TOO MUCH MRS. BRITToN.

st. Louis, May "A woman's idea
of how major league baseball club
should be conducted is responsible, so
it is alleged today, for the war that is
said to be impending among the stock
holders of the st. Louis Club of the
National League and which is likely
to break with all the fury of a thun-
der storm when the annual meeting is
held here tomorrow.
Edward A. Steininger president of
the Cardinals, according to the gos-
sips, is dissatisfied with the super
vision of the Bresna Hens by Mrs.
Helene Hathaway Robson Britton,
who inherited large interest in the
Cardinals Hevalleges, it is reported,
that Mrs. Britton exercises too strict
a censorship on requests for money
from the treasury and that her main
motive is to make money rather than
to build up pennant winning team
that would in the end be more profit
able.
Mrs. Britton,who until six weeks ago
was. the only woman magnate in ma
jor league baseball, has the assistance,
the wiseacres declare, of Herman See

opinion in some circles that the N. O.,

erected by the New Orleans G North

venience to the travelling public.

dent.

The State Presidential Primary will
be held next Tuesday, May 7th. for
the purpose of electing delegates to go
to the National Democratic Conven
ton to be held in Baltimore June 25.
In the resolutions adopted
by the State Democratic Exc
cutive Committee there is a clause
that reads: "The voters at the polls
shall vote for his choice for President
and for his choice for delegates from
the State-at-large, voting for four dele
gates from the State at large and for
his choice for delegate from his Con
gressional district, and shall vote for
two from his Congressional District
and any and every ballet cast that does
not vote for his choice for President
and for four delegates from the State
at large and two from the Congress
sionaI District shall not be counted"
AS there are four delegates to
be elected from the State-at-arge and
ed for the positions, in order to con-
form to the resolutions adopted vot-
er is compelled to vote for his choice
for President, likewise to vote for the
four names that are printed on the
ticket for delegates at large, or else his
vote ''shall not be counted" Thus it is
that the Vardamanites and anti-Varda-
NANTES, for once in their lives will be
compelled to cast their votes for a
scratch" Vardaman's name, nor can
a Vardaman man scratch" the names
of Williams or Alexander. 80 mote it
be-" Let us have peace!
The Sixth Congressional District
is allowed two representatives. There
are five candidates to choose
from. They are Edgar G. Harris,
John R. Tally, A. w. Dent, Frank
Lewis and Jno. B. Dorsett.
Delegates are chosen according to
Congressional and Senatorial repre-
sentation. Two delegates being allow
ed for each. This gives Mississippi 20
votes in the Convention, based on the
eight congressman and two Senators.
In the Democratic National Conven-
ton there are 1,O94 votes and it takes
two thirds of the vote to make a nomi-
nation; whereas, in the Republican
Convention only a majority of votes
cast is necessary for nomination.
In the last presidential campaign
there were only three avowed candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination.
They were Bryan, Gray and Johnson.
At this time there are four. They are
Wilson, Underwood, Clark and Har-
mon. The Vice-President is usually
nominated in the Democratic Conven-
tions by acclamation.
Four years ago there were eight Re-
publican aspirants for the Presidency
They were Taft, Hughes, Cannon, Fair
banks, Knox, La Toilette, Foraker and
Roosevelt. These with the exception
of Mr.. Taft, did not mako =. ectiye
campaign for the nomtsuG'', ,
In both conventions there are al
ways few scattering votes for "fav-
orite sons" but this usually does not
last long.
