A. S. OF E. AT
HAWESVILLE
Had Great Meeting There On
Saturday Of Representatives
Of Hancock Associations.
J.Y.LOTTELECTED J. SECRETARY.
HawesviIle, Ky. Jan. 90, 1906.

Hawesville, KY. Jan. 90, 1906.
In responce to a call issued by Presi
dent John E. Mlnnett, the county
union of the American Society of
Equity met at the court house on Sat
utday, January Goth. Said union was
composed of delegates sent by the
different LEGAL unions and were ap
portioned on the basis of one delegate
for every ten members or major tIac
tion thereof.
The meeting was called to order at
10 100 a. m. bv the President The
minutes OF the previous meeting were
read and accepted, after which the
President requested the Secretary to
call tie roll of the locals looking to
the seating of the delegates. At tnis
point the question arose as to the eli
gibility of certain delegates represent
ing certain locals which had not yet
adopted the new constitution, and a
part or all of whose members were
behind with their dues.
1t was at last agreed that such To-
Gals be allowed as many delegates as
their paid up membership entitled
them to, and as many more as these
delegates felt safe IN vouching for
under the belief that the matter OF
dues would be satisfactorily settled at
the next meeting of the locals.
The greater part of this trouble
came from locals located in the hail
storm belt, while some OF it originated
in locals the membership OF which
were laboring under the false impres'
sion that they had a right to sell
their tobacco privately tor prices hx'
ed by the organization.
In view of these facts, the union de-
cided to deal leniently with these
locals, but to do so no more in the
event of similar offences.
A motion was made then to adjourn
for noon, to meet again at :15.
AT the beginning of the afternoon
session Secretary A. H. Bruner tender
ed his resignation, which was accepted.
Nominations were then made to elect a
new Secretary. q. F. Lancaster, j. s.
Cullen and j. Y. Lott were nominated
for the place. The vote was taken and

Co. is the sole sales agent, held at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, on the Sth instant,
the report of the president was received
and showed not only a sound and

ment. In view of the rapid growth of
the business and the constantly increas-

sirable, it was voted, upon the recon-

than the first, is held, and contesting
delegation is chosen. The fight is car
ried into the State convention, and, to
the disgust Of thousands of Democrats
all over the State, bitter wrangles are
INDUCED in. All this jeopardizes Dem
ocratic success because it destroys har-
moniOus action.
In the past few months mass conven-
tions have been held which were in NO
sense representative of public senti'
ment. Already because OF this fact,
there is discord in the counties and
contesting delegations bound for Nash
Vile.
The whole disgraceful business
should be stopped. The State con
vention should meet the issue resolute
ly, abiuring the Democrats in the sev
eral counties to find some more salts
factory method of recording Democrat
ic sentiment. The counties should b.
urged, vigorously urged, to hold dis
trict conventions on one and the sam
day, the county conventions to b
hled on certain day. 1t shonld ais
urge County Committees to give a
least twenty days notice before dis
trict conventions are to be held.
In this way there will be full an
free expression of Democratic senti
ment, and we shall have done wit
inharmonious action and dangerou

to high ideals as a man and citizen.
We delight to recall that his life was
pure and clean, his conversation un.
tainted with coars enes and his dealings
with his fellow man honorable and
manly. She who knew him best, and
grieves most deeply for him, with tears
suppressed and in broken accents,
speaks OF the tender solicitude he fell
for the dear little children, and how
keenly and anxiously he averted and
to avoided whatever might have caused
them pain or sorrow. And so his worl
is ended. 1t is sad to those of us who
were connected with him only by fra
ternal ties to think that we shall NJ

speakably sad to those of his house

Mass Conventions Must Go,

The American is firmly convinced
that one of the greatest dangers to con
tinued Democratic supremacy in Ten
nessee lies in the mass.convention
methods now in vogue. These con-
ventions, which are often not at all
representative of public sentiment, are
making Independents out of thousands
of Democrats and also making other
thousands Indifferent to party success.
Many of these mass. conventions are
held on a few days notice, such short
notice, in fact, that hundreds of the
Democrats in the counties know moth
ing of them until they are over.
Others are manipulated by handful
of political schemers who have every
thing cut and dried before the conven-
tion is held.
What is the result? There is serious
dissatisfaction. Often another conven.

BROWNLOW COX WAY IT LOOKS.
The Big Boss Said to Want Victim for
Slaughter.

Commercial l-Appeal Bureau,
Washington, d. O., Jan. 24.-Some-
thing eventful for Tennessee republi-
cans appears to be brewing here in
high circles. 1t is like as not to pre-
cipitate anew the old Evans -Brownlow
war.
Word has come here within the last
few days which is in corroboration of q
persistent rumor here explanatory of
the congressman's lively interest in
behalf of the nomination for governor
of Asbury Wright by the republican
state convention.
1t is that it is in Tennessee among
many republicans a constantly recur-
ring theme of comment that Represen-
tative Brownlow does not really wish
the republicans to win the race for
governor; that he is the friend at all
times and Under all circumstances of
Gov. Cox, party or no party; that, in
order to afford Cox as sure running
chance as possible, Brownlow selected
Wright to be slaughtered. Such has
been the representation that has Just
come to the administration.
A messenger from the Evans camp
has today seen Postmaster General
Cortelyou and presented the situation
as here indicated, and Mr.. Cortelyou
was evidently impressed, saying it
would be foolish for the republicans
not to take advantage of democratic
conditions and name a good, strong
man. That good, strong man, it is
needless to say, is H. Clay Evans.
While not one word has come from
Mr.. Brownlow which would indicate
anything but that he was sincere in his
choice of and adherence to the cause OF
Asbury Wright, it is nevertheless q
fact that ever since the name of Wright
was mentioned in connection with the
republican nomination there bas been
in Washington among those presuma,
bly, informed of the situation the same
kind Of talk which forms the burden Il
the complaint just now of the Evans
ties. Representative Brownlow has
been solicitous that the press carried
his unmistakable support of Wright.
It is now said that Evans is willing
to make the race, but will not permi
his name to he used unless the admin
istration secures a sincere support from
D Brownlow. Representative Hale il
understood to have cordially joined hi
s First district colleague in picking ou
F.. Wright for this alleged leading t,
q slaughter. Be the outcome what i
4 may, it is certain that administration

s uation as represented by the Evan
