Little Rock, Nov. 23.-It seems cer- tain now that there will be no joint campaign in the gubernatorial race, at least none in which all three of the gubernstorial candidates will take part. as Governor Donaghey has re- piled to the note of Attorney General Norwood relative to this matter, de- clining joint canvass. The letter from Mir. Norwood was sent to the governor Wednesday, asking that q series of joint dates be arranged, a,
 which all gubernatorial candidates could appear and discuss political is- sues.
 In reply, the note of Governor Don- aghey is as follows:
 "I have your letter of this date asking again that I enter into joini campaign with you for the office o1 governor. Replying, beg to say tha I cannot see wherein the state wouls be benefited by such campaign, and being entirely satisfied with the pres ent progress of my own interests, see no reason why I should change m, plan.'
