MISSISSIPPI VOTE
FOR PREPARED NESS
DESPITE ITS ACTION

jackson. Miss, Jan. 21-The appar-
emit anomaly presented by the action
of the Mississippi House of Represen-
tatiyes Wednesday in voting down,
68 to 81. a resolution indorsing Presi-
dent Wilson's preparedness program
and then immediately afterward
adopting q substitute resolution in
doraing the administration at Wash
ington is the subject OF lively discus
sion in legislative circles here. Many
divergent opinions are advanced, but
there Is a very general expression that
the legislators desired to uphold the
hands of the President without COM
hitting themselves on a matter which
they thought was calculated to bring
about factiona1 strife. Many other
Factors also entered into the result.
A careful examination of the vote
shows that many of those opposing
the preparedness resolution are close
personal or political friends of Sena-
tor James K. Vardamans who has
been dghting the Wilson policies at
Washington These men, or some of
them, saw in the resolution covert
attack on Mr.. Vardaman and an in,
dorseuent of Senator John Sharp
Williams, who is closely aligned with
President Wilson
