MISS BELLE kEARNEY
ADDRESSES COMMITTEE
Given Ovation After Patriotic Speech
IN Which She Paid Respects to Mis-
sissippi's Rotten Politics.

Jackson, Aug. 22.-The distinct fea-
ture Of the meeting of the executive
committee today was the address of
Miss Belle Kearney, the defeated
candidate who had requested the
privilege Of appearing before the
committee.
While a committee retifad to tab
ulate the vote of the state primary,
Judge Powell called upon Miss Belle
Kearney, who was present as a mem
ber Of the committee, to make short
talk.
TIE request came entirely unex-
pected, and as Miss Kearney arose
She was greeted with such continued
applause that the tabulating commit
tee and man yothers around the cap
itol came to the Senate chamber to
see the cause.
As soon as quiet was restored Miss
Kearney spoke as follows:
ut is an honor and privilege to
address this distinguished company.
The invitation has come quite unex-
pectedly. | arrived only few mo-
ments ago, after drive through the
country from my plantation residence.
II feel quite at home here. MY
dear father was a devoted Democrat.
I have often wondered which he low
ed the best: the Democratic party,
his church, or Masonry. All Of the
men members of my family have
been Democrats through the genera
tons ever since the birth Of the DEM
ocratic party.
Il entered the race for the United
States Senate with the distinct pur-
pose Of helping to free Mississippi
from the curse of corrupt politics.
Now that / have been eliminated at
the first primary the next step, under
God, for me to take was to declare
myself in favor of the candidacy of
Mr.. Hubert D. Stephens.
aIt is unthinkable to think that Mis-
sissippi should continue under the oy-
ershadowing shame of certain or
ganized power composed Of unprin-
cipled politicians. With the election
Of Mr.. Hubert D. Stephens to the u
fitted States Senate processes will be
set in motion that will lead to Mis-
sissippi's redemption; that will place
this great state in the position that it
once occupied, position Of leadership
and Of glory. am willing to do any
thing in my power to secure the nom
nation and election of Mr.. Hubert D.
Stephens"
Following this speech applause con-
tinued for several minutes, and at adj
journment Of the committee, Miss
Keaney was warmly greeted by prac-
tieslly all those assembled in the gall
lery and on the floor of the Senate.
She prefaeed her remarks by stat
ing that when she decided to enter
the campaign she did not believe that I
half dozen men in the state would
eve her support, but the returns
show that thousands Of men rallied to
her support.

INHUMAN ACT.
Strikers Leave Trains in Desert for

The abandonment upon the Great
American Desert, one of the most in
hospitable regions in the world, of ag-
ed and invalid travellers and women
to be confined in childbirth by rene
gades employed in train crews on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe turns
out to be, as might have been sus-
pected, another legacy of federal con-
troll and another debit to the railroad
administration of William G. McAdoo
This is particularly timely disclos-
ure as it comes on the eve Of an an
nouncement by President Harding
that he viii lay the subject Of the
railroad strike before Congress, which
may be expected to make every effort
TO extend its power and authority ov-
er private industry.
