The friends of Mr.. Patterson argue
that, when Joe Washington had re-
tired ingloriously from the field and
there seemed to be no one willing to
tackle the Cox machine, he threw
himself and his political fortunes into
the fray and smashed the machine all
to smithereens. The contention is
not without force and reason and an
element of justice. We are frank to
admit that Mr.. Patterson has made a
good and valiant fight against the Cox
machine" We are free to admit that
he has done the State and party a
good, service by exposing Mr.. Cox's
record. We are willing to admit, and
glad to say that he has Cox worsted,
and practically defeated And If 1t
was simply a question as between the
two; IL the Office must, of necessity go
to one or the other of them; If their
claims were higher than the claims of
people; their right greater than
The rights of the party; then Mr..
Patterson, we think, would have
the best of the argument. But
while Mr.. Patterson was smash
ing the Cox machine and Mr..
Cox's record. Mr.. Cox was doing some

sible solution of the problem, We would
say "a plague upon both their houses,
and have nothing more to say or dc
with it. But we hope the Democratic
party has a better future in store than
to nominate either of them; and there
fore. in the interest of truth and de
mocracy and in behalf of the Maury
County machine" we will correct
one mistatement of fact made by Mr..
Patterson in his speech in the court
house Monday night He said that the
call for the gubernatorial primary
made by the county committee origi-
nally for the 9th day of May, and then
postponed by subsequent action TO
the 18th, was a Cox move and a Cox
trick for the purpose of disarranging
and confusing his dates for speaking.
That at the time of the first call he
had dates and was speaking in East
Tennessee; that his manager was COM
PEELED to cancel dates there, in order
that he might come here; and that no
sooner had that been done, than the
date for the gubernatorial primary in
Maury was changed again by the ma
chine" The truth is, and several of
Mr. Pattersons friends know it, that
Cox had nothing whatever to do with
the original call or the change. The
call was made at first unadvisedly
upon second thought the committee
was practically unanimous in the
opinion that they had fixed the wrong
date: and when the news reached Car
mack headquarters in Nashville, Mr. /
Carmack happened to be there, and |
both he and his manager saw at once |
the complications it might bring into
his race, and communicated with
friends here and asked that the date
be changed; and upon their request
and upon the judgment of the COM
mittee, and in the interest of harmony,
and to prevent trading and swapping,
the change of date was made; and
John I. Cox had no more to do with
It, than Ham Patterson had. If Mr..
Patterson's long list of complaints
against the coal oil inspectors, the
election commissioners and the ina
chine" have no better foundation in
act than this Maury County affair,
lie is simply trying to prejudice the
public mind by making much ado
bout nothing"

We already hear temperance demo
Gratis saying they will not vote next
fall if either Cox or Patterson are
nominated, and threatening not to vote
in the primary next Saturday. What
better thing could the whiskey peo-
pie want than for the temperance men
to stay away from the polls next Sat
urday. Will you point US to any vic
tory. ever won by staying away from
the polls? Who wrote the temperance
laws on the statute books of Tennes-
see, if not the Democratic party? And
could they have been written there if
temperance Democrats had not gone
to the polls and voted in the pri-
maries? Laws are not made by leg
islatures; they are made by the peo-
pie who elect the legislators. There
are two kinds of temperance people
in this State who never do the least
service to the temperance Cause. One
kind are those who, in the most crit
ical hours, for fear they will get their
Immaculate linen soiled, stay at home
and allow the whiskey men, who al
ways vote, to take full and complete
possession of the polls. The other
kind are those who rear back on their
supersensative principles" and with
great dignity, positiveness and pomp-
BUSINESS, positively refuse to "compro-
mise their principles" by diluting their
prohibition in the least. Both these
kinds give far more comfort than ter
ror to the enemy. The only man who
is worth a baubee to the temperance
cause is the one who goes to the polls
every chance he gets and votes for the
best thing in sight. If the temperance
people stay away from the polls next
Saturday Patterson will carry this
county and every vote of the county
will be cast for him in the nominating
convention at Nashville; and he needs
just few votes to make his nominal
ton certain. Any comfort in that, for
a temperance democrat? On the other
hand, If the temperance democrats
will go to the polls next Saturday and
vote for an uninstructed delegation to
go to Nashville and vote against Cox
and Patterson both, it is highly proba-
BILE that a better man than either of
hem will be nominated. Then if you
are a temperance democrat, you will
have helped the temperance cause;
and there will be some comfort in that
men need not fear Cox:
MS defeat is a foregone conclusion
But Patterson is no better and with
him in the gubernatorial chair the
juliet, if not the active influence of
he administration will be all against
temperance legislation; and a legis-
ature can make little Roadway
against the influence of the governor.
Besides that: If Patterson controls
he convention, there will be no tenn
Derance plank in the platform; if he
lOes not control the convention, there
will be temperance plank in the plat
'orm, declaring for the extension of
he Adams law. Under these circum-
stances, every temperance Democrat, !
t seems to us, will know his duty
lext Saturday, and knowing it should

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1906-05-18

The gubernatorial contest in this
county has narrowed itself down to a
fight of the field against Patterson,
and the Cox men have joined in that
fight Propositions were made Mon
day to the Patterson Supporters, for
both sides to agree to an anti-Cox and
anti-Patterson delegation; to select
trustworthy men in all the districts
and instruct them to vote for any good
man to beat Cox and Patterson. This
proposition was declined by the Pat
terson men, then in the spirit of har-
mOny it was proposed to them that
the delegation should be instructed
against both Patterson and Cox, with
the further understanding that in case
the race narrowed down to a choice
between the two, the entire vote
of this county should be given to Pat
terson. But the Patterson men were
so bent upon having things entirely
their own way that they refused this
peace overture also Then the oppo-
sition organized and will make the
fight in every district in the county
for an uninstructed delegation, not in
the interest of any man, but in the in
terest of the Democratic party. This
county is not under the slightest obli-
cation to either Patterson or Cox.
They do not, in our opinion, want
either of them. If made to take choice
between them not half the Democratic
voters of the county would go to the
polls. To instruct for either of them
would simply mean a victory for the
Cox faction or the Patterson faction,
neither of which faction represent any
considerable portion of the Democratic
voters of the county. Looking to the
general good of the party, and consid-
ering, as we believe, the wishes of a
very large majority of the Democratic
voters of the county, the Herald ia
vors an uninstructed delegation, wear
ing no mans collar, but bearing the
unstained banner of pure democracy.

Z So the question is, not what Mr. Pat

Cox. but what can he do towards de
feating the Republican nominee? If
in his effort to smash the Cox machine
he has builded up against himself so
much prejudice and opposition that to
nominate him will endanger the sue
cess of the party, then his rights must
give way to the higher rights of all
the Democrats of the State, and the
still greater consideration, the best
interests of all the people of the State.

that Maury county may decide the is

There is absolutely no telling whose
name will go before the Democratic
gubernatorial convention. There may
be and we believe will be the names of
better and more acceptable men than
either Cox or Patterson, and for this
county to be properly represented We
think an uninstructed delegation
should be sent TO Nashville, to vote
for the best man whose name is pre-
scented. We said early in this cam
paign, and from the many expressions
of opinion we have heard since we
have been confirmed in that opinion,
that Maury county does not want
either Cox or Patterson for Governor.

When Charles Hungate, secretary OF the

he saw a bonfire. Through curiosity he
drove up and on examination found several
hundred pounds OF copper wire, which had
been put In the fire to burn on the insula-
tion. Some miscreants had stolen the wire
from the ice houses, where It was used to
conduct the power as the ice houses are
run by electricity A pole had broken
and let the wire fall to the ground and
this gave the vandals n start and they
were about to get away with all in sight
when Mr.. Hungate put out the fire, loaded
