the next thirty days. prior to their re
turn to. the national capital to resume

next year, and already several OF
them have opposition in prospect. The
opinion generally prevails in the dele
CATION that the coming session o.
congress will be very lengthy affair
probably lasting until July, and this
will prevent them from making active
campaigns for reelection, as Missis

home to look after his fences while
congress is in session.
Since the primaries in August al
members of the delegation have beei
at home, devoting rauch of their tim'
to moving about in the country dis

est of general public interest. At the
August primary, L. c. Dulaney, OF
ssaquena county, was declared by
he Senatorial executive committee to
70 the nominee for state senator over
7. H. Keep, of Sharkey county. The
.ommittee eliminated the Sharkey
county vote, declaring Mr.. Dulaney the
nominee on the face of the returns
from Issaquena and claiming that, un-
Ter an agreement for the two counties
q alternate in the selection OF a
,enator, the voters in Sharkey had no
light to participate in the election.
Independent Candidate
Mr.. Keep agreed for the two coun-
les to alternate in the nomination OF
,enator. but denied that Sharkey coun-
" was barred from voting. The mat
er was carried before the Democratic
,tate executive committee, and that
)ody decided that IL had no Jurisuic-
ion, but adopted a resolution uphold
.ng Mr. Keep. The latter's friends
lave now decided to put his name on
he ticket as an Independent candi-
late at the election tomorrow and a
bitter fight is promised.
Mr.. Dulaney. it is recalled, is the
