A list of the Democratic Nominees
to be voted on in the coming Gener
al Election to be held 10 November,
is voluntarily being published in
these columns for the guidance of
all good democrats, as there will be
opposition names placed on part OF
the ticket by other party organiza-
tions in the state. This editor par
ticipated in the Democratic Prima-
ries this summer as he has la every
primary of the democratic party
since be attained voting age, and he
expects to vote the straight demo-
cratic ticket in the general election
as he has done at every election In
which he has voted no matter how
repugnant some of the names might
have been. So we feel bound to vote
for Hubert Stephens and others on
she ticket who were not our choice
in the primaries, as they secured the
nomination, just as we would have
expected the opposi lion to have vo-
ted for Vardaman had he been NOM
mated no matter how bitter the pill
had been. That is part of the
practical play of the principle OF
maintaining party organization.

MAYFUEL A|RPLAN
 WHILE IN MOTION
:Bv the Associated Eres.,

Paris, Dec. 26. (By Mail An invention recently perfected by God frey Cabot, of Cambridge, Mass, is designed to make possible the taking up of fuel by an airplane in motion, arounsed great interest at the first congress on aerial navigation held here
 Transatlantic air travel would be greatly facilitated by this method, as stops at "airmen's islands" would not be necessary at intervals in the At Iantic ocean and airplanes would have much additional space available for passengers and mail which other wise would be taken up by fuel sui tlcient for one crossing.
 MT. Cabot thinks that transatlantic air navigation will be a paying pro- position within 15 years provided air planes do not carry fuel enough for an entire trip, With a minimum of fuel and maximum of space for mail and passengers it could be made a successful enterprise, Mir. Cabot sad. He assumed that ocean crossings would be quite ordinary occurrences within a few years.
