TEDDYFBEARS
FOR ROOSEVELT
PLAN TO STOCK CANEBRAkES
WITH THEM IS NlPPED
IN BUD.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept SO.-Lake
Providence, La, men employed by the
government to protect the President
from attacks of violence and insolence
have succeeded in smashing the plan
of Col. Palmer of Mississippi to play
practical joke on President Roose-
welt. when he begins his hunt through
the canebrakes near here next week.
Seven gross of small sized Teddy
Bears of the toy variety had been
shipped by Col. Palmer, to be dis
tributed over where President Roose-
Welt would have travelled in search OF
live bears.
Secret service men watching for
suspicious characters heard of Col.
Palmer's move and, appealing to the
authorities. were accommodated with
assistance from county officials, which
will prevent the distribution OF the
toy bears in the path Of the Presi'
dent. President Roosevelt hunted In
Mississippi several years ago, with
little success, for bear. This was be-
fore the arrival of the Teddy Bear.

When the mountains are crossed 1t Is
all one way for Carmack. East Ten
nessee is in open revolt against Pat
tersOn.
The Patterson crowd was not sur.
prised at Carmack's announcement.
They have expected it ever since the
conference between Carmack and his
friends here last week, and from that
time they have been busy. Taking
advantage of the State Fair attraction
Patterson appointees have been sum-
moned here from all points of the state
and have been instructed to get busy.
With a desperation born of despair
the Patterson crowd has gone to work
to organize and is Boosting already
that they have fixed a few counties.
However, their entire dependence APP
pears to be upon the machine. No
where do they claim that the people
are enthusiastic for Ham. All they
boast Of is their organization.
Desperate efforts are being made to
get the Taylor men in line for Patter-
son. but so far without success. With
this end in view Gen. w M. Brandon,
who managed Taylor's campaign for
the Senate, has been entertained over
night in the Governors palace, and 1t
is said that he will be chosen to man
age Patterson's campaign. It is not
believed. however, that he can exert
any considerable influence with the
Taylor following since 1t is known that
hts first allegiance is to McNfiiih, and
it is the McMillin influence thar -
responsible for his opposition to Car
mack
Patterson leaders avoid, as much as
possible, a discussion Of the demand
for a general primary. II Is plain that
IL there is anyway to avoid II. the ma
chine crowd will never submit the is
sue to direct vote Of the people. The
pressure for a general primary is so
strong, however, that the odds are two
to one that the machine will yield and
order one.
Patterson's organs boast that he Is
anxious and ready to meet Carmack
in joint debate. While Ham is not
laundering after one, there is little
doubt that he will accept the challenge,
because TO do otherwise would further
damage his prestige as the Game
! Cock" OF Tennessee politics.

PRISONERS MAY
HAVE LIBERTY
LAW so CONSTRUED THAT THEY
CAN GO AT LARGE UNDER
GUARD.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 30.-Upon
the recommendation of Assistant At
torney General Sam o. Bates YER
dict of not guilty was returned In
favor of J. s. Fite, keeper OF the
county work-house, charged in an In
dictment with neglect Of duty and un-
lawfully permitting prisoner to go
at large. in the Second Criminal Court
today.
The indictment charged that during
the months of June, July and August
1907, Fite allowed William McVey, the
Fifth Ward saloonkeeper sentenced to
eleven months and twenty-nine days
for running gambling house to go at
large. Gen. Bates contends that, ac'
cording to the statute, the keeper oil
mo work.house may use his own dis
erection as to the license allowed pris'
oners, the code providing that any
prisoner may be made trusty, and
that all the keeper of the work-house
must do is to see that the prisoner is
properly guarded SO as to prevent MS
escape.
In short, Gen. Bates intreprets the
statute to mean that prisoner may
GO anywhere with a guard.

CARMACK men
MUCH PLEASED
SENATOR'S ANNOUNCEMENT is
RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM
ALL OVER STATE.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 3O.-Car-.
macks announcement for Governor
was received here with enthusiasm. His
friends are rejoicing that he has at
last spoken and answered the demand
thai has come from all parts OF the
state. Reports that have been re-
ceiyed from all sections since the an
nouncement was made public have
been of the most encouraging nature.
While Patterson has almost seeded
this county down with appointments,
having taken more Of his official fam
lily from Davidson county than from
all the other counties of the Middle
division combined, the county looks
certain for Carmack.
The active Taylor supporters In all
sections OF the state, who are In no
way bound to the administration, are
the most enthusiastic supporters OF
Carmack. In counties where Taylor
was the strongest in his race for the
Senate, Carmack will have little or no
opposition. Especially is this true OF
East Tennessee and of the counties In
the Third and Fourth Congressional
districts. which are in the Middle d.
vision.
Take Warren. White, Franklin and
Grundy counties in the third district.
Every one OF these counties gave Tay-
Tor a majority. Carmack Is absolutely
sure to carry all of them by splendid
maiorities. In fact in White and War
rem counties there will be little opposi-
ton to the former Senator. Over In
the adjoining counties OF Coffee ana
Cannon in the Fifth District the senti-
fent is Overwhelming for Carmack'
Coffee county was strong for him In
the Senatorial race, but Cannon was
the other way. There will be no OPP
position in Moore County, where Tay-
Tor was also very strong.
with the exception OF Sumner coun'
ty. where Patterson's appointees are
expected to exert a good deal OF infiu'
ence for him. II is all one way In the
Fourth District. Wilson, Smith, Over
ton and Putnam, the big Democratic
counties, are all in line for Carmack.
Trousdale, Macon, Jackson and Cum
berland counties are going 10 give Car
mack record-breaIsing maiorities.

CARnlCk ANNOUNCES HIS
CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNOR

eussiOn about his anxiety to meet Car
mack. but 1t Il known that be would
prefer another method OF conducting
the campaign. Il Is not believed.
however. that be can avoid a joint
discussion.
Never in the history OF the state
has there been such pressure brought
to bear upon a man 10 make a race for
once as has been brought forth 90
induce Carmack to enter this contest
From every county in the state there
have come unsolicited demands that
he make the race. Many OF these re-
quests have come from those who
were in the forefront Of the fight for
Patterson in last years contest. Es-
pecially is this true of the Eastern
division. The counties in that sec
ton which cast the deciding vote for
Patterson are reported to be solid for
Carmack.
In part this is true of the other two
divisions of the state. There is hardly
county in Tennessee from which de-
mands upon the Senator to make the
race have come from former par
tisans of Patterson. The reason CIV
en- is that Patterson has broken faith
with the people and has violated all
of his anti-eleetion pledges. The
temperance element which contributed
so much to the Governors success Is
in open revolt and has importuned
Senator Carmack to enter the fight.
Senator Carmack has all the time
been adverse to making the contest
He has been loath to again enter the
struggle for political preferment. and
it was only after he conceived 1t to be
public demand that he consented to
yield and enter the fight. In entering
the race Senator Carmack will make
big financial sacrifice. He has re-
ceived the most f1attering oners from
lecture bureaus that if accepted would
have yielded him an income much
greater than the salary of Governor.
He has also received some big offers
to re-enter newspaper work from some
of the great journals of the nation at
record breaking salaries. He has also
been made some tempting offers to
form partnerships for the practice OF
law.

BY POLITICAL BOB"

Special to The Herald.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept 81
Never before in the history Of East
Tennessee were the democrats in this
section so united for Governor. Car
mack and State primary is the watch
CRY among the leaders in this section
of the State. Some former Patterson
men declare for Carmaek and the
members of the State committee from
the Eastern division declare for State
primary.
East Tennessee has three District
committeeman and two from the State
at large. L. M. G. Baker from the
State at large, said: Personally,
favor a State primary; will give you
an interview later on"
Jas. H Bundren, Of the Second dis
trict declares for primary and Car
mack. ]. Frank White from the First
district, does the same. w. H. Hard
ford. of the Third district also favors
a primary. In Knoxville today there
are many prominent men representing
twelve counties. These Democrats
knowing the pulse Of their counties
were asked in regard to the Governors
race. They did not hesitate to declare
that their counties would go for Sen
ator Carmack.
E. P. Mcqueen, of Loudon County
said: 81 am of the opinion that
Loudon County will instruct for Car
mack if he announces for Governor.
Chas Chandler, of Blount County
Il was strong Taylor man for the
Senate, but we Taylor men have w1pec
our slate and will instruct for Carmacl
for Governor"
J. Frank White, of Claiborne Coun

for the Law. II may not be true from
the standpoint of some particular In
dividual Of this class, but in the long
run it is prominently true from the
standpoint OF the class as whole, no
less than of the country as a whole,
that ii is a veritable calamity to
achieve a temporary triumph by Vio-

"Wrongdoing is confined to no class.
Good and evil are to be found among
both rich and poor, and in drawing
the line among our fellows we must
draw it on conduct and not on worldly
possessions. In the abstract most OF
us will admit this. In the concrete
we can act upon such doctrine only

sympathy with one another. II Dotn

Misunderstanding between them all
will disappear and its place VIII be
taken by judgment broader, Jus'ef'
more kindly and more generous; for
each will find in the other the same
essential human attributes that exist
in himself. It was President McKin-
ley's peculiar glory that in actual
practice he realized this as it is given
to but few men to realize it; that
his broad and deep sympathies made
him feel a genuine sense OF oneness
with all his fellow-Americans, what
ever their station or work in life, SO
that to his soul they were all joined
with him in great brotherly democ-
racv of the spirit 1t is not given TO
many of us in our lives actually to
realize this attitude to the extent that
he did; but we can at least have 1t
before us as the goal of our endeaVor,

memory Of the dead President whose
