ANOTHER WILSON
CANDIDATE DEFEATED.

According to press reports Senator
Cumberson of the Lone Star State
(Texas) has been defeated for the
Democratic Senatorial nomination,
leaving Ex-Governor Ferguson and
Mayfield in the contest in the second
primary.
Senator Culberson during his cam
paign boosted of the fact that he in
dorsed ex-President Wilson's admin
istration and that he had given him
his most loyal and patriotic support
during the war.
It is rather significant that both
Republicans and Democrats who stood
by the Wilson administration right
or wrong are meeting their political
Waterloo when they return to their
constituents and ask for a renewal OF
their commission.

who came forward to shake his hand
and wish him success in his fight to
regain his seat in the senate.
Hon. S. A. Witherspoon, prominent
member of the local bar, was master
of ceremonies at the speaking, first
introducing Judge Burch, who as he
arose to speak was given an ovation.
Acknowledging the very flattering in
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Witherspoon, Judge
Burch Immediately plunged into a
discussion of the issues, and the
charges made against Senator Varda-
man, producing records to show that
the votes of Vardaman's about which
he had been so much criticized, were
in accord with the platform of the
democratic party. He also produced
records showing the constructive acts
of Vardaman while governor and as
senator.
Judge Burch also discussed the un-
fairness of the campaign made
against Senator Vardaman in 1913,
and appealed to the people of Missis-
sippi to discard all bias and feeling
and to vote for or against Vardaman,
not on what his enemies said but on
the records made by him, while as
governor and senator. His speech was
favorably received, being frequently
interrupted by applause, and at the
conclusion the crowd loudly cheered
him.
Judge D. w. Houston vas next in
troduced by Mr.. Witherspoon, and
discussed the record made by Varda-
man, particularly while in the senate.
He showed how the differences be-
tween Vardaman and President Viii
son began, explaining in detail how
each stood on the great questions
about which they differed, how that
difference grew, and like Judge
Burch, produced records, among them
IL la, &c +Io Jaronorotio paTty
showing that those votes for which
Vardaman had been charged to be
undemocratic, we're really in accord
with the platform, and that Varda-
man, would not have been a true
democrat had he voted otherwise.
Judge Houston also discussed the
great service rendered by Vardaman
to the people of the Mississippi delta,
in the passage Of the flood control
bill. reading kilograms to show that
Vardaman was accorded the honor by
those in authority, for the passage
of that bill through the senate. He
next discussed his services to labor
and his support of prohibition, child
labor laws and other measures,
championed by the women Of the
country. Judge Houston closed his
address with an appeal to the people
to go to the polls on August 10, and
vote for Vardaman, who had been
tried for years and had always been
their friend. At the conclusion of his
speech he was loudly applauded.-
