city, against the city of Meridian,
the mayor, city clerk, city treasurer,

from building and operating its own
system of water works, and violating
the contract between the city and the
water works company, and from the
issuing the $3.50, 600 bonds which they
propose. The bill also charges that

COMBINATIONS AND CLIQUES
AVAIL BUT LITTLE.
Special to the Daily Progress

Special to the Daily Progress
Jackson, March 12.-Combinations
between politicians and candidates for
state office, if any such have been
made. will avail but little in the
Mississippi campaign this year. The
union of cliques and Welding of fac
tions cannot possibly have wide-
spread effect when a compulsory
primary election law is in force, and
the measure now ON the statute books,
which was recommended by Governor
Longino in 1900 and failed of passage
at that session of the legislature, but
enacted into law at the 1902 session,
means that the strongest man before
the people will inevitably be the win
ner, and the various schemes, wiles
and maneuvers employed in state and
county conventions to accomplish a
nomination cannot be used where the
suffragist goes into the polling booth
and registers his choice without die
tation from any leader, and connec-
tions of the knowledge that the con-
tents of his ballot can never be made
public unless he chooses to do so.
Since the opening of the campaign
there has been great deal of talk
about combinations between various
and much unfavorable
comment has been made concerning
those alleged deals. The most casual
investigation will show that they ex-
ist chiefly in the imagination and
that nearly every candidate is running
more or less on his own merits. 1t is
of course fast that they are glad to
