Pat Harrison at Amory
Through the kindness cf Dr.
Miller and daughters, it was out
good fortune to hear Pat Harri
son's speach at Amory Monday
afternoon. Pat wa3 at his best,
and well he might be, for the
outpouring of people to hear him
was sufficent to encourage one
much less optimistic. We will
not attempt to tell you how
many people were there for w" e
simply have no idea. Several
times we tried to estimate the
crowd, but each time we merely
viewed a sea of faces without
being able to see the outer
bounds. We did estimate the
number of automobiles parked
near the grounds at Io0, which
mu3thave brought some 2000
people. At any rate more
people were present than could
jjet near enough to hear . the
speaker. -
Mr. Harrison was introduced
by Mr. Lowe, a former Varda
man of Nettleton, who told his
.hearers why he is not now
supporting the Junior Senator,
lie denyed having left the sena
tor but claimed the senator left
the flag. He paid a high tribute
to Mr. Harrison and condemned
many official act3 of Senator
Vardaman. He said that he had
jread of all that . Senator Varda
' man had done and said and that
do where did he find where the

Hon. Pat Harrison
OUR CHOICE FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
It has never been the policy of the present management cf
Messenger to espouse the cause of any candidate for any office,
and still further from us has been any factional alignment in
politics. In coming out for Pat Harrison for U. S. Senate we
believe we are still within our set course, be:au?e, as we under
stand the situation, there is a very great principle involved in the
'er.atorial rnce. Mr. Harrison stands, and has always stood, for
American rights as understood and contended for by our fathers;
his chief opponent, Senator Vardaman, has even suggested - that
American rights be suspended to meet the German menace. Pal
'Harrison has stood pat with this government and done team work
with other members of his party; Jim Vardamsn has often opposed
the administration and voted with the Republican party. It is
-imply a question of endorsing President Wilson's course or ' the
course of Germany. It's for Mississippi to make the choice.
Senator had ever raised his voice
against Germany to .condemn
but that he had indicted his own
government along with some O'
our allies.
When Mr. Harrison arose he
received an ovatian, it being
several minutes before he could
proceed. Quite being restored;
he launched into his usual speech
comparing his record in Congress
with that of the Junior Senator
nd told o,f the reasons which
ted him to enter the race. He
paid his respects quite freely to
iome recent utterences of his
opponent and in no uncertain
way stated his position relative
to these matters.
It is evident that the crowd
was with him from the very
beginning. A few men went to
the speaking avowedjand out
spoken advocates for the other
man .but went away wearing
Harrison badges. One man who
refused such a badge at first be
fore tha speaking hunted up the
girls and secured a badge. An
pthpr who refused a badge , to
begin with later picked up a lost
ribbon and pinned it on himself.

Letter from Rev. O'Briant
347 Madison avenue,
Headquarters Y. M. C. A.
New York City.
This will be my address 'till
the 20th at least and may be
a great deal longer. We can't
tell. There are 400 men in our
conference vyhich is the 9th. I
think at least 25 of these are
from good old Mississippi.
We have been studyiug French,
doing all kinds of arithmetics
and now to drill in our uniforms
three hours a day until we go
..at
over. It is great to De nere, n
such a thing can be great at this
time. The most unselfish set of
men I was ever thrown with ih
my life, in fact every loyal
American is unselfish. A selfish
man is doomed as well as a -sel
fish nation. We are optimistic
about it all. We believe ' ab
solutely in -the God -who will
direct this thing to a finish.
Right will come off conqueror,
It may take a good while.
Anybody who cares to write
me, 347 Madison avenue, Head
quarters Y; M. C. A., 'New York,
will be delivered and I will be
.lad to hear from my many
friends.
Mrs. O'Briant. the liftle girl
and myself certainly appreciate
our frien.is in Okolona. and 1
-ould not show it any more vitaf
and substantial way than to do
exactly what I ank vdoing. ; The
church ought to be able to goon
and if about one dozen good men
could go out from it and help in
a more sacrifical way to win this
great war for God and humanity,
the church would not be hurt
but helped.
I thank everybody for what
they have done. God bless and
keep. A. L. O.Briant.

Nation-Wide Preparedness
ITorth, South, East, West all working to put
the Nation in fighting trim!
Army and Navy departments and districts,
camps, yards, coast-guard stations, light houses,
munition, constructionand textile plants all co
ordinating to mould the vast organization into an
effective homogeneous force! And" in this enor
mous task the country's telephone network has
beeri and will continue to be the great indispen
sable agent of communication.
The Bell system has enlisted every resource
at its command and offered all unreservedly to
the government.
This, together with the immensely increased
commercial demand for service, the general short
age of materials, and the enlistment and draft of
a large number of technically trained employes
who cannot be replaced, will, it is hoped, be borne
in mind by every loyal American if there should
later result the necessity for subordinating private
convenience to the pressing needs of the govern
ment. We are not sitting idly by' and waiting for a
bright day when our money can buy equipment.
We are using every means at our command to
keep our service up to its usual high standard,
you will want to help because you will be helping
your own service and enabling us to do a better
job for Uncle Sam.
We appreciate co-operation.
