LEFLORE COUNTY
SENDS GREETINGS
Her People Commend Her FavOrite Son
and Will Roll Up a Big Var.
daman Majority.

The following address to the vo-
ters of other counties was prepar-
ed and unanimously adopted by a
mass meeting of the Democratic
voters of Lefore county:
To the Democratic Voters of Mis-
sissippi:
Lefore County sends you a COR
dial greeting in behalf Of the can
didacy of her favorite son, Cover
nor James K. Vardaman, for the
United States Senate.
This, his home county, will give
him a solid vote, not simply be-
cause of local pride, nor because
he has made one of the fairest
and best governors the State has
ever had, but because be stands
for white supremacy and white
mans rule in all Of the United
States. i will try" be said, to
secure the repeal of the war born.
negro voting fifteenth amend
ment. /" He will do what he can
to place the government OF this
country into the hands of the great
mass of taxpaying, law.abiding,
liberty loving white people where
ever they may live. Whether it
be the Chinese or Japanese prob
lem on the Pacific slope, or the
Italian, or the negro problem IN
the South, or The Immigration
problem in the East, he will stand
for the right and power of the
Anglo-Saxon to control state and
national government.
We have found him strong and
strenuous by personal example.
by Individual character, by pen
and voice, on the right side Of ey.
cry moral question.
We believe that he will follow
the voice Of the democracy Of Mis-
sissippi as expressed III her con
stitntionaI convention Of $780,
praying the Congress Of the Unit
ed States to repeal the fifteenth
amendment and requesting our
members III Congress I'd work to
that end. We think that tie will
not care for the applause Of North

Kosciusko Herald.
His vote on the Miles salary
proposition is not only the Incl
dent that goes to show that John
S. Williams feels little venera-
ton for the memory of Jefferson
Davis or the other heroes who
fought for a principle forty odd
years ago. Forgetting nearly
everything that true Southern
man would cherish, he has for
gotten or forgiven Theodore
Roosevelt for insulting the
memory of Jefferson Davis,
traducing the motives and inn
pugning the character of the
whole Southern people. He crit
siclses Gov. Vardaman for not in
viting Roosevelt to Mississippi.
We will say in charity that Mr..
Williams has poor memory, and
has forgotten that Mr.. Roosevelt
said in his boUks and speeches:
Slavery was chiefly responsible
for the streak of coarse and bru-
tai barbarism which ran through
the Southern character. =
The moral differences be-
tween Benedict Arnold on the
one hand and Aaron Burr and
Jefferson Davis on the other is
precisely the difference that OBJ
tains between a politician who
sells his vote for money and one
who supports a bad measure in
consideration of being given
some high political position.
You brave men who went
south in the '6O's and barred your
breasts to the hostile bullets Of
the Southern outlaws and traitors
are deserving Of all the glory and
honor that can be heaped upon
you by a grateful nation =
That is the kind of man that
Mr.. Williams would hob.nob with,
but the Governor, thank good
ness, is made of different stud.

The new Penitentiary Trustees
are entitled to the endorsement
of election for the splendid show

for the first six months, as we'll
as to give them the opportunity
to carry out the policies they
have introduced,. c. G. Smith,
of Claiborne, is the candidate for
Penitentiary Trustee from this
district. and The Leader hopes to

SIurrine the "Red-Necks. .

Golfers Weekly, the New York
journal that stands prominent as a
negro lover, saw fit to send their
heavyweight correspondent, Fred
erick Palmer, to Meridian to re-
port the Williams Vardaman meet
ing, held on July 4th. The report
is Misleading from beginning to
end and has the ear marks of a
preiudiced mind against Governor
Vardaman, and upon the Cover
nor the great injustice is showed.
Even the picture of Gov. Varda-
man is made to suit the article in
which he is said to resemble a me-
gro. Mr.. Palmer says that the
only following Vardaman had was
the red neck element, or the
people from the rural districts.
This is an honor in Mississippi as
every officer is elected By the far
lmers, who are not the red necks, 4
as reported BY Mr.. Palmer, but
Hright-thinlzIng, honest and cul-
tured men, than whom no better
linen live.
Those who read the article will
remember that it appears in Col
liers' and place their own con-
lstruction as to the truth it con-
Itains. WoodyilIe Republican.

Callers Weeklv a dirty cho,

Golfers Weekly, dirty sheet
published in New York, is out in
a vile and Shiny attack on Cover
nor Vardaman, in which the
writer intimates that Governor
Vardaman himself is a mixed
breed, that he is of negro blood.
Such support is indeed unfortu-
nate for Mr.. Williams, and any
white man in the South who
could derive any pleasure from
such coWardly and filthy abuse
of Southern gentleman and the
Governor of Mississippi is so de-
PRAYED IN mind that decency is as
foreign to his nature as the
amenities of a gentleman are to
the thoughts Of a negro brute.

YOUTH AGAINST AGE.

Hartford, Nov 11.-It was youth vs old age at the Capitol park rOoler- way on Saturday night and the young giants on the Hartford team defeated the battle-scarred veterans from Pawtucket, 10 to G Cunningham. Pierce and Heffernan were star play CTS some years ago. but they are not in it now with Hart. Coggeshall and Wiley. Lincoln and Hart, the Hart ford rush line. put up a great game and did some spectacular work. Long John Wiley at center and Allie Cog geshall of the secondary defence also put up a swell game. while Suther- Ind, "The Man Behind" kicked them out with startling regularity. Hugh Rorty was the referee as there is no boycott upon him in polo. The attendance was estimated at 1900 and the big crowd was immensely pleased at the pleasing manner in which the contest terminated.
 The score: Hartford 10. Pawtucket 6: rushes. Lincoln 12. Cunningham [: stops. Sutherland 32. Heffernan 30: referee, Rorty: attendance 1.SO0.

COMING SPORTING EVENTS.
Approaching Series of Swimming
 Races Awaken Interest.

HaCeS AWaken IntereSts
 New York, Nov. 11-Barring the big football games on next Saturday, nota- bly, the one between Yale and Prince ton at New Haven, the week promises to be a dull period in the sporting world. Even metropolitan racing will be removed from the field, the season of 1907 closing at Aqueduct next Fri day, after which the thoroughbreds that have been campaigning in the east since April 15. will either be put out of training or shipped to the more con- genial winter climates of New Orleans, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
 The approaching series of swimming races have set the swimmers to work in hard preparatory training wherever there are tanks available for practice. The renewed interest taken in this sport throughout the country seems to warrant the belief that this will be the banner season for indoor aquatics. A suggestion that has caused much dis cussion is put forward by Otto Wahle, ." ldALiSdPpSi iOA IAio Metropolitan association. He suggests that the championships be divided into two classes, indoor and outdoor. His idea is for the sprints to be held in tanks and the middle and long distance races to be contested in open water, and that the winner in each event be recognized as the indoor or outdoor champion.
 A football game that is attracting great attention is that to be played at Ann Arbor next Saturday between Pennsylvania and Michigan. This also will be a hard and fast fought battle, for the Wolverenes have stronger team than that of last year, the for wards of which outweigh the Pennsyl- vanians about fifteen pounds to the man.
