TWO OPINIONS BY LEADING JOURNALS
On John Sharp Williams Bitter and III-Natur.
ed Remarks Against Governor Vardaman.

From The Gulfport Record:
Mr.. Williams may feel at liberty in
the future as he has in the past to ig-
more this overshadowing question, but
there is one thing sure and that is that
the bare majority by which he was elec-
ted will rise specter-like to haunt and
shame him.
From The Hattiesburg News:
Mr.. Williams parting shot at his op-
ponent and the seeming spirit of intol-
erance and malicious resentment which
he evinces toward the thousands of
loyal Democrats who formerly affiliated
with the Populists, and others who were
loath to concede his exclusive right for
political preferment, is in bad taste, es-
pecialiy since the motion for his election
was made by his distinguished opponent
who had good grounds for bitter
and prolonged contest. Mr.. Williams,
however, is not given to harmonizing.
His leadership in congress has been OBJ
structive rather than constructive. He
is driver, not leader. And his child
ish utterances at this time are not sur
prising to those who know the man.
