ism. Now every one of them are in
favor of Vardamanism, which simply
means that the negro has ne right to
vote or hold any office, that we on ght
to be honest enough to tell HIM so, and
make our laws tell the truth, and thus
save the negro the batter fruits, which
in the end can mean nothing hat death,
of aspiring TO something that he can
never realize Where's the danger an
this doctrine, and where's the decent
white man does not subscribe to it
The life of the negro depends upon the
repeal of the 18th amendment and the
modification of the 14th. 1t Is Hecssa-
ry to prevent has annihilatiop, to say
nothing of the peace and happiness OF
the white folks, especially our southern
women, or ALL white women as to
that This is Gods eternal truth, writ
ten on everything, regardless OF wheth-
er there is ever another United States
Senator elected from Mississippi or not
and must be accepted by all white men,
save the fellow that would acknowledge
any kind of equality, and the peace OF
any commudity demands that such per

ready to head the crowd to make such
a n1onstrosity move to where he belongs,

Amory Times
While the Herald is opposing the e.
lection of Ex-Governor Vardaman to
the senate, it has always tried to be
fair to him, and this it intends doing
throughout the campaign.
We have had much to say about the
governors reckless handling OF the
contingent and other trust funds conf
ded to his keeping while he was COVER
nor. In this discussion we have tired
to stand by the facts and make no as
sertion not Justified by the evidence
given before the legislative investigat-
ing committee, whose report, with that
of Accountant Moore, was unanimously
adopted by the legislature.
On the second page of today s Herald
we print the testimony Of Governor
Vardaman as given in full to the inves-
committee, of how he spent
the contingent fund, and whether or
uot he complied with the law in render
ing statement of his disbursements OF
the fund. On the third page is the tes-
tin,ony of Hon J. j. Henry, ex-warden
of the penitentiary with reference to
the same matter
The Herald asks friend and foe of
Vardaman to read the evidence and
then decide for themselves whether or
not the ex-governor was culpaEiynegll-
gent in taking vouchers for his expen-
ditures and excessively extravagant in
his expenses. Warden Henry shows
that the trips made by Gov. Vardaman
On the states business cost from three
to four times as much as it did other
members of the board or contfoi. II
also shows, when compared with ac-
countant Moore's statement that for
several of these trips Gov. Vardaman
received money from both the contin-
gent and penitentiary funds. This was
not orly violation of the law, but was
double-checking or receiving pay twice
for the same work And these bills the
taxpayers Of Mississippi had to settle
And yet the ex-governor poses as the
friend ard protector of the downtrod-
den taxpayer
II looks like, in the face Of the sworn
evidence given to the investigating
committee, that the ex-governor will
not oily have torevise his code OF honor,
