THAT ENDORSEMENT OF MR.

In his paper, the Hohenwald Herald,
last week, Mr.. Fred l.. Schubert, OF

been passed by the Democratic Execu-

The Abrogation Of the Two-thirds
N RuIe,

Says the Nashville American:
To the Democracy of the Seventh
District belongs the honor of being the
first important body in this State to
declare against the continuation of the
two thirds rule. In 1890 W. G.. Whit
thorne and N. N. Cox were rival can
didates for the Democratic Congress
sional nomination in that district
Back in those days the primary plan of
making party nominations had not
vcntion plan was the popular method
of making party selections, conse-
quently a convention was held On
the first and every succeeding ballot
the vote stood Whitthorne 90, Cox 80.
After days and days of tedious ballot
ing without material change resolu-
ton was proposed by Cox supporter
and passed by the same vote of so to 80
resembling the two-thirds rule and
adopting the majority rule. Cox was
thereupon declared the nominee and
represented the district in Congress for
ten years, when he voluntarily retired.
Occasionally one finds an old time
Democrat who sighs at the passing of
the time honored' two-thirtls rule,
ms the old-time conventions were in
the habit of referring to u custom that
was first thrust upon national con-
vention in order TO prevent u majority
Of the delegates from naming the can
didate for President. but the great
mass of the party rejoice in the pass
ing of a law that was responsible for
many deadlocks. with all attendant
evils to party harmony and discipline
which follow in the wake of long
draw out and frequently bitterly con
tested nominations.

TWENTY OFFICERS
AND men KILLED.
Awful Disaster on Board Ba tie.
ship Missouri Caused by Gun
Explosion.

Pensacola, Fla, April IA. BY the
explosion of 2, 600 pounds of powder in
the after 12-inch turret and in the
handling room of the battleship Mis-
souri,, Capt. William S. Cowles com
manding, twenty men were instantly
killed and five injured, two of whom
will die.
The Missouri was on the target range
with the Texas and Brooklyn at prac-
tice about noon, when charge OF
powder in the 12-inch left hand gun
exploded, ignited from gases, and
dropping below, ignited four charges
of powder in the handling room and
all exploded, and only one man of the
entire turret and handling crew sur
wives.
But for the prompt and efficient
work of Capt. Cowles in flooding the
handling room and magazine with
water one of the magazines would have
exploded and the ship would have
been destroyed.
Lieut.. Hammer, the ordnance Off
Ger, gave out statement of the ex-
plosion and its probable cause. Ac-
cording to him, about noon, after the
pointer of the after 12-inch piere had
fired his string and the second pointer
had fred the third shot of his string.
the charge ignited.
Flames shoot Forth
The fourth shot was being loaded
and from all indications the first half
of the charge had been rammed home
and the second section was being
rammed home when gases from the
shot previously fired, or portions of
the cloth cover, ignited the powder.
The breech was open and dull thud
gave notice of something unusual. No
loud report was made. but flames were
seen to leap from every portion of the
turret. A few seconds afterwards
another explosion, som,sehat fiercer,
occurred. This was in the handling
room below, where 1000 pounds OF
powder, or four charges, ready to be
hoisted above, had ignited. Fire quar-
tiers were sounded and every man OF
the ship responded and the magazine
and handling rooms were flooded with
water. In less than five secon, ) after
the first explosion two streams we're
being placed in the rooms and yolun.
teers were called for, every man of the
ship responded, eager to go into the
turrets and rescue the crew.
Commander Cowles, cool md col
lected, gave his commands and but for
his presence of mind and that of the
officers of the ship, the Missouri would
have gone down. The second explos
ion occurred near one of the magazines
and 80 hot was the fire that the brass
works of the magazines was melted.
Smoke and the fumes of the burning
powder made it almost impossible to
inter either the turret or handling
'oom, but officers and men with hand |
over their faces made efforts
% rescue the men inside.

passed By the committee. did not con-
tain a word about the goodness" of
Mr.. Schubert. either as man or as a
Democrat. These resolutions. our in
formant thinks. originally contained
the clause endorsing Mr.. Schubert as a
good Democrat" and a imam of good
moral character. but seeing they
could not carry in that shape. the; Q
worus were stricken out before the vote
was taken and the resolutions, thus
emasculated. by the narrowest major
ity were allowed to pass.
Our informant further says there is
Considerable indignation that Mr..
Schubert S paper should have given
him an Endorsement which the COM
mittee refused TO give. and that this
little piece of sharp practice" has
intensified and aroused the opposition
to him. and that the dissatisfaction in
Lewis is greater than ever.
Our informant does not care to have
his name in the public print, but If
any good Democrat wants to learn
more of that endorsement for good
democracy and ''good moral charao-
ter which Mr.. Schubert did not get
and if they want to know the names
of the Democratic committeeman who
opposed the resolution, and who will
support any "good Democrat and
man of ''good moral character, - in
preference TO Mr.. Schubert. all he has
to do is to call at this office and ask
for the information.
All this mess comes of the foolish
resolution to rotate the Office of Sena-
tor. Machine politics. Trading Maury
county off to Lewis, in order to place
Lewis under obligations to Maury and

right and power and authority to take
the Senatorial vote out of the hands of

bodily over to just any old thing some
other county may offer, regardless of
his politics, religion, social or moral
That is carrying machine
politics to the limit. That is laying
on the party lash where it hurts. That
is machine politics" that the people
will not stand. And our correspondent
from Lewis very correctly says we
ought not in this way to endanger the
success Of the Democratic party; we
ought not to give our enemy all the
advantage of us; we ought not to do
so radical thing as to nominate a
bolter, and encourage others to bolt.

political agreements, he says,
"should be kept inyiolate. That
depends, The people are under nc
obligation to keep inviolate an agree
ment made without their authority,
sanction or consent. To argue that a
political convention, called for one
purpose, may widen the scope of their
authority to any extent and bind the
people, is simply to turn everything
over to the machine. To argue that
delegates, chosen and empowered to

may, without the semblance of author

themselves the right to fix things fol
eight years to come, is going beyond
anything of the kind we have ever

do this; delegates sent from the several
counties ''in representative ca

was nominated, voted their entire
strength against it. 1t was unex-
pected, unnecessary, uncalled for, il
1t was mistake in policy,
it is pernicious in theory, dangerous,
hurtful and unpopular. When the dis
