bill--a measure designed to obtain
ships and which are now so neces-
sary for the prosecution Of the war.
They will not forget that lis single
vote cost the farmers Of the South
upward Of two hundred millions of
dollars in cotton alone. They will not
forget the Senator's opposition to the
resolution endorsing president Viii

tons with Germany and on which ac-
ton the eyes of all Germany were
fixed They will not forget the part
he played in opposing and assisting to
kill the measure designed to arm our
merchant vessels so that the lives and
property of American citizens might
be protected They will not forget
that that action upon the part of the
Senator and the very few men who
stood with him at that time was con-
demned throughout the country and
provoked the President Of the United
! States to say that "a little group OF
wilful men, representing no opinion
but their own, have rendered the
great government Of the United
States helpless and contemplate"

can possibly feel any special pride
in having the President of the
United States, a Southerner and a
Democrat whom the world today
respects and looks upon as the
man above all others who will set

teryiew said: THE President, obey
ing the dictates of humanity would
involve the United States in the
bloody conflict now being waged in
Europe in order that British and
French commerce might not be inter-
fered with. The suggestion is mon
strous. If Congress shall permit this
country to be drawn into war with
Germany or any of the other bellig-
erent powers for the reasons assigned
by President Wilson in his message,
the members thereof will deserve the
eternal execration and final repudi-
alton of the American people"
! They will not forget that in the SEN
ate of the United States on March 2,
1917, as shown in the Congressional
Record, page ATT, Second session,
Gath Congress, the Senator said, "If
this administration shall put higher
estimate upon human life than com.
mercial conquest; if we shall put the
immortal soul above the dollar, and re

Washington, D. c., May Gloon
grsssman Pat Harrison today gave
out the following statement in refer
ence to Senator Vardaman's recent
address to the People OF Missis'
sippi":
If the result of. the Senatorial race
in Mississippi were not so extremely
important to Mississippi and the ma
ton, the address would be amusing.
enc not familiar with the Senator's
past utterances and performances on
reading the address would naturally
conclude that he had been one of the
stalwart champions of the Admins
tration's policies and defenders Of the
Government in this great crisis. The
address is an adroit piece Of camou-
flage-conceived and written for the
sole purpose not of enlightening the
people Of Mississippi on his true rec
ord and recalling his past expressions
and votes ON the controversy between
Germany and the United States, but
with the hope of diyerting the real is
sues of the campaign.
wonder if any of the friends of the
Senator believe the statement that
There has not been enacted a war
measure that had for its real purpose
the strengthening of our arms and
the support Of our boys in the
trenches that has not had my enthsi-
astic and cordial support" The Sen
ator knows, every one in Washington
knows and surely every Mississip-
plan should know, that since the be-
ginning of our controversy with Ger
many the Senator's u,terances and
/ performances have not been such that
any friend Of his, no matter how en-
Enthusiastically he may have supported
him in the past, could approve or con
done.
