WE'D, FEB. l3, 1907

1t is with no i'll will toward the
committee and certainly not to-
ward any aspirant that we make
the following statement concern
ing the recent action of the Dem
ocratic committee in calling a
primary, to determine who shall
make the race for Railroad Com
missioner in this district next
November, but, if possible, to
throw light on the trend of action
headed toward disorganization
and disintergration as we see it..
There has never been a time
when we have stood for or en-
dorsed a primary, not because
the voice of the people should not
be expressed or needed in the
making of our ticket. but because
of it placing position and office
on the market and beyond the
reach Of men Of moderate means,
and the further fact that it di-
vides and weakens our party and
tends to entrench and perpetuate
those who have d pull and the
cash. 1t shuts tn e door o f
hope in the face of worthy and
competent men who would as
pire to position of honor and trust.
1t fails to give fair and honest
verdict because money is used
to secure results at the polls. 1t
rarely ever fails to work up bit
terness in the rank and file of the
party and reduces our fighting
ability and enthusiasm against the
common enemy. In fact and in
truth there is no necessity for a
primary from a party stand point
and the public good is not, in the
least, advanced. 1t is purely and
simply modern method of hood
winking the voters to advance
the interests of a few politicians
who can see their way into office
by such a course. 1t fails to rec
ognize ability and fitness unless
backed by small fortune. In
this district are men eminently
qualified to fill the position of
Railroad Commissioner with credit
to their party and justice to all

Columbians, fellow townsmen,

interests, but are barred from en-
tering the race, in their own
party, on account of the fee re-
quired to pay the expenses of the
primary. 1t will require $4,000
to conduct the primary and the
call means that the two candi-
dates announced must foot up
$4,000 each to get a nomination
for a $4,000 position, We under
stand that one candidate was for
primary while the other sought a
convention or some other open
and inexpensive method. Be
that as it may; let any individual
go down rather than cripple and
destroy our party is the position
we take. Up with the man and
not the money. Speak in the
open and not behind closed doors
Resurect Democratic methods
and put aside political chicanery,
give every man a chance in a
free country and a Democratic
organization. The recent State
primary lost us three Congress
men; it brought division that
may yet be costly an d y e
in the face of these bitter cam
paigns and evidences of decay
we keep up the same methods
and truckle to the demands of a
few polititions who seek a clear
track regardless of the welfare
of our party. If the committee
can't see the fatal consequences
of placing an embargo on intel
ligent, worthy, but not wealthy
aspirants, then we are losing
prestige. 1t is the duty of COM
mittees to act for the good of
their party, and not for any GER
tain friend or member of it, and
if party action can only encour-
age the man with a large deposit
in bank, it will only be a question
of time when it will be defeated,
and in justice to the public good
ought to be. We believe in an
open field, a fair chance, an in
expensive expression of Dem
ocrats in selecting our nominees.
This can be secured by a del
egated convention giving every
aspirant his full strength. 1t
would be better to bury the prima-
ry and have a little wire pulling
in convention, rather than keep
adding fuel to the flame that has
already been kindled. In justice
to all concerned, and with no ak
to grind, but aiming only at good
party service, we can't see any
good to come under present
methods.

is backed, IN every instance, by
those who see its horrors and who
wish to make our citizenship
ideal. Middlesboro is the only
town in the eleventh district that
failed to vote it out and there
are doubts as to whether the vets
won by fair means in that place.
The majority was a bare one and
it is charged that the saloon peO-
pie secured illegal votes. In
every instance where a fight has
been made the only pleas to JUS
tify the saloons are that liquor
will be bootlegged and give more
trouble than saloons, and the sa-
looms pay a large part of the town
tax. In every fight yet to be
made the same pleas will be en-
tered. In a town or community
where it's sale is prohibited the
people depend on other resources
for revenue and know but little
about drunken brawls and disOr-
der, but where it is sold the rev.
enue derived from the saloons
is consumed in maintaining a
police force, in prosecuting the
unfortunate and contributing to
restitution. There is not a single
plea to sustain the sale of intoXi-
eating drinks. Its sale is a bust
ness and one that brings harm
rather than good. 1t lowers the
the grade of citizenship, destroys
homes, wrecks our brightest
young men as truly as it destroys
the mediocre; it is the greatest
curse that confronts any commu-
nifty and yet there are those who
may listen to the men who are
profting by its sale. No town,
no county, ought to license a bus
mess that is destroying its man
hood, Wrecking homes and bring
ing misery, simply because a few
men want to make money out of
it's sale. Lebanon is our nearest
town that legalizes it's sale but in
March vote will be taken to as
certain whether or not it will con-
tinue to do so. There is one
thing favorable to those against
the saloon business in Lebanon,
and that is that only $500. tax is
required and while they have
nine saloons the revenue loss
would not be but $500, a sum
too small to consider in the at
fairs of such a progressive city.
We trust that the good work
will proceed until Kentucky will
rank as high in moral standing
as it has heretofore stood in the
manufacture and sale of whiSkey.
