DemagOgY Rampant.

And so Charlie Miller makes an aft
davit that Patterson asked him to use
his influence to get his veto of the Pen
dleton bill sustained.
Miller says this occurred in the pres
ence OF the Hon. Thomas M. Scruggs
the evening before Patterson signed
the bill.
This Carmack urges as a bill Of at
tainder against Patterson, under which
bill he wants to convict him of high
treason to statewide prohibition.
But Patterson did sign the Pendleton
bill.
Whether Patterson wanted to sign it
or did not want to sign it ought not to
be an issue in the campaign.
A man ought to stand on his record
Patterson is trying to run on his record,
but Carmack, knowing that he can not
make any lnroads ON his record, al
ways keeps out of it,
What difference does it make wheth-
err Patterson liked or disliked to sign
the Pendleton bill? He signed it. 1t
is law, made so by the governors sig
nature
Patterson may have changed his
mind fifteen minutes before he signed
the bill, and this should relieve him of
all criticism from Carmack. If he
changed his mind he was doing what
Charmack has done about every ques-
ton that he has ever discussed. In ev-
cry issue in this campaign brought for
ward by Carmack, he has been on both
sides. To get on both sides he has to
change his mind. That is why Car
mack's mind is so badly tagged. He
has worn it out changing it.
But suppose there was something in
this indictment by Carmack more than
demagogy and means by which Car
mack could open the sluice gates of his
jaw.
Gov. Patterson denies that he has
ever spoken to Charlie Miller about the
Pendleton bill or the Lane. Foster bill,
In fact, he says he has not spoken &c
Miller M several years. Mr.. Miller
has always bitterly opposed Gov. Pat
terson.
Mr.. Miller says that Mr., Patterson
asked him to use his influence to gel
his veto of the bill sustained. Patter
son denies it. In court of law Mr.
Miller's bill of complaint against Mr.
Patterson would fall to the ground
Mr.. Miller says this conversation
took place in the presence of thirC
party, Judge Thomas M, Scruggs, o
Memphis. Judge Scruggs says that b,
never saw Patterson and Miller in con
versation the night before Patterson
signed the Pendleton bill. judge
Scruggs says he never heard and con
versatlov, or heard of any conversation
between Miller and Patterson in thu
Maxwell House lobby. nor any othe
place
Further, Judge Scruggs says that, s,

We have high regard for Hon. W.
W. Faw, but must be excused from
betting all our wealth upon his polite
al forecasts. He says Carmack is q
sure winner and will carry large slice
of Middle and West Tennessee. 1t will
be remembered that Faw was equally
as sure Carmack would defeat Taylor
and that Cox would defeat Patterson.
His political horoscope is inverted.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1908-06-25

The Bristol Herald Courier was new
er more mistaken in its life than when
it says Patterson forced himself upon
the democratic party once but will not
be able to do so second time. The
truth is, the democrats forced John I.
Cox out of his way and will lay Car
mack aside with equal determination.
Democracy is not in mood to be tri-
fed with in Tennessee.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1908-06-25


veto of the Fendleton bill the evening
previous to his signing it, that Patter-
son told him forty eight hours previous
to his signing the Pendleton bill that
he inten ded to sign it.
Now this was the chief issue in Car
mack speech the last few days Yet
on stuff like this he appeals to the dem
ocrats of Tennessee to turn down Pat
terson.
Again, Carmack, in order to speak of
the great service he is doing the people
of Tenness by running for office, tells
how, like Caesar, he thrust the sena-
atorial crown away which was offered
to him by the machine" if he would
not run for governor.
Carmack waved this rejected crown
all oyer West Tennessee until finally
it began to become frazzled. Then he
became more specific and said that VIM
Brandon, or, as one of his organs says,
VIM. b. Brandon's son, said to friend
of his that if he tCarmack) would not
run for governor, they would all get to,
gether and elect him to the senate
Carmack stated that, 50 far as he knew,
OF course Patterson was not a party to
this offer, because Patterson, unlike
Csrmack, does not try to run the whole
machinery of the democratic party
when he is in Office, for be it remember
ed that when Oarmack was in Office he
spent most of his time trying to control
the appointment of election commits
sioners in Shelby county, dabbling in
ward politics, bolsterlug up the cause
of local boilers, kicking up disturb
ance in Maury county and lobbying
around the legislature at Nashville.
Suppose that Brandon did say to his
friend what CaEmack states. What of
it? Or suppose that Brandon's son said
to Carmack's friend what he says he
said, what of it? Brandon makes a
statement in another column of this
paper as to what he did in the matter.
Granting that Carmack is telling the
truth, and granting that Brandon is
telling the truth, what business has
Carmack trying to make this a cam
paign issue?
The fact is, if Carmack did decline
this senatorial crown, if he really fool
ed himself into belief of what he al
leges is true, it was probably because
he realized that the people of Tennessee
though Brandon and other friends we're
acting in good faith, would not permit
them to deliver the goods.
When this primary is over, the com
bined influence of Patterson, Brandon
and even Bob Taylor could not con-
vince the people Of Tennessee that Car
mack is good enough democrat to
represent the democracy OF the demo
cratic state of Tennessee IN the senate
of the United States Memphis Com

N RABBIT DRIVE.
Pest There, a I'm Australia, Ia

Becoming Serious.
alifornia Is beginning to reckon with
e rabbit pest. In Fresno County they
ave appeared In such numbers and
re such a pest to the farmers through
heir depredations upon the crops, that
re keeping down of the rabbit supply
3 the leading question with which the
griculturist has to wrestle.
Acres upon acres Of crops have been
literally eaten up by these nuisances
and 1t, Is found necessary to hold regu-
larly organized drives, participated in
by all the ranchers for miles around, In
order to prevent them from literally
eating up the country.
On the morning OF the drive the
ranchers and participators move out
over the plain In a close line miles
long, mounted on horseback, In buck
boards, and all sorts Of nondescript
outfits. Dogs Of all breeds range
through the " to stir up the Turk
Ing animals. The line moves steadily
forward, the lodging animals In front
becoming more numerous as the drive
progresses. Here a rider makes a
dash out Of the line In an attempt to
get a shot at a coyote which has tried
TO slip through the line. Long-eared
Jacks and cotton-tails now literally
swarm the plain In advance OF the line.
Toward noon the riders on the ends of
the line ride ahead and draw in toward
4 fixed center, where fences have been
constructing conyerging toward a stock
ade Or corral. The line now forms a
huge letter u, with the ends resting on
the outer ends Of the convergIng fences.
The center Of the line continues to adj
vance, driving the thoroughly frighten-
I'd horde of rabbits into the funel-
shaped lane between the fences. Down
this narrowing lane they crowd, 1t be-
'ng the only way left open, and as
the passageway narrows the thickly
packed rabbits trampllng over each 9TH
er present the appearance Of a STAN
|pede in a crowded theater during a fire,
wifi every person trying to get out the
same exit first
At the narrow end Of the lane Is an
opening leading Into a circular stock
ade. Through this opening the animals
crowd, being driven steadily forward
by the advancing line OF shouting men
and boys, and into the stockade, where
they trample about, a solid mass of
thoroughly heightened and helpless
creatures.
When all have been driven inside and
the stockade Is clored the slaughter Of
the animals begins. The rabbits are
stoned, dubbed and kicked to death. In
one recent drive in Fresno County 5000
rabbits were slaughtered.
