Times Plcayune:

Jackson. MISS. NOV. G1-V i.Ch
shown a statement to the effect
that he and Congressman Wither-
spoun had undertaken to organ
ize the state of Mississippi
against President Wilson IN the
coming campaign, Senator Var
daman said:
1.-The statement is false-1ust
dirty, little political lie, that's
all. There Is no doubt about
President Wilson's denomination,
il he desires it. He is the ONLY
Democrat in America. who Will
stand the slightest chance Of be-
ing elected If nominated. and L
think the prospects at this time
for his re election are good The
South will support him because
he is the Democratic nominee,
and not because of any speciai
favor the South has received at
his hands. Really,I do not think
the Southern farmer has had
square deal at the hands OF this
administration. While the Dem,
ocrats have enacted some laws
of monumental excellency, the
failure Of the general govern.
ment to help the cotton growers
of the South last fall caused them
to lose at least $40O, 900, 900. and
the failure to force Great Britain
TO take the embargo from cotton
this year will cost the cotton
growers not less than q quarter
b,ll,on dollars. But the South IS
Democratic, and the electoral
vote of the Sou. n will be given
to the nominee OF the party, even
though we are given only the
crumbs. while the other sections
receive the loaf.
1.-The Northern people have
: made a great deal Of money ou'
of the war, and the North will
support Mr.. Wilson because they
approve his policies.
Nov, my personal relations
with the President are pleasant,
so far as I know. [ admire hls
great ability ard the strength of
his wonderful personality. He
is a very remarkable man. In
fact. he has reduced ,his govern
ment to a one man government.
doubt If he ever had class at
Princeton more obedient or more
thoroughly under his control
than the Democratic members OF
the last Congress.
..Whlle admire the President
for his ability to control the Con-
gress, yet my admiration has not
caused me to obey implicitly his
d,ctations In the past. and | am
sure | will not do so IN the future.
II I approve his recommenda-
tons, I shall support them; II L
do not approve | shall oppose
them. But shall always follow
the Democratic platform. and en-
deayor to fulfill It's promises to
the people. And I might be per-
m,tted to state in this connection
