of taxation and the equalization OF
assessments and the shifting of the
burden from the shoulders Of those
least able to bear it to the shoulders
o. taose who are certainly able to bear
their share.
we are in the midst OF an era when
many states are considering the CUES
ton Of railway rate regulation and Of
railway taxation, and not a single
candidate for governor or for the rail
rogd commission has taken a posi-
ton on this important issue. In the
United States congress the question
O, rate regulation is being discussed.
II is attracting the attention of the
American people.
yet the question of each state tax
ing railroad property, as it does other
property, is an even more important
question.
wisconsin has increased the taxes
ON railroads from two million dollars
annually to three and one-half mil
lions dollars annually. We secure a
beggarly 100000 state taxes annually
on one-half Wisconsin's mileage, and
less than one million dollars all taxes
state, county and city.
Michigan and Ohio have a two
cent a mile passenger rate. In
Georgia and Alabama, our heighbor-
ing states, the question of railway
taxation is paramount in the guber'
Material campaign, and in Missouri
the pass evil is an issue.
when is Tennessee to arouse from
its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep?
There are other important ques-
lions, education, temperance, gamb-
ling, life insurance, election corrup'
ton, direct primaries, and free passes
Are our candidates to confine them
selves to abuse of each other and re-
main silent on these and other impor'
tant matters?
I'VE have seen in Knox county the
effect of factional contests and of con
tested delegations to gubernatorial
conventions. Who believes that any
credentials committee, however fair
could settle these contests in man
ner to heal the wounds, and, more
over, who believes for minute that
in the present state of party feeling
any credentials committee could be
selected which would seek to do any
thing but the will of the majority Of
the uncontested delegations to the
capitol?
1.-The only power which can prevent
democratic chaos and humiliating de
feat, outside of republican blindness
is some democratic forethought and
wisdom.
Counties which have not acted
have an opportunity to do much tc
prevent a cataclysm of the party.
Let the leaders in each county gel
together and consider well and with
out haste.
THE duty to the party and to the
state is more urgent now than all
else"

FOR CONSIDERATION OF DEMO
Gratis.

The Knoxville Sentinel has very
timely and well considered editorial
on the gubernatorial situation, from
which we make the following ex-
eerpts:
"Fifty-one of the ninety-six coun-
ties of the state only have held CON
yentions or primaries, and only 494
instructed and uncontested delegates
have been named In seven counties
uninstructed or contested delegations
have been named with total vote OF
175. Most of these are contested, or,
in other words, of $50 delegates SO
far named more than one out OF four
is contested.
is this not a commentary on the
conditions of Tennessee politics
among the democrsts?
Every day it grows more certain
chat unless the republican party con-
tinues its policy of stupidity, the de-
mocracy will have a difficult task In
eIecting it's ticket in November. Ger
tainly this IS true If either of the lead
ing candida,es for the nomination
wins In such a convention as 10
likely to occur unless there is a radi-
cal change in feeling. If the assem-
bIage is a seething mob, controlled by
NO rule except that of the gag, and
possibly rivaling the disgraceful ar
fair at which Brownlow secured the
republican state machinery in 1900,
what can save the democracy?
Can the democrats afford to ven
ture from a slaughter house toward
an open grave, trusting alone in the
imbecility of their opponents for their
own political salvation?
I'VE think not.
"WiIson and Smith counties were
warning enough to the democrats OF
Tennessee, but the contest which has
arisen in Shelby county should con-
vince every reasonable democrat of
the danger ahead. The whole cam
paign has been conducted on plane
which should disgust every high
minded member of this party. the
issue has been that Of men, not meas
ures
Between the personal charges OF
Ifr. Cox and Mr.. Patterson the cam
baign for the gubernatorial nominal
tiou has reached an acute stage.
ITO Mr.. Cox's credit be it said he
did not start the personal politics,
nevertheless he is mixed up in it now
f-reparably and the condition brought
about is one of which all democrats
should be ashamed. Year after year
a fewer number of democratic voters
have gone to the polls and taken in
terest in politics. The party needs a
radical change and the condition is
one which should give pause.
~The plain, honest, patriotic demo-
Gratis of the state should put on their
thinkink CAPS.
"Of what sort of material are our
governors made?
""Are they to be chosen on the
strength of the Indictment they can
draw against their opponents? Are
we to have no serious discussion of
questions of state interest?
I'm the midst of this war of per-
soualities, issues of vital Importance
to the state have been lost to view.
Nothing is said on the great subject
