Those Democrats who are claiming
that Judge Bishop should be elected
Judge because he has been in Office
for eighteen years would do we'll to
read the following plank in the Chi
,ago platform adopted last week:
eve are opposed to life tenure in
he public services. We favor ap-
based upon merits, fixed
erms of Office, and such an admins
ration of the civil service laws as
will afford equal opportunities to all
'itizes OF ascertained fitness"
The man who has been in office
until he has grown old and feeble
hould step aside and let some new
nd vigorous man take his place.
life tenure in Office is just as objec-
ionable in State offices as it is in
ederal positions.
Mr.. j. j. Glenn, one of the editors
f the Madisonville Hustler, will be
larried tomorrow at Murfreesboro,

ill return to Madisonville the fol-
wing day. Bro. Glenn has been
,idower for several years. The boys !
the press-and we old veterans
ever get too old to call each other {
oys-will all congratulate him on
lie step he is taking.
