JACKSON, Miss. ~(ANP)~
For the present, at least, there
is little political activity in MisSissippi with approximately 50
days remaining before the state
elects a successor to the senate
seat of the late Theodore G.
Bilbo. Although four Democrats
and one lily-white,Republican
have announced their candidacies, the. campaign fireworks
are: conspicuously absent.

According to one. political observer, ~not in 25 years have 1
seen candidates. so quiet at this
stage of a. political campaign.
There~s hardly a breath of political talk on this city~s streets
today. It~s all so puzzling that
nobody seems to know what
move to make next.~

Although it is expected that

all five canudates will ~sing

Quiet On Mississippi~ $ White
Supremacy Front As Election Nears

the ~white supremacy~ ~theme
more or less loudly, the ~strongest contender would appear td
be a veteran racist, Rep: John
E. Rankin. Next in line -is-Forrest B. Jackson, a protege ot
Bilbo since his childhood.

Other candidates include Rep.
W. M. (Bill) Colmer, a member
of congress for the past 14
years who was largely Tresponsible for keeping the FEPC- bill
tied up in the house rules committee; Circuit Judge John J.
Stennis, a graduate of Mississippi State college and the law
school of the University of Virginia, and a ~mild supporter~
of white supremacy. The independent Republican is L. R.
Collins, 76-year-old Spanish:
American War veteran ahd
champion of the ~lily-white~~
republican forces. ~

The pastor and members of
the James Chapel CME church
cordially invite the public to
worship with them in. their
