goaded on by liquor, John Henry on
Friday night shot five times at Mrs.
Ellen Fulton after first knocking her
to the ground with his fist, three shots
taking effect and resulting in instant
death. This murder done Henry left
his home on Cedar street, where the
crime occurred, and according to his
own statement made this morning to
q representative Of the Evening Times,
was on his way to kill Ollie Henneson
and Jack Brighteye Reynolds, whom
he claimed were responsible for the
trouble between he and his house,
keeper. Mrs. Fulton, when overtaken
by omcer Bliven and placed under ar
rest. The murderer is confined in the
county jail with a charge Of murder
in the first degree hanging over his
head.
Tho murder Is one OF the most cold
blooded ever committed in Grand
Forks and the murderer, while ap.
parently realizing the enormity Of his
crime, seems but little worried over
the outcome. He discussed every de-
tail of the tragedy this morning with
the Times representative, telling his
story Of the killing and of his inten-
tions of numbering the two men with
no show of regret, except that he had
been unable to carryIout his plan. The
prisoner is the worst example OF moral

The crime WA6 tcfaaffdf dftted az John
Henry's residence ION Cedar street,
just OF Fourth avenue. During the
early part of the evening Henry had
been engaged In dispute with his
housekeeper because OF her attentions

had ordered from the place. Il seems
that Reynolds had been at the Henry
residence in the afternoon, this. being
the cause Of the trouble. The quarrel
continued some little time, and finally,
when the Fulton woman told Henry
she had given one Ollie Henneson
some money, the murder took place.

Carmack knows that ladies and gen

Now, my friends, the Senator's old
friends and acquaintance down here
in the Fourth Ward didR't go back
on him. They took care of their old
neighbor in this fight; they gave Gov,
Taylor 60 votes, and they gave the

ABSURD PROPOSITIONS.

Senator Carmack has endeaVored to
break up the plan of the committee by
making all sorts Of theatrical and i'm
possible propositions. He asks me to
agree to set aside the plan of the COM
mittee and to adopt his, when he
knows have not the power to do it
and would not if | could. He demands
to know if l will accept a nomination
If | get majority of the delegates,
but do not receive majority of the
votes, and says that he would not. My
own opinion is that he would, but
if he would not it would leave the
party without a candidate, for if the
delegates were instructed against me
could not be nominated, and if Sen
ator Carmack did not receive a ma
jority of the votes he would not ac-
cept a nomination. Equally absurd
is the proposition to ask the commit
tee to now change it's plan, or there
are four candidates for Supreme
Court Judge, two for Railroad Com
missioner, two of the Court of APP
peals, making eight to be voted for in
addition to the candidates for Cover
nor. 1t is the childish and impossi-
BILE offer of man who sees defeat
evitable. Neither he nor can change
the plan. 1t is the deliberate action
of the constituted authority of the
Democratic party, and is binding upon
every Democrat 1t would be surpris-
ing in any candidate who had any re-
spect for party action to make these
offers, but party robes hang loosely
on Mr.. Carmack these days, and it is
not surprising that he is willing to
do so, for he is demanding every day
that Democrats should stultify their
platform. 1t is perfectly apparent that
Mr.. Carmack is willing to disrupt the
party to crafty his ambition. His
purpose is manifest

THE CARMACK PLAN.

The plan he proposed provided that
the candidate who received the high
est number" of votes should be de-
clared the nominee, and there are
four candidates to be voted for the
one office of Supreme Court Judge.
AS the highest number does not mean
a majority, it is nearly certain that
the successful candidate will receive
only plurality of the votes cast. This
was strikingly exemplified in the pri-
mary election just held in Davidson
County, where there were nine candi-
dates for the office of Trustee, and out
of about $4,000 votes cast the nominee
received only $500, which was the
highest number received by any one
candidate.
The fact that only two are running
for the Office of Governor is not an an
swer, for there might have been a
number of candidates, and rule if
good now should be good for the next
primary and under different condi-
tons
When this sort of shallow and uni
formed criticism is disposed of, the
people will see they have plan of
nomination which guarantees, so far as
human foresight and caution can go,
absolute fairness. The voting Is to
be uniform, to occur in all the coun-
ties on the same day, the 9th of June
Each candidate shall have equal rep,
resentation in judges and clerks. Each
will have watcher at the polls to
witness the casting and counting Of
the ballots. The ballots will be count
ed at the voting places in the coun.
ties and certified to by the election
officers What further method could
be devised? What man who would not
be satisfied, unless he had determined
in advance to discount defeat by the
cry of fraud?
But Senator Carmack will not be
content with anything save what he
wants. 1t is in thorough keeping with
his character and history to denOunce
all persons and things which do moi
suit his peculiar fancies. He deliber
ately offered a plan which provided
the voting should occur on the 29d Of
May, which would have prevented 8
canvass of the State, and denounceS
one which occurs on the 9th Of
June and gives an opportunity to can
vass. He tried to force a plan or
the people which the convention re
fused to indorse, and procured county
committees to ask for it when it was
not their province, and when to do Sc
was party disloyalty. He offered {
plan to the committee which provid

did not want the law extended 60
them Nashville asked for a segrega-
ton law and l signed that-Chatta-
nooga for an excise law and | signed
that. After the Pendleton law was
passed the most prominent leaders Of
the anti-saloon movement stated open
ly that it was all they wanted, and
said that the people of the cities
where liquor was sold should have
the right to vote it out. The Demo
cratic platform declared in express
terms for the principle of local self
government on this question and was
elected on that platform. Senator
Carmack announced himself as a can
didate last September and never
stated once until he made his speeche
at Chattanooga that he was in favor
of abandoning the Pendleton bill and
the Democratic platform for state
wide prohibition, On the contrary his
whole record up to the time he made
his first speechc in this campaign was
opposed to compulsion and in favor
of settling the question by a vote of
the people.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1908-06-18

In doing so he stultifies himself, for
he has qualified in writing as a candi-
date under the plan. His attacks are
born of desperation. He raises an
issue of good faith, but does not keep
good faith with the people He is
violent in language, reckless in state
ment, uncaring of consequences and
bitter in denunciation without excuse
or reason. Neither he nor his man
ager, nor the newspapers that advi-
cate his cause have given the plan to
the people. They have studiously
avoided the light-preferring yituper-
alton to argument and coarse abuse
for faults Mr.. Carmack holds me re-
sponsible for wholly imaginary
wrongs. He is not candid enough to
state that after the action of the con-
vention, in the very first speech |
made in opening the campaign with
Mr. Evans that | distinctly stated
would recommend uniform action by
counties in making nominations. He
does not tell the people that | did
make the recommendation in positive
terms to the Legislature. He fails
to state that a proposition to commit
the party to state wide primary
was introduced in the convention and
not even considered. He passes by as
of no consequence the matured and
deliberate action of his party, my own
consistent attitude as a Democratic
nominee and a Democratic Governor,
to traduce and defame.

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

My fellow-citizens, I repeat that it
is both unfortunate and unfair that
the prohibition question should now
be raised in Tennessee. The record
OF the Democratic party in favor of
temperance is one in which Demo.
Gratis may take just pride Begin
ming with the fourmile law to prevent
the sale of liquor near incorporated
schools, it has been extended with the
consent Of the people until now liquor
has been banished from every place in
Tennessee save four, and it can at
any time be voted out in these four
places under present laws. Hereto
fore 1t has been the universal rule of
the Legislature to abolish characters
and to recharter either with the con.
sent of the people directly expressed
or the representatives of the people.
What is known as the Pendleton law
has extended the four-mile law over
the entire State, and while this law
of itself does not drive liquor from
the cities in which it Is now sold
yet If the charters of these cities are
abolished it does apply.
This measure was advocated by The
leaders of the Anti-Saloon League who
stated that If it was passed 1t would
eliminate the liquor question from
politics. signed this bill although
