7. ELLIS MAKES ADDRESS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 25.-The
second nights session of-the Laymen's
Missionary Movement was held al
the First Presbyterian Church Sunday
night. The attendance was largely in.
creased, and the gathering which taxed
the seating capacity OF the church in.
cluded some Of the most representa-.
tive citizens OF Nashville.
The address of W. t. Ellis, of the
Philadelphia Press, was interesting
throughout, and was one of the fea-
lures, of the evening service. Mr.. Ell
lis spoke from practical experience Of
the conditions which exist in the
heather countries. He gave some
startling as, well as highly interesting
facts concerning the heather religions,
and ridiculed the idea that the stand
ard of the heather religion obtained
in the heather Nations as the Chris.
tion religion does in Christendom. He
was followed by ], Campbell White,
who delivered an address which was
full Of interest. Mr.. White has spent
a number of years as a missionary,
and is now engaged in advancing the
laymen's movement in the United
States. He made a strong appeal to
Christian laymen to enter into the
work of saving humanity.
This report of the committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the missionary
statistics and recommend an amount
% be raised for foreign missions next |
year, was submitted and discussed.
It was finally agreed to strike out
10000 and insert 100000, which
amount will be raised next year.

GENERAL STATE
PRIMARY URGED
.,sgyILLE TENNEssEAN MAKES
STRONG PLEA FOR A o.
RECT VOTE.
EsT FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY
v,,bods Which charaeterized Last
Convention Are Very Round
~ Scored.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Nov. 25.-In
q. leading editorial Sunday the Nash
ole Tennessean makes a strong plea
a, a direct primary for Governor and
,,ber state officers. This paper is
,annorting Patterson. His other or
op. the American. is fighting a pri-
nary The question is, which organ
,al the Governor stand by. The edi-
nrial is as follows:
4The next nominee of the Demo
cratic party for Governor OF Tennes-
zee should be chosen by the direct
urinary method.
And not only should the contest for
the Governership be settled in this
manner, but the party's candidate for
hstices OF the Supreme Court, State
treasurer, Comptroller and Secretary
Of State, Congressman, Senators and
representatives in the various coun-
ties and senatorial and foterial dis
triets, should be named in the same
way.
The primary should be one general
urinary, held on the same day in
every county in the State, with all the
legal protection and restrictions
which can be thrown around it by
the laws of the State.
THE Tennessean is convinced that
this is the fairest and most just and
the most honest method of naming
the party nominees, and 1t believes
that the overwhelming sentiment of
the voters of Tennessee are of the
same opinion. A great majority of
the press OF the State is in favor
Of this plan, as is. every candidate
for a State Office who has expressed
himself upon the question. Not only
is the primary the fairest method to
those who aspire to the various Of
fees, but it is for the best interest
Of the Democratic party of Tennessee,
and the people of Tennessee and the
business interests of the State 7
Tennessee has for several years
been troubled with too much politics
and too many elections. Hardly has
the result of one contest been de-
termined until another campaign has
been launched AS asresult, the BUSH
ness interests of the State have suf-
cred needlessly. Tennesseans pay !
90 much attention to politics, any
way, but that Is weakness they have
Inherited from their fathers. Some +
ay they will get over 1t. *
There can be no reasonable argu- .
lent advanced against the primary r
ystem; there are innumerable ones Z
! its favor; it brings the selection OF '
ublic servants directly before the r
eople and places in their hands the G
over and the inalienable right to .
ay who will serve them. The old \
invention method does not do that e
ltirely Every honest man in Ten
sssee knows that for years the petty D
lrty bosses and factional leaders In S
e various counties have named to d
eat extent the delegates to the
ate conventions.
Whatever the cause may be, 1t Is
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1907-11-29

an indisDutable fact that the voter.
al large do not take the same Interest
In conventions that they take IN exer
eising their rights at the ballot box
No doubt the dishonest practices
which have grown up in modern con.
ventons have had much to do with
{ this. but II is true that the ballot
box Is about the only place where the
/ popular win is expressed in anything
like fair proportion tovoting popula-
ton. The highest dignity OF citizen.
ship is wrapped about the right OF sur
frage, and exercising that privi-
lese the average American takes a
peculiar apd jealous pride. He will
leave his store. OF his shop, or his
wheat field, to exercise his duty at
the ballot box, but he will not go to
the convention. And 1t is this fact
that opens the way for the political
trickster and machine hireling to get
in his work.
There are few opportunities for
fraud at the ballot box-except such
corruption as is always possible in
all elections where dishonest officers
happen to be in control--but there
are a thousand devious schemes of
treachery and rascality that lay wait
Ing for the honest candidate in the
organization of a convention, in the
appointment of Committees, in arbi-
trary rulings Of officers, etc.
Nearly every Southern State has
long ago discarded the old convention
system. Alabama, Georgia, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Arkansas. the Carolinas, Virginia,
and lastly, Kentucky itself-out Of the
travail Of its bitter experieuce-have
for years been nominating their State
officers and United States Senators
by direct primary, and so great
are the advantages of the plan that
none of these States would think of
returning to the old convention
method.
Tennessee tried it for the first
time last year in the contest for the
United States Senatorship, and not
the acerbity and excite
nent or that campaign, its fairness
md superiority was clearly demon
itrated. Both sides-victor and van
luished-accepted the arbitrament of
he ballot box without one word of
:amplaint. How different was the
state convention which followed!
AN honest primary need not be q
cared by any honest man who wants h
N honest expression of the popular i
will; then, with fair field, an honest a
allot and fair count, no candidate d
1ould hesitate or could afford to hest /,
ate to declare his willingness to go n
ITO it and submit his fortunes to the v
eople. And it Is the duty of the e
State Executive Commit {,
is the servant, and not the if
laster-of the Democratic masses of n
ennessee, to order primary ncxt q
ear.
CAS- for delegates to the National Il
they could be chosen In Il
lie same primary. There are always o.
imerous aspirants for these honors Il
nd there is no reason why the peo- p'
e should not choose them directly. Jf
hen the only need for State con- III
sntion would be. the making of a III
atform, and the voters of each NJ
'unty could select delegates for this n
lrpose to convention to be held in CT
ashville on the same day the gen. ye
al State primary is held. DC
AT any rate, the people demand II
imary, and we are confident the Sc
ate Executive Committee will not
ny 1t to them" "
