PattersOn'S Ovation,

If there was any doubt as to how
Shelby county would go, yesterdays
demonstration ought to settle it forev-
er. Gov. Paterson was received at the
union depot by wildly enthusiastic
crowd of several hundred. Senator
Carmack was met by about hundred
of his following, who managed to es.
cape with him without exciting but
few prefunctory cheers. All along
Main street there were thousands of
enthusiastic Patterson men on the
streets who made his progress from the
depot to his headquarters a continuous
ovation while Mr. Carmack's ride
through the street was about as cheer
full as chill.
The predominance of the white badges
along the route of the procession was
SO marked,that red badge excited con-
siderable curiosity.
The Democrats Of Tennessee may
rest assured that the vote of this coun-
ty will go to true and tried democrat,
Malcolm r. Patterson. His home peo-
pie yesterday seemed determined to let
the world know that they endorsed
him for second term. He has made
an excellent chief magistrate of Ten
nessee Not one vital criticism made
upon his administration has stood the
test of fact and memorable logic. There
is no faint upon the Patterson regime.
On the temperance problem he has
plumbed the lime drawn by his party,
and he can show practical results.
The candidacy of Senator Carmack
was inexcusable, and the people of
Memphis and Shelby county yesterday
proved they intended to stand by their
own citizen and give him their support
in preference to one who has tossed
the apple of discord in:the ranks of his
party and whose services to Memphis
have been less than nothing. Com

ARTHUR ACUFF VISITS
East Tennessee and Friends
for First Time in Many
Years and is Pleased

Arthur Acuff, of Chicago, came to
johnson City last week to spend a few
days among his old friends in the
mountains of East Tennessee. This is
his first trip to this section since he
went north several years ago. He is
still in the mail service and has a fine
run between Chicago and Omaha on
the @. b. & O., one of the best equip
ped roads in the north Arthur used
to do the work for Uncle Sam on the
Narrow Gauge from here to Cranberry
and made many friends who will be
glad to know that he has not only been
steadily promoted for merit but has
accumulated large portion of what
the world owes him and is taking care
of it, if he is single and thinks of re-
naming so. He left Sunday morning
for Jfferson City to visit homefolks for
few days before returning to Chicago
to 60 to work.

LITTLE JOE BROWN
Defeats Hoke Smith for Re
nomination as Governor
of Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, June 4. Replying to
your inquiry, it seems that the state
is certain for Brown by not less than
twenty thousand. Referring to the
result, the Constitution will say edil-
tOrialy tomorrow:
For the first time in the history of
Georgia, indeed, for the first time in
the history of the nation, governor
and his policies have been rejected
after one term by the same party
which placed him in power. The SOW
ing of the wind has brought its har-
vest, and the whirlwind of protest has
swept the state. Unlocked for, un.
expected, scarcely believed within the
bounds of possibility, that result has
come teeming with significance that
expands as thought dwells upon it un
til thought itself is lost till in incredi.
Incredibility. There is no man in
Georgia, be he supporter of Smith or
Brown, who was prepared for the
overwhelming force of the popular
protest which has swept the state.
The inconceivable has has taken
material shape and form. The incre-
dible has become history. But it will
yet be at least a day before either side
can come to full realization of what
has happened. Until then, until the
people have had time to collect their
reason and ponder calmly upon the
weighty meaning of the peoples voice,
discussion of the significance of the
result would be useless and out of
place. The Constitution will later
discuss in detailed and analytical man.
ner the meaning of the verdict of yes

it can only be said that the supreme
will of the people of Georgia has been
registered at the polls, and that will is

hour of danger.
- They have no right to
call upon them in their in
nocence and purity to help
a cause that means the de-
struction of a party that
has been their guardian
and their haven of refuge.
In the name of this commonwealth,
CT its manhood, of its past and it's fu-
ture, in the name of Jackson and Polk
and Johnson, let this battle be fought
and settled before the men and the
democrats of Tennessee.
Is it not strange that after all these
years the democratic party can not be
trusted to deal with moral questions?
1t has put upon the statute books all
the temperance and moral legislation,
and has followed public opinion wher-
ever it has been given expression. Can
not we trust it in the future as we have
in the past? The integrity of the dem
ocratic party and its dominance in the
south must be preserved at every haz
ard. 1t means too much for us to
weaken 1t or threaten it's destruction.
1t has carried our hopes and fears. 1t
has stood with us aud for US, and we
should not forsake it in the hours of its
peril. 1t is the party of self government
and individual liberty. 1t was born as
protest against force 1t brought hope
to mankind. 1t gave glory and strength
to the union. 1t clothed the state with
the attributes of sovereignty and the
individual with personal and civic lib
erty. 1t flung from his limbs the cruel
chains which bound him to superstition
and error. 1t raised him into his full
stature, and gave him the right and in
estimable boon to live and grow unfet-
tered. Under the banner of state SOW
ereignty and local self-government the
sons of the south fought on 1000 bat
fields, and though they lost they saved
and still chung to the principles for
which they bled and died. After the
war the democratic party did not disin-
tegrate, but lived for newer and even
holier task--it was to save the white
mans civilization and the white man g
home. 1t stood like the angel with
a flaming sword and drove back the in
vaders. 1t saved the blood of the race.
1t guarded the women of the south. In
that dark and trying hour after the
storms of war had subsidized the men
and women of the south chung to the
democratic party and to the democr
idea as to last hope and refuge. Shall
we betray that party now? Shall we
sacrifice it to crafty the ambition of
any man? Shall we spurn it's teachings
for new and strange doctrines? 1t
matters not what others have done, or
what others may do, the warning
should go out to the descendants of the
pioneer that there is danger ahead I'M
less the democratic party is saved in
Tennessee.

A prominent Carmack man in this
city made the statement this week that
if Carmack received a majority of the
popular vote he would run on in No
yember even if Patterson did get the
nomination. There is every indication
now that a concerted effort is to be
made to start a cry of fraud that will be
taken mp by 1916 newspapers and they
will call upon Carmack to continue IL
the race, and as he will have nothing
more to lose, he'll yield to the popular
clamor, or words to that effect. The
pilot thickens in intensity, but 1t grow
