enraged negroes took a small
town in South Carolina and there
is no telling what might have
happened but for the timely ar

a meeting a few. days ago said
that this is not a white mans

The dirty methods being en-
ployed to defeat Maj. Vardaman
by the daily press are beyond
the pale of decent and reputable
journalism. The past week he
spoke at Hattiesburg and the
daily papers contained glowing
accounts of the organization of a
Critz club at Hattiesburg just
after Mai. Vardaman s speech.
The papers suppressed the no
tice about the organiza tion of a
great Vardaman Club, about
Mai. Vardaman being received
by great throng at the depot
and being escorted to his hotel.
about the great reception ten
dered him and the magnificent
address he made and the enthu-
siasm it aroused. All these were
cut out deliberately with the in
tent to mislead the public and to
hurt the Major before the peo-
pie. Happily Mississippians have
learned to take their political
news which comes through the
daily press with reservation,
however, and the deliberate at
temps made to mislead and de
ceive the people will react upon
those making the attempt when
the opportunity offers.

When Mississippians talked of
disfranchising the negro, the
conservatives said it would drive
capital from the State, was
against the Federal constitution
and would precipitate a conflict,
yet it was done without any of
of these. When the separate
coach law was being considered
the same old conservatives said
it was in conflict with the FEEDER
al constitution, yet it was done.
And when Vardaman advocates
giving the poor white children of
the State equal school facilities
with the blacks, a change which
has been advocated and endorsed
by every educator of note who
has made a study of the situa-
ton, the conservatives say it can
not be done. But it must be done
to preserve white supremacy.
Vardaman is abreast with the
thinkers of the age on this ques-
tion and is the only man in Miss
issippi who has faced the issue.

The animus of the Memphis
Appeal and Morning News to-
ward Senator Money and Maj.
Vardaman is well understood by
thinking people Of Mississippi.
During the Bryan and Mckinley
campaign the Appeal came so
near supporting Mckinley and
boiling the Democratic party
that it was only the support of
the people of Mississippi, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee which kept it
in line. It was business not to
bolt. 1t is reported that Sena-
tor Money went to Memphis not
long ago and in no uncertain
terms expressed to both the
managers of these papers his
opinion of them. Maj. Varda-
man during the Bryan campaign
frequently expressed his con-
tempt. through the medium of
the Commonwealth, his own pa
per. And all this explains why
the Appeal perverts the facts as
to the figures in the recent pri-
mary and otherwise takes every
advantage of him to defeat him.
Every Vardaman man ought to
resent the injustice at the polls

portunity to express his wishes
free from the dictation of any
Office holder. Maj. Vardaman is
the representative of this idea,
and has conducted his canvass
upon this platform. He has prom
ised no individual man anything,
but has pledged himself, and
now again pledges himself to the
people, as distinguished from the
Office seekers, and if he is elected
by the people their wishes alone
will control, and he will be gov
ernor for the people, and not for
any ring of Office holders.
Maj. Vardaman alone of the
candidates voted for on August
6. appreciated the fact that there
is now pending a race issue, and
that this question, so far as the
people of the South are concern
ed, is vital one. For the peo-
pie of Mississippi to vote against
Maj. Vardaman woul d be an en-
couragement to President Roose-
velt to continue along the lines
which have precipitated this
question, and which has always
kept the white people of Missis-
sippi united and proved an effec-
tual bulwark against negro dom
nation
IF, therefore, the Democrats
of Mississippi should desire to
nominate a man for the high of
fee of governor who shall repre-
sent the ideas which resulted in
the primary election law of 1902,
and whose election will be in
keeping with the ideas of De-
mocracy from the historic days
of 1857 down to the present, to-
wit. white supremacy, then we
say Maj. James K. Vardaman |
should be voted for by them.

To the White Democrats of Missis-
sippi:

mary election have not been of

I am short from two to four cleo
toral votes of the nomination. A
very narrow margin, indeed. l

trenched horde of Federal Office
holders, aided by others IN au-
thority in the State. An un-
limited supply of money used to
subsidize the press and debauch
the voters has been employed to
compass my defeat. Vitupera-
ton, slander and malignant mis-
representation have characteriz-
ed the fight against me. But
such agencies and such methods
thank Godl-have proved of no
avail, and will not with patriotic
MIssissippians. I have made no
deals, entered into no com bina-
tions, made no promises of of
fetal favors to secure votes and

it may.
My campaign from the begin

high plane of decent politics, ad-

in my judgment were for the
good of my beloved State. [

It will be the paramount issue
in the next national campaign,
and l predict that the Democra-
cy will win enough votes from
the North on it to carry the cleo

nation agree with my judgment
of this matter.
The people of Mississippi are
much more interested in this
question than they are in the po-
litical fortune of any individual.
The measure Oyershadows the

white people of Mississippi of
Roosevelt's criminal policy of so

An Address to the People.

slpp1:
: At a meeting of the support
ers of Maj. Vardaman, held to
day in the city of Jackson, in
which sixty -four counties were
actually represented by large
and representative delegations
| it was resolved to frame an ad
dress to the Democracy of Mis-.
sissippi, giving a history of the
cam paign which ended August
3, and stating the reasons why
Maj. Vardaman should be active
ly and enthusi siastically supported
by the Democrats of Mississippi
from now until August %, and
voted for by them on that day.
About twelve months ago
Maj Vardaman commenced his
canvass for the office Of governor,
and has prosecuted the same
without the aid of any OrganiZa-
ton, without the expenditure of
single dollar except for actual
travelling expenses, and without
making a single pledge or prom
ise to any person to appoint any
one to an Office in case he should
be nominated. On the contrary,
he has repeatedly refused to
make such pledges, and has re
peatedly declared that the offices
which are appOintive by the con-
stitutiou should be filed by the
governor solely on the idea that
the good of the people should
only be consulted, and that it is
a greater wrong to purchase a
mans vote or support by the
promise of an office than it is to
purchase his vote outri ght for
an actual cash consideration
The Federal Republican ap-
pointees of the present national
administration have opposed
Maj. Vardaman, and so far as
they have been able to use any
influence. have exerted it against
him and will continue to do so in
the canvass from now until the
primary on the 9th. The same
may be said with reference to
the appointive Office holders of
the present State administration,
with a few rare exceptions.
In addition, the newspapers
and reportorial trust of the city
of Jackson, presided over by
Roosevelt's referee. have waged
a most hostile cam mpaign against
him. In the face of this OppO-
sition, Maj. Vardaman pOlled on
August 6, as against his two op-
ponents. nearly One-half of the
popular vote and received 128
electoral votes or within six of
enough votes to have given him
the nomination. A change of 70
votes in four counties would have
nominated him.
For many years the Demo
cratic voters of Mississippi have
been i'm mpatient and discontented
with the method of nominating
State officers by delegated con
ventiOns. They were impressed
with idea that local official bosses
dictated the naming of the dele
gates to State conventions. and
that these delegates so named
always nominated for State Off
GERS representatives Of the office
holding class, and consulted the
wishes of that class rather than
the people at large. This grow
ing discomfort resulted in the
passage of primary law in 1902.
and the primary election of Au-
gust 6 was the first primary
election ever held in Mississippi
at which every voter had an op-
