sue years after those who stood by
the President have been lost. on
the shores of eternity, years and
years after the President has gone
upon the last journey"
The question that will confront
the people of this State next Au-
gust will be: Which man will best
represent my interests and the inter-
ests OF democracy and the nation?"
And we have no fear of the answer.
When the records of Vardaman and
Harrison and Noel are considered
side by side. as they must be. the
vote will be for Vardaman by a
majority so great that it cannot be
estimated.
Even Mr.. Harrison's friends con-
cede his defeat. At first they said:
Wait until the casualty lists begin
to come in Now, they admit that
this will not save their candidate.
The candidate who depends for vic
tory upon the lists of dead and
wounded, who expects the agony
and grief of a mother, wife or father
to bring him success has hitched
his WAGON to poor star.
As for Mr.. Noel, he need not be
considered. His political friends |
and associates want him out of the |
race, and he cannot wish himself |
into it. Ii he is a candidate, and
if MIR. Harrison stays in the race,
they can, at the end, console each
other and talk over what might
have been, and their biographers
can say of each of them: He was
a candidate for the United States
Senate against Jas. X. Vardaman."
Other than the uncertainty of life,
there is no doubt that Vardaman
will be elected, and his vote will be
more than hundred thousand, and /.
lis majority more than either of his
opponents will get votes. /

"A. 3. CoODY.D
The campaign for United States
Senator, at the opening Of the new
year. is beginning to take on definite
lines. As the issues develop. and
men begin to express themselves,
We begin to see that the lines of the
campaign Of 1911 will only gener-
ally hold true. Senator Vardaman
has lost but few of his former friends,
and these few disaffections are most
ly due to personal feeling rather than
to disagreement with the policies
Of the Senator. On the other hand
he has gained thousands of friends
who have been won to his support
because OF his independent and
statesmanlike course as a Senator.
When Nardaman was elected to the
Senate, many men sincerely believ-
ed that he would make a fool Of
himself in the Senate. and that his
influence would be nothing They
have been agreebly disappointed,
and there are few men in Mississippi
today who do not feel proud of the
Junior Senator. His career has been
marked by independence of thought
and action, and he has been guided
by the desire to serve the whole ma
ton Ia manner worthy Of the high
est ideals of his native State.
There is not member of the Sen
ate who enjoys better reputation
for honesty and sincerity of purpose
or who is more universally respected
by friend and foe. His opinions are
considered because all men know
that they come from his own heart
and are not some ones else.
Az was expected the cosmopolitan
press tried at first to ignore Varda-
man in the Senate. Not knowing
the man, many men in the nation
who stood for the very things he
stands for were opposed to him.
They had listened to his detractOrs
and felt that he was a mere dema-
gogue, who had gotten into office on
a fake issue. Since they have come
to know the man. they respect and I,
love him. The progressive, forward {
looking men in the nation are COM
ing to look upon Sanator Vardaman
as among the foremost opponents of
and fundamental dem
,cracy. No man has ever occupied :
, seat in the Senate who has gained .
more friends and admirers through !;
'ut the nation than has Vardaman.
When Mr.. Harrison opened his
he stated that he desired n
hat the campaign be waged upon g
he one issue of standing by the h
resident. Having voted early and n
ften as he was told to vote, Mr.. a
harrison naturally felt that he could n

tate, if the campaign was confined e,

The people OF the State cannot be

asks be done.

True, Nardaman has been severe /,
