of state issue, although Major Var
daman advocated the division of the
school fund between the races, but it
is national aspecr, and the phase
which makes the white man the mas

A feeling has en- apparent in the
state that the North, led by President
Roosevelt, has persistently attempted
TO stir up sectional feeling on the
negro question.
Major Vardaman captured a much
larger percentage Of the vote cast for
Mr. Noel in the frs primary than
was expected. This was due largely
to IN attractive personality and mag

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Aug. 30 In view of the
confident claims made by the Critz
faction and the smallness of the ma
jority claimed by the Vardaman fac
tion prior to Thursday S primary, Maj.
Vardaman's splendid victory in the
governorship contest assumes almost
the proportions of landslide. His
majority will he between 5000 and
10000 when the complete reports from
the remote interior counties are re-
ceived, and this is five Thousand more
than his campaign managers hoped or
expected.
The Nardaman supporters are high
ly jubilant over the result, and a
special trt in arranged to leave the
capital CITY for Greenwood the home
OF Major Vardaman will be filled to
Overfiowipg with his friends, AMI a
big jubilation is promised. 1t is
probable that the victorious candidate
will be brought back to Jackson and
big rally held here.
The defeat of Judge Critz and the
overwhelming victory of Vardaman is
due to several causes, chief of which
was desire on the part of the people
of Mississippi to show their resent
ment of President Roosevelt's med
ding with the negro question, and
his tiagrant disregard of one of the
South's most cherished institution,
the social dividing line between the
white and black races The nergo
