THE LOGICAL SENATOR.

Let the people remember in all
this miserable political bombast of
II thinks" and II believes and
"It is reported" etc from
high muck. a-mucks. that when Sem
ator A. j. McLaurin suddenly fell
under the hand of death at bis
home in Brandon. in 1909. there was
only the one conspicuous senatprial
figure left standing in Mississippi
that was and is James K Varda-
man. Hundreds and thousands Of
men who loved and were loyal to
Senator McLaurin in his political
ambitions turned to Vardaman.
For years these two giants had been
open political antagonists and al
ready were making ready for the
contest before the people for the
United States Sentorship in 1911.
Hardly had the sod covered the
grave of the lamented McLaurin,
however, ere dozen aspirants, full
of human egotism and selfishness
avowed themselves willing, yea,
anxious to wear the senatorial
toga. Some of them never had
been heard of before outside of
their own counties or districts.
In this connection it will be re-
membered that Hon. John Sharp
Williams, although urged by en-
thusiastic admirers, declined to
allow the use of his name for such
a purpose, thus leaving the field to
Vardaman, and bringing added
honor to himself.
1t remained for the lesser lights,
the wire-puilers and the political
tricksters, agents of the peoples
death and destruction, of the Leg
islature Of 1910. to bring down up
on their constituents the situation
as we have it today.
Vardaman is the legitimate and
logical successor to Hon. A. j. Nc
Laurin and remains the peoples
choice.
