AS AN OUTSIDE soUTHERNER SEES 1T.

It is about six II seven years since The Citizen discussed
the notorius Vardaman, by misfortune the junior Senator from
Mississippi, and it would not discuss him now were 1T not Tor
the fact that the whole country waits with unusual interest to
see whether or not that great state will redeem itself by repu-
dating Vardaman and all his unpatriotic policies by electlng
Congressman Harrison to the seat which Vardaman dlshonors.
Six years ago Mississippi had the choice between Varda-
man and an American gentleman, Senator fercy, ana she
elected Vardaman. AS governor the latter had earned an un-
viable reputation, equaled only by that of Blease in South Caro-
lima in later years. The American people generally were as
founded when Vafdanan proved to be Mississippi's choice for
the senatorial toga, and from that day to this Mississippians
everywhere have been forced to apologize for Vardaman's
presence in the Senate. He was one of the little group of
wiful men" made infamous by President Wilson's public de-
nunciation. .'>
Many of Vardaman's unpatriotic utterances in the Senate
chamber, before and after America entered the war, have
burned themselves into the minds of Mississippians who voted
for him in the last election, and they are leaving no stone un-
turned in their effort to redeem the state.
We are told that the real manhood of Mississippi is
aroused to the shame of Vardaman's presence in the Senate,
and there is every indication that the ~long-haired curiosity will
shortly cease to misrepresent that great state in the United
States Senate. The disloyal American who declared
that the United States stabbed Germany in
the back while England and France had her down" will be
forced to make way for a loyal and virile American who will
state. a.
And with the notorious Vardaman will go another creature
of his type-Hardwick of Georgia-Asheyile IN: c. Citizen.
The above is from a Democrat; newspaper in a Southern
state-not a metropolitan, plutocratic newspaper"-and from
an able editor who could have no personal feeling against Var
daman. He writes his honest unbiased judgment of Vardaman
based on Vardaman's public record and that unbiased judg-
ment is that Vardaman is not a fit representative of Mississippi
in the United States Senate.

IF PAT HARRISON HAD SAID 1T.

If Pat Harrison had said what the press credits Senator
Vardaman with having said in his Amory speech, that there are
some opposing him "who would traffic in the virtue OF their
own homes in order to accomplish my defeat, what a howl
would go from the Senator and some of his me too friends
Just think of the gravity of the charge. What could be the
state of mind of the man who would even think OF making
such an allegation? But this statement by the Senator only
goes to reinforce the already overwhelming proof OF his reck-
less language and votes in Congress. A well balanced mind
would never utter words that would thus defame the woman
hood of Mississippi S 500
In the same speech the Senator is reported as having
branded Pat Harrison as a man whose brain is a barren waste
of sterile mentality" In other words, the Senator thinks Har-
rison a damphool. Harrison very wisely leaves the weight of
his brain as we'll as the Senator's to disinterested judges, new
ertheless he says, II thank God my heart has been 100 per cent
American"

INUNDATED OVER VOTING FOR .vARDAMAN.

The Editor received several days ago a letter from Mr.. w
A. Moffet, president of the Workingmen's Democratic Club at
,Greenville, Miss, from which the following is quoted:
: Through the courtesy of my friend, L. Pink Smith, l read
your editorials every week. You are doing a noble work.
In a career of work in the Democratic party since Nov. Z,
1876, when l cast my first vote for Tilden and Hendricks. moth
ing has ever Inundated me so much as the fact that support
ed Jas. K. Vardaman for Governor in 1908, and for Senator
in 1907 and in 1911. | am now doing all in my power to en-
compass his defeat. Our club endorsed Pat Harrison last
fall. God grant that we may be successful"
There are thousands Of others all over the state who for
merly supported Mr.. Vardaman that are now doing just what
Mr.. Mofet's doing. <

HE DID PRAISE A DEAD MAN.

Senator Vardaman did praise one other man besides him.
self in his New Albany address, but he was a dead one. This
one, he stated, was cone of the South's greatest congressman
since the war" Mississippi has today eight congressman
and, with possibly two exceptions, it is understood that the
Senator is not on harmonius working terms with-any of them.
Is it strange that he gets at cross-purposes with SO many
people? -"
In this connection, it is proper to note that the Senator had
a signed statement in the Commercial Appeal of July %, in
which reference was made to President Wilson. Mr.. Varda-
man was so entranced with his own Importance that he failed
to show the people of the United States the respect due them
by not placing a prefix before the name of the head of their
government. Courtesy demanded that he refer to the coun-
try's highest officer as president" but the Senator bluntly
said, "Wilson."

It is alleged that certain sports at Jackson are offering
bets that Senator Vardaman will be reelected. We
venture no opinion or prediction in this connection, but we
have no hesitancy in endorsing the remark of a prominent To-
cal citizen who says "Vardaman will be the beneficiary OF ev-
cry pro-German and ~""slacker" vote in the state, and It's just
a question of whether or not this class is in the majority

HE NEVER HEARD 1T OR SAW 1T.

Senator Vardaman does not deny saying that in going
to war with Germany we were trying to stab her lin the back
while England and France held her down. but he says that
he was only using somebody else's words. Why does ne not
say who the somebody else is? He can not for the reason that
he never saw such a statement in print before he put it there
and he never heard any American say it. 1t is up to the Sen
ator to name the author of the words which cast such odlum
on American manhood and on the President and his fellow
members of Congress. Let him speak out or forever after
bear the shame of his own language which every right thinking
citizen Justly resents.

ISLANDERS COUNTRY PEOPLE.

The Greenwood Enterprise, of July IL, had an edi-
torial under the caption, "The Unalterable Redneck" which
it is hugging as a drunk man hugs a post that the country
people, the 'red necks," as that paper puts it, are still for
Vardaman. Well, it is useless to protest against that sort of
SANDER of the country people. Fully 80 per cent of the
people Of the towns Of Mississippi either came from the coun-
try or their parents did, so then the people who live in the
towns of Mississippi differ from the people who live in the
country only in having redder necks and being more DEEPEN
dent The country people are just as true and loyal as the
people who live in the towns and the Enterprise need not

According to those who are "in the know" reports in circulation Mondy\ to the effect that the Sulzer club at its last meeting Sunday voted President Wilson out of office and named his successor are entirely untrue and are evidently malicious warns started by someone in the hope that they would be transmitted to Washington and possibly cause the club to be accused of harborins pro-Germans or other ''fcrninst the government" individuals. The same parties aver that what the club did do was to endorse Wm. Brown for the office of Agent for the suppress sion of illicit liquor traffic among the natives, to succeed tho present incum- bent.
