already reached are most encouraging.
He is certainly going to win if the dem

No one can truthfully charge that
Brownlow ever violated trust, or fail

the interest of his district; as proof of
the way in which he has cared for the
people and his district, we have evil
dences all around us. The honest vot-

what he has accomplished, and return
him to congress that he may continue

any man who would buy q vote, steal a

advise, encourage or assist others to do
so, as Brownlow has done in the late
election for Judge of this circuit, and
as he has often done before, has violat-
ed the most sacred trusts that can be
confided to a congressman by his con-
stituents, and has laid the axe at the
very root of their most precious treas

purity of their government.
The honest voter, if he be intelligent,

All democrats should be sure to vote
in the coming election. The republi-
cans are in row among themselves,
and they will all vote, and the margin
in this county is not so great that we
can afford to take any chances on the
result, and above all and we must not al
low ourselves to be hoodwinked into
swapping off our nominees. Any dem
ocrat who enters into any arrangement
with the republicans, by which nomi-

traitor to the party, and should be, and

ORDER FROM ROOSEVELT.
Soliciting or Receiving Political COntri-
buttons From Federal Employees Is
Prohibited by Civil Service Act.

Washington, October 1S.-President
Roosevelt today issued the following
executive order:
"On request of the civil service COM
mission, the attorney general has sub
mitted to me the following opinion:
"The question presented is covered
by section XI, of the civil service act,
which prohibits members of congress
or territorial delegates of the congress,
or members of congress and delegates
elect, or any officer or employe of con-
gress, or any executive, Judicial, mill
tary or naval officer of the United
States, or any clerk or employee Of any
department, branch or bureau Of the
United States government from directly
or indirectly, soliciting or receiving or
being in any manner concerned in So
Letting or receiving any assessment,
subscription or contribution for any
political purpose whatever from any Of
ficer, clerk, or employe of the United
States, or any department, branch or
bureau thereof, or from any person re-
ceiving any salary or compensation
from monies derived from the service
of the United States.
"All who are in the government SER
vice are thus protected against the pos
slbility of actual coercion and from that
of the coercion implied in the relation
of the persons soliciting or receiving to
the government or implied in solicita-
ton or receipt in public office; but
congress did not attempt to prohibit
solicitation by or payment to persons
not in the government service other
wise than in the government Offices.
SIT is also pertinent to notice section
IA of the act, viz: That no officer, clerk,
or person in the service of the United
States or any senator or representative
or any territorial delegate receive any
money or any valuable thing on &C
count of or to be applied to the promo
ton of any political object, whatever.
"Your power to direct, by appropri
!, ate order, under the madates of these
sections, all persons in the executive
service of the United States is clear"
: I hereby call the attention of all of
ficers and employees in the federal sery
ice to the foregoing opinion and war;
: them that the provisions of law al
| therein construed are to be by then
obeyed and enforced. Any official il
the federal service may without jeop
ardy to his official standing contribute
or not exactly as he pleases, provided
he obeys the sections of the civil serv
: ice act above referred to.

Editor Lyle is making the campaign
lively for the "Big Boss" The repub-
licans have been trying to get him to
discuss the issues Of the campaign with
some one other than their candidate,
but Cyrus insists ii must be Brownlow
or none, and the latter does not seem
inclined to agree to this. If the demo-
Gratis Of the district will come out and
vote for their candidate he will certain
ly be elected. There has not been as
favorable prospects for electing a dem
ocrat to congress from this district for
thirty years as at the present time.
Don't be cajoled or bought up with
promises of federal buildings and rural
delivery mail routes; you will get just
as many if Lyle represents you. Vote
for principle, not for pay -Rogersville
Review.
Brownlow's vigorous campaigning
shows how serious he regards the stu
alton. If a man has to speak at every
cross roads and promise a mail route to
one member of every family in order to
get elected in district where his nor
NAL majority would be ten thousand, il
is time the people should lay him on
the shelf. If the democrats will do az
much to defeat Brownlow as the large
number of republicans, who are oppos-
ing him will do, then it is all over but
the shouting. Now, wouldn't it be {
treat to see the Brownlow crowd the
morning after the election if the boss
should get showed under? Last Mon
day morning the rural mail carriers
had Brownlow's circulars announcing
his date in Greeneville fastened to theil
hats in front as they passed out to de
liver their mail. II the peoples candi
date, Mr.. Lyle, should be elected, ant
it looks like he will, it would be re
freshing to see the variegated visageI

If politics is to destroy the principle OF
equality. He is for the classes against
he masses - for the ofice-holders
against the people.
co He would destroy your liberty
ending himself, as he does, to the
practice of using an army Of office
holders to control, shape, and over
ride the wishes of the people.
(3) He is a tyrant-as many of the
office-holders in this district know,
when they are forced to put up money
out of their salaries to be used for cam
paign purposes.
(4) He is a breaker and despiser of
the law, for IT IS A LAW that govern
ment employees shall NOT be asked by
congressman and any United States
officials to contribute to campaign
funds, and he does ask and does re-
quire said Office holders to contribute.
(5) He encourages and coerces others
to break the law, since he requests and
requires office-holders to 90 out and
engage actively in politics, which the
statutes of the United States forbid.
Co He advocates and uses that spe-
cies of practical politics which will
turn our government into an oligarchy,
the worst of all tyrannies, and cut us of
from all chances to go on untrammelleC
in the pursuit of happiness.
CD He repudiates the principle tina
government must depend upon the con
sent of the governed, because:
(a) He packs conventions with hi
office-holders, men that do his bidding
on account of the positions he has OBJ
tanned for them, and these tools of hi
put up the men you are asked to vot
for.
(b) He resorts to bribery and corrup
ton, thus binding the eyes and mind
Of the weak and erring, and so foistin,
upon us selections made by the mos
vicious of our citizens.
Co He misleads honest men by plau
sible and sugared untruths.
(d) By a combination of office hold
ers and would-be office-holders AM
machine politicians he overrides tn
will of the people.
Brownlow will deny this,
But actions speak louder than words
AS instance;
The people wanted Harmon for iudg
of this circuit, but Brownlow and hi
machine refused him the nomination.
The people arose in their wrath an,
elected him, but the ring stole the re
turns and counted him out.
Mr.. Brownlow says he has gotten tw,
millions of dollars for this district an,
will get more. This is only true il
part but, suppose he gets fifty mil
lions, will that suffice for the loss O
equality, liberty, the means for tn
pursuit of happiness, and the turnin,
of our government into an oligarchy-
the rule of the masses by the classes
This man has outraged the manhoo,
of East Tennessee; nay, of the Who'll
state and nation; and if we have lef
in us any of the spirit of our forefather
we will rise up and vote for Cy H. Lyl
