Ex-Governor Vardaman is personal
ly known to a majority of the citizens
of this city, and in every campaign
he has made for office he has relied
to large extent upon the judgment
of Hattiesburg citizens In handling
the situation in this county.
1t is the desire of the Vardaman
supporters in Hattiesburg to organize
the largest club in the state, and this,
it is believed, will be possible, as
already a large number of citizens
have signified a willingness and a
desire to join the club and cooperate
in the work which it intends to do.
The purpose of this organization, as
briefly outlined, will be to distribute
literature touching upon every phase
of the political situation in the state,
and to show the attitude of eX-GOver-
nor Vardaman upon every public
question now before the people, An
effort will also be made to obtain and
publish the true facts of the senate
rial investigation of Senator Blbo's
bribery charges. as they are recorded
on the senate journal, large part of
which, it is stated, has been withheld
from the public by partisan newspa-
per correspondents who send out the
news from Jackson.
A campaign fund to assist Cover
nor Vardaman in making a complete
canvas of the state will also be raised
by the local club, and such other mat
ters as will come up during the cam
pain will be attended to.
An effort will be made to induce
Governor Vardaman to deliver an ad-
dress at Hattiesburg at an early date,
and on this occasion the local Varda-
man organization will make an effort
to bring large crowd of people from
other points to hear the speech.
When this organization has been
perfected, Governor Vardaman will be
requested to invite Senator Percy to
meet him here in joint debate.

ing of the testimony on the motion
to quash the indictment against L. c.
Dulaney, the Issaquena county plant
er, charged with giving bribe of
$645 to State Senator Theodore G.
Bilbo to change his vote from Varda-
man to Percy in the recent senatorial
fight, consumed the entire morning
yesterday in the Kinds county circuit
court
The motion to quash is based on
section 3017 and contends that Mr..
Dulaney is immune from prosecution
because he appeared before the state
senate and gave testimony. Farnk
Peyton, official stenographer during
the senate investigation, appeared and
furnished a typewritten copy of Du-
laney's testimony before the senate.
State Senator Engle testified as to
the character of the resolutions adopt
ed, ordering the investigation, and
the nature of the proceedings there
under.
Mr.. Dulaney was next placed on
the stand and declared that the at
tendance before the senate was not by
any contrivance or procurement on
his part; that he had nothing to do
with the ordering the investigation by
that body and had no knowledge at
the time he was summoned as a wit
ness that he was entitled to immuni-
ty under any statute; that he was re-
quested by Sergeant at Arms McDon-
nell of the senate to remain in Jack
son, and he obeyed instructions.
Why did you accept summons
to appear before the senate, knowing
you had been indicted in the circuit
court?" asked the district attorney on
cross-examination.
Il went there for the purpose of
clearing my good name of foul SLAM

State Senator Leftwich gave de-
tailed testimony as to the resolutions
adopted by the senate prior % the
taking of testimony in the invest ga.
ton. and the motives of the body, de-
claring that the proceeding was not
for the prosecution or defense of
either Bilbo or Dulaney, but to get
the exact truth of the matter and then
take such action as the truth might
justify
Arguments on the motion will be
concluded this afternoon ana the in
dications are that the indictment will
