All Aboard for KoIoIa.

Tomorrow is the day. To-
morrow is the big day. From
far and near the sovereign cleo
tors from three counties will
gather at Kolola to hear the three
candidates for the exalted posi-
ton of Governor present their
claim for this responsible trust.
All three of them have accepted
the invitation to speak and the
day will hear some ringing APP
peals to the people for votes.
The time is drawing near and
this will, probably be the last OPP
pOrtunity the people Of this sec
ton will have to hear these can
didates upon the great issues of
the campaign.
Besides the candidates for Gov
ernor there will be a large num-
Der of State can didates present
to meet the people and present
their claims. 1t is understood
that Hon. Geo. T. Mitchell. of
Pontot0c, a candidate for district
attorney, will be on hand, and if
it is possible for Mr.. Barron to
get away from his court duties
at Corinth he will be present. In
addition to these many other of
the prominent men who are be-
fore the people seeking Office
will be on hand The gathering
promises to be one OF the largest
ever Witnessed in this section.
Kolola is near the lines of three
counties and the people will rep
resent Clay. Monroe and Lown-
des in the big gathering.
A big barbecue and basket
dinner will be served. Tt was
rumored some time ago, evi-

The REASON WHY.

The executive committee of
Issaquena has given its endorse
ment to the candidacy of Judge
Frank A. Critz for governor, and
it is a safe prediction to say that
their action is only a forerunner
of an overwhelming majority
for this excellent statesman in
that county's primary. And yet
some folks will say that Varda-
man has some show in the delta. "
West Point Dixie Press.
Issaquena is little county
which polls about 200 votes. In
the language of the machine"
| it is Dulaney's county. Dulaney
| in some way was mixed up ia
the penitentiary investigation at
the last session of the legisla-
ture and led the fight in the Sen
ate against it. He rents a farm
| to the State or in some way Is
connected with the State convict
system. 1t is intimated that il
Vardaman is elected there viii
be another penitentiary investi
cation which WILL BE an inves
tigatiOn. Hence Dulaney being
Issaquena' s boss, Issaquena has
instructed for Critz.

morning from a speaking tour
embracing the counties of Leake,
Monroe, Lauderdale, Choctaw,
Jasper, Calhoun, Chickasaw,

Kemper and Madison. and when
seen by your correspondent was
asked to give his opinion of the
political situation as it affected
him. He said
Il have addressed $4,000 peo-
pie in the last two weeks. With
the exception of the appointment
at Mashularville, the crowds
were large and enthusiastic and
treated me very kindly indeed.

not spoken in before, and am
more confident than ever that I
shall win in the first primary by

Major Vardaman complained
that all sorts of false reports
were being circulated through
out the State concerning him,
about first one thing and then
another; that it did not seem to
make very much difference to
the people interested in these

said:

however, and they understand
that it is all done for campaign
purposes, and that if I were not
a candidate these reports would
not be SO diligently whispered. "
He further said that all he had
to fear now was the over conf
dence of his friends that the
victory was won. if his friends
would sleep on their guns and
keep a sharp watch on the enemy.
Major Vardaman left this after
noon for another campaign tour.
He spoke at Corinth on Monday.
He looked well and was in fine
spirits, and seems to be stand
ing the labor of the campaign all
right.

No good citizen should have
trouble in telling why he is go
ing to vote for Vardaman. A
combination Of the Republican,
machine in this State made up of
all the federal appointees, post
masters in every village, mar
shals and deputy marshals and
other appointees under the lead
of Eddy Wilson, and the L40ngino
machine made up of nearly all
of his appOintees, even to his
judges, is an insOlent array of
official power and patronage or
gained to control the election of
a senator and governor. 1t is am
odiOus condition. A combina,
ton on the part of officials band
ed together for the purpose of
controlling an election, is a pOr-
trayal of official trust, debauch-
ing of the public office. 1t will
and should arouse the resent
ment of a free people. 1t is bad
enough when made up of those
holding office under a Democrat
ic administration. 1t becomes a
vile conspiracy when made up of
Democratic office holders, under
the State administration, and
Republican officials undeu the
Federal administration. 1t is an
Internal machine. =

mourns the death of the gentle,
good man who for so many years
has held the destiny of the CathO-
lie church in his keeping After
a lingering illness through which
he exhibited remarkable f0rti-

those sweet virtues of his life

away at the Vatican in Rome last
Monday afternoon at four o clock.
His death was the triumph of a
Christian life and it brings to an
end a reign the longest in the

Vardaman has made a cam
paign unparalleled in the histo-
ry of the State. He made his
own platform from the jump and
has SO impressed the people with
the sincerity of his integrity
and his scorn for political dirt
and trickery, that perfect conf
dence in his pledged word has
been secured. Wherever he has
spoken he has carried the crowds
with him. People admire man
who has the nerve to declare
that he had rather be true to his
own convictions of right and
duty than to win by evasion or
cOncealment of his intentions. 1t
is possible that Vardaman will
be the first Governor who ever
took the office without a single
promise to any friend or sup
porter that he would be remem-
bered when patronage was dis
pensed GreenYille Spirit

Critz's Doodle campaign has
gotten him into quicksand. From
every section Of the State men
are deserving him, and some OF
his leaders in East Mississippi
have changed to Vardaman. In
his own county, Clay, some of his
former old friends have gone
back on him; said they could not
stomach boodler, and are now
advocating the candidacy of Mai.
Vardaman, and it is almost GER
tain that Vardaman will carry
Clay county. This will make
solid every county in North Mis-
SiSSippi for Vardaman with one
possible exception and that is
Tunica. In East and South Mis-
sissippi Vardaman has been
stronger than all other candi-
dates combined, and in South
Mississippi there is little oppO-
sitiOn to him. The Vardaman
club at Vicksburg, which keeps
in close touch with every county

The democratic. managers talk
nonsense when they ask the peo-
pie of the first district to vote for
a democrat, new, untried and
inexperienced man for congress,
because Mr.. Hermann was in
congress for so long time that
he gained ability and experience
that enabled him to give the peo-
pie of this district better service
than any other congressman was
able to give his constituents. A
farmer or business man who has
an employe who gives him more
and better service than he is able
to secure from another, does not
dispense with such faithful ser
vice to take up new, untried
apprentice of no experience,
simply because the old hand has
worked too long and given better
service than anyone else. For
the same reason, the people of
the first district will vote for Mr..
Hermann for congress.

The Benefit OF Change.

We are like house plants: We need a
change of soil now and then-to be re-
planted. New scenes, new experiences,
new surroundings change of climatel
dry air instead of moisture, sunshine in
place OF cloud. This is sometimes es-
sentia1 to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take month or two in Cali
fornia. Plant yourself for time where
there are no irritations, where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sunny weather in
vites to walks and drives. Pure and dly
air, and the increased electric influences
of sunshine are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enjoy ride ever the scenic
Siskiyou ami Shasta mountains, which,
at this time of the year with their snow
covered peaks, are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.
