The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1908-06-12

The Patterson and Carmack
committees had arranged Tor
very extensive parade here last
Thursday, the day of the debate,
but on account of rain the plans
were all upset, and in the confu-
sion only a portion OF the vehicles
and floats were seen on the streets.
In summing up the crowd in town
the majority was claimed by both
sides. If we were to testify on
path would state as our opinion
that the crowd was fairly well
divided. No man could state pos
itively without counting, which
would be impractical, whose side
the majority of voters stood for
that day.

Everybody was pleased with the
speaking last week, Every fellow
thought his candidate had left
nothing whatever to claim and no
grounds for the vanquished to
stand upon Indeed it was very
one-sided affair, according to the
theory of either a Patterson or a
Carmack booster. The eagle

ty looks on with a peculiar ming
ling of dismay and delight.

TOO LATE FOR OBSTRUCTION.

The Pendleton law is a Tennes-
see statute 1t may not be Demo-
cratic, but it was made by Demo
cratic legislature, elected by a Dem
ocratic majority. The last Demo
cratic platform made by the will OF
a bare majority declared it undem-
ocratic, but the Legislature with a
larger majority approved it with
Democratic seal. Now in extend
ing this law the authorities may, if
they see fit (and we see no reason
to interpose an objectiou), suspend
the rules long enough to allow a
vote. But all these things are i'm
material-they are positively insig-
nificant compared TO the popular
demand for the abolition of the sa-
loon. There was a time probably
when the Pendleton method was an
impractical expedient, a time even
when local option was nobody's pet
rfsbema. These periods have both
