SOLONS SEATS ARE
Being Contested
Halt a Dozen or More Legislators
Are Placed on The Anxious
Seat.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-The Low
er House of the legislature is in a
snarl over the qualifications of some
of its members. Governor Noel sent
in a message this morning obiecting
to the seating of newly elected men,
bers from Lowndes and Lincoln coun-
ties, stating that he ordered no spe-
cial election in the former county.
while in the latter the election was
not held according to law. The mes
sage was referred to the special Com
mittee on Contested Seats which is
considering the eligibility of a half
dozen other members who have been
voting regularly on pending measures,
but who are charged with being dis
qualified because of a change in resi-.
dence. Objection was entered during
one of the roll calls to the vote of
Representative Afford of Pike, on the
ground that he is a paid agent of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and it is unlawful to hold both y
Federal and State office He was not
allowed to vote. The Senate voted
down resolution to adjourn sine die
Saturday afternoon and it is the evi.
dent intention of both houses to go
fully into the several special subjects

GOVERNOR SPRINGS
Another SURPRISE
Insists That Amendments Recently
Adopted Must at Once Be In
serted in Law.

~pecial to Yhp Ne,Ga.
Jackson, Miss, Nov. 1O.-Governor
Noel sprung another surprise on the
legislature this morning when he sent
a message recommending that the
amendments providing for the cleo
tive judiciary system for circuit
judges and chancellors be inserted in
the organic law before adjournment.
The Governor holds that the consti-
tuition requires that amendments
adopted at the polls be inserted at
"the next succeeding legislative ses-
sion," and that this measure cannot
be carried over until the regular Jan
uary session without rendering it void.
The legal point was raised some time
since that the amendment is already
invalid because it proposes more than
one change in the organic law in one
amendment.

feels that it should show in some way
its appreciation for these acts of fe
licitation, hence this reception on
Monday afternoon.
Ladies Aid Societies will meet on
this afternoon and it is planned to
have them attend the reception col
lectively, and arrangements will be
made to have a central place of meet
ing and the college will see that con-
veyances are placed at the disposal of
these ladies' and others who may be
desirous of attending, so there will
be ample opportunity for all to go.
Definite plans and arrangements will
be announced from different pulpits

POLITICAL.

President Taft's immediate call ior
an extra session of Congress in April
puts a new face on the reciprocity
situation and may, in the opinion OF
some of the opponents, as well as the
champions of the proposed agree
ment, save the cause in Canada from
any peril it may have incurred by the
failure of the United States Senate to
indorse the plan. 1t is generally con-
ceded that if a reciprocity session of
Congress had not been summoned and
ratification had been left to the ses-
sion next fall, the Canadian advocates
of the plan might have been dis
heartened and probably parliament
would follow the example of Congress,
leaving ratification to it's chances at
the succeeding session.

CANADIAN
RECIPROCITY

WERE DISHEARTENED.
SAY TAFT MADE GOOD
ENERGETIC CAMPAIGN BEING
WAGED BY CANADIAN oP-
PONENTS OF MEASURE.

Ottawa Ont-President Taft's i'm
mediate call for an extra session of
Congress in April puts a new face on
the reciprocity situation and may, in
the opinion of some of the opponents,
as we'll as the champions of the pro-
posed agreement, save the cause in
Canada from any peril it may have in
Cured by the failure of the United
States Senate to indorse the plan.
1t is generally conceded that if a
reciprocity session of Congress had
not been summoned and ratification
had been left to the session next fall,
the Canadian advocates of the plan
might have been disheartened and
probably parliament would follow the
example of Congress, leaving ratifi-
cation to it's chances at the succeed
ing session.
The action of the President consid-
erably relieves the awkward situation
created here by the failure of the
Senate to endorse the agreement.
The liberal majority says that Mr..
Taft has made good for his govern
ment, the joint agreement that each
party to the bargain should use it's
best endeavors to secure legislative
approval of the reciprocity compact,
and consequently they assert the
Canadian government must compel
satisfaction by discussion of parlia-
ment.
However, the fight at Ottawa is by
no means concluded. Both sides say
the government is more than ever de-
termined to put the measure through,
but the opposion continues to show a
resolute front.
Quick action at Washington-actio
within month or so OF the cOnvenlng
of the extra session-will be neces-
sary to avoid complications. If Con,
gress has not paved the way for par
lament by ratification of the agree
ment before May 18th, when Sir Will
frid Laurier has arranged to depart
to attend the coronation in London,
or if the Canadian parliament should
continue to filibuster up to the time
of the premier's departure, it is
doubted that ratification would be at
tempted in the absence of Laurier,
who not only is the official premier,
but the recognized leader on all big
questions.
The present opposition is encour-
aged by an energetic campaign con-
Quoted by manufacturing interests op-
posed to the measure.
Space for anti-reciprocity articles is
being bought in the newspapers,
boards of trade are being sounded and
where it is found that condemnatory
resolutions will succeed, meetings are
arranged and such resolutions carried.
