loyalty to party of Congressman
James Phelan in the hour of peril to

forgotten by the true blues of the
Tenth Congressional District. Ittook
no little devotion to party and cour-
age to do as he did in turning deaf
ear to the boilers who wanted to sup
port him and scratch the rest of the
ticket, to declare that he did not want
their vote but would go to victory or
defeat with the regulars. But he did
it, though it may cost him many
votes and Tennessee honOrs him for
it. He will go at once actively to
work and if other public men do as
he has there will be no question as to
the result it will be a glorious vie

All the Democrats, National and
State, great and small, old and young,
join in the shout, except the Clarks-
vile Democrat and the minority in
the convention held in Montgomery
county. Democrats Of Montgomery
county; who will you follow, and
upon which side will you fight ?
Will you follow this minority in the
convention who approved of the
platform before it was presented to
the convention, never finding fault
with one word of it, and who voted |
