A. Kla11H & On.

| Suppose we now refer casually to the moral
phase of the question.
The Daily News will not undertake to say
that Mr.. Vardaman is the only State official
who ever rode on free railroad passes. He
| is, however, the only who has been
publicly charged and convicted of that Of
| fensc.
And to show what Mr.. Nardaman himself
| thought about that ofensc when he was a
| private citizen, quote from the Green
| wood Commonwealth OF January 3, 1902, in
which he said
There never was railroad company OF
| any other institution of the kind but what
would take every opportunity to plunder, pill
lage and rob-"
And February /, 1908, after he had
again retired to private life, Mr. Vardaman
: still OF the same mind, for he said in
The Issue:
mo man should be permitted to hold
place in the State Legislature or in the Cen
gress of the United States who carries in his
pocket railroad pass"
And few months previous, Mr.. Vardaman
quoted with cordial approval from Prof Par
sons work The Railways The Trusts,
and The People" the following:
In investigating cases of corruption, /
found in almost every instance the first step
of the legislator toward bribery was the &C.
ceptance of railroad pass"
However, we do not regard the use Of the
pass by Mr.. Vardaman on this occasion as
the most heinous offense he has committed
in connection with the incident
1t was bad enough to use the pass but TO
deny its rcprehensible.
1t a violation of the law, Of course,
and perhaps other public officials in our State
have been guilty of the same ofense. But it
not penal offense.
If Mr.. Vardaman had come forward frank.
1y and said to the people of Mississippi. yes.
my fellow citizens, it is probable that did
ride on that pass, charged. What are you
going to do about it?''
Such reply would have cost Mr.. Var
daman many votes. But instead, he hops
founders and sidesteps the issue, tells the
readers Of The Issue he don't remember"
and finally emboldened by the non production
of proof, he tries to pull off a cold bluff by
using this language in The Issue Of January
goth:
Now, 1 want to brand as UNANIMOUSLY un-
true and false, the statement or intima alton
that 1 ever accepted from the Gulf Ship
Island railroad, any other railroad in Mis-
sissippi, or elsewhere, free pass while was
Governor"
Read that carefully please, and let it
soak into your memory. 1t is broad denial,
just about broad as one could make it,
Mr.. Vardaman says that he never accepted
from any other railroad in Mississippi, or
elsewhere, a free pass while he was Cover.

Nor will it avail Mr.. Vardaman hi:
apologists to say that he saving money
for the State, by doing it for the ole
soldiers.''
The fact of the matter is that the Bcauvoi1
home had not become the property OF the
State when this pass used.
The property had been purchased from
| Mrs. Davis by the United Sons of Conicde
rate Veterans, and that organization had sub
mitted an offer to donate it to the State.
But the Legislature had adjourned the
end OF March, tie day before Mr.. Narda
man and party started on the trip Gulfport
| Furthermore, it adjourned without accept
ing the donation, and the title did not pas
| 10 the State until the legislative session OF
! 1906
| Therefore. Mr. Vardaman cannot hide be
mind the skirts of the Confederacy in this in
stance or claim that he was Saving money
appropriated for the old soldiers
The stupid inconsistency of the excuse,
planation, apology, whatever other name
you may call it, is shown by the following
| extracts:
Il do not now question the fact that trans
portation was issued by the G. & S. l. rail
road to the directors OF the soldiers home,
upon which my name appears. And 1 may
have ridden on it,
And then, in seeming forgetfulness of what
he had previously written, Mr.. Vardaman
says in another column of the same issue
Il do not believe 1 had ever seen it until
a copy of it appeared in the organ of the op-
position The fact is, the signature looks to
me like a very clever forgery. 1t is a part
of the frameup to embarrass Mr.. Vardaman
-, he
In one breath he admits that he might
have. and in the next he almost swears he
didn't.
That twaddle about forgery" is merely
another cvasive tactic, an effort implant
doubt in the minds of his followers to the
genuineness of the pass, desperate wrig
Cling to escape from the trap in which he has
been caught.
The Daily News will wager Mr.. Vardaman
one thousand dollars and leave the decision
to the cashiers of all banks in Jackson hav
ing membership in the Clearing House As
sociation, that the signature attached to Round
Trip Pass No. s64 is genuine.
The bank cashiers of Jackson are all very
familiar with Mr.. Vardaman's cognomen, and
the manner in which he writes it checks,
drafts and notes-especially the latter Sew
eral of them have already stated to the Daily
genuine.
Furthermore Mr.. Vardaman well knows
that if there is any forgery involved, he can
easily send the perpetrator thereof to the pen
Tertiary, and that the editor of the Daily
News could be promptly jailed for publication
Of criminal libel. We cheerfully assume this
visk-that word is misnomer, however, for
risk is involved"
Il will say, however" continues Mr.. Var
laman, that have never before written my
name just exactly it appears the photo
graph of the pass"
Probably so. Signatures of the most
stereotyped forms may vary slightly, espec-
tally when written in a hurry. Perhaps, by
taking pains with the task, Mr.. Vardaman
might give US better example of his chirogra-
ohy Most of us could do the same with our
signatures.

And if Mr. Vardaman, after reading the
.bove plain statements, is still inclined to
ioubt that he made that trip to Gulfport and
eturn, cite him to the following extract
the Daily News of March p, 1904,
md hereby extend to him permission to ex-
anime files in order to ascertain its
authenticity:
Governor James K. Vardaman and a party
If the Sons of Veterans who have been work
:ng in behalf of the establishment of the SOL
iier's home at Beauvoir, left yesterday over
he Gulf & Ship Island road for Gulfport
where they will make an inspection of the
property. The Legislature adjourned without
aking final action toward accepting the dona-
ton of Beauvoir, but the Sons of Veterans
determined to maintain it as home for
he needy and INDECENT veterans, securing the
frnds for this purpose by private subscrip
ion until the Legislature makes the proper
appropriation"
The above is merely current news story,
old at the time by reporter, and Mr.. Var
daman certainly cannot claim any forgery"
in connection Herewith.
But if he is still a doubling Thomas on
he subject, will refer him to another bit
of evidence of the same sort. The following
is taken from the Daily Clarion-Ledger of
Wednesday, March D. 1904, page 8. and was
written by the present editor of the Daily
News. who was at that time city editor of
the Clarion Ledger:

If Mr.. Nardaman had desired to learn the
absolute truth in connection with the origin
of the pass, prior to publishing his emphatic
denial, he could easily have done so.
His failure to make an investigation to de-
velop these facts is proof conclusive that he
is neither fair candid with the public
hoping to escape just censure by evasive tao
tics.
Merely by sending a telegram to the pas
senger department of the Gulf & Ship Island
road, Mr.. Vardaman could have obtained a
statement to how the pass was procured,
and who made application for the transporta-
ton. These were matters of official record.
The plain truth of the matter is that the
pass procured by Hon. T. NJ Henry
