The Carmack prohibitionists are mad
at the Pendleton bill because they say
Patterson signed it under protest. Per-

towns affected.

The Carmack club in johnson City is

AFTER FAT OFFICES.
You say that if Mr.. Uarmack is nom
mated statewide prohibition will be
put in the democratic platform and all
the saloons will be banlshed, while if
Mr.. Patterson is nominated the reverse
will occur. Why, my dear madam, you
seem to think that the whole country
will go to ruin if Mr.. Patterson is nom
mated. Has it done so during his
present administration? Has morality
or temperance received any CHASTITY
wounds by stroke from his mighty
arm? Are there any more saloons in
Tennessee today than when he was
electedS Are there any more gambling
hells, or is horse race betting any more
frequent now than before? Your talk
indicates that you believe the very
worst element in all the land will be in
the saddle, unless Mr.. Carmack is nom
mated. You are mistaken. No back
ward steps will be taken in the morals
of our state unless it is brought about
by the intolerant spirit of some temper
ance people, who mean well, but whose
Judgment is bad, aided and abetted by
corrupt and designing politicians, who
are trying to get to the fat offices by
making bridge of these people. MIR.
Carmack says he is for state wide pro.
hibition. Why, then, was he not for
Judge Bond two years ago, instead OF
for John |. Cox, who was for state wide
saloons? E. L. Folk, of Nashville, is
for Mr.. Carmack Two years ago was
he not for this same man Cox, after
Judge Bond was eliminated? In oul
own county l could mention a number
of men who say they are for Carmack,
because he is for state wide prohibi
ton. Two years ago were they not fOl
this same man Cox, who was for state.
wide saloons? Did this man Cox even
do anything for morality and temper.
ance all the years he was in the general
assembly? Please tell me, did not this
same man Cox and his henchmen make
the first move to get Mr.. Carmack tc
run for governor? Was the Anti Sa
loon League ever called to meet to con.
slider either statewide prohibition OF
Mr. Carmack? Or did these scheming
politicians, whose entire lives have
been spent against prohibition, first
get Mr.. Carmack out and then succeed,
through Mr.. Folk and only few of his
AntiSaloon colleagues, in declaring
this campaign for prohibition? Dc
you not know why the temperance peo
pie were not called to indore this mar
and his measure? The clique was afraid
of the wise counsel of the thousands Of
good christian temperance men of Ten
nessee, who they knew would advise
against indOrsing man with the oh

NOT THUGS AND THIEVES.

You wisely, in your letter, advised
your supporters of Mr.. Carmack to
avoid harshness in dealing with the
friends of Mr.. Patterson, but your sd
vice has not been needed, and were the
intelligent, moral, christian women of
Tennessee who are supporting Mr.. Pat
terson thieves and thugs they could
not have been more roundly denounc-
ed. | am proud of the company am
keeping in this campaign, not because
we have all the good people, but for
the reason that the showing of this
class is just as large and respectable as
for Mr.. Carmack. Mr.. Carmack has
some excellent temperance people for
him, but he also numbers in his follow
ing many men who never in their lives
were moved by single impulse that
looked toward the prohibition of the
liquor traffic. If Mr.. Carmack can at
tract these men and not be condemned,
why can not Mr.. Patterson do the same
without being denounced for it?
, have tried to weigh both men i'm
partially, and have not yet found any
! good reason why Mr.. Patterson who,
without great pretensions, has given
8 the temperance people all they ask for,
Y should be denied the usual second term
in favor of Mr.. Carmack, who has new
y er done anything as an officeholder ex-
q cept vote for the Hepburn Dolliver bill

I am for Mr.. Patterson because of his

Creatures of The People.

This country of ours has no
more essential element of nation
al life than that of our bankers,
and it is a thing to be proud of
that their integrity is an example
of honor set up by every man for
his sons. "As good as money in
the bank" is an American axiom
that should never be discredited.
The banks are essentially the
creatures of the people, depend
ent absolutely upon the conf
dence of the people, and the
greater the familiarity of the
people with their operations the
greater will be this confidence.
A dollar put into a bank will run
out and in again a dozen times
in a week, employing labor in
honorable occupation, promoting
helpful enterprises, doing errands
of mercy and expanding its value
several times during the week.
A thousand of them will build a
home for some family, creating a
thousand dollars in value which
would otherwise be valueless
stone, clay and other raw mate
rial. Without the bank these
collars could not do this, but
would lie idle somewhere exposed
to dangers from fire or theft, or
profiigate waste in spending it.
