against Senator James K. Vardaman'
and making the war with Germany ana
the policies of President Wilson's adj
ministration the dominating issues In
the campaign. Congressman Pat Harri-
son, at the Neshoba county fair
grounds, opened one Of the most In
teresting political contests that Mis-
wissippi has ever witnessed.
"If you are supporter of the peer
less president of this great republic,
exclaimed Mr. Harrison, you cannot
consistently support the junior senator
from Mississippi If you love your
cCuntry. which was born in the womb
.ofNwar and nurtured and protected by
the blood of your heroic ancestors, his
reaning record cannot command your
suffrage. If you love liberty and free
dom. me blood bought legacy or every
Sree-boYn American, you cannot reward
the many who gives aid and comfort to
the enemies OF the government that
Harrisons entry into the senatorial
race took place in the presence OF one
of the largest and most representative
crowds ever assembled in the state,
People from all sections Of the state
came to Philadelphia to hear him. IL
was a Harrison crowd from start TO
finish.
There was also no doabt about the
sentiment of the crowd on the question
of unfolding the government In GAG
war with Germany. The sentiment was
plain and unmistakable, not only When
Harrison was speaking, but when
other speakers referred to the war.
Every reference to the duty Of Missls-
sippians in upholding President VII
sons war policies was greeted wita
applause.
