Ttnteds no assurance to the DEM
oerats OF Maury County that The
HERALD viii support the nominees
of q Democratic convention. TIE
HERALD is simply built that way. II
will not only support them, but Will
work for them and give whatever IN
fiuence it may have to their election.
Neither the nominee for the Senate,
the Hon. w. J. WhitthOrne, nor the
nominee for the lower house, Judge |
w. II. Nelson, was the choice OF THE
HERALD before the convention, but
they are none the less THE HRR-
AIDS candidates now. Whatever
differences we may have had are set
tied by all Of us standing alike upon
a common Democratic platform.
These gentlemen are committed TO
the Democratic platform, both state
and national; they are instructed by
cheir creative power who they shall
vote fo- for the United States Senate;
they are Democrats and regular DEM
ocratic nominees, and are entitled to
the loyal support of every Democrat
ic voter in this county or this Sena-
tOrial district.
Mr.. Whitthorne has made a record
in the Leg :slature of which even his
enemies speak with praise. AS an
intelligent, active, effective working
member, he was second to no man
i'm the House when he was there.
He is a man of brains, culture and
education, and will no sooner take
his seat in the Senate than he will
easily make himself recognized az
a leader in that Honorable body.
Mr.. Nelson will be in the House,
as he is in this county, highly rep
resentative man. He is a man OF
fine sense, splendid judgment and
ste cling honesty, His Democracy
the HERALD has never questioned,
because it has never had any reason
to question it. We repeat what we
, have often said before, that there are
as good Democrats in the Alliance az
can be found out OF it. Webb Nelson
ia one of them. The fact that be il
an Allianoeman has absolutely moth
ing to do with his race, any more
: than Judge Turney not being al
l Allianceman has to do with his race
1 They are both regular Democratic
nominees; they are both men o.
l merit and unimpeachable honesty
and they both deserve the full vOt'
r of their party.
In this connection we think i
/ proper to criticize an editorial ut
terance we find in the Curren
| to-day.
Speaking of the light vote cast a
: the primaries in this county for Judg
) Turney, the Current says: 1.-THE oppo
t sition was not to him per sc, but to hin
= as q representative of q class, q fac
s ton in the Democratic party, and
I? means that the people intend,-if pos
/ sible, to defeat that faction. A dec
4 laration and a refusal to vote in tn
n primary, means that they will nc
e vote the ticket ia November. ++*
:, means that they will vote for tn
e Third party, the Prohibition party
= or even for the Republican nomine
e to defeat the so-called upper case, q
e represented by the American an
l. other Turney press"
Y II this utterance had been mad
e before Judge Turney's nomination
s we might have construed it as a
IS ill advised and petulent proteE
,- Il; 70 IN Pnf Rnn0 in
e as it does after he is the reguls
-e standard bearer of Democracy, "
take it as q wilful and intentions
effort to disrupt the Democratic part
in this county.
The Currents conclusion is as falls
as it's purpose is wicked. The A
lianeemen, as q rule, who did nC
D. vote in the primaries for Governo
&c will vote for Judge Turney. We pre-
er icate this statement and this fail
u upon the testimony of allianceme
le who, we trust, are as well informe
~ as to the intentions of the AlliaL'
~ Democrats, as the Current is infOfn
r ed az to the purposes of the Allian'
u Third partyites.
NE The editor of the Current, no douh
w gets his information from the bus
W ness manager, who is the Allan

has openly announced that he woI
