1ILLMAN'S SPEEC ACCEPTING
NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR
REPUBLICAN srANDARDsEARER The ISSUES OF THE
COMING STATE

In his speech accepting the RepuO-
ucan nomination for Governor, Dir.
TilIman said.
Gentlemen Of the convention: l
the more highly appreciate this great
honor and responsibility which you
have seen proper to impose upon me,
because il has come 10 me without my
seeking. think my friends will tes-
tify, who have been In close COM
munion with me, that | have sought
TO escape this burden, not because l
did not appreciate the honor as 1t
ought to be appreciated, but because
1 shrank from entering upon politi-
cal campaign, not feeling physically
able TO endure its hardships, and being
also a sensitive nature, / dreaded the
shafts OF malice and falsehood that
assail almost every man who seeks
political preferment. But, my fellow
citizens, my health has been improv-
ing the last few days, daughter and
applause) and as for sensitiveness, l
imagine that / detect a thickening of
my skin. | doubt not that before this
campaign is over | shall be as tough |
as the hide of a rhionoceros.
Now, my fellow Republicans
have not claimed, nor do l claim any
very superior merit, either in point OF
ability or otherwise. AS / said TO my
friend, Col. Pettibone, last night, be-
1ieve it was-without intending any
thing personal towards him-that
where man had very bad reputa-
ton, he was generally as bad as his
and where he had an extra ;
fine reputation he was not quite as
good as his reputation So, ali iii the [
world that / claim is just to be an
average man. And when | am decry- /
Ing myself, | will say this: that I t
believe the average man, after all, is t
the man that does this worlds work. S
It isn't so much the man of trans a
sending ability or brilliancy but the a
nan who is faithful in everything, in f
small and in great. And all that l "
ian promise you is this, and | will fl
make the same promise to Republi- W
ans and Democrats alike that ii | Il
hould be SO fortunate as to be elected
o the high Office of Governor, what
yer talents | do possess will be de-
oted zealously, faithfully and untir- p
1gly to the service of the whole y
tate. (Applause.) And ! shall not p
eek, If | should be Governor, to gain al
hereby any party advantage to you, q
ne Republican party, except such adj y
antage as might come to you by III
lithful and honorable discharge of w
lie duties of that office. (Applause.) ~
Ghosts of Past Battles.
''In the conduct of this campaign l ~
} not expect to invoke the ghosts of ="
ygone things, of battles long ago. ."
y views, fellow-citizens, with the ~
pse of years, have changed upon ~
any things, on many subjects, and r.-
have many of yours; and 1t is not
hat we thought years and years ago, ,Ne
it what we think now and what we
can to do now that will interest the ;

Better Things
1T is a good thing 70 have material
prosperity; it is a good thing to have
factories. innumerable factories. and
rich fields and cities and towns and
business Of every kind-thaI is ali
good. But there are much better
things One OF those better things Is
that the citizens OF our State should
have high ideals that they should all. as
far as ii is possible, be brought up 10
that high standard. that they should
all, whether Democrats or Repubh-
cans, love justice, pursue mercy anu
do everything, in politics and every
thing else. as God gives them to see
the right. (Applause). That is bet
ter than anything else. Why, gentle
men, was looking out OF the window
out there a while ago as the bright |
sunshine from the Western sky CLINT |
ed over this busy city and saw how il
beautified everything. how it lighted |
up the tops. of the houses and made /
the windows blaze and let fall down
over all the city this beautiful light
and made it worth looking at; and so
it is when you have embedded in the
hearts of the people correct ideals,
proper views of destiny. Why, gentle
men, can you imagine, for instance, q
member of a Christian Church,
Methodist, a Baptist-a member Of
any church, stufing ballot box? Did
you ever hear of such thing? Max

there between the State prohibiting
saloons In towns where they already
exist and prohibiting the reintrodUc
tion OF them into those towns when
the majority of the citizens who have
this right of self-government demand
that they should be reintroduced? 1t
will not do to say that because they
have once put themselves under the
Adams law that they shall never take
themselves out from under the
Adams law; for the Legislature to do
that would be to violate the very
plank in Gov. Patterson's platform
and take away from the citizens of a
town the right to control themselves
in this matter, for the right of self
government means the right not only
to pass laws but to amend laws;
not only to make constitutions but to !
abolish constitutions, not only to es- !
tablish regulations but to alter those
regulation And if Mr. Patterson
should triumph in the November cleo
ion, it means a reversal, in my
opinion, of this whole movement. And
hat is exactly what the enemy is
dining to do. To show you that this

Election Laws.

Now, fellow citizens, with regard
to the election laws. | believe, | do,
indeed, | believe it, and some of you
may think my faith is very strong,
that we have arrived at place in
this State in our progress where our
/ brother Democrats, our fellow citi-
zens that are Democrats, l do believe
it, are going to join hands with US il
framing and perfecting an election
and registration law that will be just.
l believe that is going to be the case,
and that is all we want AS your
platform declares, the present cleo
ton and registration law is ira
vesty upon. popular government. The
political faction of the Democratic
party that is now ia power controls
the whole thing from top to bottom.
AS stated in your platform, they
have the majority in the counties of |
the Election Commissioners, and they
can dictate majority of the officers |
at every precinct and ballot box in
the State. Now that ought mot to be.
And we claim and we insist that the
two leading parties ought to have
equal representation in the election
and that each party ought
to be permitted to select its represent
atiYes or to furnish lists from which
the officers of the Government shall
make this selection for the minority
party, the party that needs protection.

States Business

Now fellow citizens, | did not in
tend to make you any long speech.
There are a great many interesting
subjects touched upon by this plat
form. You know the State has a
great deal of business That business
requires the Governor to give his
whole time and talents to his part in
the transacting of it, And upon that
we have no party differences. We are
all agreed, just as this platform says,
there is no differences in our objects
and aims. For instance, the Demo-
Gratis and | are agreed that the hos
pital for the insane in East Tennessee
in Middle Tennessee and in West
Tennessee should always be amply
provided for that those hospitals
should be wisely administered by the
very best talent and the best Christ
ian men and women that can be
found That there should be no eff I,
fort spared on the part of the State |
to take care of its afflicted and its
insane We all agree on that, there I
is no party difference. We agree also
upon the management of all the prop
critics of the State, that it should be
done economically and efficiently.
There are great many subjects
that I expect to deal with in the COM
ng campaign, but have not arranged
hem Systematically to speak to you
upon them here today.
You take : the Herbert Domain;
hat was bought under Gov. Cox's
administration. 10000 acres of land at

State to do. And | say more, that

Beware of Narrow Tires.

Where the soil is stiff or loamy it
pays to use the split log road drag
after it rains and before the ground
dries hard. Nine-te tenths of the country
roads could be made into splendid
thoroughfares by the proper persistent
use OF the road drag and wide tires
Wide tires alone will keep a loamy
road in fairly good condition with just
one scraping in the spring to round up
the turnpike. Sandy roads are much
more serious problem, but sometimes q
surface of clay will soon mix with the
sand to form a hard track, and wide
tires will keep it hard and smooth so
the rainwater will run off quickly to
the sides, but narrow tires will ruin
such Il road surface quickly by cutting
ruts to hold water 1t would be diff
cult to invent a worse implement of
destruction, especially on roads that
are inclined to be sandy.

In last weeks issue an error was
made in stating that candidate for
County Treasurer, Mr.. VIM. Gum

The County Commissioners are
the men who handle the business of
the county, who expend the money
of the taxpayers, and whose good
Judgement depends Oh the public
welfare. For that reason the people
are directly concerned, and in vot-
ing they should exercise the wisest
discretion. The Republicans of this
county have nominated f. w.
Peal and William III. Rogers, men
in whom public confidence can be
placed. Their selection would mean a
careful business administration. That
fact is assured.
