How do those figures strike you,
voters and taxpayers of Obion2
Are you willing to march up like a
lot OF lambs and saddle this
enormous debt upon Yourself and
your children? Are you willing to
do this when there is no public de.
mand for such an expenditure?
When it will only fill the pockets of
number of estimable citizens who
have lot of undesirable real es-
tate on their hands, and they see in
this scheme way to unload their
town lots and thus reap a rich har-
vest at the expense of our people
who have already all the taxes they
can bear. History shows that peo-
pie sometimes sleep on their rights
and by so doing have cause for re-
greet. but this is one time they are
wide awake and will show it by
their verdict on February IS.

What do You Know About It7

A newspaper printed at Dresden.
Weakley County, takes occasion, in
it's last weeks issue, to cast slur
at the gentlemen who went from
Union City to Nashville to oppose
the raising of taxes to boom an out
lying town by establishing two new
courts which are not needed or de-
manded except by small squad.
This wise editor calls the Nashville
committee willy politicians etc.
Now. young man, this matter is
none Of your concern whatever, but
is purely a local affair, and we want
to give you a gentle hint right here.
1t is this: 1t is said at Nashville,
and believed by those in position to
know, that the town of Martin, in
your own county, has her eyes on a
new court. and If our people are
so blind as to vote the tax on us for
the sole benefit of Obion, your turn
will come next Then how about
"wily politicians"

False in One False in All.

The Obion promoters in their
special organs continue TO say in
their papers that the clerk of the
court which they want to force on
Obion County will only get the fees
of his office as pay for his services
and will not cost the county a cent.
Now this is said and repeated by
every town promoter and real es-
tate jockey who is pushing this new
court scheme, in spite of the fact
that the printed bill, which we pub
lished last week, provides on its
face that the CIRCUIT clerk shall be
paid $500 salary by the county.
Now we submit to all honest, can
did, fairmlnded men what they
think of a cause that has to be
foated oy positive, bare faced de-
ception. And this is but a fair sam
pie of the truth OF the whole lot of
junk these blow-hards are sending
out to the people.

Where will It End?

The town of Halls, on the |. G.
railroad west of Dyersburg, is hot
after lot OF special courts. We
also learn that Newbern in Dyer
County wants one, besides several
other villages in Tennessee, and so
it goes. We presume all these sta
tions have their eyes on the result
in Obion County, and should the
voters on February IS decide to
saddle the county with this big spe-
cial court tax the army of real es-
tate owners and village promoters
will march to Nashville and raise
such a cry for mercy! mercy justice

silly enough to vote tax on them
selves to put money in the pockets
of the aforesaid apromoter."

with especial opposition to Charles F.

tically is a defeat for Murphy as well
as for Osborne.
William NJ WINS, the Republican
nominee. was third in the race for
mayor. and ran far behind Hearst
Bird S Coler was elected borough
president of Brooklyn on the Municipal
Ownership ticket, and Hearst carried
that borough by plurality Of 1562S
An analysis of the vote for mayor
shows that Hearst polled a little more
than 20O,C0O votes, and that apparently
these votes were drawn almost equally
from the Democratic and Republican
parties. McClellan's vote this year was
about 10000 smaller than his vote Of
two years ago, while Wins vote WAS
about 12500O smaller than Lows vote
Of two years ago. These figures, how
ever. may not be entirely accurate,
owing to the fact that a number of Re-
publicans probably voted for Mcclellan
in order to aid in the defeat of Hearst
Less than a month ago, when Hearst
accepted the nomination OF the Mu-
nicipa Ownership League, McClellan's
reelection was regarded as a certainty,
and the mayor himself declared that he
intended to make only a few speeches.
With the sudden outburs. Of enthu-
siastic support for Hearst however

the Democratic leaders were startled

Sunday night at Madison Square Gar
den with the garden crowded o the
doors and tens of thousands OF men
stood outside for hours cheering for
the Municipal Ownership candidate.
II was felt then that the vote would be
close and that Tammany must fight.
There was little disorder, and al
though many arrests were made, they
frequently were due to misunderstanding
ing or clerical errors, and only few
men were held for trial. More split
ting of tickets was done, probably, than
ever before, yet the voting was un-
usually rapid. An incident Of the day
was the desertion OF several hundred

A MATTER FOR THE SUPER
NlSORS.

4 few days prior to the opening
of the hunting season thispapcr Sug-
gcsted to the supervisors OF the
counties adjacent TO this city the
advisability OF shortening the game
season this year ON account OF the
scarcity of partridges. The power
to do so is granted to each board 10y
Section 300 \. clause >, OF the
Code. which SAYS in part: "Ihe
Board OF Supervisors OF any county
shall have the power to shorten the
open season in their said county.
The season as il now stands Is from
November lst, To February LIST. We
are absolutely convinced that the
terrible weather of last winter. to-
gether with the heavy rains OF the
summer. has so depleted the par
tridges that they are scarcer this fall
than for the past ten years. and 1t Is
easy to see the immense damage
which will be done them in three
months of shooting, especially later
on when snow begins and the pot
hunters get in their work. We re-
spectfully suggest 10 the boards OF
Spotsylvania. Stafford. King George.
Caroline, sOrange and Culpeper that
they pass and have published resO-
luton shortening the season this
velr to ono month. l. q. from NOvem-
Der lst to December LIST, and We urgo
all of our people, both in the coun-
ties and cities, to use their influence
with the several boards TO the end
that this may be done. Ii necessary
write to the members of your board
and request that they adopt this
measure. which will in no small de
gree help to save thepartridges from
utter annihilatien. We cannot be
too careful of our game birdsand the
present condition OF affairs calls for
Immediate attention. We sincerely
trust that the boards will act at
once.

Disfranchise Amendment Defeated BY

10000 Majority.
Baltim0co. Nov. S.-The election in
Maryland was for state comptroller
legislature and county officers. and in
Baltimore for a judge of the supreme
court. sheriff. city clerk and surveyor
The issue which engrOssed popular T.
tention was a proposed constitutional
amendment the avOwed purpose OF
which was to disiranchise negro voters,
but which aroused widespread oppOsi-
ton among many Democrats and for
eign voters in both parties. Owing to
the extreme length of the ballot. the
count has been slow, and the votes in
some of the city precincts and remote
county districts have not been counted
The returns so far received. however
make certain the defeat of the proposed
constitutional amendment by de-
cisivc majority of 10000 or more. and
very probable the election of McCul-
Tough. Rep. state comptroller over At
kinson. Dem. and the election Of Re
publicans in three out Of four Of the
city legislative districts. The Republic
can candidates for sheriff, city court
clerk and city surveyor in Baltimore
are also elected.
Chief Judge Harlan, Dem, is re-
elected by 10000 majority. The Re-
publicans did not nominate candidate
against Judge Harlan, though there
was an Independent Republican candi-
date. The political complexion of the
next legislature is uncertain, and will
not be known until the official count
has been completed.

OHIO PROBABLY DEMOCRATIC
Leaders Claim to Have Elected Entire
state Ticket

Columbus, o., Nov. S.-The Demo
cratic leaders in this state claimed
the election of Pattison and the entire
Democratic ticket by substantial plu-
ralitics. while the Republicans simply
refused to conce1e such a claim, in
sisting that the returns were INSULT
cient at that hour to indicate any
thing except that the vote had been
very heavy, and that the amount OF
scratching had made counting very
slow. In the cities the Republican
loss exceeded 100 to the precinct, but
as the loss per precinct outside of the
large cite was so far as reported only
about 80, there was no certainty that
the loss would run high enough to
wipe out the 100000 Republican plu-
rality with which comparisons were
made. Less than 500 of the 42O0 pre-
cincts have been heard from.
