When the crowd began to boot n
Dir True when he stopped the Sen.
ator the first time Senator CarmaeS
stated 10 the people thar. while Mr..
True differed from him politically. he
was his personal friend, and he felt
sure the mis-. axe was not intentional
on the referees part.
This is the first unpleasant incident
that has arisen in the refereeing Of
, the debates.
Governor Had Overtime.
/ At Centreville last Monday Gov.
Patterson was allowed two minutes
overtime on his rejoinder by the pre-
siding officer, James B. Walker, a
Carmack man.
The prohibition leader came into his
own in this city today. The town was
another vast sea of waving red. Ev-
everywhere, the red badges were in evil
dence. Most of the homes and bust
mes S houses were decorated in Car
mack colors. while probably four-fifths
of the great crowd of 5000 who surged
into Springfield from all parts of the
county to hear the debate wore the
red badge.
All Carmack's Way
1t was the most one-sided assem-
blage that has been encountered since
Lebanon, and the claim that old Rob
ertson is almost solid for the Senator
seemed fully substantiated.
Indeed, the assertion of one enthusi-
astic Carmack man that Robertson
will give Carmack 5000 majority"
appeared not to be so extravagant an
estimate after today's demonstration.
Senator Carmack has received many
splendid receptions since this cam
paig began, but none have surpassed
in magnificence, beauty and cordially
the inspiring and royal greeting he got
here today.
From the time he arrived in the city
from Nashville, at o'clock a. M, he
was greeted as conquering hero, and
his tour drought the streets at the
head of his parade was one grand tri-
umphal march. Thousands cheered
him at every point and Robertson
beauty and chivalry turned |
out en- masse to do him honor.
Tobacco Patch Out in Force.
The great "Black Patch" which is
for the senator, was
here in full force. Tobacco farmers
left their patches and came to town to
ride in the big red parade.
The tobacco growers are strongly
for Carmack They honor and admire
his campaign fight for the people
against the trusts, and the senator's
recent declaration that he will strive
% have the next legislature enact a
aw to fine every lawbreaking trust
rom one thousand to million dollars
,emented the affection of the tobac-
20 growers.
