r. L. Bradley, who has made
such a thorough canvass for the
office of railroad commissioner of
the middle district, will be glad
to learn that he will be in the
second race. There was some
doubt of it for time, as two OF
his opponents, Maj. McInnis and
Mr.. Robie, claimed to be in the
lead, but the official count which
was made by the State Executive
Committee Friday showed Mr..
Bradley and Maj. MoInnis to be
the leaders, and the second race

To show how Vardaman's can
didacy is regarded in the Delta
following paragraph from letter
recently received in this city from
prominent planter Of that sec
ton is quoted; +" If Vardaman IS
elected am afraid that our Delta
country will be ruined, as the ne
groes are already beginning to
talk of moving to Arkansas and
Louisiana in the event of his be-
coming governor. For my sake
and for the sake of others please

The Columbus commercial., 1903-08-18
l PLAIN ISSUE

The first primary made the is
sue plain. There are no ming.
ling of many offices, no weaken
ing Of strong men by charging
questionable alliances. no confus
ing of sensible voters. The CEN
servatives have in the Grst pri-
mary accomplished all they ex-
pected, and all they promised the
people. They said said they
would bring the contest down 10
two men for governor. They
have succeeded. They said they
would clear the field So the con-
servatives could have square
fight with the extremist. The exc
tremists boasteJ that they would
put the leader Of the extremists,
Vardaman, i'm control OF the state
at the flrst primary. They have
failed, but they viii continue to
boast. Vardaman has already
sent forth word that his election
is only deferred a few days.
What will the people say Is
that? We feel as certain Of Judge
Critz's election On the z1.a 81
August, as that that day comes
and goes. Al The voters, or very
nearly all Of them, who voted for
Critz and Noel are conservatives,
they merely had a choice between
the two conservative candida as
for governor. Tt was well under
stood that neither OF the coD5er-
vadve candidates expected To win
il the first primary, and it IS as
well understood now that the one
to make the tight against The
dangerous iconoclazt, Vardaman,
viii easily defeat him.
All the business, planning and
labor interests Of the state viii

daman." The following Of Crisz
and Noel could not in any sense
be taken as 4 personal one O.
that born Of q play on passion.
There was nothing in their srgu-
ments and presentation Of facts
but conservatism as distinguished
from radicalism on the part Of
Vardaman.
If, therefore it becomes a ques-
ton of choice as for which one OF
the conservative candidates one
should vote, should it be Critz or
Noel, the people were divided as
to the best man, but were over
whelmingly for the conservative
principles as enunciated by them,
as is shown by the vote for Critz
which was Sc, 600 anu Noel 5000
while Vardaman only received
38, 900. Critz and Noel vote taken
together shows conclusively that
they were $4,000 persons voting
for conservatism as against S., 600
voting for Vardaman and radi-
calism.
We think it not a violent pre-
sumption to conclude therefore
that in the next primary, Critz
will assuredly receive most, ii
not all Of NoeI's vote and thereby
win.
The Columbus commercial., 1903-08-18

THE recent primary in Missis-
sippi seems to excite a great deal
of interest among the papers of
adjoining states. The Chatta-
nooga News sums the contest up
thus: The race for governor was
SO close and exciting in Mississip-
pi that neither candidate had time
to spit on his hands, much less to
cut q watermelon.

AT the same time that the
postoffice department issued an
order establishing the free de-
livery system in Columbus on
the first of September a ike or
der was promulgated authorizing
the system to be inaugurated at
Yazoo City on the same date.
but in the competitive eXamin-
alton which was held to secure a
list of eligibles from which car
riers were to have been appoint
ed there were SO many who fail
ed to pass that a second eXamin-
alton was necessary and the es-
tablishment of the system has
been postponed until the first of
November. 1t is to be hoped
that those who took the examin-
ton here were more fortunate,
and that nothing will occur to
prevent the establishment Of the
system on September first, as
contemplated.

THE FIRST pRlmARY.

The first skirmish IS over and
the signs have gone into ancient
history. OF necessity though, the
vote of the state must in a great
measure indicate the final result,
taking the first vote as evidence
of how the people think and feel
as between, not the candidates,
but their platforms, it is clearly
to an unprejudiced or unbiased
mind that they don't want Var
daman for governor.
Critz and Noel were virtually
on the same platform, while Var
daman stood alone on a self made
one which did appeal to a great
many voters, H s canvass
was what might be called a per-
sonal one, in that it appealed to
people through their prejudices,
and, it IS safe to say, he received
every vote possible for him to get
on the first primary. His platform
was a radical enc in its variance
with that Of Noel and Critz, and
we cannot conceive how anyone
voting for Noel (unless it was
done for personal reasons) can
now vote for Vardaman.
Critz and Noel represented q
platform with abso- /
luteiy nothing radical, and as
was said by Noel in his speeches,
that which differed from Var /

Ind good but mean evil.

ALL voters should bear in
mind that while in the election
which was held last Thursday
the result depended upon the
electoral vote of the various
counties, that in the second pri-
mary, which is to be held on
Thursday, August 9th, the plu-
rality vote counts, and the can
didate for governor who receives
the largest number Of votes
throughout the state will be de-
clared the nominee, SO that
Judge Critz's friends should not
neglect to vote for him on ac-
count of laboring under the false
impression that Vardaman, hav-
ing carried the county in the
first primary will carry it again
in the second, and that it will do
no good to vote. Remember
that every ballot counts, and
vote for Critz.
The Columbus commercial., 1903-08-18

FROM all indications it seems
highly probale that at the second
primary on Auguft 9th Judge
Critz will not only receive almost
the entire Noel voted but that
great many men who vote for
Vardaman in the first primary
will vote for Critz in the second.
Many of Vardaman' most en-
thusiastic supporters are to be
found among the younger class,
men who have but recently at
tanned their majority and who
have been swayed by his eloquent
language and well turned sent
ences these men after nature anb
thoughtful consideration Of the sit
uation have reached the conclus-
ion that we do want as the chief
executive of our state a man
whose principal accomplishment
is to twist the English language
in to sentences and phrases which
sound good but mean evil.

some Interesting Fleures.

A@kAA~ kA~Nt ~~ss~AetEs
"All kinds Of speculations are
being INDUCED in now by friends
Of the candidates for governor.
and it is easy enough for any
one with a vivid imagination to
elect his candidate with pen
and paper; but as rule such
estimates are not worth much.
OF course there are exceptions to
this rule, and the Clarion Ledger
believes it met with an exception
today in the person Of an old,
conservative and thoughtful eiti-
zen who has been figuring on the
probable-result of the governors s
election. He takes the po-
sition that the vote on the 9th
will be twenty per cent. less than
cast on the 9th as the United
States senators and state officers,
except governor and railroad
commissioners have been nomi-
mated and most ofthe county Of
ficers have been chosen and the
interest must therefore lag This
may or may not be true. bat the
Clarion Ledger is disposed to be-
lieve that there will be a decided
reduction in the vote for the rea-
sons above given.
The gentleman referred to re-
duces the vote Of each candidate
twenty per cent, thus:
Vardaman's vote from $500
to 30,920.
Critz's vote from 84,8O2 to 27,
442.
The Noel vote from ., ,805 to
Is, pa.
He gives Vardaman % per cent
I of the net Noel vote adding 4,561
to his 30, ,920 making his total vote
80. .481.
He givesCritz Is per cent Of the
net Noel vote adding 1868 to
his 27, ,442 which makes Hips.
Deduct this Vardaman vote Of
| t35, ,481 from the Critz vote Of Il,
125 and Critz will hove a majority
OF 5,644.
File this estimate away and look
at it after election, when the re-
suit is definitely determined. The
Clarion-Ledger does not believe
that more than % per cent OF the
Noel vote will go to Vardaman il
so much for Noel and Critz rep
resent the same conservative
ideas in contradistinction to the
extreme radical view of Yarda-
man and a vote from Noel to Critz
is to stand by the principles
enunciated by each in their plat
forms. IF men support Noel on
principle it would seem like self
qualification for them to vote for
Vardaman1 who represents views
and ideas opposed to those advo-
Gated by Noel end Critz.
The CIarion-Ledger has too
much faith in the people Of Miss
issippi to gbeIieve that any con-
siderable number of the men who
have favored and stood for con-
servative government viii go over
to Vardaman now that Noel is out
of the race. Noel and Critz are
agreed on the same prin ciples
and thonght and a vote for one Is
a vote to perpetuate the views
and opinions Of both.-Clarion-
