to the anti-Vardaman forces it becomes
iL cumbent ON that faction to find a
third candidate for whom they can vote
without a tWinge of conscience. several
distinguished democrats have been mem
toned for the honor of measuring lances
with General Collins and with Lieuten-
ant Governor Russell but so far not
one has signified his anxiety in that
dir ection. This is due largely, it is sup
posed, to the fact that 1t is too early to
enter upon campaign, the end of which
is at least two years off. Campaigns
here are generally long drawn, but are
not supposed to run over one year,
which is bad enough.
In this connection 1t is worthy Of note
that former Governor Earl Brewer has
been Swinging around the circle a
good deal of late, making red-hot anti
Vardaman and anti-Bilbo speeches.
However, Governor Brewer has stated
time and again that he is not candi-
date for any office. He has not said,
though, that he is not going to be a
candidate, and for that reason his
friends over the state are urging and
hoping that he will consent to be the
anti-Vardaman candidate for governor.
Great pressure is being brought to bear
on the ex-governor to get in the race,
and it is well within the possibilities that
he will not be able to Withstand the
opportunities of his friends, and that he
will again agree to carry the politiea.

CANTONMENT ROAD BUILDING IN

building was completed last week in
connection with the army cantonment
near Louisville, Ky. This is one of
the few military establishments that
have built permanent roads. In 60
working days the contractor com
pleted 1880 square yards of Trinidad

Is feet wide. A mile of the road was
over fourfoot fill, and Immediately
upon its completion a traffic count
showed that 1000 vehicles passed over
it within the first hour. Most of these
vehicles were motor trucks and wag-
cns carrying loads of from one to five
tons. The record made by the Bickei
Asphalt Paving Company, the con-
tractors, is all the more remarkable
in view Of the fact that it was neces-
sary to haul and crush all the stone
used on the work.
