MANY CANDIDATES FOR OFFICES
WITHIN GIFT OF LEGIsLA-
TURE-NAAfES IN VIEW.

Already there are candidates galore
for the minor offices in the gift of the
state legislature and by appointment.
For clerk of the house it is understood
that L. Pink Smith, of Greenville, who
has held that lucxative place for the past
fifteen or sixteen years, will not apply
again As Smith managed Percy's cam
paign committee for him., and through
his paper, the Gre nville Denocratr pour
ed hot shot into Vardaman, and/as Var
damans friends are in the ssddle by a
large majority, Mr. Smith has concluded
discretion is the better paF of valor, this
time at least. 1t is understood that Paul
Hobbs. editor of the Pfookhaven Leader,
and one of the staupchest Vardaman men
in the state, and avery capable man, will
make the race. There NAV Lseethers, but
fhey have not fytt announced.
For clerk Of the senate, thus far, Fred
Merger is the only man announced. He
Was one of the assistants at the last
session and has had some experience.
JUST what his political affiliations arc is
noE apparent as he was out of the state
mbst of the time during the campaign.
Where is number of women after the
position of state librarian, and Miss
M attic Plunkett, who has had the place
fof twelve years is also an applicant.

the Mississippi State Fair and one of
most popular young men in the state, is
candidate for sergeane-at-arms of the
senate. He has been a very pronounced
Vardaman man and will very likely be
elected. t. H. Maxwell, clerk of the
railroad commission, will probably be
opposed by James Calceran, who is now
chief clerk and bookkeeper to the state
treasurer.
Thee is some talk in political circles
that Capt. Frank Burkitt, representative
from Chickasaw county, will be candi-
date for speaker of the house. That

the past two weeks the promise is still
good to- fair. On the bright side it is also
worthy of note that in many localities,
showers have beeE neither excessive nor
seant and the crop is extremely good.
Except in Texas and South Carolina,
but little cotton picking has been done
and the bolls are opening slowly because
of the continued growth of thl plant due
10 the rains. The boil weevils in South
ern Mississippi and Louisiana now appea

will restore much of the loss and enable

preached a sermon on conditions IN
Maine, which he knows through form
erly living there. He spoke of Maine
industries, numbering. fishing. hay and
oats growing, the great harbors, and
the banks prosperous with many de-
positors He said the young Americans
in Maine dislike the unhealthy en-
ployment Of fishing and move away,
letting the Canadians come in to do
the work. This moving in of Cana
dians he considered a reason for tenn
perance defeat. However, Mr.. Rich
ardson declared the temperance forces
had made a great fight and had moth
ing to be ashamed Of
Mr.. Richardson predicted statewide
prohibition In Maine two years hence.
He said there was little drunkenness
in Maine, except in the small coast
towns where liquor is smuggled in.
