from Mr.. George fairfield, the pres

THROWS new Light ON
SENATORIAL CONTEST
Says Governor Wants Deadlock,
and in That Event It Is Thought
He Might Be Run in as a Dark
Morse.
By J. J. Bennett.

Jackson, Jan. 5.-The field against
Vardaman is the way the senatorial
contest looks more than week after
the death of Senator A. J. McLaurin.
That it is anything to beat varda-
man is apparent by the fact that Gov
ernor Noel, in twelve hours after the
death of the senator, had communica-
ted with seventy-five per cent of the
anti-Vardaman or of the doubtful
ranks.
1--WE must beat Vardaman," said the
governor to a friend, And he has
gone to work to do that. He will not
appoint a judge or give out any other
pie" until the contest for senator is
over. He has double object in view
the first is to defeat Vardaman by
being elected senator himself, if possi-
BILE; the other is to defeat Vardaman
at all hazards.
With several judgeships, to say
nothing of the lesser appointments
for which members of the legislature
are counting him, the governor holds
the whip hand. Vardaman declares
''he is serene" John Sharp Williams
defeated him 624 votes only.
Personally, Vardaman is strong
with the legislature.
his disregard for form in the appoint
ment of Colonel James Gordon. There
is no doubt that majority of the
members would rather vote for Var
daman than any other man for sena-
tor, but when you ask them about the
judgeship or some other office to be
filled by the governor, the wise mem
ber' initiates the oyster.
