admiringly for time, and presently
he ventured to ask this question "Mr.

The Young Man in Politics.

If the nation would remain free, its
young men must be the most impor-
tant factors in its politics and its par
ties. They alone possess the element
which overturns rings and upsets com
binations and all other artificial crea-
tions for the suppression OF popular
sentiment, They alone possess that
quality so necessary at times where
audacity leads caution, and imagina-
tion and enthusiasm command judg-
ment. The day that makes such a
distaste for politics and public life,
such disappearance OF activity in
the affairs Of the State and of the
Government, as will make it bad form
and unpopular for young men to be
active, will mark the decadenCe to be
followed by the overthrow of the lib
critics of the country-From Orations

Relonging to No Rinns.

We published today an interview
held with Hon. Jere Baxter, and we
call especial attention to it. It's the
utterance OF manly man. He is a
man of integrity and honor, and has
always been loyal to democratic prin-
ciples. He is a farmer and has in
vested largely in farming lands, and
carries on farming on large scale,
often following the plow himself, He
has brought millions of dollars into
thesstate to build mp different enter
prises, which gave work to thousands
OF people. He does not belong to any
ring or clique, but is simply running

his aspirations he will make the best

Jere Baxter's Candidacy.

The candid announcement OF Jere
Baxter as candidate for governor is
characteristic OF the man. When Mr..
Baxter wants anything he is not afraid
to ask for it. He never shoots from
behind a tree. While Mr. Baxter
does not claim preferment on account
OF any very great and particular party
service, he has always been a strong
democrat, and has in quiet way
done a great deal Of work for the
party. Mr.. Baxter has devoted his
life TO business instead of politics, and
it is his tried and proven business
capacity which fits him SO well for the
high Office which he now seeks. By
his untiring energy and keen business
fore sight he has made a success in
private life, and, while yeta young
man, has brought himself up from a
poor boy to command the respect of
the business world. Mr.. Baxter is
now devoting his attention to agricul-
tural pursuits, and is,one of;themost ex-
tensive ard successful farmers in the
south. Hidambition is to bringIthe state
of Tennessee to a high standard in
agricultural and general development,
and place it at the head OF the list Of
prosperous states of the union, and in
our opinion he is the man to accom-
plish this end. With his extensive ex-
perience in both finances and in agri-
culture and his extensive acquaint-
ance in the east he is well fitted tc
improve the agricultural interests Of
the state and at the same time draw
attention to our natural and unde'
veloped resources, and with it capital
which is necessary to the development
of these resources. The interests OF
the people of this state demand sound
business guidance more than politi'
cal trickery, In our opinion success
full and honest private career is a
better recommendation to man who
seeks the executive chair than re-
cord of political stump speeches
