The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-02-26

State would rebuke the Legislature
and its methods, once they got the
matter to the polls. The Leglsla-
ture had defeated the peoples
choice" " but there is hereafter.
and it was to be war to the knife
from this time on against an un-
holy alliance.
Representative A. c. Anderson.
of Tippah, was the next speaker.
He declared he had done all in his
power to elect the Peoples
Choice" to the Senate, but this Leg
islature failed to give them what
they wanted. and what they would
have once they came to vote their
will. The gag rule adopted by the
Legislature was not endorsed by the
people of the State, and they would
rebuke it in due time, as truth
crushed to earth would rise again.
He had nothing to say against
the man elected, but against the
methods of his election.
Representative II. N. Quin,
of Kinds county, was next present.
! ed. He said he had been told that
he was misrepresenting Kinds
county in the Legislature in voting
for Vardaman, but he was satisfied.
He had not voted to beat any man,
but to elect the man he thought
best qualified for the Senatorship.
He told of how he had asked the
caucus to repudiate the secret bal
lot method, but it had refused, and
those responsible for that refusal
must bear the consequences.
Representative II. F. BrOyIes,
of Monroe, said the meeting here
in Jackson was the opening gun of
the campaign for the Senate two
years hence. He believed action
taken here would swell and 60 out
over the State like the waves
created by the dropping of a pebble
in pool of water. The people of
the State would make no mistake
in following the white Chief. /"
He admitted that the fight was
going to be- no baby play: The
man who had come down to Jack
son and captured the Senatorship
was a smooth politician and it
would take hard work to defeat
him.
Representative E. D. Cavett,
OF Noxubee, declared the faithful
seventy there on the platform had
met their Appomattox, just as Lee
did, but they were not whipped

Senator-elect Percy will leave for
Washington next week. Senator
Gordon delivered his valedictory to
the Senate on Wednesday and start
ed home.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-02-26

They say that Percy will have
all the campaign money he needs
in next years campaign against
vardaman. Well, one man spent
s35, 900 or $4,000 Of his own money
running against Vardaman for
Governor and was beaten before
the people, and that same man was
candidate for Senator and went
out Of the caucus with three votes.

White Man Charged with 500 Theft.

Will Perritt, a young white
man who was jailed here Thursday
afternoon by Policeman Mcbride,
charged with stealing money and
property from Mr.. E. H. Graves.
-of Lawrence county, to the amount
of $100, was carried to Monticello
yesterday morning. Mr.. Graves
having been advised of Perritt' :
arrest came to Brookhaven Thurs
day night and had the necessary
papers issued and left with the
young man for Monticello. where
he will be given a preliminary
trial.

A great ovation was given to
Senator-elect Percy By his home
people on bis arrival at Greenviiie
last night.

In love q mans interest in the
game is always deeper than his In
ferest III the girl.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-02-26

A newspaper report says that
$4,000 was subscribed for the
Percy senatorial campaign fund for
1911 in the lobby of the Edwards.
House the night he was nominated
by the secret ballot caucus and that
forty or one hundred thousand dol
lars can be raised if needed. Of
course it can. But John D Rookie
feller hasn't got money enough to
elect Mr.. Percy Senator by the
votes of the honest incorruptible
masses of Mississippi since they
were ignored and treated with the
contempt they were by the recent
secret caucus methods at Jackson
that placed Percy in McLaurin's s
seat.

Mr.. WALSH HOME AGAIN
ARRIVES WITH FAMILY FROM
TEXAS ON SPECIAL TRAIN.
Financier Apparently Improved in
Health, and Walks From Train
Shed to His Automobile.

Thomas F. Walsh, who has been fol
several weeks at San Antonio. Tex, in
search OF health returned to washington
this morning reaching the Union station
IN his special train at 8 O'clock. He was
met at the station by T. A. Wickersham
his confidential business agent in Wash
inxton, and, with the members OF his
family who accomp anied him on the trip
went Immediately to his home in Massa-
chusetts avenue northwest.
Probably the best answC to the great
variety of rumors which have been cir
culated regarding the alleged seriousness
of Mr. Walsfs condition was contained
in a statement made by Mr.. Wickershan
this afternoon. Mr.. Walsh was able to
walk from the train at the station to the
waiting automobile and again from the
automobile, without assistance, UP the
steps Of his home.' Mr.. Wickersham
said 'I know that he is sick man,
but he is in no greater immediate danger
than l am. He is suffering from q form
of neuralgia at the back of his neck, and
while this causes him some trouble and
loss of sleep occasionally, 1t is not q thing
that kills. I think Mr.. Walsh looks even
better than he did when he left Wash
ington a number of weeks ago to 60 to
Palm Beach,"
Mrs. Walsh, who was with her husband
on the journey to Palm Beach and later
to Texas, as we'll as Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward 3. Mclean. the son-in-law and
daughter, returned to Washington with
him. The only other occupants of the
special train were the physicians and
nurses. The physicians. Dr. George

attendance upon Mr.. Walsh.
According to the flnancier's present
plans he will remain in Washington as
long as the weather Is pleasant, and for
probably the Adirondacks or the heights
Of the Blue Ridge at or near Asheville.

WILL ATTACK TARIFF
Insurgent Senators Encour-
aged by Election of Foss.
WILL URGE A COMMISSION
observations on the Payne-Aldrich
Act Will Be Made Before the
Adjournment of Congress.

Encouraged by the result of the cleo
ton of a democrat in a rock-ribbed re-
publican congressional district in Mas
sachusetts on the issue OF the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, it is being predicted
today. insurgent senators will shortly re-
open the tariff fight in the upper house.
The excurse for the outlet of their
opinions as to the schedules of the new
tariff law will be the bill for the creation
of a tariff commission. This bill was
introduced at the session devoted entirely
to the tariff discussion, was referred to
the finance committee and has been re-
posing there since.
Although none OF the insurgent sena-
tors at the Capitol today would commit
themselves SO far as to say that they
would positively make speeches attack
ing the present tariff law while urging
the creation of tariff commission that
will investigate future needs for tariff
reform, 1t was predicted by insurgents
that such speeches would be made within
the next few weeks.
An Insurgents Prediction.
1T is a safe prediction" said one Of
the leading insurgents this afternoon,
that this session Of Congress will not
adjourn before some observations have
been submitted on the tariff law. That
has been the general understanding for
some time
The insurgents do not expect any ac-
ton on the part of the Senate leaders
looking to the passage Of bill for q
tariff commission that will investigate
the need for future tariff reform, or for
the giving of such powers to the tar1n
board created by the Payne-Aldrich law
Several Of those who are on the outs
with the Senate leaders, SO far as their
opinion of legislation goes, are In favor
Of such measure. and hope to see IT
enacted at the present session.
Belief of Insurgents.
With the result of the Massachusetts,
election as an example of public dis
approval OF the new tariff law, several
of the insurgents believe their arguments
for the establishment of a tariff COM
mission will have great weight with many
members of the Senate: and they are in
tent upon pressing their advantage at
this opportune time.
Those same senators who fought many
provisions Of the Payne-Aldrich law are
expected to be active in the reopening OF
the tariff question in the Senate. they
are Senators Dolliver and Cummins of
Iowa, La Toilette of Wisconsin, Clapp OF
Minnesota, Bristow of Kansas and Bev-
eridge of Indiana.
