BOGUS PRIMARY

Friends Admit That The Governors

Nashville Tennessean this morning
carries the following story:
The expression of the people on the
bogus primary called by the democrat
I ic state executive committee was one
continual voice Of condemnation yes
terday on the streets of the capital
city.
Not only around the hotels and in
public places. but in the stores, banks
factories and everywhere the people
gave voice to their indignation in no
uncertain terms.
How in the world could the COM
mittee ignore the plain wishes of the
voters?" was asked by those who did
not know why. Others who were not
surprised at the overriding Of the pop
uIar will spent their time in wonder
ing what the effect would be.
On this question there was no DIFF
ference Of opinion. The sentiment
was unanimous that the committee,
however much it desired Gov. Patter-
sons nomination, had done the COVER
nor the worst turn 1t could possibly
have done him. The refusal to call q
direct primary was laid by everyone
at the door of Gov. Patterson, who,
it is conceded, dominated the COM
mittee and controlled its action.
One word from him would have
given the people direct primary cleo
ton, the friends of the genuine pri-
mary pointed out, but he gave the
word for the bogus.
Il concede that it has greatly In
jured the governors chances, without
adding an iota to his strength" said

great number

The men, most of whom we're Ital-

of others carried red flags having a
blazed border. When they reached
Broad street, a few blocks from the

marchers and beaten. Policemen ran
to the rescue and riot call was sent
in. When the reserves rushed down
upon the marchers a general riot was
in progress.
Some of the marchers drew revolv

the mounted officers, riding into the
center Of the fight, used their clubs
right and left upon the heads OF the
leaders. In the melee three policemen
were shot and slightly wounded, and
Charles Nom, who was watching the
fight, was struck m the leg by stray
bullet. Reserve Officer Pyott was
beaten, and is in hospital, as is Po-

SENATOR CARMACK

DECLARES THAT PATTERSON HAS
SHOWN THAT HE CANNOT
TRUST THE PEOPLE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 21.--Sen
ator E. w. Carmack last night gave
out the following statement on the
committees action:
1.-TWO years ago Gov. Patterson de-
clared that no man could object to
direct primary unless he feels that
he cannot trust an expression of the
people" and he has illustrated by his
conduct the truth of this maxim.
What the committee did today has
long been foreshadowed. 1t was a
brazen and shameless defiance of the
popular will an act of desperation on
the part of ring determined to per
petuate its grasp Of power in spite of
the people.
Il believe that no committee ever
displayed its partisanship for one can
didate with so little regard for even
the appearance OF fairness. None but
known partisans of the Governor were
permitted to be on the subcommittee
or to have any part in framing the
resolutions, though am Informed that
the governor himself was admitted to
take part In its deliberations.
Personally. can regard the result
with eQuanimity, for you cannot de-
fraud the people after you have pub
lished your intention to defraud the
people"
