The senatorial election has not
turned out as we would have liked,
nor as we hoped it would. We ae-
cept the result in good faith, as
there is nothing else to do.
We are not sorry for the part we
played. We fought for what we be
lieved was right and for the interests
of the masses Of the people.
Looking back over the past few
months we can find nothing to re-
proaeh ourselves with. We have
done our best. We said all that we
could say, as strongly as we could
say it. We struck every blow we
could strike. We have a clear con
science.
When a man does his best, he does
not have to win. We owed it to our
selves and to our frit nds to do our
best and we did it. And having done
that, we are happy.
And now our faces are turned tow
ara the Iulufe. me right sui lceuS
assistance, the wrong still needs re-
sistance, and as God gives us light,
we are going TO stand against wrong
and for the right.
Wewisht no man any i'll luck; we
desire to injure no man; we hate no
man; we fear no man. Hate only
hurts the person who does the hating.
1t is a truism, "That he who grief
to his brother brings, in his turn shall
some day weep"
We are proud of the fight we made
Our enemies have borne testimony to
our work by slandering and abusing
this paper. We forgive them, and
thank them for thus expressing their
opinion of the fight we We're making.
The only regret we have is that we
were not able to make a better and a
stronger fight.

EDITORIAL

1t will be best left to the candid
uuprejudiced reader to decide wheth
err or not the Herald was successful
in adhering to its announced policy
of not hitting below the belt" in
the bitter senatorial campaign just
closed. Such was our endeavor any
way. At times the provocation was
strong to lam loose and say some
real biting things, but if we correct
ly construe our utterances we re-
Trained from it and feel better that
we did.

-Csaucusites Think State Has Been
Turned Over To Them Again.


We notice that all the old secret
caucus politicians were at the Pat
Harrison rally at Jackson Thursday
night of last week, with their lamps
trimmed and burning. They imagine
the election of Harrison to the senate
puts them back into the political sad
die in Mississippi and several of them
are grooming for the fray next year.
Earl Brewer, even, was there and the
gubernatorial bee was buzzing so per
sistently in his hat that the buzz was
audible to the entire crowd. They
think the state has been turned over
to them again. They figure that the
former supporters of the Junior Sena
tor can be held ON their side of the
fence and lined up with them in the
state and county election next year
But they have rcekoned without their
host They cannot ram Earl Brewer,
or any of his class, down the throats
of the people of Mississippi, whether
they be Vardaman, Bilbo or whatnot.

the Election

We were very strong for Vardlman
on personal graunds as he once did
US favor we shall not soon forget
His big heart went out to us and he
shall always occupy a warm place in
our hearts. We have never been an
extreme partisan, either in church or
the results of an election as it is the
duty of every good citizen to do. Here
is to Pat Harrison, United States Sen
ator Elect.
The senatorial campaign reminds
us of a Dutchman justice of the peace
who tried two men for assault and
battery. After hearing all the evil
dence the court said: "Vel, | have
heard Mr.. Jones side and he vas
right, and / have heard Mr.. Brown
and he was RICH so l viii foine you
both ten dollars and tax the consta-
bic with the COSTS
SO we have heard Mr. Vardaman
and he was right and we have heard
Mr.. Harrison and he was right, so we
will find them both guilty and tax
the voters with the costs.

-Vardaman Received Large Vote
Despite His Defeat

Many causes for Senator Vardaman
defeat have been given. Among them
Is the fact that it rained all day on
election day which no doubt kept
many voters away from the polls in
the rural districts, where the sena-
tor is the strongest Others say the
thing that turned the tide was Presi-
den Wilson'S letter, which stated that
yardaman's election would be ac-
copied by him as a condemnation of
his administration.
A number have claimed that the
little card gotten out by the Harrison
people claiming that Vardaman did
not want the negroes to go to war,
hurt him worse than any other thing
Others mention the charge abont con
victs and conscripts as the most eff
fective.
AS we understand it; the New Or
leans Item has the situation sized up
about right in an editorial this morn
ing when it says:
"Vardaman had made issue after
issue with the administration before
the United States entered into war
with Europe, and, i'll fact before there
was any war in Europe. But the is
sue raised by Mr.. Harrison affecting
his senatorial position at the time
and since this country went to war,
re- inforced by the presidents note,
must be considered as practically the
sole reason of the Mississippi result
inasmuch as practically no other is
sue was discussed in the campaign.
''Vardaman's strength at home
moreover, was indicated by the very
large vote he appears to have receiv-
ed in spite of the forces operating a.
gainst him. The obliteration of his
immense past majorities, on the 9th
err hand-their conversion into mi
nority-- must stand as an indication
Of the popular support of the presi-
dents war program in the face of the
popularity of a state parsonage. Z

precious careful study of it, to fill
out his registration card and do it
expeditiously and thoroughly. The
nation is calling for full muster of
Its manhood to be in position to

Opposes Lowering Age Limit for
Governors Office

Some of the newspapers are NEIL
tioning several gentlemen as proha-
BILE candidates for governor
Mississippi wants a man for gov
ernor a man who has some age and
experience, a man who has made a
financial success of his business, a
man who can appeal to the people on
his merits, man whose private and
public life is above reproach and a.
bove all a man who has the welfare
of the state at heart and not simply
to get honor and money for himself
and few friends. We want man
who will select men for positions who
are fitted for said positions, even if
they did not support him at all.
There are few people in our state
who are so narrow that they want our
constitution amended so that Mr.. Con
ner, speaker of the house of represen
tatives. can be candidate for gov
ernor
We admire Mr.. Conner for his a
bility but he is too young to be gov
ernor and should be discouraged in
such a movement There's is plenty
of time for him. 1t is our honest o.
pinion that forty is young enough for
man to be governor; for he should
be man of mature judgement

The Senatorial Campaign is over,
Somebody was bound to win and
somebody bound to lose. Such is
the natural sequence of a contest of
that kind. But nobody is bound to
keep up an UNwARRANTED fight
against his neighbor and former
friend as a bring-over of political
rancor. The man who stoops to do
it may console himself aud believe
he is amply justified in such course
but his fellow citizens will soon get
his number and grade him in their
minds as to his proper caibre.

Local Newspaper Itself a Support
To a Town

Perry Co. News.
1t is almost unbelievable that there
should still be few citizens of New
Augusta who do not subscribe for
their home newspaper or give aid to
it in any way, but such is the case
We are not trying to quarrel with an
Y one; but surely a citizen who ig-
nores the local newspaper has not Civ
en- the matter much thought. If con-
sidered purely as a business enter
prise there is probably no local in
dustry in a small town except farm
ing that brings to and expends in the
place as much money in proportion
to the sum it takeS,Jut of that place,
as your local newspaper. This might
be a surprise to some, but a little
careful investigation on the part of
any one interested will prove its
truth. Some may think that New
Augusta is supporting" the local
newspaper But figures show that,
while its business does not boast of
huge proportions, the local newspa-
per is helping to support New Au-
gusta. We have no reference to any
moral or educational force it may ex-
ert, but are considering the matter
purely from financial standpoint

TIE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign tor the Fourth Lib
ertr Loan begins September % and
closes October 10. While the a.
mount has not vet been announced,
it is generally conceded it will be
for larger amount than any OF the
preceding loans The American peo-
pie. therefore, are called upon to
raise a larger sum of money in d
shorter length of time than ever be-
fore. There is need, therefore. for
prompt action-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and liberal sub
scrIptlons.
We have d great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the
battle front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and pa
trlotism but with great incentive
to do his or her part. There is nc
striking, no shifting of the individ-
ual burden, no seltishness by Amer
lean soldiers in France: there should
be none here. We are both support
| ing the same country and the same
lcause--our Army in one wav. our
selves in another Theirs is the
harder part, but at least we cap dc
our part as promptly and loyalty and
efficiently as do theirs.

primary was pulled off? The fact
that just about one hundred thousand

which led so many to stay away from
