MISSISSIPPI'S PRIMARN.-It now
seems certain that the two United
States Senators TO be elected in Mis-
slsSlppi 10y the Legislature to be chos-
en- next fall will practically be nomi-
mated by the democratic voters of
that State. Already thirty-eight
counties have ordered primaries to
express their preferences for United
States Senators and TO instruct their
representatives in the Legislature to
vote their choice. These thirty-eight
counties make a total of ninety votes
on joint ballot IN the Legislature.
which is just exactly a majority of
both houses. Besides these, six other
counties will call mass meetings AT
which the question of holding pri-
maries 10 instruct will be considered.
and 1t is almost certain that primar-
les VIII be ordered. 1t is believed
there will be at least l2O instructed
in the next Legislature, out of total
vote of lS9 on joint ballot. For the
long term the contest is between GOV.
NcLaurin and Congressman John
Allen, while it is probable Senator
Sullivan will not have any opposition
for the short term, which he is now
hlling by appointment of the Cover

The Rev. Peter Mcqueen. whose let
