TO the Democrats Of Hardemaan COatn
ty, Tennessee:
The undersigned, your Execu tive
Committee, desire to impress ear
nestly the Importance of attention
to the democratic primaries on the
4th of August.
Since the last meeting of your
Committee, the democratic and re-
publican parties have held their
conventions, adopted their plat
forms and nominated their candi-
dates; and third party. known as
the Peoples Party, has also held a
convention and nominated candl-
dates for president and vice presi-
dent, and the national campaign is
now fairly opened.
AS there has been some detection
from the Democratic Party to the
Peoples Party, it is especially i'm
pOrtant that all good democrats
should take an earnest and active
interest.
The Democratic Party has only
had one president in thirty years.
and during his tenure of the office
the Republican Party had control
of one of the houses of congress.
Now the Democratic Party has
complete control of one house OF
congress, and the same vote which
will elect our candidate for presi-
dent will insure the control of the
other house, so that If We succeed
in this campaign our party will
have It's first opportunity for thirty
years to control the government and
serve the country by such measures
of reform as are needed and have
been needed for thirty years, so as
to secure government adminlstra
ton in the interest of the whole
people alike, and endeavor to crush
out the infamous system of class
legislation, which is fast destroying
the love and respect of our people
for Its government.
No party can be held responsible
for governmental action unless il
has the power to control it.
In November next we expect to
see the Democratic Party assured OF
control in every department of gov
eminent. fit then fails to do ITS
duty it will deserve political death.
But it will not fail.
All the democrats of the land
are marshalllng for The battle in
November. Let us do our duty
here.
On the 4th of August the demo-
Gratis of Hardeman in every district
have to select their committeeman,
Let each district choose a true and
tiled and Jealous democrat to rep
resent it in said committee.
They will also choose their candi-
date for representative in the leg
islature and express their wishes
as to their representation in con-
gress and in the state legislature in
selection of a senator and hoater in
the election of delegates who will
represent our county in the selec-
ton of these men.
All true democrats should vote
and work for the regular nominees
of the Democratic Party at the
August election.
All democrats should turn out
and vote in the primaries. A dem.
ocrat stands by his party on all
tickets and platforms, national,
state and county. Those who can
not stand by their party throughout
ought not to vote and have no
right to vote in the primaries.
We recommend to the districts
the organization of Democratic
Clubs, and that we should all work
together earnestly and actively for
the success of democratic principles,
and securing the power to garry
them out by having in charge OF
our government those who believe
In these principles and are pledged
to suS tam them.
The following resolution was Of
fered by DR.. I. III. HornsbY and
adopted:
Whereas iC has heretofore been
the custom of the Democratic par
ty in this county to allow each
member of said party to express his
individual choice in the primary
election for congressman, state sem
ator and floater, it is therefore
Ordered by the Committee that
each democratic voter may express
his choice tor congressman, state
senator and fioater at the primaries
on the 4th of August next and those
receiving the greatest number OF
votes shall have the entire vote of
the county In the various conVen.
tons.
DIR. J. D. Sasser offered the fol-
lowing, which was adopted:
In case of failure of committee
man to appoint judges and hold
democratic primaries, any two DEM
