AiUiIUuku III viii uc IuUIc IlldU
year before the next campaign fol
state officers, there is much discus
sion around the capitol building as to
who the candidates for the various
offices are likely t. be. 1t is most
difficult, however, to draw any of the
Ulcers or prospective candidates into
a discussion OF their own plans. Ia
facc, in the very nature of things,
very few Of the politicians could not
have fully malured their plans thus
far i'm advance, and there are several
Of them who, while certain that they
will run for some thing, do not know
just what it will be.
In the race for governor there are
two certaInties. Hon. Charles Scott,
the big R0Sedale planter, and Hon.
Earl Brewer, the ClarkSdale lawyer,
who came SO near winning over Gov
ernor Noel in the campaign of 1907;
these two being the only ones of six
VII, were permitted to get in the
second primary, although Mr.. Scott,
VINO was also candidate, and who
did mot get along well with Mr..
Brewer, was close third. Besides
these, Lieu, ,erant Governor Luther
ManShip has beeu often urged to get
in the race. but has never consented
to do so. Former Lieutenant Cover
NOR G. d. Stands OF Sards, lately Of
the Tulane College faculty in New
| ORE ans, and Dr. J D. Donald. Of Hat
| tiesburg, have been prominently men
toned. While others may get in the
race. 1t is generally conceded that
the interesting part OF the contest
will be bet Xcen the two sure candi-
| dates.
For lieu,er ant governor the name
Of Hon. Ii. NJ. Quin. Of this city, now
chairman Of the judiciary committee
Of the house OF representatives and
who was close runner after the
speakership of that body, has been
mentioned, as has been tina: OF Hon.
j. r Mcdowell, also of this city,
member of the state senate from this
district, author OF the child labor law
AID chairman of the senate committee
on banks and banking. State Senator
Tbeo. &. Bi bo, OF Puplarville, who led
the South Mississippi forces at the
last session Of the legislature in the
fight for a constitutional convention,
is also said To lave aspirations alCng
this line.
Although Secretary Of State j. W
Power. who succeeded his father in
that office several years ago. and who
has held it practically without oppo-
sltion, it is said he Is Likely t" have a
race for his money in the coming cam
paign. Among these already men
tioned as probable candidates is Hon
l.. Pink Smith, Of Greenvile, editor
Of the Greenvi!le Democrat AMI :or
several years clerk Of the house of
representatives. Mr.. o. L. Mckay, of
Meridian, has alSn been prominently
mentioned. Mr. Mckay has been very
| little in politics, having been a rail
! road man by choice Of occupations
but he has been prominent as a lodge
man for several years and is well
known all over the state.
Z, 1t is regarded as almost certain
that D. L. Thompson, the present
deputy auditor. will be a candidate t.
succeed Audito' E j. Smith, who is
&. c.nsuituLloually barred from succeed
ing himself. and that Mr.. Thompson
will have as competitor Hon. T. r
Maxwell, now secretary of the rail
road commission. Mr.. Maxwell was
defeated by Mr.. Smith in the former
1x,1n Ho11 81,
many years mem Der Of State Reve
nue. Agent Adams force Of deputies
recently resigned, is also spoken Of as
a possibility in this contest.
1t is generally understood THAI
Hon. W. j. Miller, former treasurer
and now deputy insurance commits
sioner, will again be a candidate fol
treasurer, and it is thought he will bt
opposed by Mr.. P. s Stoyall Of Clin
ton, president of the bank there
treasurer of the Mississippi College
endowment fund and a candidate
against Treasurer Edwards in the
former campaign. Mr. Edwards can
not succeed himself.
The contest for the place of attor
ney general is a somewhat pulling
impression that Attorney Genera
; Stirling will not be candidate to sue
ceed himself. just wnere this impres
; zion originated it is impossible tt
cell. but everybody seems to have it.
although none can give their reasons
In the event he does not enter tbt
race it is believed Assistant ATTORNEY
General Butler will, but that the lat
ter will not do so otherwise. Hon T
L. Lamb, of Corinth, district attorne!
in the fifth circuit court district, Ii
said to have aspirations that will ge
him actively in the race, no matte
{ who else runs, and Hon. A. L. Yates
Of Columbia, member of the house o
representatives from Marion county
D is known to have watched the Offic
: with a coveting eye.
