Publication of Senator Varda-
mans address to the people of
Mississippi is given space else
where in this paper. The address
rings true to the note of patriot
SIN to which the heart of every
American is attuned.
The sentiment given expression
therein has taken the wind out of
the sails of his political OppOsers
who are attempting to inject the
issue of patriotism into the Sena-
torial campaign. assuming that
the junior Senator has been de-
relict in manifestation of that
high quality. Thus the charge
has been one of assumption rath-
er then one of fact and is predi-
Gated upon his record. that acting
in his representative capacity. he
did not always vote with the ma
jority. but followed the dictates
of his conscience in throwing his
influence to this side or to that
side, irrespective of the majority.
Thus it is sought to f0ment p0-
litical strife by constituting those
differences into acts of disloyalty.
when in fact they represent diff
ferences of opinion only as to
what constituted. at that time,
the best policy for the nation to
pursue. The question Of patriot
ism had no place in that discus
sion, and any attempt to make il
an issue in the senatorial cam
paign is done to divert the public
mind from the material thing 81
