jackson, Oct. 30.-The Mississippi
hpreme Court, in a decision today,
I'D that the law limiting shipments
liquor into the state and the law
Fohibiting liquor advertising in the
ate, both enacted by the last Legis-
ture, cannot be submitted to the
eople on Nov. z, under the referen-
hm amendment, because the laws
ERE enacted before the referendum
ecame a part of Mississippi's consti-
ation. The court did not pass upon
be constitutionality of the referen-
um amendment, which also has been
ttacked.
The court simply held that, as the
wo antiliquor laws were enacted and
pproved prior to the insertion of the
lnendment by the Legislature, the
rovlsions could not apply. On this
|clnt the opinion holds:
We hold, therefore, that the initia-
pve and referendum amendment has
70 application to statutes enacted pri-
r to its insertion in the constitution;
mat chapter 1O3, laws of 1916, is in

(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 3l.--Otticial lists Of
candidates Of recognized parties for
the congressional and state elections
coincident with the presidential vot-
ing on November 7 show that there
Will be at least two women running
for Congress and more than two score
women in the contest for state Of
fees, ranging from governor down.
In Montana Jeanette Rankin is the
regular Republican nominee for Con-
gress and in Colorado Hattie X. How
ard is running on Progressive
ticket.
The Associated Press has just COM
piled all Of the state tickets from
every state in the Union and it ap-
pears from these lists that there are
exactly 46 women candidates for va
rious state Offices. This figure may
be slightly reduced or increased by the
TACT that some names which almost
certainly seem to be those of women
are in rare cases also names of men,
and 1t is possible that some women
have escaped identification by the use
Of initials instead of their full name,
but the figures given, if not precise
are interesting, since they develop the
following facts:
Of the 46 women seeking state Of
fees the majority (24) are nominees
Of the Socialist party.
Idaho is the only state in the United
States where woman is candidate |
for governor, Annie E. Triplow, being |

New Orleans, Oct. 31.-Political
news overnight did not relieve appre-
hension over the Mariana case. If
futures should advance again to-
premium over spots, then the advance
would be easier as it would remove
the weakening competition Of hedged
cotton against free holdings, which is
fully reflected in the latest spot quo
tations. Liverpool showed support to-
wards the close and bullish advices
were in circulation here and stimulat-
ed market which rallied during the
latter part of the first hour to 1S.41

considerably and March was forced up
another Is points in the SECOND hour.
A better spot demand was reported
here on the rally in futures.
