NOTE OF WARNING.


former owner of the Jackson Clarion
Ledger, has sounded the note of warn
ing to the ants. He points out the
imminent need of concerted action
on the part of the ants, if Senator
Vardaman is to be defeated. LIS
In his note Of warning he says:
"Let us confer with and exchange
views with the wise men Of our party
and after mature elaboration, map
out plan that will insure the cleo
ton of the candidate who represents
the views of the unterrified Democ-
racy of the great state of Missis-
sipIl."
The wise men referred to are also
mentioned, as follows:
There was no secret caucus about
that great meeting and there will be
no secret caucus about the meeting
that must be held to name a candidate
to defeat Vardaman for the Senate.

The Eagle contends that there are
other "wise" men in the state of Mis-
sissippi, men who will not sit idly by
and see the common people of our
great state walked over ruffshod in
a repetition of the election of the
Vardaman-Harrison campaign. The
common people Of the state deserve
representation in the lawmaking body
of our nation, and unless they have
voice in electing a senator in the
campaign which is now coming on the
people, their voice will probably be
forever hushed.
Senator Vardaman represents the
common people of Mississippi. His
predictions made during the last cam
paign are coming true to the MAX
every day. We see in him a "long
sight," and we recognize his ability
as a statesman unparalleled by any
Mississippian.
The time has come when the cour-
age of ones convictions will have
to be resorted to if the wishes
Of the common people are to be
respected We call upon every true
Democrat of the state to take warning
from the colonel's utterances and get
ready for the fray. The hottest days
of Mississippi's political history are
in front of US, and unless the common
masses stand firm, a stampede will
result, followed by an irreparable dis
-disfranchisement of the COM
mon people, so far as representation
in Congress is concerned.
The gentlemen mentioned by Col
Henry are the leading. ants of the
state; he knows their names, and he
is calling on them otake action at
once. Then, we see no reason why
the friends Of Senator Vardaman !
should not take similar action in get
