Governor Patterson opened the
debate and had the ueual reioinder,
in the latter becoming especially
vigorous in his criticism of his
competitor for the attacks made
by the latter. The Governors re-
joinder was the most spicy portion
of the discussion. The Senator
was very vigorous in his reply to
the Governors speech. No new
matter of particular moment was
brought in by either speaker.
The opera house where the de-
bate was held is known to seat

bly, 1000 in all crowded within the
four walls. Many who desired
to hear the debate, were, of
course, unable to gain admission.
F. j. Smith was referee. He
spoke eloquently of the strength
of Democracy, and urged that both
candidates, to whom he referred in
most complimentary terms, be
given close attention. At 1.34 p.
m. Gov. Patterson was presented
as the first speaker.
GOVERNOR OPENS.
Gov. Patterson, in opening his
speech, said that he was glad in
deed to be here and to meet the
Democrats assembled. He said be
regretted that the debate could not
be held in the open air so all Dem
ocrats could hear the discussion.
He expressed qualification at the
in which he had been well
coined here and referred appropri-
ately to the strong ties which bind
lim to his people. The Governor
hen began his regular speech.
The Governor made an argument
q support or the Democratic sec
md term precedent. He said, how
'ver, that Senator Carmack had
he right to run if he sees fit, but
he people of Tennessee have
light to know if his candidacy is
incere. He declared that no iu-
or was more incompetent to Judge s
case than was Senator Carmack
o Judge as to his (the Governors
ecord. He said the Democratic t
'arty should decide whether he t
hould be set aside to satisfy the n
mbition of his competitor. ii
Gov. Patterson then took up the n
eview of his administration. He Il
epeated his declaration that there Il

was no blot upon the fair escutch-
con of Tennessee, and that his
competitor had been unable to show
the contrary.

AS TO TEMPERANCE.

The Governor next took up the
temperance question. He asked
the Senator to say whether he had
not on October 5, 1906, declared
in favor of permitting each COM
munity to vote on the saloon ques-
ton. The Governor said this was
the Democratic platform, and when

CoNFEDERATE PENSIONS.

The Governor next discussed
Confederate pensions, referring
eloquently to his deep attachment
for the South and the Confederate
veterans, the guard in gray, whose
ranks are fast thinning out. He
said he had been informed that ov-
er seventy of these veterans in this
county were supporting him.
The Governor spoke of the high
standard of efficiency and success
with which all the State institu-
tions are conducted, and dwelt in
detail upon the prison system, re-
viewing in this connection his par
don record. This theme was treat
ed as in former speeches. In this
connection the Governor made
special reference to the Roak and
Minor pardons, saying after tell
ing his reasons for granting these
pardons and of the recent death of
Minor, that he would rather be in
the position of the Governor who
pardoned Minor than in that of the
man who criticised the pardon.
The Memphis charter bill was
discussed, as before. He said it
was thoroughly understood that the
Memphis charter changes would
be made, the whole thing being
fought out by the Democrats there.
He said, who besides Senator Car
mack, had ever "dared to criticise
an Executive for signing a bill
because the Supreme Court haa'
declared it unconstitutional"
PRIMARY PLAN. MD

en- up. The Governor T very

AS TO TEMPERANCE.
The Governor next took up the
question. He asked
lA Senator to say whether he had {

The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1908-06-12

cot it in the form of the Pendle-
ton law, but at that time the Gov
ernor was standing somewhere else.
The Senator said in discussing
the question of local option as il
applies to this question: "Tell
me, can the State prosecute crime
and have nothing to do with the
greatest breeder of crimeW He
dwelt with much eloquence upon
upon the evils of the whiskey
traffic, the debauching influence of
saloons and the campaign they are
conducting.
The Senator then debated the
primary election plan. His argu-
ment in condemnation of this plan
and in favor of a general, direct
primary was not different from
that of former occasions.
QUESTIONS PRESSED.
The Senator again asked his op-
ponent if he would trample so, 900
majority under foot and accept the
nomination? He also pressed upon
the Governor the proposition to
leave the nomination to majority
of the Democratic votes cast and
counted under the present plan.
Neither of these questions were
answered by the Governor when
the speaker paused for a reply.
The Senator quoted Senator Tay-
lor as saying he had seen in this
primary plan the seeds of revolu-
tion in party management, the
danger of the final overthrow of
the power of the majority of the
Democracy to decide who should
be the nominee Of the party and
the consequent enthronement of
the minority, giving it power
which alone belonged to the ma
jority; that the result would be
the strangling of the popular will,
foreshadowing the prohibition of
future primaries in the State; that
he had always believed that every
Democrat should have as mnch |
power at the ballot box as any
on aeemocrat, and that the peo-
&sdnesday.'e sbe sid sIer aapp-

to give an estimate that the Lane
Foster bill would have cost the
State one-fourth as much as the
Governor had estimated, he (Sena-
tor Carmack) would quit this race.
The Senator said the statements
he made the other day with regard
to the treatment Capt. William
Forrest had received while waiting
an audience with the Governor,
while Mr.. FIournoy English, who
had caused Capt. Forests humili-
alton, was dined at the mansion,
were made on the authority of the
widow Of Capt, Forrest. The SEN
ator said he had not brought this
into the compaign, and made this
explanation to Gov. Patterson.

a man goes back on his platform
he is always in disorder. When
the Governor referred to the Sena-
tor with sarcasm as a "great re-
former" who is now for State
wide prohibition there was a great
cheer from the Carmack side, fol-
lowed by a demonstration from the
Patterson side when the Governor
quoted his opponents 1906 utter
ance. The Governor declared with
emphasis his allegiance to the
Democratic platform and reiterat-
ed that he was no more the friend
of liquor men than the Senator. He
reviewed temperance legislation
signed by him, and again declared
that he would always remain on the
party platform. The Governor
referred to the increased tax on
the remaining saloons in Tennes-
see which he had recommended
and closed his speech with his plea
for the preservation of the Demo
cratic party and principles.
SENATOR REPLIES.
Senator Carmack, as he began
his reply, expressed delight at be-
ing able to meet the stalwart Dem
ocracy of Obion. The Senator, in
reply to the Governors charge
that he was not a Democrat, de-
clared he had been fighting the
battles of Democracy long before
he ever thought of seeking an Of
fee, long before his competitor
had ever made any speech for any
party nomination. He said it

GOVERNORS REJoINDER.

GOVERNOR REJO1NDER.
In rejoinder, Gov. Patterson re-
piled with vigor to his competitor.
He said the Senator had not only
taken back what he had said, but
quoted those who had opposed
him.
The Governor SAID that Capt.
Russell of Columbia had declared
the Senator would be crawling at
the feet of the Prohibitionists.
The Governor said he was now so
crawling.
The Senator thought this was
new matter, and the referee SO.
held, but the latter said the Gov
ernor could proceed, if he so de-
sired.
Gov. Patterson then proceeded
to score his opponent in vigorous
terms. He declared, in effect, that
Senator Carmack was in the same
political bed with j. H. Mcdowell;
declared that bat for his "waspish,
malignant, bitter tongue," he
might still be in the United States
Senate; charged the Senator with
putting words in his mouth tsons, !,

He said at the time he made the
speech which the Governor quoted

A SPANISH TRICK.
The Incident Which Moved England to
Turn Drake Loose.


The relations between which brakes
raid into the south sea had for
time threatened with open rupture had
greatly improved-at least in outward
appearance-and in 1855, under spe-
cial promises of immunity from mo-
lestaton on religious or other grounds,
Philip had invited to his ports a fleet
of English corn ships in order to sup
ply the deficiency of his own harvests.
No sooner, however, had the English
ships arrived than an embargo was
laid upon them and their crews ar
rested
One ship, the famous Primrose of
London, managed to escape. While
lying off Bilbao quietly discharging her
cargo she had been visited by the cor
regidor of Biscay and his guard dis
guised as merchants. Suddenly called
upon to surrender, the crew flung them
selves upon the Spaniards, drove them
all overheard and made sail. Some of
the discounted Spaniards as the shore
boats fed were seen clinging to the
English vessel. These were humane
ly rescued and carried in triumph back
to England, and among them was the
corregidor himself. Upon him were
found his official instructions, setting
forth expressly that the embargo was
ordered for the purposes of the eXpe-
dition which Philip was preparing
against the English. This was enough
for the queen and the powerful pub
lie opinion of commercial circles in
London, which had obstinately clung
to pacific relations with Spain. A re-
taliatory embargo was proclaimed let
ters of general reprisal were issued,
and Drake was let loose.-From Publ

CEYLON ELEPHANTS.
The Only Species In Which the Males
Have No Tusks.

What Il sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view of Il
herd of African elephants-all tuskers.
1t is singular thing that Ceylon is
the only part of the world where the
male elephants have no tusks. They
have miserable little grubbers project
ing two or three inches from the upper
jaw and inclining downward.
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens throughout Cey-
lon. Although some of the buffaloes
have tolerably fine heads, they will
not bear n comparison with those of
other countries. The horns of the ma
tive cattle are not above four inches
in length.
The elk and the spotted deer's ant
lers are small compared with deer of
their size in India. This is the more
singular as it is evident from the geo
logical formation that at some remote
period Ceylon was not an island, but
formed Il portion of the mainland. 1t
Is thought that there must be elements
wanting in the Ceylon pasturage for
the formation of ivOry.-Ceylon Man

An Austrian Doqherry.

The Vienna men of law once dis
tinguished themselves in unique man
ner. \ Wachau peasant had been
caught in the criminal act of throwing
stones at rabbits. He had not hit
them, and the rabbits had decamped
without so much as suspecting the att
tack, but the peasant was hauled be-
fore the high courts of justice. His de-
fense was that the rabbits had been
close to his garden and that he had
only tried to frighten the greedy ro-
dents off his cabbages. All the same
he was condemnc' TO three days i'm
prisonment The peasant appealed
against the sentence, but in vain. If a
rabbit had been killed, said the authori-
ties, the peasant would certainly have
stolen it, and stealing a rabbit was an
unlawful action. And thus the man
from Wachau went to prison for three
days, and the wise judges of Vienna
bounded into fame for their method of
applying the "if" and 'and' theory
