Hon, Harrison's Speech.
Hon. Pat Harrison spoke at the
fair grounds Tuesday afternoon.
He was introduced by Prof. Sam
Sargent, of Becker.
His speech was an incident of
the fair program that day. He
came here at the solicitation of
the fair management and was
welcomed by the anti-Vardaman
school of politics in this county.
Of course that school, not alto
gether here but elsewhere in the
State, will flock to The man who
can give them a vestige of hope
that they can wrest the State and
national political interests from
those in whose keeping the voters
have placed them. This school
which consists of the Percy Alex
ander contingent, which went
down in defeat in 1911, are now
confronted with a dilemma, hav-
ing two candidates contending
tOlead them out of the wilderness.
These two gentlemen are Hon.
Pat Harris and ex-governor
Noel. Mr.. Noel came into the
race on his own initiative, and
because of his record in the no.
tOrlOuS secret caucus of 1910, in
which the will of the people was
defeated in the appointment of a
United States Senator for the I'M
expired term, the anti-Contingent
considers him not available and
have attempted to secure his re-
tirement from the race. They
object to the introduction of the
old secret caucus issue, because
of the stencil it leaves in the nos
trils of every honest voter. Mr..
Noel, however, up to this time,
has refused to vacate and says he
is in the race to the finish.
The anti-Vardaman school of
politics prefer to rally around
Hon. Pat Harrison who hereto
fore has been against them. They
believe that a man who has been
converted from his former polit-
ical affiliations to their way of
thinking affords the best chance
for them to win.
Mr.. Harrison is a pleasant gen.
tleman and a fluent speaker. He
retreaded the ground gone over
in his speech delivered at the Ne
shoba county fair with which most
people are familiar. He review
ed his own record in Congress,
also MIR. Vardaman's record in
the Senate. drawing comparisons
and making deductions to pre-
sent his record in Congress ex-
tremely creditable and loyal,
while that of the junior Senator
he left open to grave criticisms.
The deductions were predicated
upon the claim that he had never
differed in opinion with the pres
ident while Mr.. Vardaman had.
He claimed a point in the as
sertion that Mr.. Vardaman was
without influence at Washington,
while from his point of vantage
with the administration he would
be in better position to get
things done for his State. Mr.. |
Harrison's speech was all that his |
friends could have expected and
secured the prepOnderence of the
vote in this county that has al
ways heretofore been cast against |
Mr.. Vardaman.

HERE'S A MAN With
A BRAND new CALENDAR


By The United Press.
" FRESNO, Cal, Feb. Now
come Benz. B. Goodman, OF this
city. with a new calendar. II it
went into effect, we could forget
e. the old rhyme about: Thirty
$ days hath September, April, June
and November"
Under Goodman's system the
year would be divided into four
. seasons. OF three months each.
Each season would contain two
months OF % days each. and one
month OF 35 days. New Years
Day would not under this system,
be January /, but would be sim
ply known as New Years Day,
and would be the day following
the last day of the year. The day
after New Years would be jan
uary 1.
Goodman says his system would
produce a condition where the
same date in each month would
always fan on the same day OF
the week.
