contemplate sheet. But you will not
do this. Your impish fingers are al.
ready too thickly furnished with graft
thing. You know. and l challenge you
to deny, receiving a telegram from
Senator James K. Vardaman, telling |
you that you were fortunate indeed to
secure a fair and impartial man like
Judge Teat to preside during the hear
ing of your case. I challenge you to
deny that Senator Wiley Sanders of
Miss, did not call you over
the phone and advise you not to file
the affidavits you had gotten from
Judge Teat's enemies here at Kosci-
usko, whose only purpose in sending
them to you was to injure him politi-
cally, and not that they didn't believe
he would give you a fair and impartial
trial. Deny that Senator Sanders didn't
tell you that he would give you a fair
and impartial trial. Deny that Sheriff
Chrismond, who was president of the
Bilbo club. in Choctaw county, didn't
wire you and tell you that Judge Teat
would do the clean thing. Deny that
you didn't get many other kilograms
and letters from people who are your
friends, advising you against making
the dirty, malicious and filthy fight that
you have made on Judge Teat. You
claim to represent the Vardaman fac
ton in Mississippi. Now l say to you
that you cannot produce one line of
commentator from him, and l chal-
lenge you to do SO. You know that not
one line has ever appeared in your con-
temptible sheet since you have had any
thing to do with it, from Senator Var
daman or any of his original supporters,
such as DR.. B. F. Ward, of Winona;
DR.. Hallam and Gen. Frank johnson,
of Jackson, and others who used to
contribute to it before it come into dis
repute through your adoption. You
know that Vardaman has never had any
respect or confidence in you since you
betrayed him in the secret caucus
by refusing to divulge the fact that
you had received bride money until af-
ter Leroy Percy was elected by the
caucus.
l showed you the letter that Senator
Vardaman wrote Governor Earl Brewer
recommending me for the position of
bank examiner, when it was thought
the Kyle bill would pass the 1912 ses-
sion. | also remember that you told me
in that conversation that you had Ross
Collins put on the commission so that
you could control his vote; that he would
vote for any one you recommended;
that you wanted your friend who had
been president of the Bilbo club at
Poplarville, to have one of these posi-
tons that you were looking out for
Bilbo just like l was looking out for
Brown. You will also recall another
conversation l tad with you before
Governor Brewer was inaugurated, and
in which you stated that you were GO
ing to use your influence to get the
Governors salary raised that you were
going to do this to humiliate old Gran
ny Noel" and that you and Brewer
would pull together and you would have
a cinch in the race for Governor next
time. You know that these statements
are true and were made at a time when
you pretended to be Earl Brewers
friend. However, l don't think you
know the meaning of the word friend
ship -because l don't think you are a
well-wisher to any one save your little
| cOntemptiblh self. l also remember in
every speech you made during the 1911
. campaign which l heard, you said that
before Gov. Noel cold Granny') re-
tired from the mansion that someone
would slip in the back door and hand
her a roll of money and come out with
pardons of John Carter of Aberdeen,
| and C. r. Smith of Columbus. Itseems
that you were lying about that. as
neither of them were pardoned by Gov
ernor Noel, but at your first opportun-
| ity to squat on the Governors stool
John Carter got his-the people of Mis-
| sissippi would like to know if you got
anything.
Now, l have said things to you and
about you that would never have beer
said had it not been for your malicious
and ~unprovoked attack upon me.
can only account for your conduct up,
on the hypothesis that you have be.
lcome so thoroughly i%rnoculated with
~graftomania that you have lost all sense
Of honor, and like the brute infected
with hydrophobia. stand ready to thrus,
your poisonous fangs into anyone who
happens to cross your path.
Regardless of how your trial may ter
inmate, whether by the technical dodge,
or by getting partisans or the jury, OF
whether the verdict be guilty a!
charged-you will find me on the firms
line endeavoring to uphold what l be
lieve to be the best interests Of Mis-
sissippi. Since you have so thoroughly
convinced me Of your perfidious infam,
in slandering gentlemen who stand 81
far above you in morality, fairness ant
in every other thing that tends to MAKE
a true man. | shall resent the cowardly
assault you made upon me, as will ais,
my friends. who knowing that you hav,
lied in this instance, will necessaril,
take it that you have been lying O
others.
| trust shat you will get the exac
and even-handed justice from the jury
you have from the Judge.
