yard. This shadow was the informa-
ton that the insurance companies
would not accept the repeal of the
clause referring to cotton unless the
whole blanket clause was repealed.
Now the News contends thatthere is
absolutely no truth in the matter, for
the fact that had the legislature been
called in extra session and had re-
pealed only that clause the insur-
ance companies would have gone
ahead and wrote all the blanket pol
icies they could have secured on cot

It is stated in several of the state
papers that the refusal of Attorney
General McClurg to run for governor
will help Mr.. Vardaman's chances.
Let this be as it may, the fact is that
Mr.. Vardaman is quick to form an
opinion and as quick to act after the
opinion is formed, whether his judg-
ment is faulty or not. Had he been
governor of the state when the in
surance matter was first sprung it
would have been settled at the
springing. In other words he would
have been governor-the whole
