ng election by the people OF MIssIri-
iippi he viii have a right to accept
t as an approval Of his course in Con-
press and It viii be an incentive d
lin to do in the future what he has
lone in the past.
No. There is no reason why any
serson should be misled touching the
Senator's record. 1t speaks for itsels.
The Congressional Record is pub
ished for the sole purpose of presery-
ng the votes and expressions Of rep.
,esentatiyes and senators on public
questions. and there is no reason for
any one being confused about the true
iecord of the Senator
There is a difference between the
-ecords OF Senator Vardaman and my
self There is a difference between
he views OF the Senator and myself
There is a difference between the
views of the Senator and the people
e Mississippi The difference in our
-ecords is that I have fundamentally
md unreservedly supported and CO
operated with my administration and
government before and since our en-
rance into the war. The Senator has
intellectually and unreservedly har-
rassed and embarrassed his admins
ration and government before and
;ince our entrance into the war
The difference between the SEN
ator and the people of Mississippi
is that Mississlppians believe in
the justice of the causes that
forced US into-war. They believe
that it is war not only for the
protection CT American rights and
American honor, but for the liber-
ties Of free people everywhere,
while the Senator believes it 10
an unjust war, brought on purely
as matter of pecuniary profit"
merely becase Of "the interior
ence on the part of Germany with
commerce between New York and
London"-that it was stabbinq
cher (meaning Germany in the
back while England and France
have her down.
l want to represent my State in
he United States Senate. love her
history and believe in the patriotism
IF her people, but if a majority OF
dississippians hold to the sentiments,
u approve the sentiments expressed
y Senator Vardaman four months
md five days after we had entered
he war, that it was merely t. stab
her in the back while England and
France have her down." thereby in
dieting the splendid sodiery of Mis-
sissippi and of this nation. who are
risking their all in defense Of the lib
critics and freedom of our people, the
protection of our women and homes,
and the honor and glory of our flag,
then | prefer to retire to the shades
Of private life, and remain private
American citizen.
In the coming senatorial election
Mississippians are called on to settle
these questions:
Does man holding these senti-
ments accurately represent Missis-
sippi?
Can he give whole-hearted support
to the cause?
Is he the proper representative Of
Mississippi to say what shall be the
final peace terms?
If the Senator believed four months
and five days after the declaration IF
war that the cause of it was 'the in
reference on the part of Germany
with comnserce between New York
and London" and was purely mat
ter OF pecuniary profit" and that 1t
was to stab her in the back while
England and France have her down"
how can the Senator in final adjust
ment represent fairly and justly peo-
pie who differ with him sincerely and
radically and who are Fundamentally
and unreservedly behind their govern
approving unequiyocally our en-
try into the war?
