pulled off at Amory Monday. Var.
daman people. responding to the
whim of the Harrison contingent in
Aberdeen. closed the doors of their
business houses as courteous
method Of rebuke for the barbarous
reception given their. leader and
Mississippi's distinguished junior
Senator by the Harrison people when
he spoke at the same place slightly
more than a week ago. The recep-
ton accorded Harrison by the Var
daman people will always be cour-
teous. They know that every time
Mr.. Harrison makes speech he is
preaching a part of his political
funeral. They believe that pleasant
things that do not endanRer the
welfare of the republic, should at
tend him up to August Goth, when
he will be retired by the people to
private life-a just rebuke to him
for patrioteering for place of safety
on Capitol Hill when duty to coun-
try ought to have constrained him
long ago to serve his country in the
trenches of France.
The stampede led by brass band
reached Amory on schedule time
where "Pattie" proceeded to get
out of his system as much misrep-
resentation of Senator Vardaman's
record as could well be held in the
anatomy of any one man. The
crowd was composed almost entirely
of towns people, women and chill
dren. it being conspicuous for the
absence OF people from the country.
With exception of few. the coun-
try people that were there, were
supporters of Senator Vardaman,
and were attracted by curiosity to
hear the stereOtyped speech of mis-
INDUCED by the pa
candidate for the United
States Senate. Harrison people had
been importuned for more than a
week to assemble at Amory to mass
in shock formation to STAMPEDE the
people. They came but not in such
as was desired. From the
point of view, the speak
ing was failure; not a Vardaman
man was changed, so far as we have
heard, but many, who up to that
time had not made up their minds,
are now outspoken for Vardaman.
