COMING OUT FOR
GOVERNORSHIP
Candidates Are Announcing Two
Years Ahead OF Election
Many In Field.

Despite the Iact that the State
election is two years off candidates
are already formally announcing fol-
the Governorship, and it looks like
the State is going to have to suffer
from long drawn-out political cam
paign.
A number of aspirants for Guber-
material honors are already in the
field, and at least one of them has
formally announced.
A strong sentiment is quietly cry
stalizing throughout the State in
favor of Hon. Henry L. Whitfield,
former State Superintendent of Edu-
cation and for thirteen years presi-
dent of the Mississippi State Col
lege for Women.
While Mr. Whitfield has not COM
mitted himself one way or the other
it is known that strong pressure is
being brought to bear on him to en-
ter the race, and if he feels that
the demand from the people is strong
enough and that majority OF the
people of Mississippi want him for
their Governor, it is believed nc will
make the race.
The following news item relative to
prospective candidates for Governor
appeared in the Jackson Daily News
the past week:
Indications are that Mississippfs
next gubernatorial campaign is 20
ing to open a year or so ahead of
time, and the fight will be in full
swing before Governor Russell has
completed the first half of his four
year term.
Speaker Sennet Conner, Of the
lower house of the legislature, per-
haps the youngest man who has
ever aspired to gubernatorial hon
ors, has formally announced as
candidate, and Congressman Benja-
min Humphries, of the Third dis.
trict is expected to do so when he
delivers an address to the voters
of Scott county at Forkville on July
4th. \
Lieutenant Governor H. H. Cas-
teel has been an avowed candidate
for the governorship every since
he was elected to his present honor,
and it is generally believed that At
torney General Frank Robertson is
casting lcnging eyes on the office.
Still another prospective candidate
is Hon. L. c. Franklin, an attorney
of Clarksdale, former member Of
the state senate and who is some
what ginerally regarded as the
Russell candidate for the honor.

CHURCH BIBLE

Bible Stolen From Central Methodist
Church ArbOr On Twelfth Street

Last Sunday the Dispatch carried a
story about a big electric fan beng
A. W. o. L. from the Baraca room of
the First Baptist church.
Now, comes a story that IS even
more uncanny. The big Bible at the
Central Methodist church srbor is A.

The church is using a temporary
arbor until the new church is COM
pleted and the Bible was left on the
chancel after the service a few day
ago, and Sunday morning it was miss

The story Of the theft Of a Bible,
paradoxical as It may seem, it is
nevertheless true and the church

would bring it back.
