The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1906-08-04

with us know that this choice is our
rightfal one:
For years we have been one OF the
many champions or the present in
cumbent OF the Governors chair. 1t
was our pleasure to see our choice
for the governorship IN the last State
campaign elected, and it is now our
greatest pleasure to champion MS
candidacy for the United States SEN
ate, and we call upon those who sup
ported him for the governorshlp TO
stand by him in his race TOR the sena-
tor ship. He has been the champion
OF the common people and they Will
no doubt roll TIP big majority for
him for Senator.
As a Governor Jas. K. Val dalnar
has made good While TO err IS
human, he has witllal made one OF
the best Governors the State of Mis-
sippi has had for years. Ills pollt1-
cal opponents do not deny this. lie
has in every official act done that
which he belived best for the State,
ana he has succeeded admirably. His
naem and fame has reached out be-
yond the boundaries Of Mississippi IN
to the commonwealth of the Union
While making his race for Cover
nor he was assalled on all sides, and
! his opponents believed that he had
not the business capacity to success
| fully conduct the affairs of State. All
| this has been proven to the contrary
| He has give the people an admins
| tration fully up to the best it has ever
enjoyed, and he has gained the con-
| hdence of all by his administrative
ability. In this one point he has
made his former opponents literally
eat Zip and take back their false
claims, and no charge can be right
| fully laid against him of using his Of
| fee for any personal gain whatever.
We predict that if elected to the Unit
ed States Senate that he will add lus-
ire and glory to Mississippi, even as
he has as Governor
| OF Governor Vardamans official
career nothing can be said that would
make him ineligible to the United
State Senate. His private life has
always been such as to be a model
for all He has been and ever will
be clean in private and official lite.
| Of the candidacy and claims OF his
opponent, Congressman John Sharp
Williams, we have only this to say
Mr.. Williams has made the State a
capable Repres entative; he has made
for himself a great name by his
able work as leader of the
minority. but we claim that il
the the Senate Governor Jas
K. Vardaman can accomplish just
the same great results as Mr. Will
liams. Mr.. Vardaman will do just
as much as Mr. Williams for the
cause of Democracy, even if Mr.. Will
liams has had experience in the Re
preventative hall. Vardaman has
made good as Governor and he viii
make good as a Senator.
Both gentlemen have made good If
their respective Offices, and we are
frank to admit that it is after al
ence. But Mississippi needs Mr.. Viii
of Representatives The State of Mis-.
sippi has now the opportunity of max
ing herself National reputation ane
her people should not lose sight o.
this chance.
We have placed the name of Var
daman at our masthead because we
are anxious to see the State become
one of the foremost in National adj
vancement in the grand work fol
Democracy, and for this reason Hon
John Sharp Williams should remain
as the minority leadert in the House
of Representatives and Governor J
K. Vardaman should be advanced tc
the United States Senate where he
can accomplish as much as Mr.. Will
liams Governor Vardaman deserves
this promotion for the service he has
done Mississippi.
