BIG SANDY.

Bf you will allow me the space /
will give you a few lines from un-
der the "Pisen Oak" Doubtless
you have heard Of as through the
Patterson organ, better known as
the Star.
If it is an organ we guess it is
like all the Pattersonites-it it has
about played its last tune, for all
of us "Pisen Oak" fellows believe
that Patterson and his organs will
be buried beneath an avalanche Of
ballots on June 27.
"rhe Organ" would have every
body believe that everyone in this
end of the county is going to vote
for Patterson, bat it will find out
on election day.

JUST A POINTER.
Big Sandy. June s.

Liquor dealers in other States
! are urged to come to the rescue Of
Governor Patterson IN the present
primary by Bonfort's Wine and
Spirit Bulletin Of Louisville, KY,
"the leading liquor magazine OF
the United States" in its issue Of
May 25, 1908.
The publication referred to calls
attention to the great Importance
Of the fight going on in Tennessee,
and frankly admits the odds are
against it's candidate, Governor
Patterson.
1t urges writer's and speakers
from elsewhere to get busy, but is
especially anxious that "contribu-
tions to aid the creation of strong
organization" be sent at once to
head Carmack off, if possible.
The quotation from the Wine
and Spirit Bulletin is as follows:
The fight in that State is between ex-
Senator Carmack, who is advocating
Statewide prohibition, and the present
Governor, Patterson, and the favor Of
conditions remaining as they are. Both
Of these gentlemen are Democrats, and
eachismak ing a fight for nomination for
6iovernorin Tennessee. The Democratic
nomination is equivalent to an election,
and in consequence the nomination of
Carmack provided he had a Legislature
with him favorable to his views, would
mean the destruction, not only OF the
wholesaler and retailer in Tennessee,
butof'the brewer and distiller as we'll
The trade in Tennessee is making a
strong fight, but it must be remembered
that this trade is confined to three conn
ties out OF ninety-nine and that the odds
against it are very great Assistance
from the outside in the way of writer's
and speakers, and also contributions to
MD the creation of a strong
would seem imperative.

1t is easy to understand why the
saloon interests and whisky SYM
pathizers have lined up behind
Governor Patterson. He not only
tried to defeat the Penylleton bill.
which closed over four hundred
saloons in the State, but he vetoed
the anti-jug bill. Mrs Silepa nj.
Holman, president Of the Tennes-
see w. G. L. t., says never before
in the history Of our State has So
heavy petition for the passage Of
any law been sent to the Tenness-
see Legislature as was sent for the
psssage Of this measure. And he
vetoed it in the face Of the earn
estly desire and over thesignatures
of tens Of thousands of the best
people in Tennessee.
