REAL HERO
PLAYS LEADING ROLE IN PLOT
TO BAlk VILLAINS SCHEME
TO DE A I'D LOVE lY
HEROINE-BUTF FALLS DOWN.

Left stranded in Spokane by the
arrogant manager of a road show
the Comm Through the Rye
company-all because she refused
to be grated out of one dollar OF
her hard-earned $40 week, was
the story of Miss Lois Crawford, a
charming show girl, and the cause
of a hasty mixup at the Northern
Pacific depot yesterday.
The show girls valiant champion
was Constable Blonde" Wood. To
go back to the beginning, the trou,
BILE arose over Manager Reilly at
tempting to fine Miss Crawford 81
for being late to rehearsal. She
told him she Just wouldn't stand
for it, and he told her that she
might Just as we'll consider that
her pay had stopped. Then he sent
her trunk back to the hotel and
refused to allow her to accompany
the troupe until she acted better
about it. Someone notified the
constable of the occurrence, and
also of the fact that the company
and almost 500 that was owing
Miss Crawford in wages would
leave town at 8 o'clock on the
Northern Pacific.
Blonde is nothing if not
chivalrous; so, declaring that he'd
do the best he could, even stretch
a point if necessary, for the fair
young lady, hustled on his authority
and reached town in double quick
time.
When Manager Reilly, his pretty
show girls, actors, property men
and others arrived at the depot,
there was Blonde" comforting
Miss Crawford in his inimitable
way.
Now, so early in the morning is
an ungodly hour to arouse justice
of the peace, no matter how
urgent is the case, and by all the
ethics of such job as Blonde
holds, the person of the justice is
sacred, especially when reposing
between blankets on frosty morn
ing.
SO he had no papers Of attach
ment Or anything else except his
trusty howitzer, which it would be
unjustifiable to flash among all
those women. So he tried to run
a SANDY on Reilly:
where's tn manager O this out
fit?' he inquired.
To the best of his recollection,
four different men spoke up. 1t
was evident that Reilly was next"
and was keeping out of sight.
SO "Blandie" did the best he
could, which wasn't enough to
make up to Miss Crawford her sew
eral weeks hard earned wages.
Those who saw the show will all

Pastor S. G. Wilson, of the Cal

he claimed amounted to s239.66.
This was paid to him and he was

him that if he didn't shut up held

MISS BOSTICK
WINS FREE TRIP
WILL BE ONE OF THE PARTY
SENT TO EUROPE BY THE
TENNESSEAN.

1t is understood that Miss Bessie
Bostick, Of Columbia, has won the
trip to Europe from this district of
fered by the Nashville Tennessean.
This district is composed of the coun-
ties of Maury, Giles and Marshall and
several popular young ladies entered
the contest and the honor paid Miss
Bostick is quite a substantial one
The party who won the fourteen free
trips offered by the paper will leave
Nashville next week for an extended
tour of Europe
No candidate could have won the,
prize from this district who would
have given greater satisfaction than
Miss Bostick. Nor could one have
secured the prize who will appreciate
it more or who will get more out of
the trip to Europe. Miss Bostick is
one of the most popular and deserving
young ladies of this section and the
fact that she has been successful in
her efforts to win the prize will be
the cause of much qualification by
he people here.

MACHINE POLITICS hun EAO.


The Herald Is a democratic paper.
II never fails. and Il Will not now fan
70 support the party nominee.
But il would be false 10 its duty. II
it permitted the high-handed action Of
the State Committee 10 go without a
woTd Of rebuke. II was not only ma
chine politics. drunk with power, but
was an unparalleled act Of peridy and
dishonor towards the Democrats Of
Tennessee.
On every stump Governor Patterson
appealed for the votes Of statewide
prohibItionists by telling them that
they could put a plank in the Demo
catic platform, embracing their views
and he would stand by and uphold
such a platform. Upon this plea he
obtained votes enough to win his cleo
ton. The Committee has now robbed
the part. OF all hope to put plank in
the platform.
1t has chosen to be faithful to the
Democratic enemies Of the saloon,
whose votes they obtained by prom
Uses as fair as they are now shown to
be false.
If the present plan had been adop-
ted before the primary instead of after
Governor Patterson would have been
defeated; and the Committee has Civ.
en- to every democrat reasons to ques-
ton whether he is not released from
every pledge or obligation to support
him now.

The COMMITTEES ACTION.

| In denouncing the pretended action
of the Democratic State Committee in
changin the plan for the selection OF
the delegates to the convention next
week as 'unwarranted, arbitrary and
wicked usurpation of power" the
Democratic Committee of Maury coun-
ty voiced the sentiments of an over
whelming majority of the genuine
Democrats Of the county. If the pre-
cedent which the State Committee
has attempted 10 establish this year
goes without protest and condemna-
ton popular government will become
a mockery and the perpetuity of the
party will be threatened.
Although during his campaign Gov.
Patterson declared his undying devo-
ton to the sacred principle of local
self government" the action which
the committee took at his dictation
violated that principle as it has never
been before transgressed in Tennes-
see or by Committee anywhere pro
Tossing the faith of Jackson and Jeffer-
son. The Committees action was
more fragrant, outrageous and unwar-
ranted usurpation of power than any
ever attempted by Brownlow during
reconstruction days.
There are doubtless a few Demo
Gratis in this county who because they |
are blinded with partisan zeal for |
Gov. Patterson, who do now endorse |
he arbitrary and revolutionary course
If the State Committee, but the day |
will come when they will join those
whose party loyalty they now ques-
ion, in the most violent denunciation
If the latest machine outrage. The
Committees action can never be jus
flied before genuine Democrats. Ma
,hine rule is not Democratic rule.
The party is founded upon popular
lights and whenever it surrenders to
corrupt political machine all power
o think and act for it the Democratic
arty will cease to exist.
There may be those who masque-
ade as Democrats, but there is little
| name. The party cannot survive +
it is false to its every tenet and ,
aithless to the people. If there is t
single principle of the party which /
le present machine has not shown t
opposition to violate if necessary to {
its existence, 1t is not dis
ernable to the naked eye.

All honor to the Democrats of East
and West Tennessee. If the Demo
Gratis of this section had done their
part the cause of good government
and temperance reform would have
won a magnificent victory. In West
Tennessee, where the Governor has
lived all his life thirteen of the twen-
ty-one counties gave Carmack majorl-
ties and a change of few votes would
have given him three or four others.
In East Tennessee 1t was almost a
landslide to Carmack despite efforts
to debauch and corrupt upon scale
never before attempted.
