SOLDIERS TO VOTE
IN NEAR PRIMARY
Certificate of Discharge Is Sufficient
For Vote in Mississippi.

jackson, Miss, July 17.-Secre-
taIy Joseph r. Norwood, Of the
Democratic state executive commit
tee, suggests that all soldiers who
desire to participate in the Demo
cratic primaries in August, and who
are not registered or otherwise
qualified, carry with them to the
polls on election day their discharge
certificates to be exhibited to the
election judges as proof of their
right to vote.
"Ihis will prevent any likelihood
of controversies over the soldier vote"
says Secretary Norwood. "The COM
mittee has conferred full right on
discharged soldiers to participate in
the elections regardless of whether
they have registered or paid poll
taxes. By merely carrying their dis
charge certificates with them | am
confident that no soldier will meet
with refusal"
The order of the Democratic state
executive committee extending this
special privilege to soldiers is plain
and to the point.
This ruling of the state committee
probably qualities 5000 to 5000 SOL
diers who otherwise would be barred
from participation in the primaries.
Estimates to the probable size of
the vote that will be polled in the
first primary on August are much
at variance. Some political leaders,
basing their judgment on the poll
tical apathy generally prevalent over
the state, say that the toal voc will
not exceed 100000. Others say that
it will be in excess of 10000, and
feel confident that, in spite of the
decided lack of interest, the vote will
almost equal that of former political
contests.
Wednesday was the last day for
entry of candidates, and the lists are
now closed. Under a resolution of
the Democratic state executive COM
mittee it was held that candidates
had a right to enter within two weeks
of the date for the first primary.
The first primary occurs on Tues
day and the state committee will
probably be called for The following
Monday to canvass the returns and
declare the votes. County executive
committees will send results to the
office of the secretary of state.

However, American Spitfire
Deals Out Blow for Blow to
HeckIers in Her Campaign
for Her Election.

Plymouth, England, Nov. 10. =
Friends of Lady Nancy Aston believed
today her opponents were packing her
meetings" in an effort to embarrass
her in her campaign to succeed to her
husbands former seat in the house Of
commons.
Lady Nancy continued to give blow
for blow in the stormiest meetings of
her campaign last night.

heckiing was coming from supporters
OF Gay, the labor candidate, the Wis
countess last night said:
I hope you people won't put any
more insulting questions. If were
TO descend to personalities l could beat
Gay as flat as a pancake"
Warning the hecklers that they
couldn't get her, Lady Astor shouted:
Il am sight better than the other
If the men of Devon can
not get fighting men to represent them
advise them to take fighting wom-
an"
The viscountess evidently referred
to her opponents absence from the
British army during the war.

WILSON BEGINS
CONSIDERATION
next MESSAGE
Doubtful Whether President
will Be Able to Appear Per-
sonally Before Congress at
Opening Next Session.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-President Will
son has begun consideration of his
message to the regular session of con-
gress, which meets December 1, 1t was
learned at the White House today.
whether the message will be dictated
by the President or written out in long
hand depends on his condition. He is
mending rapidly but Dr. Grayson does
not want him to undertake too much,
Most of the messages to congress as
well as the notes to Germany have
been written by the President on the
typewriter in his study. 1t is unlike
ly that he will be able to write the
coming message in this way.
One other departure from the Presi-
dents usual course will be forced by
his illness. Since coming to the White
House he has appeared before Con-
gress personally at the opening Of each
regular session and read his message
but 1t is improbable that he will be
strong enough to go to congress De-
cember l.
Because of the unsettled labor condi-
tons and the doubtful state of the
peace treaty, the parts of the Presi-
dents message dealing with these two
subjects will be the last put on paper.
Railroad legislation is another mat
ter which Is now unsettled and on
which 1t is expected the President will
have something to say.

Released to Help Local En-

Money Now Expected.

Washington. Nov. 13-Approximate
~ $SOO,000,000 will be released to heir
local enterprises throughout the Unit
ed States through the crash in the
New York stock market yesterday
Government officials said here yes

no longer attracted by speculation

IN need of cash to increase building
factory additions. buy machinery and
business In general. This will gen
orally reduce prices and living costs
officials hope. Financial experts here
believe that the orgy of speculation
which has swept over the country
since the armistice is ended. The
treasury department sounded warn
ing against speculation early in the
summer. The federal reserve board
Issued a formal statement condemning
It.
DROP IN CALL MONEY.
A drop expected in call money is the
key to the situation, it is explained.
Call money Is the term used to de-
scribe loans made for an extremely
short time, sometimes for a day only,
that can be terminated on demand. In
normal times call money often was
quoted as low as per cent. For sew
eral days it has been quoted at from
IA to % per cent
Spectators in need of quick cash
negotiate call loans. The tremendous
rise in stocks and the vast amount of
sales shot call money to high rates.
This daily attracted millions in
ready cash from small banks in every
part Of the country. Instead of putting
their money in to local enterprises at
and per cent their banks piled the
cash into the New York call mark ct
at from IA to 20 per cent. The tran
sactions were made daily by telegraph.
These small banks are known as the
farmer banks" The farmer dollar"
thus helped extend the period of spec
ulation that began with the armistice
government experts pointed out.
Now they say the farmer dollar" is
going back home, sS0O,Oo0,0 900 of it to
