WHO is FOOTING THE
= IA ISSUES BILLS?

Rv the wav. Senator Vardaman has
said much about the "subsldizeo
~nressv being against him. Perhaps
some of his friends can tell us what
German agents did with that more
han a million dollars they spent III
this country trying to buy up newspa-
ners and shape public opinion SO thai
the United States would not resent
cerman insults? 1t is remembered,
too. that that German hellian, Bern
stoff. wired his government for "$50,
600 TO be used in influencing Con-
oress as before" Think of it. Now
if there has been any loose connect
ions anywhere about money, it seems
that the finger of guilt points to some
of those throughout the country inter
ested in Senator Vardaman's election.
The Issue is being mailed out all over
! Mississippi and to thousands that new
or subscribed to it and do not want 1t.
Somebody is footing the bills for this
It must cost the Issue about S9OO.OO
, nor week to do what it is doing. Is
it using n of that more than a mil
p, lion dollars sent over here before the
, War by Germany?

WOULD NOT ENTRUST ANY
PORTION OF AN ARMY

If YOU were the General directing
q great army, would you be willing to
entrust any portion of that army to
a man who was known to be opposed
to fighting the battle, and opposed to
fighting at all; and who said if the
battle was fought that it would be be-
cause the rich caused it, "a matter of
pecuniary profit?
Would you, as a soldier, be willing
to go out and fight under a Colonel
or Captain who was constantly "cuss-
ing" the General-in-Chi and who
was known for his disagreements with
other officers of like rank and posi-
ton? AS a sensible man you could
make but one answer, mo" But
those who persist in voting for Var
daman after having his record as a
Senator shown them and after Presi-
dent Wilson has said over his w sig
nature that Vardaman is known at
Washington as a stumbling block, are
acting as if they would have no re-
card for the General-in-Chief or the
wishes Of the soldier

THE BETTING VARDAMAN
CONTINGENT PUT TO ROUT.

There has been for some time quite
a contingent among the supporters of
Senator Vardaman who seemed to
think that the best and only argument
that they could offer in support Of the
candidacy of the Senator for r~e-elect-
ion is, "Well, I'll bet you $.-."
The supporters of Pat Harrison real
ize that the number. of dollars involv-
ed does not make wrong right, nor
does it change a principle, however,
some of them came to the conclusion
that it was time to make the Varda-
man supporters who were proposing
to bet either back up what they said
or retreat, and thus it was that $50
OO.OO was sent to Grenada and is now
in Grenada Bank, which says that Pat
Harrison will be Senator. Up to now
there has been only $4,000 Of this
amount taken by Mr.. Vardaman's
friends and we dare say that this
amount had to be corkscrewed out of
them.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-08-16
JUST AS WELL HAVE
PLAIN TALK.

There are some few Vardaman men
in Grenada County, and indeed
throughout the state, who are saying
that "all this talk about German
atrocities is for effect and to scare
people into fighting" and sundry
other kindred statements calculated
to hinder the progress Of WI troops
in the war and to embarrass those
who must direct the var Now these
people may rest assured that their
number has been taken and that they
are not going to be allowed to even
secretly register what they regard as
a protest against the war and make a
salute to Germany.
Germany is as mean as the devil
and all his cohorts want her to be
and the only reason that the devil
does not want the Kaiser fastened on
TO him is because he fears the Kaiser
will %suppIant him in hell and that ne
will have to take second place.
The American people mean busl-
ness about this war and they are not
going to tolerate any milk and cider
business or any winking at the Kai-
: ser. Every man is spotted. &
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-08-16

Red Cross Or any investment they
have made in Thrift or War Savings
Stamps or Liberty Loan bonds. If
they believe that Vardaman is right
and their Government is,wrong, their
hearts did not control their actions
and the Government doesn't want or
need their money.
The issue is now so clear cut that
no n can be further deceived. If
on the goth of August when you go
to cast YOU vote YOU think that the
United States is "stabbing Germany
in the back" and the war is being
fought for necuniary profits" and all
YOUR sympathy is for Germany, then
for Gods sake vote for Vardaman and
be damned to you.
If on the other hand yeu think the
war is being fought to make the
world a safe place to live in, that the
President regardless of any mistakes
he has made. as cOmmander-in-chief
of u arrnv and navy is entitled to
sympathy of every good mar and wo-
man in the Ian. then vote for Har-
rison and NAV God bless you.
Which shall it be? Germany and
Vardaman, or Wilson and your own
country? "By their fruits We shall
know them" Go to it.
BY the. way there are two Con-
gressm.n from this state who should
be left at home to help comfort VAR
daman when his hour of trouble
comes. Both are most devilishly
loyal to Mr.. Wilson now but less
than a year ago they were with Var
daman in feeling but lacked his
courage to act. Remember these
gentleme no nthe goth Of August.
Put nothing but loval men and true
men on guard. Who are they? If
YOU are readig men you already
know them and if you are not it will
do no good to name them.
This has been a mighty happy day
for this writer.
The war news came good,
The Presidents solar plexus blow to
And it is raining.
Vardaman appeared in print.
I hope it has been a bad day for the
Hun.
I hope Vardaman will have decency
enough to Quit the race.
| hope Pat Harrison is enjoying the
day.

man that succeeded in getting himself
so thoroughly disliked in so short a

a disgust with the man. and a con-

There can be no debate about what
the Kaiser would do in the senatorial
race. If he were here he would un-
ouestionably vote for the man who
said that the war is unjust and that
man is Jas. K. Vardaman. If Wood
row Wilson were voting in Mississippi
is there anybody who doubts that ne
would. vote for Pat Harrison. Now
which are you going to line up with,
Kaiser Bill or your President? Men
must be judged by the company they
keep.

Vardaman said that the newspapers
and others who said that he had OBJ
structed legislation at Washington
and antagonized the President in ev-
cry possible way were GLARS" "assas-
ms of character" and squirrel heads
and so on. Now President Wilson
m along and states over his w
signature that what has been said OF
Vardaman in this regard is correct,
Now what about it?
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1918-08-16

If perchance Vardaman should be
elected, when Mississippi wanted any
thing done, she would either have to
ask Senator Williams Or go to the
Senator from some other state. Var
daman can not go to the White House
and is not on good terms with the
members of the Cabinet. Is it prob
able that all these men are wrong and
Vardaman alone in the right?

The Barre war chest has made a good
start toward filling through the canvass
already made among the granite plants
of the city. In the main the men EN-
ployed in those plants have responded
well to the appeal being made in behalf
of our soldiers and salors and in behalf
of those loyal and long suffering nations
which are allied with us in the struggle
TO put down the menace of Prussian
militarism for all time. II is now up to
the remainder of the people of Barre to
make such generous subscriptions as to
fill the chest. This must be done. The
effort to systematic our war contribu-
tions and to distribute the burden among
the entire population must not cease I'M
til the war chest campaign has reached
a complete success. The house-to house
canvass of the city will be made to-mor-
row Tuesday and it is the patriotic
duty of every person who is financially
able to do something to enter subscrip-
tion for the fund. Don't let it be said
that you were so derelict to your duty
or so needless of the welfare of your fell
ow-countrymen and allies as to refuse
