Senator Percy has character.
i1cd this as dictatoriul and auto
clatie on the part of Governor
Nardrman : political supporters
indicates "a want Of confidence

fhb, n putting II very plainly,
1lt this is the criticism that Sen
ator PcrcA makes inrcspcct 10
the differences that hr draws
from. or tic construction that hc
place, upon. oGNernor Nardaman
position IN the canvn~S before

eritleI 1n IN. that Governor Var.
daman is playing the role OF Il
political boss and that thi, poll
iry toreshadoWs ON his part a
purpose 10 boltNthc primary II
he il the unsuccessful Senatorial
candidate.
Both of these criticisms are
hnsed upon fallHcious inference
and are incorrect.
Nothing that Governor Vardn-
mIn has done or said ia his pub
iic life. indicate that he ever at
tempted the roll OF u political
boss. or political autocrMt. or
'i"iator. During his udminstra-
tiou Of the office of thp Chief
Executive Of She Stntc. with
bnndant opportunities for play
ng the part of political part
san. he administered the public
iffairs Of the State upon CONS.
'eraiions based upon the public
wrlirre of the people and of thc
State.
,'hc fact that the political sup
pOriers Of Governor Vardaman

liher hand. Governor Vardamnn'
ricnds would. a.naturally prefer

We may safely express the o.
union that the political situa-
ION in this respect. is not with
