The editor of this paper has
been a supporter of Senator Var
daman for many years past dur
ing which time we have had &C.
casion to differ with him on not
a few questions, but it is a great
disappointment to us now to see
how persistently he is giving
vent to his absolute antagonism
to everything that is proposed by
President Wilson. In this parti-
cular we believe that we are safe
in the assertion that our Junior
Senator has failed to represent
the sentiment of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the people of
Mississippi. They may differ at
times with the President on nom
essential measures, but at the
same time they appreciate the
greatness of his craftsmanship
and wisdom, and realize that dur
ING such trying times as these
through which We are now pass
ing they must uphold his hand
and thereby give him added
strength in this time of need
