Nasty Situation Cleared Through
Work Of Level Headed Men
On Both Sides Of The
Question.

Immediately following the unanl'
nous committee report generating
James X. Vardaman from blame 10
the handling of the several funds IN
his charge as governor, and the adop'
by overwhelming majorities, the anti
Vardaman members sought to further
embarrass the new senator and to
bring disrepute upon the state by
fling a protest with Senator John
Sharp Williams, setting forth claims
OF irregularities, etc, with the hope
and desire Of having it inserted into
the Congressional Record. No good
could have come from such action, Of
course, and the only apparent hope
that prompted the action was to
attem pt to further embarrass Senator
Vardaman.
The circulation of the news OF this
movement tended to reopen all the
old wounds and bitterness OF the past
summer, and war OF formidable pro-
portions loomed upon the horizon,
The level headed men OF the legisla-
ture, backed and urged by Governor
Brewer, who is aligned with neither
faction, attempted to save the state
this additional humiliation, and be-
gan strenuous efforts 10 that direc-
tion. The result was meeting in
the office OF Lieutenant.Governor
Bilbo last Monday morning, when the
following peace compact was signed:
Jackson, Miss, Jan. %, 1912.
In a conference held in the lieuten-
ant-gOvernor's Office, between Speaker
Quin, Senators Sanders, OF the Twen-
ty-second Boddle and Burkitt, and
Representative Johnson, Of Coahoma,
Nicholson and Owen, it was agreed
that the memorial recently issued as
protest against the report OF the
committee on executive contingent
fund should be Withdrawn, and hence
forth, so far as we may be able to
influence the situation, factional con
troversies shall cease, and we appeal
to all patriotic members OF the legis-
lature to join hands in united en-
deavor to subserve the best interests
of Mississippi and complete the work
of this session OF the legislature at the
earliest possible moment, without
further political friction.
