\ all turn, once more, in united force
to the upbuildipg of our city. Let
n us do SO unbiased and free from all
bitterness OF prejudice.
\ Natchez Democrat, (Cri z)-Now
\ that the battle is over we will
\ quote the Southwestern: cit was
the only absolute stainless man
that ever lived who said: Judge
not, that we be not judged"
| Yazoo Sentinel, (Vardaman)-
| Now that the election is over, let
us all get down to business and
forget the political differences
that have rendered to divert our
minds from things that concern
the industrial and commercial inter-
ests of the city.
Greenville Democrat, (Critz)-It
is now the duty of all good Demo-
Gratis to support the nominee Of
the Democratic party; it is also
the duty of all good citizens to
sustain the incoming Governor in
all his efforts to maintain the su-
premacy Of the race that must be
and will be supreme, and to up
hold the law and the courts at all
times.
Meridian Star, (No choice)-
While we all could not get our
choice the democracy has given us
a governor of whom we should all
irrespective Of past differences,
feel proud. Therefore we hope
that all will accept the result in
the proper spirit, let "by cones
be by gones," and all turn our
faces to the future with renewed
efforts for democracy and the ad-
vancement of Mississippi.
jackson News, (Critz)-The
News has no bitterness over the re-
suit and does not propose to suIk
IN its tent. 1t regrets sincerely
the men for whom it fought were
not elected, but the people have
spoken and that ends the matter.
The causes that contributed to
1 bring about the results OF yester-
days election were manifold, and
there Is little use for the News to
rehash them
Meridian Press, (Critz)-The
Press charges the republican party
with this result in Mississippi. 1t
recalls the reconstruction days,
when the negro was made domi-
nant over the white man. Today
the negro is crushed by the domi-
milton of white supremacy; over.
come by outnumbering white OBJ
jectors and relegated to the rear
as never before since Lincoln S
proclamation.
u Matches Bulletin, (Vardaman)
The Vardaman men of Adams
county do not feel in the least de-
gree resentful. They only wished
to see their man chosen as COVER
nor, and worked with that end in
view, solely, allowing their oppo-
nent to do what they could for
their candidate. Let's all shake
hands aud make up. The difference
between us in this campaign should
not cause us to be mortal enemies.
Life is too short. tor anything of
the sort, and besides, personally,
none of us had any great interest
at stake.
i New Orleans States, (Vardaman)
| If he has been nominated for Cover
nor, as the press dispatches seem
to indicate, we are quite sure that
he will give Mississippi the most
brilliant and successful administra-
tion it has had in years. 1t has
been charged that Major Varda-
man is too radical in his views,
and that he lacks conservatism and
all of that sort of thing, but it is safe
to say that the official response
bllity which the Governorship will
impose upon him. will furnish the
proper check and cause him to be
| just, conservative and temperate
in the discharge of the duties of
his high and honorable office.
1 Magnolia Gazette, (Critz)-The
nomination for Governor of Major
/ Vardaman affords no surprise to
those who have studied the situa-
ton impartially. Potentinal forces
in the state and nation haye con-
tinuously conspired to aid him
since the very first announcement
