Scrapbook Item.)

@. The word nondescript looks in
teresting. What's its Original. L.
A. Nondescript evolved from the
Latin non, mot" plus descriptus,
described" The primary meaning
is, mot easily described" hence, "of
no particular class or character, as,
a hodge e-podge; of tawdry nature"
@. Can you explain why we speak
of something genuine as being "si-
mon-pure"?-C. I.
A. The expression has its origin
in an 18th century comedy, "A Bold
Stroke for q Wife," by SuSannah
Vanbrugh. The hero Is Pennsyl-
vania Quaker named Simon Pure.
On planning a trip to London, he
is given letter of introduction to
Obadiah Prim, the guardian OF q
beautiful heiress.
Unfortunately, Simon's letter falls
into the hands of the adventurer,
Col. Feignwell, who hastens to
the Prim residence, passes himself
off as Simon Pure, and tries to win
the girls hand. When Simon arrives,
he is treated as an impostor. 1t all
ends happily, however, when the
American finally proves that he is
"the real Simon Pure. Act V,
scene l.
Simon-pure now designates that
which is real, genuine, unadulter-
ated.
@. We're going to have tacky
party. Will you please discuss the
word tacky?-Mrs. w. H. S.
A. Tacky is an American word Of
obscure origin. In the 1800s, tacky
meant, "a nondescript or ill-con-
ditioned horse" In 1874, the Century
Magazine explained that, "The
scrubby little tackeys' still taken in
the marshes along the North Caro-
lima coast are descendants of the
wild horses of the colony"
Hence, by extension, tacky took
on its present-day meaning Of
dowdy; cheap and commonplace;
in poor taste.
