 PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS,
 .4doptsd 5y both Houses of he General Assembly of he State of Tennessee, nominating he Loa. HucH LAWSON WHITE as C candidate tortke Pres ideney ofthe Upited States.
 WHEREAS, the people of the State of Tennessee in 1922, in 1895, and again in 1927, animated by a sincere determination 10 support those cardinal doctrines and principles which had distinguished the true ucrepublican party from the commencement fofthe Federal Government up to that period, and also to correct and reform those practices which appeared to be erroneous and to constitute abuses in the policy and administration of the goyernn sn brought forward General Andrew Jackson. our present distinguished Chief Magistrate, as d person qualified by his principles, energy and great popu- arty, to effect those objects. Aud soAer9as among the most mportantof those objects were-ist. To secure to the people the exercise ofsufage in tho n the election efthe President of the United Sates. independent oi the influence and dictaon ot eau GUS nominations. 2d. To resist the establishment oi the practice of eieejihg the President the Un ted States accordngto any plan of regular success sion among the great lunctionaries of the govern ment. 3d. The limitation and control of executive patronage within such safe and cxpedient boaaas as to secure the freedom and purity o the elective franchise against all undue official influences. And e011e1tuSs WE elie lilHt pGisudueu that tile prACi pies upon which General Jackson was originally nominated and supported for the Presidency by the people ofthe State of Tennessee, have lost mo- thing ofther truth or importance by the lapse Of time and change of circumstances, we feel impcl- led by a proper regard for consistency now when again called upon to reconsider them in reference to the choice of successor, to re-afirm them by a renewed and solemn declaration.
 In the organization aad proceedings of the late Baltimore Convention we perceive the same viola ton of the spirit of the Constitution, the same ten dency to usufpaton ofthe rights aud powers oT the people in the election of President, the same spirit of intrigue, the same liability in the members to be corrupte and influenced in their course by the promise and expectation of office, which we saw in the organization and proceedings of the Con- gressonal caucus in 1923, and then condemned in the most public and solemn manner.
 And vhereas, no individual has been presented to the consid eration ofthc American People as a candidate for the next Presidency, whose eharac- ter and political opinions afford the same euaran- ty for the maintenance of those principles which brought General Jackson into office, and for car rying out the principal measures of his aIfif.istFa tion, and which 50 We'll accord with the political sentiments of the people of Tennessee as set forth in this preamble, as our fellow citizen Hucu LAW SON HITE-thcreforc,
 Resolued, That Huam LAWSON WHrTE be recommended to the people of the United States as man emlnently qualified to fill the office off President.
 RssolDed, That we approve generally of the principles and policy; both foreign and domestic, ofthe administration oft Federal Government during theterm ofseryice ofour present distinguish ed Chief Magistrate, General Andrey Jackson
