Blind Tiger Raid.


Sheriff James and Marshal
Nickles made a good catch Wed
nesdaY night, when they landed
another blind tiger in the person
of Henry Blackman, who by the
way isn't SO black in color as in
deeds. Henry, it is understood,
has been of material assistance to
the officers in catching other
blind tigers and no doubt thought
he had their suspicious of his
mis-deeds drowned. However,
he incurred the enmity of one
man too many and he was. tipped
off to the officers, who caught
him with good supply on tap
Mayor Beattie heard the evil
dence, remarked, lone Hundred

closed the book and walked out.
Henry looked haggard and hack
ed and went back to the jail.

Running Vardanan.

The friends of Percy and AZ
exander seem to be perturbed
about Senator Bilbo. They say
he lodges the Big guns at one
place and at another f'buts in. "
He does neither. for he only goes
to places where he is invited,
and besides he will be invited to
every nook and corner of every
County of the State before the
primary election in 1911.
Some of their friends go so
far as to say that if Vardaman
and his friends don't stop him
he will surely defeat him Var
daman.
This looks like Perey's and
Alexander's friends are, very
inconsistent if not insincere.
According to their theory it is
a good thing for Percy and AL
exander for Bilbo to continue to
address the people.

Ovation for Bilbo.

A political rally held Saturday
under the auspices of the Alfalfa
County Vardaman Club, at which
il was estimated that two thous-
and voters were present. The
speakers for the occasion, we're;
Senator J. L. Hebron, of Wash
Ing ton county: Representative
y. A. Dickens, of Holmes county,
and Theo. G.. Bilbo, of Poplar
vile. Wiley Sanders, State SEN
|ator from this district, presided.
and introduced the speakers.
In the forenoon Hebron and
Dickens spoke, and each received
close attention and frequent ap-
I lause.
In the afternoon the crowd re-
assembled to hear Bilbo, who
spoke for two hours from the
east door of the court house. His
speech was interrupted every
minutes by applause that was
long and loud. After he had fin
ished his speech he was carried
from the speakers platform ON
The shoulders of several of his
audience, with the balance of
the crowd bringing up the rear,
shouting and applauding. 1t can
safely be said that the crowd was
thoroughly "Bllboed. > Hon. Z.
u. Sisson was present, and upon
request, delivered an address.
Hon, Earl Brewer arrived on
the 5 p. m. train and spoke, but
we did not have an opportunity
of hearing HIM as we had to re.
turn home on the same train that
bore him.
Bilbo, to see and hear him,
will not impress anyone as being
a bad man. He made good im-
preston upon everyone who
heard him.
This was a one sided occasion,
practically all for Vardaman for
u. S. Senator.
BiIbo is out for his own de-
fence and has no national issues
to discuss, leaving that for the
aspirants for u. S. Senate.

up to you, I have fought your
battle and while beaten I return
you the commission which you
gave me unsullied. You can
wrest victory from defeat and
honor from disbonor if you will
arise IN your might and rebuke
these methods at the polls in
1911.
Your individual liberty. the
purity of the party and the very
existence of popular sovereign
try depend upon your course.
Matters have gone beyond per.
sonalities; methods. not men,
are the issues. Will you be rep
resented or misrepresented?
Will you delegate the powers
that your fathers fought for to
rotten convention. sordid, pur
chasable and venal?
Reflect upon whether you
would have as representatives
men who would carry out your
wishes regardless Of their own
personal prediction or men
who would ''embezzle the power
you had conferred upon them
and use it for their own selfish
ends.
The great problem confront
ing you is whether you will be
free men or serfs, crouching un,
der the lash of a political master
or masters. Vardaman stands
for the south, it's institutions,
popular sovereignty, purity and
independence.
Alexander and Percy stand for
the secret caucus with it's train
of attendant evils, honeyed
words, the compromise of south
.ern rights for federal approria-
tion crumbs.
Which do you want-the
choice is before you. The black
bread of freedom is sWeeter than
the luxries Of the east, purchas-
ed at the expense of the surren-
der Of even one principle.
You need q Legislature to uny
do almost all thar the last Legis.
lature has done. Their master
full appropriation and misappro-
lprlations, their creation of new
offices and aficers unnecessary
except to increase the gubernati
oral patronage to pay political
debts, has saddled the state with
debt. What are you going to
do about it?

possible to write calmnly and dis
passionately of events connected
with the late lamented secret
caucus. Seeing that Mr.. Le.,
Roy Percy, in his speech at
Lauderdale. said that the caucus
was acceptable to Vardaman and
his supporters it is impossible
for me- to longer remain silent.
Neither Varduman. nor his
supporters, except a small mi.
nority, wished a caucus.
| I positively refused to sign
the caucus call presented to me
by Mr.. Van B. Boddie. of Wash
ingtou, intuition seeming to tell
me that all was not right. I af-
terwards signed one presented
to me by Mr.. Anderson, protest.
ing that did not wish to do so.
but not wishing to jeopordize
the chances of the candidate
whom I believe to be the choice
of my people.
Ny faith in the honesty and
integrity of the members CON-
posing the Mississippi Legisla.
ture had not then been shaken.
After the supporters of Maj.
Vardaman had been tolled and
fooled into the coucus by plausi-
BILE pretexts of accelerating the
nomination in caucus before the
regular voting in the legislature
as required by law began, and
SO preventing the election of the
senator from interfering with
regular Legislative affairs, had
been consummated; came the
Gibbs resolution. Thls-resolu
ton continuing the caucus with
it's secret ballot came as shock
to practically all Of us. We
taught it bitterly aud very many
wished to Withdraw bat refrain
ed for the reason above stated. &.
We believed that there was
not enough purchasable mater
ial in the Legislature to thwart
the will of the people of Mlssis-
slppi. This proved fallacY.
In my opinion every method and
means was used to corrupt mem
hers and secure the election Of
Hon. Leroy Percy. AS for my
self, [ never missed a ballot and
voted So times for Jas.-K. Varda-
man, never attempting to con-

self and in justice to my consti-
ttuents, who are entitled to know
my every official act and my po-
sition on any and all questions.
There are no words in the En.
glish language too caustic or too

dented prostitution of honesty,
integrity and fair dealing. I
have no word of condemnation
for those who openly espoused

prompted by personal friendshi
or by their views of politacal ex.
