WRONG VIEWS OF THE CENSUS.
No Harm can Come TO Any Person
Who Answers the Questions.

Washington, D. G., March 2.
Letters from the census super
visors to the United States Census
Bureau show the erroneous appre-
hension of a considerable element
of the population that their
answers to the enumerators' ques-
tions in the next census, beginning
April Is. this year. will cause in
creased taxation, legal entangle-
ments. or injurious consequences to-
their persons and property.
In order to quiet such unfounded
fears. which would. unless remov-
led, materially affect the accuracy
of the census, the bureau has pre-
pared an official statement relative
to the decennial census, its origin,
purpose, and uses.
This statement should furnish
complete assurance to those con-
cerned that information given the
enumerators is held BY the Census
Bureau in the strictest confidence
with reference to the identity Of
the informants. as required by the
policy of the bureau and commands
led by the law of the United States.
The bureau earnestly hopes that

HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT ITl
IFrom The issue


The letters. kilograms and tele-
phone calls that have been received
by ex-Gov. Vardaman since his de-
feat for the senate on the 22nd
inst. have been numerous. Some
have been warm in sympathy and
coincidence. and others severe in
the condemnation If those who
voted against ex-Gov. Vardaman
for the senate.
Gov. Vardaman does not share
any Of the bitterness towards the
members of the legislature express
ed by some of his friends.
He wanted to be elected, but if
the legislator saw fit to vote for
another it was his privilege and he
must settle with his constituents
for it.
Below will be found some of the
echoes from the country.
These are but a small per cent of
the number that have been receiv-
ed:

Percy Not the Choice Of the People or
a Majority Of lhe LEGISLATURE.

Mr.. Percy was not only not the
choice of the Democratic voters of
Mississippi over vardaman for the
McLaurin vacancy. but he was not
the choice Of a majority of all the
Legislature itself. At least eight
of the nine members absent on the
night of the last ballot would have
voted for Vardaman had they been
present. Of the votes actually cast
on the last ballot. two for Alex
ander were thrown out and not
counted. and one intended for Var
daman was not counted because it
was not properly marked and did
not affect the result.
Of those counted Percy had 81
and vardaman SO. Add the s alb
sent Vardaman men and the one
whose ticket was improperly mark
ed to Vardaman's 81. and it makes
