Are Making Strong Claims For
Their Candidates - Race Between
Carter and Russell Attracting Much
Attention.

Two weeks from today the people
of Mississippi will know the result of
the state campaign which has been
actively under way for nearly a year.
While complete returns will not be
available, reports will be in hand from
sufficient number of counties to indi-
cate the general result.
Printing presses are now busy pre-
pairing the official ballots which, in
some counties, will be more than four
feet in length.
Tippah county, for instance, has 105
candidates for local offices, and at
least fifteen other counties almost
equal that record In some of the
counties, in fact, plans are being made
for two-day picnics in order to give
all the candidates opportunity to pre-
sent their claims to the voters, al
though they are generally limited to
five minute speeches.
The long list of officers to be voted
for means that returns from the rural
nreriuets will come in ahaad-~ of sthe
vote in the larger cities and towns
and the country vote will unquestion-
ably determine the result, insofar as
the race for governor is concerned.
In the larger cities there will be
small chance to get the vote tabulated
within less than eighteen hours after
polls close. The election officers are
not allowed to employ tally clerks, or
secure any form of assistance.
Second Primary Probable.
The candidates for governor have
about made UP their minds that there
will be a second primary. This may
not be publicly admitted by the sup
porters of at least one of the aspir
ants, but it is certain to happen as the

as the Savior of men: with an earnest
ness and a straightforwardness that
reached every man and woman in the
house. the speaker held the audience
from the beginning of his discourse
| to its conclusion. 1t was the greatest

that they had given their hearts into

Shipments Of Copper.

With respect to shipments Of copper.
final arrangements have not yet been
made. but 1t was learned that through
the cooperation Of the Italian embassy
here and the Italian foreign office most
copper cargoes will be free from mo-
lestation hereafter. Though the Italian
government considers that its embargo
against the expectation of copper is
sufficient guarantee in the matter, it
has decided to help American shippers
in getting their cargoes across the
Atlantic without delay by certifying
the consignments before they leave the
United States.
Under this arrangement the italian
foreign office makes an investigation Of
the business Of the consignee and the
purposes for which he seeks to use
the copper is strictly for home con-
sumption. 1t authorizes a certificate to
that effect to be issued by the Italian
embassy in Washington, which is sub
mitted to the British consul at the
port where the shipment is being
loaded.
