Major Vardaman is heard from
in every part of the state, and the
tribute paid his eloquence and
courtly demeanor by the press and
people is justly deserved, for as an
orator who can get close to the
sympathy of his audience he
stands without a peer. Unfortu-
nately, however, the brilliant and
gallant son of Lefore is charged
with being visionary, impracti-
cal and revolutionary in his ideas
of government, and the conserva-
tive and thinking element in Mis-
sissippi is not favorable to his
candidacy.-Gulf Coast Progress.
The esteemed editor of the Pro-
gress is chasing the people of
Mississippi a little bit early in the
game when he writes of the ICON
sentative and thinking element in
Mississippi is not favorable TO his
cy." Everywhere you may
go you will find the best citizens,
citizens who are thinkers as well
as doors, advocating the Majors
policies and working in his behalf.
The editor of the Progress ought
to @ to Vicksburg. for one exam
pie, and see the number of 'revo-
Iutionary" tbutons that are so
much in evidence there and take
all out of himself.

MISSISSIPPI PRESS ASSOCIATION.

AT meeting OF the joint commit
fees of the Mississippi and Louisiana
Press Associations in New Orleans on
the 10th of February it was decided to
have the associations meet in that
city Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
dav, May 5th, 9Th, and It'll. II mas
since been learned that on those days
the National Medical Association Will
meet in New Orleans, with an attend
ance of 1000, and that because OF TINS
il has been deemed best by the New
Orleans people TO change the meeting
of the press associations TO May llth
and 10th. The program as now being
arranged is TO meet Monday and Tues
day, May 18th and 18th, leaving
New Orleans at 6 a. M, Wednesday,
9Th, for a visit TO the salt mines OF
Louisiana and the rice belt, spending
the night in Crowley: Thursday, l4th'
visit San Antonio and Beaumont
Texas, returning to New Orleans Fri
day night, 18th. The trip out OF
New Orleans will be made on a spe-
cial train over the Southern Pacific
in sleeping cars.
These arrangements are now being
made and as soon as they are definite
ly decided upon they will be ar
bounced by circulars to the members
of the two associations. To use the
sleepers slight expense will be In
CURED, which each member who
takes advantage of the trips will be
expected to pay. The Southern Pa
cific will furnish the train. From APP
pearances it promises to be one OF the
most delightful. outings in the history
of the associations. - Yazoo City

The levee board of the distric

The levee board of the district
and it's employees are fully alert to
the danger of our levees. While
they have the utmost confidence
in them, still there is not rumo1
ahoat that comes to their ears but
what they investigate and an ex-
animation of the levees is made at
once. Such diligence deserves the
thanks of the whole people and
they can rest assured they have
the peoples confidence and will
ingness to respond at minute s
warming to any call they should
make on them for their services.

Governor Longino has done no
more honor to the state than the state
has done to him. He now seeks high
er honors and, crediting himself with
the states achievements of the past
three years, desires that the debt be
cancelled by advancing him to the
seat in the United States senate now
occupied by Senator Money; man
who all through these years has stood
on the floor Of the Senate laboring for
the advancement of Mississippi, de-
Tending her people and proclaiming to
the world the advantages which she
possesses. The question for the peo-
pie to determine is, shall Senator
Money be displaced that Gov. Longi-
no may be doubly rewarded for his SER
vices? Will the people tolerate the
manipulations of a caucus arrange
ment, or heed the dictum of a piolti-
cal combine that is not of their max
ing? Will they accept the ticket
thus proposed, or will they smash the
slate MERIDIAN Press.

We print elsewhere the card OF
Gov. Longino announcing himself
candidate for the United States
senate to succeed Senator Money.
The governor will go before the
people with a clean and highly
commendable record, and as Col.
Money has served several terms he
will probably retire voluntarily, as
his greater predecessor did when
his health prevented his giving
strict attention to his duties in the
senate. -Sardis Reporter.
These sly hints about Senator
Moneys health are calculated to
discourage votes for him but there
is no reason for any such calamity
as the senator's retiring al
present, and we earnestly hope
that he will be retained in the sen.
ate by the p atri o t c vote Of
Mississippi.

POLITICAL CHAT.

Will the warmest friends of Mr.. Fox
in West Point deny that they were
greatly surprised when his announce.
ment came from Washington that he
would enter the race for governor, and
did not some of them discourage his
candidacy? Before announcing did
not Mr.. Fox remark that if he an
nounced there would be no question
of his election? Did not he then hold
conference at the Lawrence House
in Jackson, return to Washington and
from there send back his announce
ment? What bearing did the jackson
conference have on Mr. Fox's candi-
pacy? These are mere questions, not
charges. Meridian Press. XII

Major Vardaman addressed one Of
the largest audiences ever assembled
at the court house yesterday afternoon
in the interest of his candidacy for
governor. He made one of the best
campaign speeches that it has been
the pleasure of our people to hear in
many day. Mr.. Vardaman has a
large number Of admirers in this
county and doubtless made many more
by his mastery effort, and manner in
which he presented his claims to the
people. Mr.. Vardaman spoke for
nearly two hours, and was given
close and courteous attention. We
regret that time and space prevent our
giving him more extended notice.

Some of our citizens claim they
are in favor of paving the streets
but not willing to vote the bonds
for some of the present council
men to manipulate. We refer
these gentlemen to the proceed
ings of the council meeting last
Tuesday night, wherein the may
or's resolution appears, calling up
on the Young Mems Business
League of the city, to appoint a
comittee of five to act with the
council in the whole matter. THIS
should satisfy all and everybody
should go to the polls on the first
day of April and vote for the
bonds.

The silent vote Of Is or more
citizens who attended the meet

degree depends the future progress
and prosperity of our little city.

The governor has returned from
the Delta, convinced that the
levees are in fine condition and
the engineers believe they will
hold. -" Had he not discontinued
his Herald he need not have taken
the trip to find this out, and what
a ninny he made of himself when
he proclaimed 'the levees must
break today or tomorrow. Or
perhaps the referee and the syndi-
cate will now claim they would
have broken, had not Longy gone
to the scene of action and saved
the day. Vicksburg Herald.
We don't think the governor
was as deeply interested in the le-
wees as he appeared for as far as
we know he never made a trip to
Huntington, which is only few
hours ride and at the time was
considered the most dangerous
point. In fact, we don't even be-
lieve he went to the river. 1t may
be true he discussed the situation
with the levee board officials but
he could have done that from
Jackson over the long distance
phone. No, we think that if the
fact we're known, it was something
besides levees that brought the
governor over, and if the Herald
will keep its ear to the ground it
will hear about it before another
overflow

Governor Longino, in reference to
his senatorial candidacy, the Clarion
Ledger publishes d column and half
of newspaper extracts, consisting of
editorials from the Natcehz Democrat,

may be others but we have not noted
them. We publish few extracts

SO bitter in their antagonism, among
them one from the Natchez Bulletin.

will hardly be cast aside for man

of the best citizens of the city in

much like the report of the three

self as candidate for the U. S. SEN
ate to succeed Senator Money. 1t has
been public talk for long time that
the governor would be in the race, but
not until last week did he authorize
the statement. He has been uniform
ly successful in his political aspira-
tions heretofore, but this is the place
where the governor meets an obstacle
which will be hard to surmount. Sen
ator Money has not only a splendid
record in office but, is one of the
shrewdest and most effective cam
paigners in the state. He will make
an active canvass as soon as his pub
lie duties permit him to leave Wash
