JAMES K. VARDAMAN
Accepted the Verdict of the Majority
With Commensurate Grace--Ts a Big
ger Man Than Williams

The Monroe Star. referring to the
United States senatorial nomination III
Mississippi recently. speaking of Gov
ernor Eardaman says:
Against James X. Nardaman all the
vile and uncharitable campaign lies that
could be told by thoughtless partisans
were started, and every known means
adopted to prejudice sentiment against
him, but he made an open, fearless CAM
paign on a high plane i'll the face of big
odds. against possibly the strongest man
in the South, and came very near being
successful Such a defeat as he met
leaves no sting behind The magnificent
vote he received IS a positive and direct
answer to the flood OF vituperation set in
motion by those who know nothing of
the man. and who have been guided
solely by what others have said and
few remarks which would no doubt have
been better left unSpoken. But the SOW
ereign people. those who know and ap-
preciate the man and are not led aStray
by prejudice and misrepresentation,
stood by him nobly and have proven to
the world that James K N'ardaman IS
man among men, They know his public
and private life. and know that he has
made a splendid chief executive and a
defender OF the faith of the grand old
Democratic party He has dared, i'll the
face of tremendous opposition. to ex-
press his views and declare his inten
tons. no matter what the opposition
thought and said Such man can not
be dismayed or chagrined at defeat His
energies have been expended in defense
of the weak and oppressed. His views
on the negro question are well known,
yet when lynching seemed probable he
was the first to send protection and even
go himself and see that the poorest and
most depraved negro was protected, no
matter what his prsonal opinions were
concerning the matter
shown ability of no mean order and has
managed affairs admirably. Men of the
Vardaman stripe ar9rare' and are not
to be dismayed by a~slngle defeat. He
accepted the verdict with commendable
grace and proved by his words that he
realized his superiority over his oppo
nent- If such proof was needed, it was
given by Mr.. Williams himself when he
in petty, peevish statement, grudging-
ly thanked the people for his election.
He did not measure up to the big heart
ed forgiving man who went to defeat
like a true knight.
We make this prediction: James K.
Vardaman. if he will accept. will be
nominated and elected at the next con-
gressional election, and he will later be
elected to the United
States Senate by the proi,d and gallant
people of Mississippi. Such men can not
be kept down; they rise superior to all
obstacles. and one defeat for them is
but stepping stone to higher and no.
bier deeds. John Sharp Williams defeat
ed Vardaman by the narrowest margin
any public men ever went into Office on,
but he does not out-rank this noble, true
knight of brave people, fighting for
principle that is eternal and overshad-
owing in its Importance.
