question at length. His views were
about the same he advocated for the
past eight years. He quoted at length
from the recent speech of the junior
senator of Mississippi on the race
question.
Doubts the Signature.
He referred to the recent publica-
ton of the much-talked-of free pass, -
which he said had been published in
all the opposition papers of the state.
He has no recollection of having used
the pass, but if he did, it was in con-
nection with the Beauvoir Soldiers
Home.
Mr.. Vardaman said that if he signed
that name to the pass it was unlike
any signature he had ever signed;
that he had asked several bankers
familiar with his signature If they
would pay a check on that signature
and they all declared that they would
not.
The battleship funds, the governor
said, he turned over when he got
ready to the little hairless wonder,
now occupying the governors chair.
