Approve or Veto the Charge.

The time is near when the peo
pie of Mississippi are to commend
or condemn with their votes, the
high handed manufacturing that
was practiced and successfully
executed at the polls in Missis
sippi in the Sensational election Of
1918. The time will get here in
August when the mettle of those
who were brow beaten. maligned
and sought to be inundated will
be put to the test.
In the recollection of these peo-
pie there will rankle the charge,
PRO German, ""dislOyal, "a vote
for the kaiser" if they dared as
sert their right and vote for Var
daman for reelection to the
United States Senate.
The men who dared assert that
right, asserted it in their convic-
ton as ameans of preserving JEFF
fersonian democracy and COnsti-
tutiOnal liberty. Every one of
them supported the administra-
ton and contributed their sons
and their money to prosecute the
war TO final success and victory.
They differed only with the anti
Vardaman political clique in Mis-
sissippi who used all this vituper-
alton under the cover of sham
of patriotism to gain the ascend
ency for their faction in national
politics.
That faction hopes in this
years election TO wreSt the state
administration from the hands of
the people, and have character
lied all who voted contrary to
them in the election of 1918 as
'Vardaman pups" and have enun-
ciated a threat to drown all these
pups-"while the river is up"
