| CHICAO. July 23-rhe wheat market was a
rather small one today. Skirmishing over a
narrow range of prices from about yester-
days closing figure near months down TO
p to x cents below Yesterdays close COM
prised the bulk of the speculative trade. Some
| little hedging sales were made as acceptances
| OF bids to the country were second largest on
! tn crop. Deferred deliveries of wheat at no
| time showed as much strength relatively as
! the near months. but this was largely due to
the lessened trading i'm the distant options.
Rains over the Canadian northwest weakened
the Winnipeg market and probably consider
ably helped the Canadian crop situation. There
was some buying Of September wheat at Bal
timore today which looked like export buying
presumably France. One house here had a
cable saying that the French crop has been
damaged 25 per cent. Russian crop news was
a little more favorable. Illinois and Indiana
sold all the cash wheat bought here today to
arrive and the loadings reported down state
promise a big run of wheat here next week.
Much skirnsh fighting in today. The
rains OF yesterday did not show at the Off
cially reporting points this morning, and there
was considerable buying back of corn sold
Yesterday. Later there were reports Of hot
winds and crop damage in Oklahoma and the
market scored some fair gains over yesterday
closing With the exception of the Oklahoma
claims the report from the corn country today
indicates a highly satisfactory condition and
we must have more damage than now seems
u obable to justify present prices.
There was further selling Of oats as hedge
against cash purchases the result being
slow response to the strength in corn. The
tendency was downward instead of upward,
spectators finding offerings of cash oats very
large.
The provision market was a very slow and
uninteresting affair. There a little selling
of September product by packers today. One
of the exporters also sold lard in the pit

Jackson last winter which made the
legislative session cost the taxpayers
of the state thousands and thousands
of dollars more THAI it would have had

erent.

as 1899 the governor of the state was
nominated by q CONVENTION where
the voice OF the people cut but little

We have the PRECEDENT all right.

patience with his political idiosyncra-
cies.
Not only did that body fail to aid him
in carrying out his promise to divide
the school fund between the races, but
it did not ever dignity his ante-election
promise by the introduction of a bill or
resolution on the subject.
In all that body composed Of 17S
members, representing every nook and
! corner of the state, there was rot one
man who was willing to make an ass
of himself by introducing a measure
to aid Vardaman in carrying out the
campaign pledge in which he declared
his ability to achieve the impossible.
And yet this grandiloquent political
| four-husher, with the facts of history
still fresh in the public mind, has the
unadulterated gall and sublimated au-
dacity to say that he carried out ev-
cry campaign promise that he made,
and left the office with a clean record.
And he adds to the insult to the in
telligence of the voters of Mississippi
by offering to publish in the little SIAN
der sheet that he edits any statement
that will show his failure to carry out
his campaign promises.
The Daily News puts these questions
souarely before Nh. Vardaman and de-
mands an answer therefor:
did you divide the school fund be
tween the races, as you promised to dc
in the ~gubernatorial campaign OF
/ 1903?
, Didn't you know when you made
that promise, that it was absolutely
impossible of accomplishment in a lega
manner :,
"Can you cite the name and furnish
: nroof that you asked any member o
n the legislature that served from l9o
a to 1908, inclusive, to introduce a bill o
resolution on the subject!

meeting his opponents in debate before

The Aberdeen Examiner is trying to
show that the last Legislature was nat
urally anti Vardaman, because John
Sharp Williams defeated Vardaman
two years ago. We are surprised at
the usually bright minded Examiner
being guilty of such an unfair com
parison. Who, for a moment, would
say that there was a mar in the recent
senatorial contest who could have Civ
en- Williams as close a race as did
Vardaman? Where is the man who
would take the position Chat besause
Vardaman could not defeat Williams
conceded to be the strongest mar
nationally in the South-that he could
not defeat any other man in the
state? Just such a theory is what the
Examiner is giving US, and it won't
hold water.
The greatest evidence possible is
that Vardaman was naturally the
choice of the last legislature, is the
fact that he ran Williams closer than
any other man in the stated could have
run him two years ago, ard every con-
gresham elected this year has beer
elected on the Vardaman platform.

friendship?
eff you elect me governor promise
you that l will divide the school fund

done and | know how to do it,"
This is your promise Mr.. Vardaman.
1t is down in black and white, words
you used seven years ago and of which
the Daily News has a stenographic
record.
You didn't fulfill that promise, and
you',knew when you made it that it
was a promise impossible of fulfill
mcnt.
Like the demagogue that you are,
and always will be, it was merely q
a catch-penny promise to get votes, tc
stir up passion and prejudice, to make
the ignorant and unthinking voters OF
Mississippi believe that you possessed
miracu, us powers, andsthat you could
accomplish things that no other man
would dare to undertake.
