Jones, who is a candidate for reelection, met in debate here this morning Gov. Jefferson Davis, who is advocating the election of ex-Gov. J. P. Clark to succeed Jones. Gov. Davis spoke first and attacked Senator Jone9 for bis connection with the alleged round bale cotton trust. He asked those in the audience who were wearing Jones buttons to look on the | back of them and see the imprint of a factory in New Jersey, which State i the governor called the "home of i trusts." Senator Jones defended his connection with the round bale inter' ests and quoted Wm. J. Bryan's decI laration that he had investigated and found that Senator Jones' company was not a trust.
