saying that Russell and Johnston will

it's support in the following.
I'm the run-off Johnston will GO
fully 80 per cent OF the votes cast
for Longino and Collins in the first
primary, which will easily nominate
him by good majority over Russell.
"While the Daily Commonwealth
vigorously supported Ex-Governor

the nomination, and regret his defeat,
we are now equally as anxious for
Oscar Johnston to be elected over Lee

MISSISSIPPI TO HAVE
SPECIAL SESSION Of
LEGISLATURE SEPT
Governor Biibo Announces He Will
Issue Call For September-To
Consider Female Suffrage
RAISE FUNDS FOR THE MAINTE-
NANCE OF INSTITUTIONS
And To Get After the Profiteers-
Governor Says Two Weeks
Session Plenty Long.

A press telegram from Jackson last
night says Governor Bilbo will call
the Mississippi Legislature to meet IN
special session some time during
September, the exact date not yet de-
termined.
This announcement was made by
the Governor yesterday morning, but
it will be several days before the call
is issued, not until after the second
primary, it is understood. Explain
ing the reasons why he was going to
assemble the lawmakers Governor
Bilbo said, in substance:
primarily to provide funds for the
support and maintenance of the sew
eral state institutions. By the 1st Of
October most of them will have ex-
hausted their appropriations, and
they cannot be permitted to suspend
operations a single day. They can
not run on credit, and there is no way
Of borrowing the money that is neces-
sary.
"Next in Importance comes the
matter of profiteering. | am going
to call the attention of the legislature
to this species of robbery and ask
them to find a remedy and provide
punishment that will be sufficiently
severe to put a stop to it. The fed
eral government has authorized its
agents here in Mississippi to make an
investigatio OF the charges of pro-
fiteering, and the State should render
all possible assistance.
I am also going to submit the Su
san B. Anthony amendment as to wo-
mans suffrage, the sooner We settle
that the better, and there may be 9TH
or matters demanding attention, but
| do not think the lawmaking body
need be in session more than two
weeks. If they attend to the few
matters to which l direct their atten-
ton and adjourn, two weeks will be
plenty of time, but should they
branch off on resolutions, investiga-
tions and other matters permitted
without the approval of the govern
or and which can wait until the regu
!ef session just as well as not, there is
no telling how long they will be here
