The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1918-08-14


When Chairman Mullens called t.
order the meeting of the State Exc
mtiye Committee yesterday it wa
little thought that a storm woult
soon break and that in this storm
the real feelings and sentiments o
the members of this comm ttee as tt
present political campaign would be
shown.
Secretary J. E. Norwood was not
present, and it was up to the com,
mittee to select a secretary. Chair,
man Mullens, who has been making
speeches in behalf of the campaign
Of Senator Vardaman, appointed as
secretary J. F. Guynes. This d d not
suit the committee, so by a vote of
13 to they took from the chairman
the appointive power. The Harrison
Noel forces nominated Harmon
Thompson and the Vardaman forces
nominated Mr., Guynes. Thompson
was selected By a vote of 13 to g.,
neither he or Mr.. Guynes voting.
At this junction Judge Robert B.
Mayes introduced a milk and water
resolution lightly pra sing President
Wilson and approving in a mild man
ner the administration, but made no
reference to those who had endeavor-
ed to obstruct the work of Congress in
connection with the war. This reso-
luton suited the Fardaman members
Of the committee fine, but did not ap-
peal to the others, so W. CALVIN Wells
threw CONSERVATION into the camp by
offering substitute to the resolution
There was hurried consultation of
the Fardaman forces, and Hon. j. T.
Savage said before voting for the sub
stitute he wanted it understood that
they did not reflect on Senator Var
daman, whereupOn the only consola-
ton he got was reply that if the
cap fitted him he would have to
wear it"
Judge Robert Mayes in speaking to
his resolution and against the substi-
tute, stated that he was afraid the
substitute might reflect upon one Of
the candidates for the Senate. A
member threw another bomb shell in
to the meeting by asking hm to name
the Senator the substitute would re
fleet upon, but the Judge did not seem
to think that was necessary.
Patriotism Higher Than Partisanship
Seeing that they were beaten to a
frazzle Chairman Mullens declined to
put the negative on the adopt on of |
the substitute resolution. made a
strong speech urging the adoption
of the substitute, and got into the
band wagon. Judge Robert Mayes |,
then withdrew his original resolution,
and amidst the shouts and laughter of |
tse Harrison-Noel followers the sub
Stitute, pra sing President Wilson and
condemning the Instructors was unan-
imously adopted.
The significance of this victory is
readily seen when it is understood |
that the present State Executive !
Committee is the "hand-picked" Var |
daman-Bilbo committee, selected by |
them few years ago when they COM
pletely dominated the state and state
politics. But they have shown their
love for their country is stronger
than their love for friend, and that
patriotism will rise above partisan
snip, in the hearts of liberty-loving |
people.
The following are the resolutions
passed by the State Executive Com
mlttee, telegraphed to President Will
son. the one proposed by Judge Rob-
ert Mayes, and the resolutions show
ing who shall vote in the coming prl-
mary:

Nov. 3, 1913.
My Dear Tess: Well, guess its
over. We are away off the beaten
track and can't tell for sure, but the
guns have stopped and we can draw
our own conclusions.
We are in tents, no floors and sea
of mud everywhere. Shell holes are
so thick that in many places two or
three run into each other. "Duds" lie
all around, the trees are only stubs,
the roads are hung on either side with
camoflaged wire, and the towns are
NOT. We are in the shadow of the
most celebrated hill in France where
four hundred thousand men have died.
You have seen pictures Of the devas-
tated areas in France, so had I, but
they don't begin to give you any idea
of the real thing; it is ruin-absolutc
and utter ruin. On this hill humn
bones lie thick, shoes with feet still
in them, gun pits, trenches, barb wire
and shell holes, stubs of trees that
look like chewed sticks here and there.
l can't begin to tell you.
The town nearest us is a mass o.
ruins, not one single building left.

will probably be disbanded.

wasn't back in peaceful base, but
in at the death. We heard the last
gun and will in all probability get the
last man wounded. The way we have
been going if it had lasted another
month we would have been in the

wanted to but an airplane duel, and
now that is too late; but why worry,
