Senator had ever raised his voice
against Germany to condemn
but that he had indicted his own
government along with some O.
our allies.
When Mr.. Harrison arose he
received an ovatian, it being
several minutes before he could
proceed. Quite being restored,
he launched into his usual speech
comparing his record in Congress
with that of the Junior Senator
and told Of the reasons which
led him to enter the race. He
oaid his respects quite freely to
some recent differences of his
opponent and in no uncertain
way stated his position relative
to these matters.
1t is evident that the crowd
was with him from the very
beginning. A few men went to
the speaking avowed and out
spoken advocates for the other
man but went away wearing
Harrison badges. One man who
refused such a badge at first be-
fore the speaking hunted up the
girls and secured a badge. An
other who refused badge to
begin with later picked up a lost
ribbon and pinned it on himself.

Pat Harrison at Amory

Through the kindness Of Or.
Miller and daughters, it was OH
good fortune to hear Pat Harr;-
sons speach at Amory Monday
afternoon. Pat was at his best,
and we'll he might be, for the
outpouring of people to hear him
was sufficient to encourage one
much less optimistic. We will
not attempt to tell you how
many people were there for We
simply have no idea. Several
times we tried to estimate the
crowd, but each time we merely
viewed a sea of faces without
being able to see the outer
bounds. We did estimate the
number of automobiles parked
near the grounds at $50, which
must have brought some 1000
people. At any rate more
people were present than could
get near enough to hear the
speaker.
Mr.. Harrison was introduced
by Mr.. Lowe, a former Varda-
man Of Nettleton, who told his
hearers why he is not now
supporting the Junior Senator.
lie denyed having left the sena-
tor but claimed the senator left
the flag. He paid a high tribute
to Mr.. Harrison and condemned
many official acts Of Senator
Vardaman. He said that he had
read of all that Senator Varda-
man had done and said and that
no where did he find where the
