ton of the Democratic Candidate for

toriaI District, at the election to be

ties of Lewis and Perry be and the

And, whereas, Fred l.. Schubert

held for that purpose in Lewis County
as the choice of the Democracy OF
Lewis County as their candidate for
State Senator at the next election. ana
whereas this nomination has been
regularly endorsed by the Democratic

of a primary election which shall be
held in Maury County for the purpose
of giving instruction as to whom the
Senator and Representatives shall vote
for United States Senator, upon date
to be fixed by this Committee
Major Whitthorne spoke briefly In
favor of the rest lutions. He said the
county was divided between Senator
Bate and Gov. McMillin. and the peo-
pie ought to be allowed to express their
choice between them at a primary
election. He was opposed to any
mass meeting. There was too much
opportunity for manipulating it. As
a Bate man, he would cheerfully abide !
the wishes of the people. He said the
friends of the candidates would bear
the expense of a primary.
So far as Mr.. Schubert was concerned, |
he was not the man he (Whitthorne) |
would have selected but he had been |
endorsed by Perry and Lewis counties, |
and it was no new precedent 10 endorse !
candidates by committees. Having |
conceded the nomination to Lewis |
county. their choice should not he OPP |
posed by Many county, Maury coun-
tv, he said, is honestly committed to
the endorsement of Mr.. Schubert He |
had been endorsed by his own county |
over his opphent by q vote of two 10
one. He said he for one was willing TO |
risk Lewis county's choice.
J. A. Baker opposed the resolutions. !
He thought it ought to he left to the
people to say who they would endorse. |
The people have as much right to say |
who shall go to the State Senate as
they have TO say who shall go to the
United States Senate. He said he was
not there to voice his own sentiments
