Mommer had recovered from her

little stunt of breaking up the safe
and sane celebration at Mrs. Subur-

"Worn to a Frazzle" Is the Way it is Put By Hon.
 J. K. Vardaman.
DISCUSSES POLITICS
Recent Victory ''Presages Bette, Times and Revival of Civic
 RighteOusness.'

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 15.-Hon. ed orator of Mississippi, who lec- lures at the auditorium of the Hotel Marion tonight under the auspices of the Sons of Veterans, arrived in the city this morning, and all the fore- neon has been devoted to an inform al reception by him. He met his numerous Little Rock admirers in the travellers rest room at the hotel, front 10 until 11:30 o'clock.
 Among those who called this morn ing were Senator James P. Clarke, Attorney General Norwood, Hon. George w. Murphy, and other promin- ent citizens of Little Rock. As tte guest of Charles G. Price, J. B. Dick inson and David w. Gates. MT. Var daman was driven over the city for short time during the forenoon.
 Discussing his own chances of elec- ton in Mississippi to the United States Senate, he said, No man call tell what a day may bring forth, but I believe if the primary which is to be held next August were to be held next week, and there were 125,OOO votes boiled l would get sO,00O of them."
 He believes the people of that state are with him in his efforts to go Io the Senate. .
 Better Times and Conditions
 Discussing national politics. Govsr- nor Vardaman said: q believe the re- cent Democratic victory in this coun- try presages better times and bet ter conditions and I believe it is a re- vival of civic righteousness through out the country.
 The primary election laws adopt ed by so many southern states have had the effect of bringing the voter to understand his real power and func- tion in the government of this coun- try. It is a. responsibility that has caused him to wake up, and he is be- ginning to realize that as he votes so shall he be governed.
 To that I attribute the success of Democracy in America, together al- so with the fact that the Republican party has become party of the in- terests as against the welfare of the masses, and has been rebuked for it's abuses and wrongdoings.
 Defeat in Tennessee.
 The failure of Tennessee to elect Bob Taylor, or rather the fact that the Republicans have won in that state, is one of the incidents that mars the glory of the victory.
 Another thing,' said he, the coun- try ought to rejoice over the fact that Roosevelt and all he stands for or has ever stood for have been worn to a frazzle. There is no Question but the election of Dix in New York changes all of Teddy's political plans and illustrates his one consuming am- bition to again be President of the United States.''
 Governor Vardaman expressed the opinion that the next President would be Democrat, but he did not give expression of an opinion as to who that Democrat would probably be. He believes the country has changed from Republican to Democratic, and that the change will continue until the party has gotten control of tho Sen ate and lower house O congress, and | e1actod tbo Ds-S,dopf
