the cause of Evans. whom he is aid
ing in secret" Mr.. Patterson
referred in most strenuous terms
to the action of Gov Cox
in removing Election Commits
sioners who were favorable to him.
and in appointing others who were his
known enemies, referring particular
ly to the recent action of the Cover
nor in attempting to appoint new COM
missioners In Fayette County, in lieu
of commissioners who were appointed
by Cox, and who we're good enough
men then, but who were not suitable
men to carry on the election, now that
Patterson was the nominee. Gen.
Patterson stated that the men APP
pointed in almost every instance were
hostile to him. and that those removed
were his friends.
Temperance Legislation.
Mr.. Patterson said the democratic
platform was the most progressive
ever written, and in thorough accord
with past legislation on this subject
and the best temperance senti-
ment. That II elected and there
should be legislation extending TIE
Adams law to the larger towns and
cities of the state, and the people of
the towns and cities effected express
themselves in favor OF such legisla-
ton, he would sign the bill even
though it resulted in the extension
of the Adams law to the entire State.
Race Track Gambling.
Referring to this question, he said
the party had heretofore expressed
itself and that mention of it could
with equal propriety have been plac-
ed in or left out of the platform. That
it is not a general measure, as there
are only two tracks in the state where
betting is permitted. That there were
nj ly people in the state who believe
the maintenance of these two tracks
and the continuance of betting is nee
essary for the preservation of the
great breeding interests of the state.
but there were many other people,
whom he believed were in the major
lty, who believed that the evils Incl
dent to race track gambling outbal-
anced the benefits of the tracks to
the breeding interests, and If elected
and the dominant sentiment prevail
ed, ne would sign bill abolishing
race track gambling, If one was pre-
scented free from constitutional de-
fects.
He was most severe in his denuncia
tons of the personal attacks being
made on him by Mr.. Evans and said
that while heretofore he had refrained
from personalities. he would hereaf
ter handle his opponent from a per
sonal standpoint. From this time on
20 the end of the address he was most
severe on Mr.. Evans, and appealed
to the sentiment Of white domination
and white control in the state, to ey-
cry Southern sentiment and to loyalty
of the Confelerates and their sons to
all the traditions of the Southland.
