HAVE NO OPPOSITION


Special to The Neaos.
Jackson, Miss, June 2.-In three of
the eight congressional districts of
Mississippi the formality of holding
primary elections this year will be
dispensed with, owing to the fact that
present incumbents have no opposi.

committees have authority when only
one candidate is in the field, TO meet
and declare that candidate the party
nominee, and thus save the expense
Of holding an election. The fortunate
congressman in whose districts this
method will be followed are Messrs.
Gambler, Humphreys and Collier.
The primary election law requires
that congressional elections must be
held not earlier than the goth of Au-
gust, nor later than the first of Sep

When 1 asked her if she would allow
me to publish the prescription, she
quickly answered: Certainly, only
too glad to have you do it" Turning
to a desk she wrote it on a slip of
paper and handed it TO me; here it
is, Go to any drug store, get al

tombstone Too Daring.
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 1S.-Ralph
Johnstone's style of operating his aero
plane was contrary to the advice and
repeated warnings of the Wright
brothers, according to Roy Knaben-
shue, general manager Of the exhibit
ton department of the Wright COM
pany. Knabenshue is in Los Angeles,
having come to the Pacific coast with
a view of arranging engagements for
the three Wright filters.
1.-The death of tombstone is a terrible
blow to all connected with the Wright
company" said Mr.. Knakenshue. He
was too daring. 1t was BrookinS who
created the spiral dip which tombstone
was attempting when he met his death.
tombstone copied it, only going to limit
in fitting his machine. When Orville
Wright first saw it performed he said
Cut it out The brothers then figured
out to the pound just what pressure
the planes would stand and they told
the boys never to tilt their planes
more than As degrees.
, But a short time before he received
the news of Johnstone's death Mr..
Knabenshue received a telegram from
Brookins telling of Wednesdays ex-
hibition in Denver. This contained the
words which are now significant:
''Johnstone flies as he pleases."
Mr. Knabenshue said the death of
tombstone left future exhibition plans
somewhat in doubt, but he is satisfied
they will be resumed. There will. how
ever, be no flights made by Brookins
and HoXsey on the Pacific coast in the
near future.
