POLITICS.

1t is authoritatively reported that the strongest effort will be made
in Noxubee county, and in fact, all over the state, to line up every
Vardaman man. Against the fact that a candidate is not asupporter
of Vardaman no high qualifications for the office he seeks, no moral
worth, no record for ability or public service, no friendship or per
sonal relations are to weigh a n iota. The interest of the district, of
the county, of the state, is not to he considered. The supposed in
terest of Mr.. Vardaman is to override a mans duty to his neghbors,
his family, his friends and his state.
If the election of Mr.. vardaman depended upon the election of his
friends to all the offices to be filled at the election some plausible rea-
son could be found for the proposed alignment. But az the people at
the polls are to settle themselves the election of a senator, no reason
at once honest and sensible can be advanced in its support. 1t IS not
too much to say that only distempered imagination and a distorted
mental condition IN find justification for such a cOu.se of action. 1t
is hardly too much to say that a citizen who in performing his most
important civic duty is controlled by such considerations is either too
lacking in sense o II in patriotism to be allowed to vote.
A great deal too much has been said about the ignorance Of the
Vardaman supporters. Any sensible man can look around him and
see that the opposition has no monopoly OF the good sense, intelli-
gence or patriotism of the people of Mississippi. It is, in fact, a for
tunate thing for the state that s. much moral worth and intelligence
orot To he found on each side in the division 10Y existent. But it is
too true that Vardaman himself and many of his active partisans
have persistently appealed to and imposed upon the ignorace of that
norton of Mssissippis electorate who ar ignorant. And never be-
fore has this fact been so plainly betrayed as in this effort to subor-
dinate all district, county and state interests, and all personal and
local interests to a merely possible advantage to himself. The force
of sefshness could no further go.
Some effort has been made to ascertain how much favor the pro
posed alignment would find in this county. Several Of the closet and
most active friends Of Mr.. Vardaman, gentlemen who have substan-
tally aided him in his canvas and are of prominence in county affairs
have been talked with and they utterly repudiate and condemn the
proposition. 1t is not supposed that any considerable number of
men al be found in NOxubee who will disregard their duty to. and
regard for other things and other persons, for the sake of an imag-
med advantage to one candidate for senator. Some sense of duty
some sense of the proportion of things and some loyalty to their
friends and their county will operate to produce an election here in
which merit and fitness and other proper considerations will have
proper weight, and candidates will receive that support to which
their own qualifications entitle them.

PROMISES.

In his speeches over the state
Mai. Nardaman expresses entire
satisfaction with the record he
made in regard to a certain cam
paign pledge, made in his race tol
governor eight years ago and his
subsequent failure to fulfill that
pledge after the election. This
only emphasizes the fact that some
people are mighty easily satisfied
with themselves. But as a matter
of fact ought the major to be sat
isfied in regard to this unfultilled
pledge? Let us consider the mat
ter a moment.
1t will easily be recalled to mind
that in the campaign of eight
years ago Maj. Vardaman made
the division of the school funds ac-
cording to the amount of taxes
paid by each race his paramount
campaign issue. Into every county
and almost every voting precinct
in the state he went, prOclalmlng
the evils of negro education and
prophesying disaster dark and
direful unless the present methods
Of dividing the school fund were
radically changed. When his OPP
pOnents declared his scheme to be
impossible of tulfillment, he spoke
dramatically of how Senator George
had accomplished the seemingly
impossible and let many a dear
sovereign voter" to believe that
the spirit of the immortal George
was rei~ucarnated, clad in SpotleSS
raiment of white and crowned with
long and flowing locks. On that
issue the major was elected and i
ever there was a time when a man
was duty bound to do everything
in his power to fulfill the mission
the people oil his state had intruSt.
ed him with, that time was wher
Gov. Nardaman entered into his
term of office. 1t was verify the
time of the "Man, the Hour anG
the Opportunity" Yet what die
Gov. Nardaman dos
Well, we know first of all that
when Gov. Nardaman went into
office the school fund was shared
alike by both races, and when he
went out of office the same condi
tions e prevailing. This very
fact should of itself have been SUI
fcient to mortify any man with
high gense of the responsibilities

it did get him a job, but thank
God the people T on to your
curves this time, Maj. Vardaman.
He claims that under no circum-
stances would he deal in person
alities in a political campaign, yet
he refers to his distinguished op-
ponents as gadfies and tadpoles
and fills his personal organ every
week with the bittereSt attacks
upon both of them. One o0mmu

regard for his WI good name.
But not SO the major. The doughty
major admits that he failed. bu
declares that it was not because
he did not made the attempt, and
submits in extenuatiOn the fact
that IN his message to the legisla-
ture he urged the necessity of this
reform, and so the major is salts
fled. Now we readily admit that
such an effort was better than No
effort at all, but that is about all
that can be said in defence of it.
Granting that the major did
make the school fund question the
subject of a certain portion of his
general messages to the legislature.
is 1T possible that that was all that
he could do? Was that all that he
intended to do if elected, when he
was canvassing the state from end
to end making that question his
supreme campaign issue? Did he
ever ask a single friend of his in
either branch of the legislature to
introduce such a bill? Did he ever
send a single special message to
the body urging the necessity of
such a measure? Failing in the
first session of the legislature, did
he publish an address to the peo-
pie who had commissioned him.
telling them of his futile efforts
and urging them to use their in
Huence with the various members
OF that body that something might
be accomplished in the succeeding
session? Did he ever throw his
arms about a single member and
ask him for Goods sake, old man,
help me out in this that I may
render an account of my steward
ship to the people who have en-
trusted to me this misSiOn?'' Is it
possible that in a body of that size
he couldn't find a solitary friend
to Introduce such a bill in the en-
tire four years of his term of of
flee? If not, why not! Some of
those members we're his warmest
friends. Why did they not come
to his rescue in his hour of need if
he really asked them to do so?
And if he didn't ask them, why
didn't he! We think we know
the answer. Simply because the
major knew it couldn't be done,
Just as his opponents had told
him during the campaign, and
just as his present opponents are
telling him about another issue
fully as impossible, and because
his most ardent friends knew it
would be worse than folly to at
tempt 1t. And yet the major ex-
presses entire satisfaction with the
