The cry of "anybody to beat Vardaman" (Percy, fritz, Anderson, Byrd, Kyle, Alexander, any dark horse, any obscure man, anybody, to beat Vardaman) was not to be met or pacified, or silenced, by any arguments of moderation or conservatism. It was a cunningly devised scheme, but the mask was too thin to hide the sinister purpose that lay coiled behind it, ready to strike like a snake in the grass.

She was nervous cions or distrust, much less for the scandals that have marked the serpent-like trail of the secret ballot. There is nothing in the whole proceedings that more clearly demonstrates the fact that the people of the State were backing Governor Vardaman with a powerful public sentiment, than the resort to the secret ballot, and the Gibbs resolution. The men who were for Vardaman were not afraid of an open vote; they wanted no screen to protect them against popular sentiment. Who are the men, who wanted to fight in the dark, from ambush, and behind a friendly screen that would shield their action from publicity?
