CAMPAIGN CANlARDS
Where Mis-Representations Have
Been Proven False

1t has been demonstrated time and
again that to misrepresent one per-
son to help elect another, always has
| the opposite effect from the one in
tended. And even if person or pa
per has no more scruples than to state
something that is not SO on man, it
looks like, from standpoint of wis
dom, this course would not be pur-
sued However, some of the over
Jealous friends of some of the candi-
dates are carrying out such tactics,
and especially is this so at Jackson.
The most of these disreputable
shots are being fired at Vardaman, and
while of course neither Williams nor
Vardaman want their friends to mis-
represent their opponents, yet it is
being done. Ever since the Meridian
debate, false reports have been cir
culated about the governor The
Jackson Evening News was the first
to try to pretend that the governor
had said that paper and the Baptist
Association and Methodist conference
could not tell the truth about him,
when the governor only said that the
News could not tell the truth about
him, even with the aid of these two
religious organizations. And the
News only proved the statement.
"A few days after that meeting was
held in Jackson by the friends of Var
daman to organize club, and al
though none except Vardaman sup
porters yere allowed at the meeting,
thereby debarring the Jackson news
paper representatives., one OF these
papers reported that about $50 peo-
pie went to the meeting, and the
other said it was reported an atten-
dance of anywhere from $50 to 248,
and that some of these did not wait
until the end of the meeting. Here S
what the TimesDemocrat Bureau
which is not frinedly to Vardaman,
says: "At the Vardaman rally last
night there were some 400 of the
governors friends from this and
other adjoining counties. Hon. c..
NJ Williamson was chairman and
chief spokesman. The governor him
self was absent somewhere in the
northern part of the state. After the
. speaking a movement was started to
organize a Vardaman club This meet
ing was called doubtless as an an
swer to the John Sharp Williams
caucus club which was held here
several days ago The Williams cau-
Gus was composed Of about the same
number from oil over the state"
