It was learned that Madison is as
sure for Vardaman next year as
she was in 1907 for John Sharp
Williams. In 1907 when Williams
and Vardaman ran for the senate,
Madison gave Williams $50 votes
and Vardaman 1856. Some interest
ing facts are cited in this connec-
tion by voters Of the Sharpsburg
precinct. For instance, it is stated
that at the senatorial primary in
1907, there we're Az votes cast at
the Sharpsburg precinct and it was
found when they were all counted
out Williams had received Az and
Vardaman 0--the thing was abso-
lutely solid for John Sharp.
Last winter when Senator Nc
Laurin died and the secret-ballot
caucus organized to elect his sue
cessor and the Madison county del
egation in the Legislature were
lining up with the opposition to
Vardaman. DR.. Ryan circulated a
petition in the Sharpsburg pre-
cinct, calling on the Madison dele
cation to vote for Vardaman for
senator, and every one of these AZ
Williams voters at Sharpsburg,
except one who was out of the
State at the time, signed it. This
petition, with others from other
portions of the county calling for
the election of Vardaman were sent
to Jackson to the members of the
Madison delegation, but all to no
avail. They turned deaf ear to
these appeals and continued to vote
with the common cause combine
until Percy was nominated.
Not long ago. it is declared, the
Senator from M addison, who voted
for Percy, stated in a speech in
Canton that he believed bribery
had been resorted to during the
caucus. while it is an open secret
in Madison that one of her Repre-
|sentatives was presented by Mr..
Percy after the election with a
handsome gold watch suitably en-
graved and inscribed in apprecia-
tion of the valuable services rem
dered him during the caucus, and
that near relative of the other
has been given desirable job in
the Delta through the influence Of
the common cause since the
Legislature adjourned. Other
"perquisites' are assumed.
Besides his pre-eminent fitness
and ability. these are some Of the
things that are solidifying old
Madison for Vardaman and making
her people as steadfast for the
White Chief as Gibralter and con-
signing to the political boneyard all
her present members of the Leg
isIature.

opinion would be the best thing that
ever happened for both Hamlin and

the county seat for both counties is
the ideal place as it is accessible to
the whole surrounding country and
with It's splendid railroad facilities it
makes it possible for man to come
here and attend to his business and
return home the same day. 1t is on
ly a matter Of time when Castlewood
will loose the county seat and its sup
porters might as we'll get in line for
Watertown and settle this county seat
