THE CARMACK TAYLOR
CONTEST,

Bob Watkins, an old Alabama boy
who went to Washington some twelve
years apo, and is now one OF the best
known special correspondents in the
Capitol CITY, writes to the Nashville
American as follows:
"0f the various Senatorial contests
/ for terms that end in March, 1907,
none has excited mere interest In
/ Washington than that between Senator
/ Calmack and former Gov Robert L..
| Taylor. 1t is especially interesting TO
the hundreds of TenneSseans in Wash
ington in and out of the departments
A straw vote here would elect Carmack
overwhelmingly. The Washington con-
tingeut OF Tennesseans have had %.
portunity to see what sort of Senator
CaImack has made, and they believ e
greater distinction awaits him.
The following from an article in
, today's Washington Post by ''osvo-
yard Eugene ". Newman very well
reflects the opinion of most Tennes-
scans in Washington:

The whiskey interests of Tennessee
were allied against Bate in favor OF
McMillin last year. because Senator
Bate had declared IN favor of the Hep
burn Dolliver bill. which is bill
pending before Congress to de clare
federal liquor license invalid in towns
and states where the local laws forbid
the sale OF whiskey. This year the
liquor interests of Tennessee are allied
against CaImsck and in favor of Tay-
loI, bscause-for reasons best known to
themselves. In political circles this
story is an old one. 1t Is said that
upon one occasion when Bob Taylor
was a candidate for Governor ana
was consulted regarding the platform.
he said: Il want one eend of the
platform high tariff. and one eend
of the platform low tariff. and l will
bestride that platform from eend to
eend. That is about the way he
will do the Hepburn Deliver bill.
Publicly his managers will have him
DECLARE for 1t, but privately he Will
bestr,de it from eend to eend.''

the law reads that man who re-
ceives stolen goods knowing they had
been stolen, is as guilty as the thief who
stole them. By parity of reasoning, the
man who receives a purchased office
knowing it was purchased, is as guilty
as the boodlers who handled the bribe
money. Did Theodore Roosevelt know
that his confidential man Cortelyou was
receiving trust money of widows and or.
phans to buy votes for his election
If he did, he is just as guilty as the
men who furnished or the men who
handled the money. Do you doubt that
he knew in a general way of what was
going on

1t is no new thing for Carmack to de-
clare fer the Hepburn Dol liver bill. He
made the same announcement two years
ago, and the liquor dealers have been
whetting their knives for him ever since
Every true friend Of the Hepburn-Dol-
liver bill ought to be a supporter OF
CarmacK. The fact that the saloon ele-
ment is solidly arrayed q z iinst him, is
fact sufficient for every earnest temper
ance man to vote for him. The liquor
men never divide; that is the reason they
SO often carry the day TIE fact that
thev ara opposing Carmack is conclusive
evidence that they do not regard him as
"their friend" The fact that they are
supper ting Tay lor is conclusive evidence
that they do regard him as "their
frisnd." The acts OF the liquor dealers
speak louder than the words of politi-
clans. AS in private life, so in political
life, "Men are judged by the company
they keep" Carmack is not only for
the Hepburn Dolliver bill, but be de-
clares publicly and privately that he
wants TO help wipe the ''insolent saloon
and gambling influence" out of the pol
itics of this State, and hopes to see the
democratic party, both in it's csndi-
date and platform, take that staLd.
You have not heard or read of Bob
Taylor saying anything like that, have
you?

Commenting on the revelations OF
the methods of the big life insurance
companies and their practice of pIostl-
tuting trust funds to political purposes
slsts that there is a man "hIgher up
who must defend himself. 1t says:
Ibid Theodore Roosevelt know that
the money of the widows and orphans
of the New York Life was used to elect
him President? Did Theodore Roose-
welt know the shameful thing John
A. Mccall did and knowing il. did he
make himself party to the disgrace
full deed by accepting the money?
There is no escape tom the inexorable
logic of the situation. The burden OF
proof is on Theodore Roosevelt. He
must show honest men that lie did not
know this shameful thing was done. if
be would still be Teckoned an honest
man. 1t is probable that $48, 600 were
given to his campaign fund without
his knowing who gave them? 1t he
did not learn, was IT not because he
wilfully kept himself in ignorance in
order that he might offer that as a
defense in case of emergency The
News and Courier adds: There is no
need to mince words about it. If
Theodore Roosevelt knew of the act of
John A Mccall, and knowing 1t, ac-
copied the money, Theodore Roosevelt
is no better than John. A Mccall.
