A CORRECTION.


been nothing more remarkable
or disgusting to the honest voter
than the misrepresentation that
have been carefully and persist
Iingly disseminated from a tainted
source here and elsewhere.
1 AS editor of The CHRONICLE we
have come in for a share of the
vituperation SO recklessly heaped
upon the heads of those who are
supporting Senator Carmack. OF
course the object and purpose are
well understood over the county,
and are not worthy of notice.
We have been credited with one
! statement, however, which we feel
called upon to refer to, and that is
that "ouly saloonkeepers, bootleg
gers and buns are for Patterson, "
or words to that effect. The state
ment is not only palpably false,
butit is gross insult to the man
hood and intelligence Of the Dem
ocratic voters of Benton County.
We have said, and repeat, that
while there are some good men
Christian men-supporting Gov
ernor Patterson, they are compar-
atively few and are sadly out Of
place. A few of them, we regret
to say, are supporting him with
an ardor worthy of a better cause.
Men differas to policies dissues
and we deny to no man the pripi-
lege we assume in discussing the
chief issues of the campaign.
We believe, however, that our
readers and the people of Benton
County know-if they do not they
have had abundant opportunity to
learn-that we have always been
on the side of temperance. And
being on the side of temperance,
we are on the side of the man who
is on the side of temperance.
Quoting. a distinguished divine
of our State, one of the purestmen
in Tennessee, 1--WE put principle
above men, religion above politics,
moral above material interests,
boys above money and the home
above the saloon"
We have always stood for prin-
ciples, not men. 1t is frequently
the case, however, that the man
represents the principle SO dis
tinctly and the issue is. so acute
that to battie for the principle in
the most effective way compels us
to battle for the man.
"Io stand for a principle and
not stand for the man who stands
for the principle when the time
comes, is not only inconsistent, it
means to lose the principle as well
as the man. This fact no one un-
derstands better than the saloon
keeper; and this fact TEN mperance
people ought to come to under.
stand and to act on
We regard Senator Carmack as
one Of the truest and purest and
noblest as well IS one Of the ablest
men in public life today, not only
in Tennessee, not only in the
South, but in the entire nation.
Ifit were simply a question of
choosing between Senator Car
mack and Governor Patterson on
personal groul - We should be
for,Senator Carmack. Of course
this would be an individual opin-
ion about persons and would not !
be necessary to mention in par
ty contest. II
Again, we endorse Senator Car
mack's position with regard to the
other issues of the campaign, and

and quoted similar opinions held
by many Of the ablest men and
strongest Democrats in the State
Z fof Tennessee.
Let us consider the situation
and reason together as men and as
Democrats. Here are two men,
both candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor.
While there are many issues lu-
Evolved, the chief issue between
them is the question Of temper
ance, the abolition of the saloons
and distilleries and breweries from
the State of Tennessee.
One man-in his campaign two
years ago-promised repeatedly
on the stump.from Carter to Shell
by that he would sign any temper
ance measure that might be pass
ed by the General Assembly. On
this promise he was elected.
After his election, and even be-
fore his Inauguration as chief ex-
ecutive of our proud State, lie did
everything possible, by influence
and by word, to prevent the pas
sage of any temperance legislation.
When, despite all his efforts to the
contrary, some temperance meas
ures were passed over his head, he
threatened to veto the principal
bill, and signed it. only at the last
moment under protest, after being
convinced by his friends that his
refusal to sign it would mean his
political ruin. Afterwards he did
veto two other of the main tenn
perance measures passed by the
General Assembly.
During the campaign now draw
ing to close he opposed every
day, most bitterly, the movement
for Statewide prohibition of the
liquor traffic from our State so as
to bring Tennessee In line with
her sister Southern States. His
chief argument against the move
ment is that it is "undemocratic" !"
Now listen. The man who put
through the primaryplan, to which
we have frequently referred, and
the man who is a member of the
sub-committee to appoint all Of
the officers Of election over the
State and to carry out the provis-
ions-of the primary plan, is attor-
ney for the Chattanooga Brewery
Company and other liquor inter-
ests of Chattanooga, and was one
IF the notorious lobbyists of the
allied liquor interests of Tennes-
see before the General Assembly
two years ago.
Thus it is easy to see in whose
interest the present primary plan
was devised.
Back of this candidate also is
the "Model License League" a
National liquor organization, with
it's announced purpose to prevent
any further temperance legislation
in Tennessee, and its million dol
lar corruption fund. LINED up
solidly also behind this candidate
areall the saloonheepers and boot
leggers. and distillers and brewers
of the State.
Onthe other hand the other can
didate has come out boldly and
fairly and squarely in favor of the
principle Of Statewide prohibi-
ton, and has been making de-
termined aud earnest fight on the
stump every day for that princi-
pie, which means the abolition of
the whole whisky traffic from the
State Of Tennessee.
Lined up with him are nearly
all the ministers of the State. of
every denomination and creed

fact that a man nominated by dis
