We must admit that we are very
much surprised and disappointed over
the fact that Senator Vareaman is and
has been out of the line with the demo-
cratic majority in congress as well as
with President Wilson practically since
the inauguration. If the President has
done anything that has met with the an
proval of the junior senator from Mis-.
slsslppi, we have failed to note that
fact. The senator's latest and most
serious blunder is his desertion of the
Democratic party in it's fight for the
ship purchase bill Vardaman has
aligned himself with the boiling Demo-
cratic senators, who, by the assistance
given the Republican opposition, are
likely to bring about the defeat of the
bill, the passage of which means much
to the South In that event our sena-
tor, as well as his running mates, will
be called on to explain their action
when they come home to give account
OF their stewardship to their constituen.

That United States Senator Jas. K.
Vardaman is disappointing some of his
most ardent friends in his home state,
is very apparent, in his stubborn fight
against the administration measures.
The shipping bill, as we'll as the canal
tolls bill, may have features about them
that look dangerous to some, and NAV
not be just what they should be, but
the question arises how can one demo-
crat stand out stubborny against the
flock, Including the administration, in
matters that seem needful, and where
the bad features are not absolutely
known. 1t has already been proven to
the satisfaction of the country that his
position on the canal tolls bill was not
well taken. And to again take the po-
sition that he has in the shipping bill,
and join the opposite party, we think is
a serious mistake on the part of Sen.

"Vardaman is a man without news
paper, on account of his desertion of
the Democratic party, with the excep-
tion of the Vicksburg Post. Biloxi

A few days since, the Jackson News
in an editorial article, also stated that
the Vicksburg Post was the only news
paper in Mississippi which sustained
Vardaman's cause in opposing the Gov

The Vicksburg post is neither afraid
nor ashamed to be alone in defending
Senator Vardaman in his honest and
courageous fight for what he conceives
to be true democratic principles, and in
opposition to secret caucus tyranny and
secret caucus control of the indepen-
dence and manhood of Senators.
Nevertheless, we believe that the BIZ
loxi paper and the Jackson paper are
each mistaken in the opinion that The
Post is the only paper in Mississippi
that is supporting Senator Vardaman.
Perhaps The Post was the first paper
to ndorse Vardaman' course, but there
are other Democratic papers in this
State which are supporting our able
and courageous Senator, and many more
papers will again enroll themselves in
the serried columns which marched to
victory under the leadership of Varda-
man in past campaigns. Vicksburg
