James Kimble Vardaman failed to receive a plurality of votes in the Democratic primary for Governor of Mississippi. Vardaman’s policies against African Americans and his “unquotable vulgarities” have made the election simply between justice and injustice. Vardaman’s opponents, Judge Frank Archibald Critz and Senator Edmond Favor Noel, received more combined votes, and Noel, who finished in third place, has instructed his supporters to vote for Critz.
