THE sENAToRsHIP.

In felicitating himself over his vic
tory, Mr. Taylor has evidently drawn
upon a very vivid imagination. He
has had a warm fight, it is true. Rich

Richmonds in the field and Falstatf, In
recounting his victory, saw tar 100
MANY "rogues in buckram; now
comes our conquering hero of Tennes-
see. who protests that he has de
feated two United States Senators
and, by inference, with a single stone
laid low two Goliaths of Gath. There
was but one United States Senator
running against him, and he has de-
feated but one, even though the merit
of that one doubles the magnitude OF
his performance II have defeated
all the intelligence of the State" That
sentence would better become the
mouth of vainglorious Jack Cade than
II becomes the highest nominee OF
the glorious Democracy of Tennessee.
ut was not only my victory, but the
victory of the people of Tennessee,
that class called by the opposition the
fools and hill billies. "All the in
telligence of the State was not
against Bob Taylor, and the hosts OF
honest intelligent Democrats who sup
ported him have never been classed
as fools and hill billies" Mr.. Taylor
is himself the first to make tha'
charge. and in so doing he insults the
good sense and breadth of mind OF
the Democracy Of Tennessee. His re
marks are far from gentle and gen
erous-they have an air of triumphant
spite and success-intoXicated egotism
absolutely unworthy of an apostle OF
love and harmony. They are an ap
neal to prejudice, sop Of ignorance

PATTERSON AND CONTESTS.

The Memphis News-Scimitar, one OF
Mr.. Patterson's home papers, says
"A great bowling protest comes
from Patterson quarters in regard to
the contested vote in the gubernatorial
race. The people, however, are not
of so short memory that they do not
recollect that the first contests were
made by the Patterson people.
cat the very outset of the campaign
they started the policy of rule or ruin,
and whenever they failed to carry a
county they left no stone unturned in
their effort to becloud Gov. CoXs vic
tory by attempting to engineer a bolt.
Before the Cox people had con
tested a single county the Patterson
forces had challenged the right of the
Democrats of five counties to make
their own choice without interference.
These contests were the strong
card of the campaign during the early
stages of the fight. The Patterson
people realizing Gov Cox's great lead
tried to destroy the moral effect OF it
by boiling in various counties, thus
questioning the governors victories.
Such tactics were unheard of up to
the time OF this campaign. It was a
novel method of campaigning peculiar
to Mr.. Patterson and all his bolts
were predicated upon frivolous and
ridiculous objections and preteXts.
For instance, in Lawrence county,
carried by Gov Cox, all but one dis
trict claiming one vote; that one dis
trict with it's one vote insisted that
Patterson should have his representa-
tive strength and was entitled to that
one vote in the gubernatorial conven-
ton. Upon this claim the one dis
trict bolted, and then instructed the
entire county for Patterson, thus re-
pudiating the grounds upon which the
bolt was made. All of the Patterson
contests are of a piece With he Law
renee county affair, and ~ has car
ried his program of rule or ruin to
the bitter end.
Democratic harmony has not been
consideration with Mr.. Patterson,
and even division and discord have
not deferred him in his efforts to win
at all hazards and at any cost.
I'VE are now informed that If Pat
terson is given the decision in the
contested counties, Davidson, Shelby,
Wilson and Giles, he will have enough
votes to insure his nomination.
But he is not entitled to all of these
four contested counties and will not
get them.
Gov. Cox carried Davidson county
by an admitted majority Of over eighty,
and is entitled to the vote of the en-
tire county, because he is the choice
of the people Of the entire county.
The Patterson forces, however, are
| endeavoring to defeat the will OF the
people upon a mere technicality. In
the Davidson primary Mr.. Patterson
carried more districts; Gov. Cox re
ceived more votes. Now, either the
majority controls the entire county
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1906-05-25

It is very generally believed that
county poliIcs has had a whole heap
to do with the gubernatorial squad
BILE in this county, and that certain IN
fiuences, anUagonistic to some OF the
Democratic nominees is at the bottom
of it. The democratic party in this
county needs a new alignment. It's
members are permitted to wear their
robes all too loosely. Too large num-
Der who participate in the primaries
turn right around if their favorites
are defeated, and refuse to support
the nominees. Politics in general
are run on such low plane that no
one can censure man for being an
independent; but an independent is
neither a democrat nor a republican
and should not be permitted to vote
in either a democratic or republican
urinary. If we are to have any party
lines in this county those lines ought
to be fairly and plainly drawn, and IN
party primaries none but party men
should participate; and the strlcter
the rule the stronger we believe would
become the organization. And we
would commend this rule in the tu-
ture: THAT in said primary election
no man shall vote who did not vote
the full straight democratic ticket at
the last general election, provided ne
voted at all; or if he did not vote, Will
affirm that he was sick or unayoidably
absent from the polls the day OF the
election, and if he had voted he would
have voted the full, straight demo
cratic ticket; and further, that no man
shall vote who will not positively and
uneouivocally pledge himself to sup
mort the nominee of this primary, both
nv voice and vote and influence; and
if shall be the duty of the judges OF
the election to PROFOUND to each ana
every man who presents his vote the
questions. did you support the noml-
pees of the democratic party at the
last general election, and will you sup
mort the nominees of this election?
It is easier to fight an open foe than
enemies in the ranks. II we are to
have democratic party, lets have a
democratic party of loyal democrats
who will support the nominees. II we
cannot have party of that kind, let's
quit making nominations for county
Offices. There is no reason, sense or
Justice in requiring candidates for
county offices to make the race for a
democratic nomination unless that
nomination means something, and
pledges to the successful candidates
the votes and honest support OF every
man who votes in that primary
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1906-05-25

or each candidate il the gubernatorial
convention is entitled to receive the
votes of such districts as he has car
ried. If it is decided that the majority
of votes in the entire county instructs
the entire county, then Gov. Cox will
get the entire vote of Davidson; if on
the other hand it is determined that
each district shall have its representa-
tive strength in the gubernatorial con
vention, then Gov. Cox is entitled to
Sc votes from Davidson.
In Shelby county it is a question
whether the executive committee had
right to rescind its former action
and call a snap after-dark series of
mass meetings in the interests of M.
R. Patterson. Whatever the decision
of Shelby county may be, however,
Mr.. Patterson cannot escape the cen
sure of fairminded Democrats for the
unfair methods employed by him in
the effort to carry his own county.
He pretends to be asking the conven-
ton for fair play, while his actions in
Shelby county discredit him as an
apostle of fairness. Those who seek
equity must come with clean hands.
Tn Wilson county the decision can
not be matter of doubt. Gov. Cox
received the overwhelming majority
in a regular and properly called con-
vention and the subsequent Patterson
primary was an irregular and unau-
