BIG GATHERING RESEMBLES
POLITICAL MEETINGS OF OLD

jackson, Miss, Aug. 21.-Leroy
Percy once referred to the supporters
of Senator Vardaman as cattle II
they be cattle they were the cattle
Il from a Thousand hills in Jackson
yesterday. They were housed at the
Heidelberg Hotel but that was too
small and they adjourned to the
Chamber of Commerce and tney
came in such ''droves" that they were
compelled to break coral anu meet
! in the court house. 1t was har-
mony meeting through and through.
There were no obstreperous one but
there was plenty of "pep" and go.
Practically every county in the
state had representatives, some OF
them several.
| One of the sensations of the meet
| ing was the announcement by Judge
Houston that Miss. Kearney's cam
paign manager, Mrs. Clark, desired
to appear before the delegates and
make a statement After round Of
applause that would have delighted
the heart of candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, she spoke
for about a half hour. Paying a
beautiful tribute to Miss Kearney
she stated that if it were possible for
her one vote to elect Miss Kearney
! she would still cast it for her. AS
that was impossible and she must
choose between the other two candl-
dates she had gone over the record OF
the two and had cast her lot with
Senator Vardaman. Among the
things that influenced her decision
was that Vardaman had supported the
things that women had supported.
/ He had champ.cned the rights of the
children, had worked for prohibition
when that was very unpopular issue
with the seasoned politicians, worked
and voted for woman suffrage when
others were trying to defeat it. BY
unanimous vote she was made assist
ant campaign manager for Senator
Vardaman.
Sensation number two came when
one of the delegates presented to the
audience Mr.. Charley Bradley, OF
Flora, Miss Kearney's campaign man
ager to reach the men votes. Mr..
Bradley in appearance reminds one Of
the planter statesman. In his open
ing remarks he gave the audience dis
tinctly to understand that all his po-
litical efforts of the past had been d.
rected toward the defeat of Senator
Vradaman. He had at one time spent
three months of his time and consider.
able money for the opponent of Varda-
man and had supported Oscar Johns
ton for Governor against Governor
Russell. He gave reasons for sup
porting Vardaman in this campaign,
plenty of them. The one that brought
tears to the eyes of many Of the older
men, men that knew from experience
what he was talking about, that Var
daman stood valiantly and heroicai-
ly in the ranks to break up the scala
wag and negro domination of the
4
state. He gave instance after instance
out of his personal experience of out
RACES on helpless women and children
and dramatically asked where was
the Stephens breed in this trying
hour?"
Governor Russell was called for and
was accorded vociferous applause by
the audience. He made rousing
speech. Many other speakers were
accorded the privilege of the floor.
After an all day session the "cattle"
returned to their native heath. N.

about it but while they were discuss
ing the matter they were overheard
by Mrs. E. w. Kracht who with her
husband is stopping there temporarily
and she informed them that she had
found the ring. but owing to the late
ness Of the hour had not turned it in

orlein Of Expression 20. k.n.

The expression 20. K" is COLO
quialism. 1t may be used as noun
or as verb. The origin OF the ex-
preston is. in doubt 1t is sometimes
ascribed to Andrew Jackson as his
humorous abbreviation Of ''oll kor-
rect Gall correct) sometimes to an
Indian chief, Old Keokuk, as his sigma
ture by initials Another possible ORR
gin of the expression was brought to
light in 1909 at the time of the death
of Cornelius Kendall of Chicago. Mr..
Kendall was the youngest son oil Or
rim Kendall, from whose Initials the
use of 80. x" as meaning "all right, :
is said to have sprung. Orrin Kendall,
as the story goes, was member OF
the Chicago board of trade battery
in the Civil war. He also was men,
Der Of the firm of 0. Kendall 4 Sons,
whose bakery was in Chicago. The
firm furnished bread and crackers Tor
the army, and on the crackers were
the initials 80. K" The crackers are
said to have been the only ones the
soldiers relished, and their expression,
''These are all right" later developed
into "These are O. X"
