man-Russell resolutions which
were prepared to be offered for
adoption by the recent , State
Democratic convention. Because
it was learned that a secret cau
cus of the opposing political fac
tion, which by adroit maneuver
ingsinthe beat elections, though
normally in the minority, had
managed to get itself in the ma
jority at the convention, had re
solved to use "gag method tac
tics," these resolutions were
never filed with the Resolutions
Committee, but were given pub
licity a week before the national
convention met in San Francisco.
The platform of principles and
record of achievements of the
Democratic party, adopted by
the National Democratic Con
vention is so nearly like those
principles and felicitations of the
party's achievements prepared by
the Vardaman-Russell delegates
that it shows them to have al
ways been in full accord with
the platform of Democratic prin
ciples so recently re-enunciated
J by the highest tribunal of the
party, and established them as the
real, Jeffersonian, constitutional
democrats of Mississippi.

tions were published in full in

ment.
In a cfontest between the adyo
cates of a one man's government
and government by the Con
stitution, thrashed out in the
National Convention at San
Francisco, theadvocates of Con
stitutional government won and
formulated a platform upon which
all democrats may stand and
fi2ht the adversaries o f true
democratcy to the finish.
If there is any chagrin or dis
aooointment i n the ranks of
Mississippi democrats, it is not
among the Jeffersonian group
1 his group, representing the
maioritv of white people in the
State, is entirely satisfied with
what was done at San Francisco,
though the group was tricked out
of any representation in the
National Convention.
The Democratic platform and
the Democratic candidates who
are standing upon it will receive
the loyal and united support of
all true democrats in Mississippi
to the end that victory may be
achieved, and that democratic
principles may prevail.
Honorable D. VVY Houston,
of Aberdeen.
The following merited tribute
to the worth and character of
Monroe's native son, stalwart
democrat and leading citizen,
copied from Vardaman's Weekly
of July. 1st instant, will be read
with interest and peculiar grati
fication by his numerous friends
throughout the State.
The men who know Tudge
Houston best do not believe that
he aspires to any political office,
or that his activities in promoting
good government in the cause of
the people is inspired by motives
of personal interest. Neverthe
less, interest unselfishly displayed
by any citizen in contending for
thing that are fair and democratic
necessarily brings that citizen
into the range of a public de
mand for his services in places of
high authority whether he wills
it or not, or however disinterest
ed from a personal standpoint
those activities may have been.
Those who know Judge Hous
ton intimately, doubt if he would
consent to become the candidate

branch of the party as being anti-
Wilson. This was done by them
in contra distinction to them
selves, who held to the trend to
wards a one man's government,
which assumed dangerous pro
portions under the extraordinary
powers held and exercised by
President Wilson duriug and
since the war.
The Jeffersonian democrats
only clamored for a return to
Constitutional government, and
on their part that he should be
come their candidate:
"A friend writes me: 'They are
talking about men for governor. Why
not Judge D.W. Houston, of Aber
deen? He meets the Jeffersonian
standard iu every respect he is hon
esthe is capable and he i9 faithful
to the people of Mississippi.'
My friend describes Judge Hous
ton accurately. To beein with he is
honest, fearless, patriotic, faithful
to his God, loyal to his country and
devoted to his family. Every drop
of blood that courses through his
veins is in sympathy with the plain.
honest white people of Mississippi.
He knows the people of the state
as few men know them. He loves
them as few men love them, and
whetherjin the office of Governor, on
the bench or in private life his efforts
are all dedicated to their service.
The writer has known Judge Hous
ton for many years. He has had an
opportunity to study him in all the
relations of life, and I can truthful
ly sajT that the elements are so mix
ed in him. that nature might stand
up and say to all the world He is
a man.' I have seen him in the
depths of pessimism when the low
ering clouds of disappointment al
most smothered his subduel soul,
and then I have seen him come
torth wun optimism us raaiant as
sunlight Defeat gives him strength
and the righteousness of au3' cause
that he espouses stimulates hope
for the future of his state and the
republic.
He is
One who never turns his back,
But marches breast forward:
Never doubts clouds will break;
Never dreams though right were
worsted wrong would triumph.
Hold9, we fall to rise, baffled to flgnt
better;
Sleep to wake.
He understands the great prob
lems confronting Mississippi and
"bur country, and in the solution of
those problems he never permits
self-interest to sway him from the
path of rectitude and right thinking.
He is a friend without variable
ness or shadow of turning, and if it
should be vour misfortune to be his
oe, you can rely upon him always
doing the brave and honorable
thing.
cut the great trounie about my
correspondent s suggestion, is that
JUDGE HOUSTON HAS NO POLITICAL
aspirations whatever He enjoys
a lucrativeHaw practice, is happily
situated at home and I do not think
hat any office would tempt him to
change his life. I have never known
one to take as lively interest in pol
itics as he does who was as thor-.
oughly devoid of all political aspir
ations as he is. To my mind he is
an ideal citizen and a patriot as
true and loval to his state as ever
ived in the best days of the Greek
civilization. Hin friendship is an in
spiration and his example a sure
euide. In my estimation he stands
famong the men of Mississippi
"As some tall cliff that lifts its awful
form
Swells from the vale and midway

Though round its breast the rolling

Eternal sunshine settles on its head."
