the heels OF report that the Reich

Il don't know how long the war

may last, l know that the quickest
way out is straight through.
"Any division or discussion now
would simply prolong the war and
make it more costly in lives and

desires peace the more firmly he
should support the government as the
quickest way of assuring peace"
Mr.. Bryan asserted that "this is

firmly support our allies, for "if we
allow them to fail, we ourselves fail
and any neglect in furnishing them
with men or money would compel
US to fight the war alone."-New

WHEN VARDAMAN TURNS
TO MUD.SLINClNC ORATORY

Speaking of picturesque diction,
witness this line from a recent pseech
by our mutual friend, James K. Ward
aman, of Mississippi:
"My attention has been called of
late to a peculiar species of emb-
| ryonic statesman, the spawn an pro-
duct of the slime-covered pools of
war, the evolution from the human
microbe which found its origin in the
troubled womb of a~bnormality. There
are found on every hand these days
robust specimens Of this runty genius,
ETC."
Just what this senatorial gladiator,
this anti-warrior, this sky-vaulting
oracle from the South is getting at
! don't know. 1t is suspected, how
ever, that he was smashing one Pat
Harrison, representative in congress
from his W state, in the nose Har-
rison has had the temerity to an
nounce his candidacy for Vardaman's
seat and is standing upon a straight
100 per cent American platform, a
platform as different from that Yard
aman is running on as a Chesapeake
Bay shad is from a tadpole. But
Vardaman is there when it comes to
garbage-can oratory. There is none
like him in the senate, in the house,
in the country, in the world.>
Mi..i..ippian Against vardaman to
Set State Right.
This same Pat Harrison happens
to be one of the cleanest and ablest
of the younger men in the house.
He is of the same stamp as John
Sharp Williams. He has stood
squarely behind the President upon
every issue of this war. He stood
with Woodrow Wilson upon every
question of great domestic interest
before the war. He has been a leader
and a Spokesman OF an important
element of the house for years. He
