SOUTH MAY AGAIN
TAKE THE RE|NS
UNIQUE SITUATION POSSIBLE IN
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
COMMITTEES ARE AFFECTED
Only Four Chairmanshlps Would Be
Retained by Republcans-Veter-
ans Say Seniority Rule viii
Hold Good Forever.

Washington.-The seniority rule, by
which heads of congressional commit
tees are chosen coupled with the Har-
ding landslide of 1920, in which nearly
every northern democrat was defeated,
would bring about an amazing situa-
tion should the democracts carry the
house in the November elections.
For the first time in history the
craftsmanship of every major commit
tee, and, with the exception of one or
two comparative unimportant ones, Of
every single house committee, would
go to the south. 1t would place the
south more completely in the saddle
in national legislation than ever be-
fore.
The seniority rule always has given
the south preponderance Of elader-
ship when the democrats win due to
the fact that the members from that
section seldom have elections fights,
thus reducing the chances of political
fatalities. However, sufficient north
ern democrats always are elected to
balance partly that condition. The
Harding landslide simply cleaned the
party from the northern and western
states out Of congress with a result
that the members who came back
must start at the foot Of the commit
ees and work up again. 1t eliminates
them as possible leaders or committee
chairmen for ten years to come as
long as the seniority rule holds. Vet
erans say the seniority rule will hold
forever.

affairs, and Sullivan of New York, Dis
trict of Columbia. All the other minor

NEWS AND VIEWS
From The
STATE CAPITAL
By F. R. BirdsaIl

The flagstaffs at the old and new
capitols have been erected, and soon
the American flag will be flying from
them, There are two at the new can.
itol, one at the senate wing and the
other at the house wing, and one at
the old capitol. None Of the flag
staffs is as tall as the buildings but
all are sufficiently high, and are made
of hollow castiron, and planted in con-
crete deep in the earth. 1t is supposed
that the object of putting a flagstaff
at either end of the new capitol is to
hoist flag when the senate or house
is in session, and to be lowered when
1t is not, as is done in Washington
with reference to congress. The flags
here will be raised and lowered daily,

Thefts of automobiles here at the

Cars are stolen in broad daylight while

most venerally stolen are Fords, but in
some instances Cadilacs have been
taken. One car was stolen in front
OF the county courthouse, another in
front Of the central public school, and
another parked on the corner of the
executive mansion grounds. 1t Ia be-.
lieved that there is an organization at
work composed of local as well as for
eign members, the latter spiriting the
cars away after they have been dis
guised.

Candidates for governor are losing
no time in getting their views before
the voters of the state. They are send
ing out attractive plate matter to the
newspapers and asking insertion at
reasonable rates, calling attention to
the fact that the expenses of a can

campaign will be heavy. With so
many candidates for governor a second
campaign seems inevitable, as it will
be impossible for any candidate to get
a majority over such large field, and
the two highest will have to run off
in second primary, entailing whirl.

already five announced candidates for

Reports from all over Mississippi
are to the effect that the people in
both the town and country are taking
great interest in community, county and
district fairs, and that the exhibits will
be very fine. This is said to be true
as to agriculture, stock, dairy pro.
ducts and poultry Many of the best
exhibits will come to the state fair
here at Jackson and go to the Ala.
bama and Mississippi fair at Meridian.
Both these fairs are expected to be
record breakers as to crowds and ex-
hibits. Jacksons centennial in honor
of the capital city's birthday will be
fittingly celebrated during the state
fair here.

Following the primaries to make
nominations for state, county and leg
lslative offices next August, will be a
primary to nominate the successor of
United States Senator Pat Harrison.
Harrison's term expires March 4, 1925.
Successors to three supreme court
judges, Etheridge, Holden and Sykes,
are also to be named. The primary
to nominate successors to arrison and
these three judges will take place in
August 1924. Sykes represents the
northern district, Ethridge the middle
district and Holden the southern dis
trict. The term of supreme court
Judge is eight years.
Visitors to Jackson state that al
ready candidates for county, beat and
legislative offices in the various coun-
ties are active. The primary for state
and county officers does not take
place until August of 1923, but official
announcements are being made all
over the state. There are 50 county
attorneys ian office created under the
Nosl administrator to be nominated
and elected next year, the salaries of
which are left to the boards of super
visors and range in the different coun-
ties from $1,000 up to $2,10O.
Now that women are eligible as
members of the legislature as we'll as
to all other offices, 1t may be we'll
since there is much talk Of women
running for the legislature, to call at
tention to the constitutional qualifica-
tions of legislators. To be eligible as
representatives one must have at
tanned the age of rs, must have been
a qualified elector of the state four
years, and an actual resident Of the
district or territory he or she may be
chosen to represent two years years
before eletcion.

Raggedy Ann sewed MT. Doodle's coat tail on again as nice as could be.

 I'm sorry that I tore your coat tail off" Raggedy Andy said.
 'Oh, please do not worry about it any more, Raggedy Andy! Mir. Doodle laughed as he passed around the soda water; for you see. the R&ggedys and their friend were sit ting around a soda water tree, and all they had to do to get a glass fuil was to turn a faucet in the trunk of the tree. Tt was all my fault, anyway" Mir. Doodle continued. For if l had not been selfish and had not tried to run away with the little boys wireless box, then you would not have torn off my coat tail"
 oh! Was it a wireless box?" Margy's Mamma asked.
 "Of course it was!" Mir. Doodle replied, Didn't you guess it7''
 If we had only known that. per- haps we could have called up Margy's Daddy by wireless and he would have told us just where he Is! Then we would not have to hunt so hard for him." said Raggedy Andy.
 "No," Mir Doodle replied. 'We could not have talked with Margy's Daddy over the wireless unless he happened to have a wireless box. toon'
 Then we had better hurry on. so that we can find Margy's Daddy" said Raggedy Ann. You know he has been lost for the longest. longest time"

 Whoever says I'm lazy will have to fight like tho Paper Dragon and foughtl' MT. Doodle cried as, he hoped from the ground.
 Raggedy Andy did not wish for Mir. Doodle to fight with Raggedy Ann and he started to roll up his sleeves to fight MT.

Now. sir, Mir Doodle!" she said as she pulled him along You march right home with mel I'm tired of having you try to get someone else to do the work all the time.
