CAMPAIGN IS
 RENEWED WITH GREAT vIGOR


 Berlin. January 3,-The reichstag cleo ton campaign has been resumed with vjgor after an almost complete inter ruption during the holidays. The cleo lions will be held on January F.
 An observer accustomed to the heated 10 days closing of an American campaign can see few evidences of interest, and is apt to conclude that only the south Ger mans, whose elections coincide with those for the Bavarian diet are really excited over the struggle. The Germans as people, however, take politics differently As a matter of fact, interest in the cleo tions was never greater.
 The issues concern national interests of vital importance, involving as they dc finare eial legislation of large extent. the possibility of greater taxation at the com

 Mckay To Resign

Jackson, Miss, January 3.-(Special)- Governor Noel granted the following par dons today. both the fortunate men being negroes and both having been urged for pardon by the judges and district attor- neys who tried them, as well as by many private citizens and court officials. The crimes for which they were sent up was murder and their terms for life. The two men are Wash Keys of Lamar coun- ty and Ed willias of Neshoba county. The latter is an Indian-the only one in the Mississippi penitentiary.
 The penitentiary board of trustees met today, but had little business of general interest to transact, There was a lengthy discussion of a proposition to reduce the salaries of the sergeants on the IS differ ent camps and farms from $1200 to sl00d per year, but it was finally passed. up until the Text meeting, the understanding being that the present. salaries stand until changed
 At the suggestion of sergeants and guards, TWO negro convicts were recom- nended for pardons by the governor for meritorious conduct
 At the conclusion of the meeting Colonel Taylor. chairman of the board for the past two years, resigned the office and C. C. Smith was elected as his successor. They took advantage of the opportunity to throw few nice and deserved bo- quets at each other.
 It is understood that at the annual meeting of the directors of the State Fair association. Secretary J. F. Mckay will tender his resignation and that the very important office will be tendered to J. M Mcdonald. assistant secretary and manager for. the past several years.

ing session and the high cost of living.
 At radical headquarters, enthusiasm is
 displayed over the chances of success on
 these issues The radicals say that the latest reports show that the position re-
 gently assumed by the vatcaI with re- gard to modernism and the relation of the clergy to the civil courts is playing a considerable role in the strongholds of the clerical center.
 The other side points to the menace to agriculture contained in the possibility of legislation affecting agrarian protec- tion. The recent war scare seems to be playing secondary part, the bearing of which Is uncertain.
 The forecasts generally admit a gain for the socialists, who are expected to overcome the losses they sustained in the great anti-socialist landslide in 1907 and corresponding losses by the con servatives The prediction that the so- cialists will carry 100 seats is frequently heard. It is quite generally expected that the turnover will be sufficient to dethrone the present conservative ma jority and force the government to bid for additional allies in the next reichstag.

Cleveland, Ohio, January S.-(Spe-

 row will say:
 Cheerful sentiment prevails in the iron and steel trade at the opening of the new year. While naturally there has been some decrease in buying dur ing the period of holidays and inven- tory taking, all sections report that December made a most gratifying rec

 Evidences of keen competition at times, however, serve as warning not
 to expect too confidently that the com

 unfavorable conditions. For example,
 the appearance of prices about $5 below

 be very heavy.

 heavy tonnage of steel will Nbe re- quired in New York, including 10000 tons for elevated construction and at least 100000 for subway work. The subway project in Cleveland is assum- ing more definite shape and 1t seems probable that orders for from 1S.000 to 20. 900 tons of steel will be placed be- fore the end of the year Among re- cent awards were 10000 tons for the Hell Gate bridge and 2700 tons for the New York terminal work to the McClintic Marshall Construction com pany; 5000 for loft in New York city
 to an independent shop, and $500 tons for the Auerbach candy factory, New

A. C. Anderson, elected president pro tenn. of the Senate, is one of the strong young men of the state, as is proven by his record. He was born 34 years ago at Dumas, Tippah county being one of a large family which has grown to years of discretion without the loss of a single member. Reared on the farm and edu- cated in the country schools, theirs has been the simple life" Meagre as were his opportunities he has made good use of them, educating himself as best he could. but today no man in his county stands higher.
 When just 21 Mir. Anderson was elected to the legislature, and has risen steadily in the estimation of his friends and neigh bors as well as political associates at Jackson because of his sterling worth. As editor Of the Ripley Sentinel he oc- cupies a conspicuous place in state jour nalism, and it is confidently predicted he will make one of the best presiding off cers the senate has ever known.
 II. M. Quin, elected speaker of the house without opposition, is one of the brightest young law makers the state has known in years He was born in Pike county about 40 years ago. the son of a promi- nent physician. and scion of family that has always taken active and leading part in the affairs of state.

Four years ago he was elect ed to the legislature, and returned last summer for a second term, so satisfactory were his services in the first. It was by a narrow margin MT.

 For many years MT. Qun has held the office of Keeper of Records and Seal for the Knights of Pythias. and no Pythian in the land stands higher iii the councils of that great order.
