BE UP AND DOING.


e in September to decide the time, MAJ
: ner and place of nominating cand
: dates for the legislature.
We have confidence in this commit
Y tee that they will not play politics
: unfairly, but that they will consul
the will and best interests of thei
E constituents, and do the square thing
, After the committee has acted, i
9 will then be up to the people: and j
] there was ever time in the histor.
t of Maury County when the people,
t all the people, -should interest them
: selves in the selection of nominees, i
t Is in this good year of our Lord, 1906
/ The Democratic nominees will be
! elected. You may count upon that as
one of the dead certain things of the
future. This committee will call q
convention or a primary; for our part
we do not care which, but the general
opinion seems to favor a convention;
and the nominees of that convention
viii be practically elected the day
they are nominated. The time for ac-
ton therefore, is before that conven-
ton, not after. And upon that point
we have this to suggest to the tenn
perance people: Do not become obli-
gated or welded to the candidacy of
any man; make your fight, not for
this man or that man for the legisla-
ture, but for delegates to the conven-
tion who will vote for the best men
whose names are presented to that
convention. Look to the delegates
from your district, and send none but
true and tried Temperance Democrats
as delegates. And take courage in the
hope that other temperance men in
other districts all over the county,
will do likewise In union there is
strength; if all the temperance men in
I'll the districts will act upon this sug-
WESTON, the convention will be COM
POSED of temperance men; and a con-
rention composed of temperance men,
will nominate temperance men; and
will make temperance platform fit
for temperance men to run on, and
then the victory is won.
The Herald has no slate; we do not
intend to have any slate; our aim and
purpose, our only aim and purpose,
is to suggest to the temperance Dem
ocrats that lin union there is
strength" and that by concerted effort, |
each man to his district, they can win, |
hands down and easy There is tenn
perance work going on in this county,
and there is going to be temperance /
in this county, and the
Democrats are going to
win this election; and the first battle
they are to fight, and the first victory II
they are to win, is in the selection of |.
delegates, and then the rest of the
battle will be easy; for good delegates :;
will nominate good men like them I;
e0ANCo, anu Will IIldhS d SOOu pIdl-
form for good men to run on: and the Il
good people of this good county will 4
take delight in voting for good men
On good platform.
True, the convention has not been
called yet, but its none too early to !
begin to get ready. Talk to /,
your neighbor; agitate the great Ii
question of temperance. Tell your |
leighbor in the country that there
