GOV. LONGINOS CAMPAIGN.
He Is Making an Active and Elective
CanvasS-LonSino Campaign Com
mittees Organized.

Jackson, Miss. June 23.-Goy.
Longino is now engaged with the
third week of his active campaign
tour for the United States Sen
ate, and he is moving about with
an activity that is somewhat dis
concerting to his opponent, while
the support he is rallying to his
side is surprising even to his
friends.
Not over go days ago it was
freely predicted that the Govern.
or did not have the slightest
chance to win in his fight with
Senator Money. Today even
those who are opposed to him
admit that it will be a close race.
while the Lonigno supporters are
absolutely confident of victory.
. Last week the Governor fin
ished his tour of Northeast Mis-
sissippi, a section of the state he
had never before visited. He
SPOKE in fourteen counties, many
of which had been conceded to
Senator Money. The Governor
is now confident that he will carry
two-thirds of the counties visited,
with a fighting chance in others.
On Tuesday the Governor
spoke at Utica and Natchez. He
had no engagements Wednesday,
but on Thursday goes to Chester,
in Choctaw county, speaking there
in the morning and at Aclerman
in the same county, at night.
He speaks at Louisville, in Wins
ton county, on Friday, and al
Philadelphia, in Neshoba county

With an organization such as
this at his back, active campaign
work in progress in all parts OF
the State, and splendid assurances
of support coming in from all
quarters, the Governor has good
cause to contemplate his chances
with feeling of satisfaction.
The Meridian Press, admittedly
one of the strongest daily papers
in the State, up to the time
the Governor spoke at Meridian,
one of Col. Moneys most formid,
able supporters, is now advocating
the election of the Governor. We
note this with qualification for
two reasons; one, that Longino is
built of good senatorial timber,
and aside from his most scrupu-
lous integrity and great executive
ability, is man in the prime Of
life with the necessary energy to
accomplish much for the State and
people he loves the other is that
the Press is a very influential,
high-toned paper that can aid ma
terially the candidacy of the Gov.
ernor. Scranton Chronicle.

the immediate developments to give point
to this factor. Some OF the stocks in which

some quarters to a supposition that 1t rep

is attributed to dissatisfaction with the in
creased dividend requirements which will
be placed on earnings, and In some. cases
to the fear that the proposed expenditures

peCially true of expenditures for improve

trasted with the speculative excitement
caused by former projects during the era
of combination and community OF interest.
The tact that the congestion of railroad
traffic plainly points TO thS necessity Tor
generally seems insufficient to recommend
the new plans to buyers OF stocks. Ii must
be remembered, however, that the capital
issues toward the former vast projects fof
cCnsolida tons provided for the aymen of
dazzling prices for the securities Of alb.
sorbed properties which were still quoted
In the market. The violent advances in
prices thus induced were the powerful
stimulant to the speculation which swept
the whole market during that period. While
the current series of capital issues provide
for expenditures upon the substantial bet
terment of the properties concerned, and
might be supposed to appeal more favorably
to the Investment class, they c ause no such
violent stimulation to prices by project for
buying other properties at prices far above
the prevailing market level.
