HIM FOR THE HONOR.

That He VIII Support Bryan and
Does Not Want the Nomination
is Not Taken Seriously by His
Friends.
Mornig Times Special.


Washington, Nov I6.-Bryan will
have serious opposition in the person
OF Tom Johnson, Clevelands mayor,
who has been selected by the anti
Bryan men as their candidate John
sons declaration for Bryan today is
not taken seriously by his would-be
supporters. who believe that deter
mined and concerted action on their
part will bring johnson into line for
the nomination, in spite OF his prefer
ence for Bryan. The old Cleveland
Parker wing is the backbone '7f the
Bryan opposition and has centered
on Mayor Johnson as their best
chance to defeat the Nebraskan. An
tiBryan leaders here are shouting
loud for Johnson. and sentiment for
him will crop out all over the nation.
Bryan men in this part OF the coun-
try are very scare. and the best in
formed men on the subject think
that he will have no chance at all at
che convention and that it is prob
able that he will withdraw from the
race before that time.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
OF STREET RAILWAYS

Jackson Miss, Nov. I6.-It is de-
cided that the decision of the su-
preme court, rendered last Monday
in the case of Love VS. Holmes, sus-
tanning the right of the municipality
OF Yazoo City to issue bonds for the
purpose of building a street railway
will induce several other towns
of the state to make plans for mimi
cipal ownership of this public utility.
The decision of the court is plain
and emphatic, the opinion read by
Justice Mayes being that municipal
ownership of street railways is not
violative either of the federal or
state constitution or of the ch&fte.
! of the snnicipaltI OF Yazoo City.

BY SENATOR POTTER.
Morning Times Special.

Morning Times Special
Jackson, Miss, Nov rs state
Senator Clayton ID. 2o.@cr. who VII
represent Kinds comfy i'll 5hc upper
br1i:ch OF the Legislature, has framed
, series of fnp.;rt;rt measures which
i NOS :@ : .hliallm ent of state.

the early part of the coming session
The principal bill Incorporates the
best features OF the depository law as
proposed by Sta teTreasurer W. !.
Miller. and also the Arnold bill which
was up for consideration al tic last
Legislative session. Senator Potter
mas given the subject considerable
study and his measures have been
framed with exceptional care. which
| carries guarantee that they will be
given careful consideration by the
| Legislature.
The main bill requires the state
treasurer to deposit in state and ma
tional banks OF approved standing
and responsibility all currrent funds
| in his hands, subject TO payment on
! demand from the auditor OF public
accounts when pay warrants are pre-
sented. and the banks carrying S.rch

per annun. interest rates II be fixed
/ by the Governor, Attorney General
and Trcasurer on the iirst Monday in
February OF each year. No bank

excess Of twenty-five per cent o; its
capital and surplus, and shall be

amount equal to the par vaiue of is
stock for the safe keeping 81 funds
The bill provides in detail .>r al The
business relations between the state
and th- repositories.
OF equal important, and perhaps o
more general interest, is Senaco1
Potter's bill establishing county dc
positories, by providing that board.
OF supervisors shall receive bid
from the banking institutions 70
tho privilege Of carrying the count,
funds, on which an interest rate 0
not less than three per cent shall b,

per year, and payment by the treas

bondsmen from any further liability,
The bill proposing the establish
naent of municipal repositories i
similarly framed, and it IS senate
Potter's plan to have all introduce
and brought up for consideration a
one time.
A very strong argument advance
in favor OF his plan is in the propose
reduction of thu salaries of count
: treasurers TO $500 per annum. whc
] would result in deciding saving t
the seventy-eight counties i'll tn
/ state. This will OF course bring fort
strenuous protest from the newl
elected county trcasurers who car
not be reasonably expected to man
fest pleasure over the prospect
seeing their fees and cmoluments g
glimmering into the dim distance
