Jordan Was Vardaman's Mentor

Although DR.. Jordan reported
directly TO Lochner, the latter
looked to Hillquit as his mentor.
One of the most startling let
tiers is that written by Jordan
to Lochner, under date of June
10, 1917, in which he says:
"My course in university ex-
tension for statesmen goes on
nicely. Friday night, under the
lead of Huddleston, | had nu-
merous members of the House.
Monday night | have a seminary
of senators under Vardaman.
81 have never been received
with such Difference before.
But it is also clear that / must
not stay around so as to be re-
garded as a lobbyist. Thus far all
this has been received as person
al favor and the men ask me to
visit them. Kitchen has asked
that for Monday. And there are
numerous others of the same
sort"
No, dear reader. the above quota
tion is not from o. F. Lawrence's
Grenada Sentinel; neither is it from
McNeeley's Vicksburg Herald, Walker
Woods Winona Times, Will Nights
Winston Co. journal, Charley Harris
Madison County Herald or any other
paper in Mississippi said by certain
Mississippi politicians to be subserv-
tents to the interests of predatory
wealth. 1t is not taken from any of
Pat Harrison's speeches during the
political campaign in which he punch
ed ex-senator Vardaman around
over the Mississippi political ring, in
about the same manner that Demp-
sey punched Carpenter, on Saturday,
July End, and with about the same
results. 1t is not even advance press
dope" given out by eX-GOv. Theo-
dore Bilbo a. an excerpt from the
speech he will deliver at Utica, on
Thursday, July 21st, al which time
it is predicted by his friends that he
will formally announce for the United
States Senate and that in his speech
he will pay his respects to his erst-
while friend, who is also invited TO be
present.
No, the above quotation, showing
the associations and affiliations of Mr..
Vardaman while serving as a Senator
from Mississippi, was neither con-
ceived nor born in Mississippi, but it
is an extract from the report of the
Lusk committee, which investigated
seditious activities preceding and dur
ing the war, and was printed in the
Weekly Kansas City Star, June 21,
1921, as a telegram from New York

respected citizen of Manchester, N.

From the time / was a boy /

most a v wreck from all these
years of suffering and could not half
do my work. | hoped for nothing
more than temporary benefit from
Tanlac, as / believed it impossible for
any medicine to give me entire relief,

done. p
For the first time since / can re-
member eat anything ! want and di-
gest it without trouble. l haven't an
ache or a pain and have put on eigh-
teen pounds in weight. / just feel

test | do nOt hesitate to say that it is
the greatest medicine of the age for

COTTON STATES MERCHANTS

Excellent Program Arranged For Con-

August 1926, inclusive.
Former conventions Of the associa
tloh have proven highly successful, a.
well IS. EMO. able, but the three-day
meeting TINS year will be most impor.

ton in business generally and the
need for closer cooperation between

ing remedies and the safe conduct
OF future business. Never was the
jneed for such discussion keener than
1t is today, when the business world
is just beginning to recover from a
long period of depression.
For this reason, the executive COM
imittee OF the association this year has
arranged n of the most attractive
programmes in the history of the or
ganization. Nothing could be added
TO it, either from the standpoint of
educational features or entertain
'ment.
The list OF speakers includes many
of the nations best business and f.
nancial authorities. w. P. G. Hard
ing, governor of the federal reserve
board, has accepted an invitation to
address the convention. He will pay
particular attention to the problem of
financing the movement of the cot
ton crop this fall and will detail the
plan OF the federal reserve to take
care Of the south's chief crop.
1t was said by hundreds Of finan-
ciers that the federal reserve system,
the greatest banking system in the
world, saved the United States from
bankruptcy during the war. The
claim a never been contraIicted.
But even q greater service has been
rendered durino the past year, when
the United States passed safely
through the greatest financial crisis
in its history.
u. n. CrlSslnger, new comptroller
VI the currency n One OF the best
in the United States, also
will address the convention Oh the
subject Of finance. E. W. Nelson,
vice-president OF the Retail Credit
Mems National Association, ane one
OF the foremost authorities on retail
credits, will speak on the subject of
credit systems in retail stores. His
address will be one of the most in
structive features of the convention.
An effort is being made to induce
Herbert Hoover, secretary of CON
merce, to address the convention, and
he has assured the committee that he
will come to Memphis next month if
the duties Of his Office will permit. If
ne addresses the convention, Secre-
tary Hoover is expected to discuss
general business conditions affecting

The prime movers in this schem,
were Louis p. Lochner who was aidet
by Nine. Schwimmer, the Hungarian
representative of Germany in this
country prior to the war, and Roger
Baldwin, who served a year in prison
for violating the selective draft act
On the organizing committee was
Eugene Debs, who is now serving
ten-year sentence in the Atlanta peni
tertiary for traitorous %utterances
and a lot more of the same sort
whose main occupation during the
war was the denunciation of Pres.
dent Wilson and the hindrance OF
the war department in the modifying
and dispatching of an army 20 the

ton of revolution that Germany
might be aided in her scheme of world
conquest.
This is the same Vardaman who
was then senator by grace of the
people of Mississippi, but whose good
sense afterwards prompted them to
Dust him out, and who has the temeri-
ty to again come before the people
of Mississippi and ask them to re-
turn him to a position of honor in
the greatest deliberative body of the
world.
And what is still more amazing, he
is asking them to return him on his
record in Congress- record filled

existence, and of advice to the young
men of America to resist the con-
scription law and avoid doing military
service.
He is one Of the ''wilful few" of
whom the President complained so
bitterly, and whose greatest pleasure
seemed to be to embarrass Woodrow
Wilson and hinder the government in
every possible way.
The people of Mississippi have
made some serious political mistakes
in the past; they have elected some
to high Office whose records were
perfect but in most cases they

found that the Vardaman brand of
patriotism is not endorsed by the

and as part of the evidence submit
ted to the Lusk committee under oath.
1t will be observed that Lochner
looked to Hillquit as his mentor
Jordan looked to Lochner, and it is
very evident from the close of the
second paragraph that Vardaman dur
ing the time he was supposed TO rep
resent a Mississippi constituency was
looking to Jordan as his mentor.
