TWO PARTIES WILL
MAKE The CANVASS
Candidates For State Offices
To Form Two Squads.

Owing to the large number of
candidates for Governor and
United States Senator, the aspir-
ants for the first office number
ing six and those desiring the
second being two, the opinion
prevails around the capital that
during the forthcoming joint de-
bate and canvass for office these
eight will tour the State together,
while the numerous aspirants for
the other State offices will form
another body to discuss the issues
of the day with the voters.
To absorb the speeches of
twenty or so office seekers in a
single day, as would be neces-
sary unless this plan of separa-
ton be adopted, would be just a
trifle more thar the average eiti.
zen is able to stand within the
course of twelve hours, and as
result of such a large number of
speakers delivering addresses
within that time there would be
confusion in the minds of the
voter as to the various issues and
principles advocated by the diff
ferent candidates, and he would
return to his home no more en-
lightened as to public questions
than before he attended the
meeting.
Even with the eight that are
proposed to go together, the
speeches although short, would
leave an abundance of matter for
the citizens to ponder over.
The candidates for Auditor,
Insurance Commissioner, Score
tary of State, Attorney General,
and other similar offices, will
compose the second party to
make a tour Of the common
wealth. Clarion Ledger.

the trustees want to send outsid e

tor of national distinction for
the chancellorship.
There is no likelihood what
ever that Prof. A. A. Kincannon,
president of the Industrial Insti-
tute and College, will be offered
the place. Prof. Kincannon is
well satisfied with his present
position, which he regards as a
higher honor than the chBncel-
lorship of the University, and
has stated that he would not ac-
cept the place if rendered to

BONDS ARE Voted
BY BIG MAJORITY
BOYS and Girls will Have Better
Facilities For Their Work.

The election Thursday on the
issuance of bonds for very great
Iy needed improvements was a
great victory for those who favor
progress and the upbuilding of
the city.
There was but little opposition
as is evidenced bv the votes cast,
the same being 2e2 for and sc
against tbs measure. Thirty
thousand dollars worth of these
bonds go for the erection of a
new school building and making
much needed repairs on the
Franklin Academy while the re-
mainder will pc spent In extend

LOOKS MUCH
LIKE SAUNDERS
May Be Named as Chancellor
OF the University.

The belief is gaining strength
that the board of trustees of the
University Of Mississippi, at the
meeting to be held in this city
on the 21st of June, will tender
the chancellorship of the insti-
tuition to Prof. Paul Saunders,
of Laurel, a former member of
the faculty, who severed his
connection with the University
two wears ago.
Governor Vardaman enter
tains very high regard for
Prof. Saunders, and this feeling
is shared by quite number OF
members on the board. II the
sentiment In favor Of Prof. Saun-
ders continues at its present rate
of development. it will not be a
surprise If he is selected for the
place.

neither Judge Edward Mayes ol

lature showed its appreciation for
the teachers of the State by max
ing it possible for them to receive
larger salaries, and | hope that
the teachers of the State will
show their appreciation of what
the Legislature and people have
done for them by availing them
selves of the opportunities offer
ed for making better preparation
for their work.

schools will be the strongest in

hope the teachers will attend in
largely increased numbers.

BROOKS LEADS
IN SHOE SALES
Columbian Climbs Over Second
Place and Takes the Lead.

Mr.. w. Fl. Brooks, of this city,
representing the Peters Shoe Co.,
of ST. Louis, is happy and so
are his friends. For several
years Mr.. Brooks has ranked
second in the matter of ship
ments. Now he takes the lead,
and when it is un1ersto ID that
eighty eight travelling sales
men are employed by this COM
pany, his record is one that any
man may we'll feel proud of.
During these several years while
he has ranked second the man
who beat him had, and now has,
an interest in twenty y-eight stores
and he travels in private car
in Colorado and California. For
the five months in 1906, ending
June 1st, the shipments made on
Mr.. Brooks orders amounted to
S101 900. which is $4,000. better
than the next best man had. His
sales for the same period wac
over ninety thousand dollars
more.
The Peters Shoes are recog-
nized as among the best and
with such husllers as Brooks,
there isn't any wonder that he
succeeds.

MAYOR BEHRMAN'S
EMPHATIC DENIAL
Says There is No Yellow Fever
In New Orleans.
4 New Orleans special says:

A New Orleans special says:
Mayor Behrman telegraphed
tonight to newspapers which re-
ported to have printed stories
that yellow fever existed in New
Orlaans az follows:
sReports of yellow fever in
New Orleans absolutely false.
We have no reason to conceal,
and invite most rigid inspection
and investigation. 1t is emil
nently unjust to confound
places remote from here with
New Orleans"
The telegram was called forth
by reports confusing Ship Island
quarantine station in the Missis-
sippi Sound, where there are
three CAGES of yellow fever with
the New Orleans quarantine
station.
INSPECTION OF INFECTED AREA.
A thorough system of inspec-
ton of the sixty city blocks
from which yellow fever last
year originated or was the worst,
has been inaugurated under the
direction of the State and City
Boards of Health as precaution
against a possible outbreak this
year.
Every house in this district is
visited by inspectors at least
once every two weeks, whose
duties include enforcement of
the law that all cistsrns must be
screened and the general sani-
tary regulations Observed. A

HE WANTS A
JOINT DEBATE
Congressman Williams VIII Ask
Gov. vardaman TO Meet Him.

A special from Jackson Gays:
Congressman John Sharp Viii
Iiams wants a series of joint de-
bates with Governor Vardaman
this summer, and ii is expected
that he will send formal nCts TO
the governor shortly after his
return from Washington asking
that series of appointments be
arranged for a discussion of the
political issues OF the day.
In other words, Mr.. Williams
is in readiness to open the sena-
torial campaign, providing his
antagonist is willing. II the
governor is not willing. then be
will be compelled to wait until
next year, when the Legislators
who are to name Senator Mon
ey's successor will be elected.
1t is not the desire of the DEM
ocratic minority leader TO have
thorough canvass made OF the
state during the present year,
but he would like to "start the
ball rolling" so to speak, and
to measure lances with his oppo-
nent, preliminary to the real
fight.
No intimation has been given
as to whether the governor will
accept the challenge for joint
debate, but it is believed that be
will do so. The friends of Mr..
Williams say that he is willing
to leave all of the arrangements
as to time and place in the gov
ernor's hands, in order that the
events may net interfere with
his executive duties. Inciden-
tally, this offer furnishes no loop
hole for escape in case the gov
ernor should make the plea that
official duties will not permit
him to swing around the circle,
and 1T is evident that the gentle
man from Yazoo has not lost his
cunning.
The return of Mr.. Williams
from TIE national capital THE
year is being looked forward to
with more interest than at any
time since his selection as demo
cratic minority leader, not on
account of the approaching cam
paign for the senate, but also
the fact that he is expected TO
outline what, in his opinion,
should be the course of the dem
ocratic party in the next presi-
Dental campaign, and who
should be the party nominee.
His personal friends state that
he will unhesitatingly declare
for Mr.. Bryan.

Nothing to Say About His New Lease

death for the murder of William
Marsch Rice, heard last night of
the action of Judge Day in grant
ing him the writ of error and stay
of executive pending the bring
ing Of his case before the United

BOOMING BRYAN
FOR PRESIDENT
Same Has Assumed Decided
Proportions.

A special from Washington says
More problems have pressed
forward in the field of national
politics within the last week and
more interest has been aroused
over the question Of candidates
for 1915 than the oldest petit
clans are able to recall iE con-
nection with any previous season
tao years ahead Of the conven-
tiOns. The developments of the
last two days have ADDED several
elements OF Importance to the
si;uStion.
The Bryan boom stands out as
the greatest object Of wonder.
Ia a general way it is no sur
prise to the observers who see
farthest. They long ago pre-
dicted that the Nebraskan would
be the choice of the eouserva-
lives who formerly opposed him,
as well as the masses who re-
mained regular" in 1896 and
isse0. However, they did not
expect things 10 move so sud
denly. and they are astonished
~ the precipitateness with which
most Of the old regime seem to
be jumping for the Bryan wagon.
About sll thst i now needed
20 make the conservative in
5orsement Cf Bryan complete is
8 word from former President
Grover Cleveland. Cleveland's
former cabinet officials have
been heard from with consider
able emphasis First came Da-
vid r.. Frances, Of Missouri,
yesterday William F. Villas, Of
Wisconsin. gave the boom a
further shove. and it is reported
here that former Attorney Gen.
ersl ludson Harmon. Of Ohio,
has declared himself privately as
fsvoring Bryan, and that he viii
give public utterance soon.
One Of the most significant Of
the Bryan Endorsements is that
Of former Senator. Postmaster
General and Secretary of the
Interior Villas. who was one of
the foremost leaders Of the anti
silver wing At the Chicago con-
vention in 1906. When the
split came he was a ruling spirit
in arranging and carrying out
the Indianapolis convention that
resulted in the nomination of
Palmer and Buckner. OF par
tienlar significance. however, is
the fact that Mr.. Villas, of all of
CIevelSnd's personal friends,
has been in closest touch with
the SSge Of Princeton, from n
purely political standpoint Ever
since Cleveland was first nomi-
mated for the presidency in 1884
Villas having been permanent
chairman OF the convention--the
political thoughts Of both have
run practically In the same
groove. The Cleveland-Nilasl
friendship has continued since
the retirement Of both from off,
cial life.
