Republican Masses Solid for
Veteran Leader

Governor Bradley has in his
Senatorial race the backing of
the Republican masses of the
State. He is believed and trusted
by more people in kentucky
than any living man. The Taft
boomers are not for him, but
they are not missed, for hun
dreds of Independent and even
Democratic friends of the gallant
and eloquent Bradley more than
fill their place. The Hon. NJ. H.
Thatcher, Governor Bradley
able manager states:
"There is great revolt among
Democrats againt the machine--
Democracy. Let us take advantage
of it-not for pun poses of evil-Sbut
for purposes of good 1t would be
splendid thing for Kentucky and
the South to have a man OF Brad
ley's ability in the Senate. 1t would
be to the undying benefit and glory
OF our State to secure the enact
megt~oi fair apportionment laws, a
bipartisan prisons board, a fair
election law, and other greatly
needed remedial legislation. By
maintaining among ourselves unity
and harmony, by bringing to the
support of these greatly deired ends
our full voting strength in the Cen
eral Assembly, l believe we can Sc
cure them; otherwise we cannot"

Another fact in the Senatorial

Another fact in the Senatorial
race is that the Lexington Lead
er Taft Republican, and the
Lexington Gazette, (Beckham
Democrat) join cordially in ad.
vising Governor Wilson to keep
hands off the Senatorial fight.
The Gazette states.
The new Governor has made a
good start. The people of Ken
lucky have already shown their
rea liness'to to support him in ev-
cry good work, and public opinion
is, after all the only only means by
which he can secure support for his
plans where the cooperation of the
Legislature is required. If he med
dies in the Senatorial contest, if he
shows that he has a greater desire
to advance the fortunes of political
friends than to promote the well
fare of Kentucky, if he plays game
of politics for partizan advantage,
if he regards the election of Re-
publican Senator as of greater i'm
portance than visa State legisla-
ton, he will lose the confidence OF
those to whom he owes his election
and his whole administration will
be failure.
Mountain advocate., 1908-01-03

York seriously hurt his cause and
helped that of Hughes. Senator
Scott, of West Virginia, admits
that while Taft may be in the
lead SO far, he is very closely
followed by Fairbanks and Can
non. The combined forces of the
last named gentlemen would
overwhelm the SECRETARY of War.
Mountain advocate., 1908-01-03

1909 will be overwhelmingly Re
publican. If he loses, a trium-
plant Democracy will win that
election and tie up Gov. Will
sons hands for the last half of
his term, in such a manner as to
insure the election of a Demo
cratic governor in 1911.

If Not Taft Then Bryan Soys
the POST.

DIR. Bruner, Secretary of State
Elect for Kentucky made big
hit at the Indiana REPUBLICAN
love feast. The Courier-Journal
says of him;
Though yesterdays love feast
OF Republicans was for Indianians
only, ostensibly, at least, one out
sider broke in and the love feasters
were glad that he did-atter they
heard him. He was called to the
platform by Senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge, presiding officer, and intro.
duced as DR.. Ben Bruner, the baby
politician of Kentucky" who was
elected Secretary of State on the
successful Republican ticket. DR..
Bruner looks like boy, but he is
old in political experience. He be-
gan by making stump speeches for
Republicanism when he was sixteen
years old, and has kept it up ever
since. He talks straight from the
shoulder and makes his listeners sit
up and take notice. His speech yes
terday won great applause, partic-
ularly that part of it which pledged
Kentucky's twenty-six votes in the
National Republican Convention to

HoppY when wrong.

Col. Bryan, of Nebraska, is
never happy except when wrong,
Speaking of the recent Ken
lucky election, the farmer-edi-
tor states:
The Repu blicans whoare try
ing to extract satisfaction out of
the result in Kentucky should
examine the vote. They will
find that the Democratic vote
was thirty-twO thousand less
than it was in 1908, and that the
Repu blican vote was six thous-
and less than it was in that year.
In other words about thirty eight
thousand of the voters stayed at
home, not to speak of the natural
increase in the vote. The Re-
publican candidate for governor
was elected and the Republicans,
though not securing control of
legislature, made gains. This,
however was not due to an ac-
tual increase in the Republican
vote or even to the popularity {
tbs Republican candidate, for h
actually received fewer votes
than the Republican candidate
of four years ago. The trouble
was that the liquor question hr~
the Democratic party in the
les, while factional fights Will
the party hurt it in the count.
Much as the result is. to be d
plored, there is no reason
doubt that the Democratic par
will carry the State by lai
majority in the presidential ca
paign of 1908, for all of the +
tions are united on national
icies. Kentucky will be
the Democratic column as
as election day comes"

Mr.. Bryan wrong. In 1908
Beckham received in round
bers 229, 900 votes, Mr.. Be
POP. 900. In 1907 Gov. w
obtained 215, 700, Mr..
1871, 900. Mr.. Wilson thus
a gain of 5000 from the B
vote of 1908, and Mr..
a loss of $4,000 over the
ham vote of that year.
The future will take caHe on

striking testimony is adduced to
show how a lessening of drunk
ennes leads to lessening of
law breaking. Knoxville is a city
or 10000 souls. What the clos
ed saloon means To that busy and
thriving community the Senti-
mel tells:
"On the Saturday be fore
Christmas, usually day of dis
order, there were, this year, sew
EN- arrests for drunkenness. as
against forty-seven for the cor
responding year, when the sa-
looms were open. On Christmas
Eve, there were five arrects for
drunkenness, as against fifty
two year ago. Certainly, there
is great canse for qualification in
this showing. Closing the sa-
looms may not have stopped all
drinking. No sane man exp ct-
ed that it would. BUTT has re-
duced it to a minimum. Re-
member that we have the same
police force. There is no slack
ening in the vigilance IN enforc-
ing the laws. If anything, ar
rests are now r.9defor drunken
ness on les ,provocation than a
year ?
crime is diminished by the
liberation Of the saloon:
1.-THE truth is that despite the
Importation of liquors, carousal
has been almost entirely stop
ped and the effect may be seen
not only in the reduced numbers
of arrests for drunkenness, but
in the reduction of arrests for all
crimes, and in the higher aver
age of sobriety in every respect
throughout the community, to-
gether with all the attendant ben
efits which temperance brings.
OF course, il is too early to make
extravagant claims, but surely
every good citizen of Knoxville
shonld be pleased with the splen-
did showing and. ought to feel
the more determined never to
take backward step nor remit
in the least in the enforcement
of the slendid law"
Restriction of the liquor traffic
does not restrict general bust
ness:
"The merchants have enjoyed
a magnificent Christmas trade.
Knoxville, as shown by the clear
ing house exchanges and other
statistics, has had less setback
in the recent financial furry than
any other city surrounding it and
is now ready, with renewed con-
fidence, which is prevalent, to
go ahead in 1908 to still greater
property.
When Knoxville can show
good results may not Senator
Carmack's prediction come true?
That eminent statesman not long
ago declared that some now liv-
ing would see the day when
America had no saloons.

PRESIDENTS
And Their Successors
How Tennessee Turned
Down "OId Hickory"

con VlctiOnS OF those who have en-
/ trusted them with office and power
may well take lesson from a pag,
in Tennessee history. AT one period
if the voice of any one man wa:
ever supreme in Tennessee, it was
that of Andrew Jackson His dom.
mating sonaIity overshadowed
all Others, and dictated party poll.
cies. But there came a time when
Tennessee's self-reliant, indomtable
and masterful spirit of equality and
freedom refused longer to submit to
"old Hickory's" domination and
dictation. The crisis came in S35.
Tennesseeans had folio Ned I'M
swervingly the Jackson standard
through all the fortunes of war and
politics. They had seen him tri-
umphantly elevated twice to the
highest Office OF the national govern
ment. They were justly proud OF
his achievements. Toward the close
of his second term, they had fixed
upon another great Tennessean as a
worthy successor IN the presidential
office-Hugh Lawson White. Jack
son owed mnch Of his political sue
cess tc Martin Van Buren,. There.
fore, he determined to make Van
Buren, his successor. 1t was mag
unanimous enough to say that after
his choice had occupied the presi-
Dental chair two terms, he would
exert his influence to make White
Van Buren's successor.
Seeing Tennessee bent on nomin-
ating White, Jackson uttered a
threat which precrpitated a politi-
cal contest in the State without
parallel. He said that White, in the
event he ran, should be odious to
society. Up TO that time, White
was opposed to the use of his name
for the exalted Office. However,
with the issuance of the ominous
threat, he determined to run. In
doing so, he obeyed the popular de-
mand that had been so persistent.
Jackson thereupon put to work all
the party patronage and machinery
at command to humiliate White
and to retire ANONYMOUSLY to private
life every prominent public man in
Tennessee who espoused the cause
of the Cato OF the American Sen
ate.
As the arch offender, John Bell
must be defeated for Congress. A
governor must be elected favorable to
the Jackson dynasty. William Car
roll had been three times Govern or
of the State, the constitutional
limit. This provision was deemed
abrogated by the new constitution
of 1884. Having made a fine record
as executive Carroll must run again.
A new organ must be started at
Nashville, which by its virulence,
denunciation and vituperation must
rain anathemas upon any and all
supporting White. Jackson himself
must leave the seat of Government
at Washington, and throw him.
self with vigor into the thickest Of
the fight. Such was the program
carefully worked out and energet-
ically put into effect.
This great and hitherto victorious
leader and his partisans never made
a greater blunder, nor did astute
politicians ever meet with a more
signal defeat. Though Tennesseans
had loved and followed the old
chieftain, they Indignantly rose in
their might and crushed the agen-
cies he had employed in defiance of
their wishes and behests. They
were sovereigns. They had their
preferences. They determined to
rule their domestic affairs. Amid
