VARDAMANS TRIUMPH.

The verdict of the people of the.
State of Mississippi, recorded at the
Democratic primary election held on
Tuesday, is in favor of James X.
Nardaman by over twenty thousand
majority.
It had been forecasted that Var
daman would be in the second race
With Hon. G.. H. Alexander or Sem
ator Leroy Percy, but these two
have been overwhelmed in defeat.
Vardaman's triumph is a rebuke
to coterie of politicians who have
attempted to discredit him with rid
icule, illusions and allegations which
If true should damn him forever in
the public esteem.
The campaign was conducted with
great bitterness and in the unneces-
sary indulgence in detraction and
defamation of character.
In such campaign there is left
scars and sores which may never be
healed. It is unfortunate and de-
plorable that gentlemen should ever
descend to such despisable depths in
trying to defeat a political opponent.
In all campaigning there should be
limit to abuse and villification. If
a candidate is charged with malfeas-
ance, or any misconduct or any act
which would disqualify him for Of
flee, such charge should be proven,
and if unproyen the maligners
should be held to account.
tt is conceded that in a political
campaign great latitude is permit
ted. but there should be limit at
least to the defamation of character
In Vardaman's case it is patent
that whatever was said during the
campaign in derogation of his char
acter by his opponents strengthened
him in his popularity and secured
his triumph and yindication.
In Vardaman the State of Missis-
sippi will have as a representative
in the Senate of the United States a
man who is free from the influence
on the control of what is generally
styled 'dhe interests" He will stand
for the people.

piled.

boy each attempt to occupy certain

moment results are usually disastrous
to the boy. At any rate. that Is what
happened to Mike Cesnola week aft.
er Mainard assumed his new official
position.
At first Mainard thought half of Lit
tie Italy was tumbling and piling into
his Office in the act of young riot, but
when by dexterous wedging and thrust
Ing he reached the object in their midst
and he saw the cause of the excite
ment was an injured boy he grabbed
the little unconscious form and rushed
back to the operating room with it,
where he and Tommie Wheeler, his as
sistant, commenced to investigate and
repair the sadly battered child.
That he was badly injured was un-
1eniable, Mainard regarded the case
desperate enough TO send Mike
straightway to hospital and would
have summoned the ambulance had not
Mikes uncle, well to do fruit mer-
chant, protested frantically. Hospitals
were hospitals to the Cesnoias since
Mikes father had never returned from
one after the subway cavein, where he
was hurt while shoveling dirt. In con-
sequence Mike was sent home.
HE must have nurse and the very
best attention." admonished Mainard.
"Getta di nurse, getta di nursep'
agreed the uncle literally and explo-
sively. "Salvi di Mike!''
That is why Mainard found himself

Miss Leeds, Mainard requested her
summarily, Il viii wait for you"

Your position is certainly not en-

her gray head.
"That's what I'm thinking. Any

The change was amazingly beneficial
to Mike. Recuperation commenced at
once, and in the course of few days
they had him out under the trees.
1t was mostly under the trees with
Mike where DR.. Mainard and the alias
Mary Leeds fell in love each with the
other. Mikes presence didn't inter
fere-love's language was something
years ahead of Mike.

"to ask you to marry me and also to
ask you to wait couple of years. But

tenement districts to live, and you
know I have taken the Office for that
length of timer
"Yes." Mary answered dreamily and
with a queer little smile.
MAY hope for you then?"
.'Billie," Mary Leeds said softly, 'it
we are not married In good deal
less than two years we win be at the
end of that time"
Mainard looked at her in some sur
prise Then, of all things, Mike saw
the doctor kiss the nurse!

awhile. Then the quandary was, Who
was the girl to whom Mainard was
engaged? Mainard disappeared in

| long time.

ROBS HOUSE
DURING DAY
Bold Thief Gets Two Rings
--Oak Street Place.

Under the very eyes of nurse maid
and children, an unknown man entered
the home of Harry Nelson, of 286 Oak
street, yesterday afternoon and ran
sacked the premises, taking two gold
rings valued at perhaps 500. At the
time neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Nielsen were
at home. They occupy the first floor
of the house, another family living Up
stairs.
The nurse maid was with the children
on the sidewalk in front of the house
when strange man went up to the
door, rang the bell and went inside.
The nurse thought nothing Of the mat
ter at the time thinking that the stran-
ger had called to see the people resid-
ing on the second floor.
After the course of some tIme the
girl sought to enter the house but
could not because the door had been
locked on the inside. One of the chill
dren looked in through the window and
saw the man going through the drawers
of bureau. The man shortly after,
disappeared. Later Mrs. Nelson return
ed and was told of the affair. All the
doors of the house were found to be
locked. She had one of the children
TO go in through window and open
q door. It was then discovered that
the intruder had taken the rings, over
looking In his haste several stickpins
and silver watch. One of the rings
taken was q plain gold wedding ring
and the other gold ring with brown
stone.
