MISREPRESENTATION.

There was probably never IN the
history of the State candidate LOT
nf,ce who was as reckless in his state
ments as Gov. Patterson. He has scaR'
regard for the facts and little respect

been called down during the campaign
upon statements which were shown 10
he utterly without foundation, but the
Governor appears not to be dismayeu
and the next day finds him with anoth'
or equally as absurd and unjust'iiaole
statement.
When at Ripley few days ago 'ne
Governor offered a gratuitous ihsul'
TO the people Of that county because
they showed all too plainly by the col
ors they wore that they do not endorse
his machine. He declared that Two

THE REPUBLICANS.

There has never been campaign
where there was as little regard for
the truth as has been manifested by
the Patterson organs in this contest
The Nashville organ, the chief OF
scandal mongers, is trying to create
the impression that all the Republi'
cans are supporting Senator Carmack
With the exception of few personal
friends Of Mr. Carmack every Repub'
lican in Tennessee hopes that Patter'
son will be nominated. In this county
there are not over half dozen Re.

for the national victory which in the
fullness of time is inevitable in the
political triumph of right.
"Political Rction-We record our de-
Iiberate judgment that no candidate
for any office which may in any way
have to do with the liquor traffic has
a riqht to expect, nor ought to receive
the support of Christian men SO long
as he stands committed to the liquor
interests or refuses to put himself
in an attitude of open hostility to
the saloon. We hold that Il Is the
duty of every Christian voter to vote
for a reputable, qualified, temperance
candidate upon another ticket, In
preference to dlsreputabIe or unfit
one, controlled by the saloon, upon
his own, 10 the end that righteous

Years sgo he had been the victim OF
snap action in Lauderdale county
and that action had been taken In me
race TOR Governor before he had an op-
nortunity 10 be heard. An investiga-
ton discloses the fact that Gov. Pat
.ersop spoke twice in Lauderdale
county more than a month before the
county convention vas held two years
ago The further fact was disclosed
that he Sas the only candidate that
did speak in that county.
Because the good Democrats OF
Iauderdale county DO not approve the
undemocratic course Of the present
administration they are to be insulted
and slandered. This is the logic Of
the Patterson campaign. No better
Democrats ever drew the breath OF lie
than those of Lauderdale county; they
have been as true and fixed in their
LOYALTY 70 Democracy as the needle TO
the North star. Lauderdale is
"black belt" county; its people have
shared the struggle, as few others IN
Tennessee have of the people of other
Southern sections to preserve white
supremacy and the domination OF the
Anglo Saxon. To the Democracy OF
Lauderdale county no sacrifice has
haen too great: no struggle too hard !;
no burden too heavy to bear if neces'
sary for the preservation OF Anglo
Saxon supremacy and racial purity
The Democracy of Tennessee salutes
the proud, loyal and true Democrats
on Lauderdale county and promises
them its hearty support in the war on
the liquor traffic.
These facts, however, do not appeal
to the Governor. In his wrath and
Indignation that any one should ques
ton his right to rule, he will not hesl
tate to condemn any one or slandei
anv county. In the Governors estl
nation no Democrat has right &c
oppose him. He is the party; the
great / am. A little power and brle1
authority has turned his head. He
ruled Legislature now he would rule
all the constituents of all the Legisla
tors. But the Governor is finding ou'
to his dismay that it is not so easy te
corrupt and intimidate and control

tives of the people.

BOGUS DEMOCRATS.

That the primary plan which mas
we'll merited the universal description
which has been applied to 1t OF DO
gus" was conceived in iniquity ana
eleven to the public in utter disregard
Of the plain mandate of the people oy
"hogus" Democrats will hardly admit
of disnute. If evidence of this were
lacking. however, it is furnished by a
glance at the record of those who con
ceived and foisted upon the party the
plan. The leaders in the movement
to thwart the popular will have SHOWN
that they would rather see the Dem
ocratic party destroyed than to sur
render the little brief authority that
they enjoy by the grace of their mas
ter, M. R. Patterson.
For the first time in the history OIL
the State the people were denied the
right to elect their representatives
to the State convention. This was
done. it was said, to avoid contests In
the convention But with the Patter-
son manipulators the plan has not
been successful. In two counties Vi

pointed to the State Convention next

the situation at once and bolted ana
