vARDAMAN AS A CRITIC
Condemns Action of President Wilson
on Platform Pledges.

Western Newspaper Onion News Service
washington. - Senator Vardaman
criticised President Wilson for failing
to keep the pledges of the Baltimore
platform. He referred to one of the
presidents speeches in which he said
the Democratic platform was mot mo-
lasses to catch flies with"
Il trust" he added, that it will not
be out of place for me to suggest that
1t becomes the duty of the president
to see that the interests of the Ameri-
can people are not flies to be caught
with somebody else's molasses."
Declaring that he regarded a plat
form pledge as binding as the oath of
office, Senator Vardaman continued:
"The idea of any one human being,
however great in his own conceit or
wise in the estimation of others, to
imagine he has the power to absolve
himself from such a pledge. to substi-
tute some theory Of his own in place
thereof, is a heresy in political re-
ligion In the United States, which is
now being preached and practiced by
the leaders of the Democratic party
for the first time. II may be treason
to the crown, but I cannot approve IL.

trine"

New Orleans.-A majority OF the
members of the Louisiana legislature
came to New Orleans from Baton
Rouge Friday night to meet in con-
ference with Louisiana business men
and planters and ascertain what legis-
latlon is needed TO aid agriculture and
pull Louisiana out of the mire," as
one speaker put it.
Governor l.. Z. Hall. who presided.
and other speakers agreed the agri-
cultural situation in the state is bad
and that something should be done at
once to aid farmers already here and
10 get more farmers The legislators
admitted they were in Quandary as
10 what action to take when they pass
ed a resolution a few DAYS age re-
questing conference whereby they
might get suggestions and as many
Ideas as possible in order to do the
best thing to aid.
After the conference Friday night
a committee was appointed to draft
what was considered the best sug-
gestions and ideas into a set of laws
and present them TO this session of
the legislature, which will continue
five weeks more.
Governor Hall said the agricultural
condition of the state is sadly ineffi-
cient for lack of system. The keynote
OF the address was that the farmers of
the state need education even along
the more simple zines Of modern agri-
culture. Stress was laid upon the diff
ficulties of farmers in getting credit,
Vast acreage of Louisiana land here
tofore has been planted in sugar, but
this will be materially cut down this
year, because the planters say they
can not operate as successfully as be-
fore without a duty on sugar. This
situation, speakers said, has only ad-
ded to general depression in all lines
of agricultural activities in Louisiana.
