Chattanooga has a local Anti-Saloon
League with a membership of 5000.
They are mostly young men, and they
are workers, and Ham Patterson will
not get vote out of the entire lot.
But the Chattanooga Brewing Co., and
its allied whiskey interests also have
a goodly company organized, armed
and equipped with booze and Doodle,
and Carmack will not get vote out
of that entire bunch. Indeed this
gubernatorial fight is rapidly assum-
ing proportions much bigger than
either of the aspirants for the office,
and the fight will be not nearly so
much for Carmack or Patterson, as 1t
is for certain principles. "Shall the
People or the Machine Rule" will be
one of the leading issues. Carmack
will boldly espouse the peoples side,
while Patterson will be compelled to
defend the machine. "Shall Mem
phis, Nashville and Chattanooga,
citadels and strongholds of the whis-
key devil, control the politics of Ten
nessee or shall the remaining ninety
three counties have some voice in
state affairs will be another, and I'M
questionably the paramount issue.
Carmack says the liquor traffic, which
cannot be controlled must be destroyed
and driven from the state. Patter-
son calls that "histeria," and mon
and appeals from that to the
sane, sober sense of thoughtful peo-
pie" These utterances of themselves
ally Carmack with the temperance
people. and Patterson with the whis
kew people: and all of Patterson's
prating of signing bills which he
cursed and abused while in the
very act OF signing them, don't amount
to a hill Of beans among sane, sober.
