TIDE TOWARDS VARDAMAN.
"Thcrc have been few men who
have aroused and inspired in the
hearts OF the people the respect, es-

which the people Of Mississippi have

OF the state Of Mississippi, where his
entire time was devoted to a conse-
Grated service OF the best interests OF

has been growing stronger as the days

that he will be swept into the posi-

HOW ESTIMATE PREPARED.
owe have been holding back from
making an estimate OF Governor Var
daman's strength until we could com
plete d survey Of the whole tleld ant
OF every condition In this politica
fight. We have taken up with GU
friends at every voting precinct IL
every county In the state, and re
quested them to furnish us with thei
most conservative Judgment an to TIL,
number OF votes which will be re
ceived by Governor Vardaman ant
the number OF votes which will b,
received by the opposition. In max
Ing this estimate we cautioned GU
friends that we did not want report
that would Increase our enthusiasm
that we were not seeking estimates
that would make us feel good, bu
that we wanted the best results o
their most careful examination ant
conservative Judgment, in order tina
we might know where to do the bes
work. La receiving these estimate
we have, In all cases, conceded to TIL
opposition by far larger vote thar
registered by our friends, and In tn,
case OF each precinct we have dis
counted the number Of votes for Gov
ernor Vardaman, and from the Who'll,
result we are unhesitatingly OF Tn,
opinion, and unhesitatingly say, thai
Governor Vardaman will be nomina
ted In the FIRST primary by a majority
OF not less than $4,000 votes over tn,
opposition.
