TO THE DEMOCRACY
Of the 9TH Congressional District of
the State OF Tennessee.

VI the Ith congressional District OF
the State OF Tennessee.
The Lawrence Union, the only Re-
publican paper published in this Dis
trict, is strongly advocating the election
of Capt. Russell to Congress.
In its editorial columns it uses the
following arguments and reasons to
prompt the Republicans unanimously to
support him.
"The Republican Congressional Com
mittee at Columbia last week unani-
mously endorsed Capt. j. II. RUSSELL of
Maury county, as our candidate for
Congress. We heartily approve the
action of the committee and shall give
Capt Russell our earnest support.
Republicans throughout the entire dis
trict should take the same view of this
endorsement. The gentleman is we'll
known and needs no recommendation
from US. He has served the people be-
fore and gave good account of him
SELF He is progressive and looks to the
future. If elected, he will stand by the
administration in it's foreign policy, in
which the whole country, especially the
South, is so deeply interested. He
stands for 100 cent dollar. He can be
elected and the Union appeals to the
Republicans of the district TO give him
their solid support on November g."
1.-THE name of Capt. j. H. Russell
must appear on every Republican ballot
cast in this congressional district on
November 6. While it is true he is
making the congressional race as an in
dependent candidate, republicans must
remember he is being opposed by
democratic nominee, who represents
Organism in every sense of the word,
and that the failure of a republican to
vote for Capt. Russell, will be one. half
vote for the Democratic candidate.
Don't be misled, brother republicans,
but vote the printed ticket that will be
given you on election day from top to
bottom without scratch"
"If Joseph H. RUSSELL is elected to
Congressman the chances are mighti
bright that he will winnie will never
vote with party that fayors the repeal
of those tariff and monetary laws that
are responsible for our present and un-
precedented prosperity"
From the above it appears that the
official organ of the Republican party
in this district makes the following
statements:
1st.-THAT CAPT. RUSSELL "IF
ELECTED WILL STAND BLYTHE AID
MlNISTRATION IN IT'S FOREIGN
POLICY"
2nd.-"THAT HE WILL NEVER
VOTE WITH A PARTY THATFAvORS
THE REPEAL OF THE TARIFF AND
MONETARY LAWS"
That is equivalent to stating that he
will favor the Republican party and
oppose the Democratic party on every
vital issue. The trusts, combines and
monopolies in this country are the re-
suits of the Republican tariff laws, and
as long as these laws remain rs they are,
trusts, combines and monopolies will
thrive and fasten themselves on the
people.
That Capt. RUSSELL is in sympathy
with the Republican party and antago-
nistic to the Democracy is manifest be-
cause this is his fourth race against the
Democratic nominees seeking to break
up the Democratic organization. What
more could straight out Republican
) do to break down and destroy the
Democracy and its very existence, than
to support the Republican administra.
ton in it's foreign policy, its tariff policy,
and its financial policy.
