CRITZ A SURE WINNER.

In conversation with reporter of
the Clarion Ledger the other day,
Hon. Sylvester McLaurin, district at
torney of this the 9Th Judicial district,
said
1t is my candid opinion that Judge
Critz will be the winner, and it is
very easy to see how he will If there
is anything in the logic of figures.
"When the returns of the August
9Th primary were being received the
Vardaman men claimed that his vote
would be Increased when the returns
from the country camein. This proved
to he the case, for Vardaman did re-
ceive his strongest support from the
country.
''The total vote polled in the second
primary will be from twenty to
twenty five per cent smaller than that
of the first primary. I believe it will
drop off twenty five per cent, and the
falling off is going to occur chiefly in
the country precincts. The farmers
were principally interested in local
contests and they are not going to show
up strong on the 27th, but will leave
the matter to be decided by voters
who are more convenient to the poll
ing places. This is where Vardaman
will lose very heavily, and there is no
logic to support belief that he can
be elected

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

/ Under the above headline, the Nox-
ubes Herald, published at Macon,
takes up Major Vardamna s card to the
voters of Mississippi and proceeds to
dissect 1t in a thorough manner. A
number of other papers throughout the
state have also handled the Majors
card without gloves. The Herald says :
In his card to the voters of Mis-
sissippi, published Wednesday, Major
Vardaman urges the people to support
him in the second primary on the plea
that if he should be defeated it would
encourage ambitious negroes to aspire
to the unattainable,' which would
usesrrouble, discord and deraoraliza-
tion to follow. We are inclined to
think the Majors mortal fear of
the negro is a little too dark and
grewsome for present warrant, but
If such should be true, upon whom
would rest the blame? The race ques-
tion would never have figured in the
state campaign at all had it not been
for the Major himself. If any harm
could and should result from the dis
cussion of the question as = campaign

SENATOR McLAURIN's LETTER.

Brandon, Miss, August IA, 1908. -
Hon. Walter Sellers, Jackson, Miss. ::
Your letter is received and suppos-
ing you will be in Jackson in attend
ance on the executive committee meet
ing, l send this letter to Jackson hop
ing it will find you there. I had not
intended to say anything in the con-
test for governor, but the editorials
to which my attention has been call
ed, in which I am represented as be-
ing enlisted for Maj. Vardaman make
it necessary for me to speak not that
| arrogate any exceptional Importance
to my position; but because I have a
right to be silent in a contest like this
and If being silent my position is mis-
represented, it is permitted to me to
make such representation.
l am on amicable terms with both
of the candidates and have no personal
feeling in the choice | make, but be-
cause think the interests Of the peo-
pie of Mississippi will be better served
by the election of Judge Critz, I in
tend to vote for him in the coming
primary. Your friend.

JUDGE FRANK A. CRITZ
Prominent Men of the State Endorse the Grand
Old Statesman for Governor.

issue, Maj. Vardaman himself would
be to blame. But be that as it may,
there is question we would like to
ask the statesman from Leflore. If
his defeat would serve to create dis
cord and generalization, how would
his election affect matters? When it
is remembered that he advocates plan
that every sane citizen in the state
knows to be- a direct violation of the
constitution, what effect would his
election have on these same ambitious
negroes when once it is learned by ac-
tnal test that he has attempted an alb
solute impossibility Is it the part of
wisdom to try and fail, or had we not
far better. let present conditions alone
until we can improve on them? An
other objection to Major Vardaman's
election which we would like to men
tion in this connection is forcefully
expressed in the following lines from
an exchange that has heretofore taken
no part in the campaign:
THE greater part of the civilized
world is opposed to such principles as
Major Vardaman advocates and looks
upon them as the expression of narrow
prejudice and not at all in keeping
with the civilization of this twentieth
century; hence, desirable people from
other sections, looking for homes or
for investments, would be deferred
from casting their lot with a people
where such sentiment prevailed.
Now, if Major Vardaman is ultima
tely defeated, it will be grounds for
confidence in our broadness and pro-
gressiveness. Prejudice against any
race or condition that prompts to per-
secution will array civilization against
any people or section.
The truth is, such a discussion
as that started by Major Vardaman
has no business in a political cam
paign; most certainly should it not be
made burning issue in Mississippi
politics until some sensible plan is ad-
vocated that can result in something.
A poAiticel campaign is not the time to
discuss visionary theories people want
principles set forth that are sensible,
practicable and above all, that are
possible to put into effect. Senator
Arthur P. German never uttered truer
words than when he recently de-
clared: This race question should not
be made political issue. It is too
grave, and it is too vital. I do not
think it should be approached thus.
1t is too great proposition to be
grasped or discussed offhand. The
way it should be met is colossal SUBJ
ject for study. Certainly it will not
be solved by confusing it with poll
tics -

The grand jurors for the August

tor witnesses in regard to the sale of
whisky on the turnpike but very few
OF them could be found and only a
few were served personally, only three
or tour OF them appeared who would
not or least did not tell anything OH
which to find an indictment. We
would respectfully suggest that SUBJ
poenas be issued for witnesses return
able to the first day of court, when if
they do not appear attachments can be
issued.
We have examined the Jail and find
it safe and kept as cleanly as could be
under the circumstances.
We have examined the offices and
books Of the county officers and found
them correct SO far as we could Judge
and believe, except the books Of the
office of county superintendent.
The grand Jurors desire to express
their thanks to the court. to the. dis
trict attorney pro tenn and the officers
of court for their uniform kindness

ham and for two years has been anxious to play with the Iron Makers He work ed for the Age-Hersld at one time. and probably hls first appearance as a ball player was in an amateur contest be- tween the Age-Herald and the News.
 Of the players who participated in more than eight games he led the South ern League in batting last year, chalk ing up a percentage of .416. He was then signed by the Cleveland American League team and later went to Kansas City. When he was released by Cleve- land Nashville put in a claim for him and attempted to play him. He was or dered out of the game by President Kav- anaugh on instructions from the national board On account of some trouble he would not play with Kansas City and consequently was out of league com pany until signed by Birmingham.
 In his game at Huntsville yesterday Hill wound up his brush league career by putting the ball over left field fence for a home run.

Negotiations which have been In pro- gress for the past three weeks were brought to a close yesterday and Hugh Hill the great hitting fielder and pitcher over whom Nashville and Kansas City have been fighting, was signed by Bir- minghsm. He will report here this morning at 9 o'clock and will leave al- most immediately for Shreveport where he joins the team.
 The signing of Hill was a good piece of baseball diplomacy and was brought about through the refusal of Kansas City to let Fisher of Nashville have him at any price. The Kansas City manage ment was asked by Birmingham to set a price on Hlll and they offered to sell his release for $500. This offer was prompt ly accepted by Birmingham and after considerable negotiations through the national board the deal went through While the deal was pending Hill played On various independent teams so as not to further entangle himself.
