ORGANIZATION WINS.

Our Democrats were really sur.
prised to read that, in the opinion
of the Staff Representative of the
Nashville American, who has &C
companied Frazier and Littleton
since they opened their canvas,
Lawrence was the best organized
Of any county in the State. Most
of us felt that but little had been
done, yet "as ithers see us" our
County is first in the State. This
is a distinction of which we all
feel proud, and not without good
reason. The Democrat has worked
earnestly in season and ont of Sea-
son to bring about Just such an
organization as will give our Coun-
ty its proper prominence in party
councils and affairs, and we make
mo concealment of our elation over
this well-merited commitment. The
great celebration of Friday last
was a feather in the cap of our
splendid Chairman, Capt. 7. H.
Meredith, under whose direction
cur organization was perfected.
The success of the day shows him
to be the right man in just
the right place. In giving "Ecn-
or TO whom honor is due" Mr..
Horace Fricrson should have a
large share. His work on the
Committee on Arrangements, and
as Chief Marshal of the Parade de-
serves most complimentary, men,
ton, nor should his splendid help
ers both on Committee and in the
Parade be overlooked. Their work
was superb. 1t is to.be regretted that
very few of our Eighth District
Democrats outside Of those in COM
mand took part in the parade, but
their delinquence was we'll made
up by the matchless enthusiasm
and concert of the Ethridge, Sum-
mertown, Henryville and West
Point Clubs augmented by in
dividuals from various sources.
Really to these outsiders is due the
success of the Parade in a very
large measure, for without them it
would have been rather q poor af-
fair. But then their Clubs are
older than ours, which is another
proof Of the campaign value of or
ganization. Many and lavish were

tastefully decorated carriage in

BROKEN PLEDGES.

The above was the subject of an |
address, delivered by Mr.. G. IT,
Crawford, at the regular meeting
of the Lawrenceburg Democratic
Club, Saturday night September
~.
The speaker read President
Roosevelt's claim that the plat.
form pledges of the Republicans,
in 1896 and 1900 had been "scru-
pulously fulfilled" and the Re-
publican Campaign Text Books
reckless REPETITION of the claim,
and then proceeded to show how
utterly unsound it was by reading
from the platforms the following
unfulflled pledges
The platform of 1895 promised
reciprocity, and the administration
of the Republican party has made
no effort to carry out this pledge.
In 1896 the platform promised
to promote the free coinage of
!silver Ply international agreement"
and now are not only not making
any endeavor to promote the free
coinage of silver, but Indignantly
deny that they will have it on any
terms.
The same platform promised
that Union veterans would be Civ
ell preference in the matter Of APP
pointment to Office. The speaker
cited many cases where this pledge
had been wantonly and brutally
violated, and his statement that
"wherever the claims of an old
: Union veteran and a "nigger" came
in conflict, the veteran lost out
. and the "nigger," got the office, y
was greeted with vocifelous ap
, lplause.
The Republican party promised
lin 1896 to honestly enforce TIL
! civil service law. He showed tina
t the violation of this pledge hat
n been SO frequently and fragrant a
r to make the old spoils system re
. spectacle in comparison.
In 1896 the Republican part.
: promised national board of arbi
tration. No effect whatever ha
d been made to redeem this pledge,
In 1893 and 1900 the platform
n promised the admission of Okla
homa, Indian Territoy, New Mex
co and Arizona TO the Union. TIL
Republican Congress has ignore
9 this pledge by repeatedly refusin
II them admission.
e In 1896 representation in Cor
# gress was promised Alaska. Thi
. promise is unfulflled.
In 1900 the Republican part
l. promised to "restrict and prevent
n all trusts that create monopoliel
|. and Notwithstanding their gull
n has been proven in the courts til
# one preventive in the law-th
criminal clause--has never bee
in voked against them.

that it was with much regret that he
WAS forced to announce that owing to

that his friends here are sorry that
they cannot hear him and / know the
Democrats are disappointed. He is
mighty clever fellow and we have had
very agreeable campaign down in
West Tennessee and l had hoped to
have him with me through Middle

A Number of the leading Republicans
of the county, including Capt. Joe P.
Kidd, John Schade Jr., and G. w.
Sweeney, occupied seats on the speak
er's stand and heard the Democratic
candidate with great interest during
his entire speech. The many Repub-
licans in the audience were among the
Governors most attentive hearers.
DEMOCRATIC APPLAUSE.
! The Democrats literally applauded
+, the Governor throughout his speech,
which did not differ materially from
that delivered when in joint debate
with his opponent. Gov. Frazier was
in perfect voice and while not as Wig
orous and hardly rs eloquent as on
the day before at Huntingdon, he
easily held the undivided attention Of
his hearers throughout. The Governor:
declaration that he had never raised
the race issue and could beat his OPP
ponent 100000 votes and never say
"nigger" aroused great enthusiasm
His statement that he stood for whit,
mans government also ELECTED cheers.
The Governors defense Of the Adam
law was loudly cheered. The tenn
perance measure is popular one il
Lawrence County, and from expression
heard to-day it seems certain that tn
Democratic ticket will gain more tenn
lperance Republican votes than it vii
: lose liquor Democratic votes. Both Mr.
McLaurine the nominee for the Senate
and Mr.. Patterson, the candidate for tn
I House, are pledged to the support Q
the Adams law.
The Governor covered fully all til
issues raised by Mr.. Littleton, repea
ing many of the latters arguments i
Il order to answer them, stating that L
was trying 10 bold up both ends Of IL
debate: He evoked laughter when i
= said that he was having nearly .
It much trouble with his opponents en-
e oft as Littleton did every day. II
