AN APPEAL TO LOYAL Mlssls.
sIPPIANS

The issue is clear-cut. No attempt
to muddy the waters can avail. 1t is
not a question Of class against class. II
is not a question Of the trusts against
the people. It is not primarily a ques-
ton Of who shall represent this state
in the highest councils Of the nation.
It is purely and solely a question OF
whether or not Mississippians shall
show by their votes that they are
loyal to this government, have been
so, and shall continue to be so in this
the most tragic hour in its long and
glorious history.
There are three aspirants for the
highest office in the gift Of the people
Of this great state. There is not one
Of them who is the friend OF preda-
tory wealth. The Beacon knows that
the common people of this country
have no better friend than Pat Harri-
son, its choice for senator. Born OF
humble ~parentage, he worked his way
into prominence by the sheer force OF
his intellectual powers and sterling
character. AS District Attorney, he
served with distinction, fearlessly
prosecuting the evil doors and up
holding the good name of his district
AS Congressman he has made a most
enviable record, although young in
wears winning a place in national life
that few men enjoy. Elected to Con-
gress as n Democrat, he has never
stabbed his party in the back" but
has stood faithfully by his admins,
tration, the most progressive in al
our national history. He has been
true to his party, true to his presl-
dent, true to his country, defending
with patriotic devotion each one OF
this great trinity that has done
so much for the betterment OF
''
mankind during the stirring years
Of the recent past, He has not
connived with Republicans, bitterly
attacking his own great president,
nor has he ever by act or word done
,r said aught that could in any way
rive encouragement to the arch en-
my of human liberty-the German
government! His record is clean and
,c has challenged his opponent to
meet him face to face before the peO-
,lc Of Mississippi and discuss their
cspective records, a proposition that
20 man who was afraid Of his record
would have dared TO make, and that
10 brave man who was not afraid OF
is record would have dared to de-
line.

PARTY ESION

Senator Vardaman, supposedly a
Democrat, is endeavoring to make
one Of the strongest points in his
campaign speeches the fact that he
has acted and spoken Independently
in his official capacity. This sounds
big to some folks, Of course, who love
bombast and braggadocio. But sup
pose we look into this matter just a
bit. Let us suppose that every DEM
ocrat in both houses of Congress
should initiate the peacock strut. Sup
pose each should determine to speak
and act on all occasions in an en-
tirely independent fashion, what
kind Of a bedlam would we have?
Where would u party program be?
Where our party cohesion? Where
u united front against the common
enemy? Suppose in an army each
soldier should determine to fight as
best suited his inclinations, striking
at the enemy when it suited his fancy
(which wasn't in Vardaman's pro-
gram, however)-"batting' a comrade
in the eye as occasion presented it
self, firing a few shots at his com
mandcr when his back was turned,
boasting of his independence, taking
command from no one, what would be
the fate of that army, do you think ?
Now, we readily admit that it is
rather a strained smile to compare a
political organization with a military
command, and yet the fact is quite
obvious that concert of action is
necessary in politics, and leadership
is absolutely essential to the carry.
ing out of a party program.
Now, if the present administration
had been a Republican one, Their,
would have been good cause evidently
for the Senator to have shown his in
dependence. But when we conside,
the fact that the present administra.
tion is Democratic, that it has beer
the most progressive in the histor,
of the country. that it has had anC
still has superb leadership, the Sen
ator's boasted record of putting him
self out of line with his own part,
is by no meal to his credit, and as
, suredly is not for the good of tn,
political organization-the party o
the people-the party that Missis
sippians have always delighted t.
support. And if every Democrati,
Senator had followed Vardaman',
example, if ever a considerable mum
Der of them had done so, the Demo
cratic party would to-day be but /.
wreck of its former self and the ad
ministration would be subject to tn,
ridicule of the world. It's all RICH
to be independent, Senator, but frs
be sure that your independence car
ries you always toward the enem,
and not against your own party ans
your own administration.

If considerable number of Dem.
ocratic senator's should act towards
the Administration as Senator
Vardaman has acted all along, how
long do you think the Democratic
party would remain in power ?

diers are free users of wine while 9offer-
ing it in generous quantities to: their
American comrades. The Italian govern
ment protests that the Sheppard amend
ment will bar its wine importations to
America, even for sacramental purposes,
hence, not only Americas voice is against
this drastic piece of legislation but the
countries of Europe frown upon it. The
south, first to approve the Sheppard
amendment, is now deploring the rapidly
growing drug habit, so noticeable IN Yer
mont during the prohibition regime. 1t
is but natural for weak human nature
t to incline to the drug when sonnet thing
less injurious is understandable.
Were all the state primary votes cast
for candidates Howe and Darling, former
strong local option men, to be given to
Dr. Mayo. the Democratic candidate for
governor, there would be little question
of his election and his stamp OF. approval
upon the Sheppard amendment. But
as in the past, profession is great but
practice of limited scope Mr.. Clement,
their former and recent opponent, how
ever, may be relied upon to straighten
many devious political paths.
There are always two sides to every
