CAMPAIGN PusLIcITY.

The Republican majority n the ia
-ieth Congress has been playing cheap
notifies ever since the session com
meDeed but the most disgusting ex-
bibition VET given was the adoption OF
rhe Crumpacker amendment 20 the
campaign publicity bill For months
the Democrats have dared the Repuo-
lican majority to PASS a law that
would require the publication OF cam
naign contributions. Smarting under
the challenge Of their opponents Wnich
they realized would become one OF the
issues in the Presidential campaign
and fearing the result, the Republican
leaders decided to load the bill down
with an amendment that would insure
its defeat at the same time escaping
responsibility for failure to legislate'
The campaign publicity bill with
the amendment reducing Southern
representation in Congress could be
come a law. The Republican leaders
knew this when they adopted the
amendment In fact that was the con-
fessed purpose of the amendment
They have mighty poor opinion OF
the intelligence of the people If they
believe that any one is going 10 De
fooled by this latest manueyer. Inc
naonle know a handsaw from hawk.
The efforts of the Republicans are TOO
thin and transparent to deceive any
one and they ought to be heartily
ashamed of themselves if they believe
their constituents can be so easily de-
luded.
The Republicans have never been
sincere in their declaration to reduce
representation as penalty for the DIS
reimbursement of the negro. But II
the South must pay that penalty LOT
IFS law to insure the supremacy OF the
white race it will make the sacrlhce.
II will not be bluffed nor threatened.
The white man will continue to rule
the South no matter how severe the
punishment which the Republican par
tv NAV attempt No threat OF reouc-
ton in representation will deter the
Southern people in the unalteraoie
determination to deprive the negro OF
political power.

ADDITIONAL DEBATES.

In forcing Gov. Patterson to con-
tinue the joint discussions, Mr., Armis-
lead, Senator Carmack's campaign
manager, has achieved a distinct vic
tory. OF course the Governor would
rather have closed these discussions
at the appointed time. 1t has been
apparent for several weeks that Gov.
Patterson realized that the debates
we're doing him no good. He has
found that campaign with an able,
alert and vigorous opponent always
on hand to check reckless statements,
is very different from going 1t alone
over the State giving full range to his
Imagination. The Governor has found
to his sorrow and to his cost that there
is a very decided difference In cam
paigning alone where he can make
any statement, no matter how foreign

CARTER ON HISTORY.

Colonel Carter doubtless knows all
about the Governors personal naVai
and military establishment OF the
state composed of politician pie nun
tiers for whom there were no otner
Jobs. but as a political historian ne is
| !, most lamentable failure. For the
nurnose of casting aspersions upon
the Democracy of those two counties
and nv insinuation and inuendo to
charge Carmacks friends with fraud,
the redoubtable editor-colonel, whose
yalor is equal to his ignorance, re-
! nrints from the Dover Curier an argu-
ment that there must have been ballot
| box stufing in Williamson and Maury
counties in 1906 because the vote was
heavier than in 1904.
For the information of the editor
colonel his attention is called TO the
fact that the Parker vote in 1904 was
the smallest that any Democratic can
didate for President has received In
Tennessee these twenty-five years, and
is not a fair criterion of the Democrat
ic strength in Tennessee. In 1896,
eight years before Parker's ill-starred
race, Bryan obtained 10000 votes in
Tennessee, about $4,000 more than
Parker Bryans vote four years later
was $4,000 more than Parker got, and
600 more than were cast in the Sen
torial primary.
In the county Of Maury Bryan in
1896 received over $500 votes with
poll tax prerequisite. In the Car
mack-Taylor election ten years after
ward with no poll tax required, only
1920 votes were cast In Davidson
county Parker received but 100 votes
while the total vote in the Carmack-
TAYLOR election was over 10000 and
vet no friend of Mr.. Carmack charged
that there was any fraud, because
every intelligent man knows that there
Is uniformly a larger vote cast IN
primary with no restrictions whatever
than in the general election. For in
stance in Davidson county last week
1000 were cast, nearly twice as many
as Bryan received. Only few weeks
ago Maury county had a primary for
county officers and 1000 more votes
were cast than Parker got in 1904 and
vet there has never been whisper
of fraud Let the editor-colonel be
fair as well as valiant.

WHO RErRAYs The PARTYa

In his speech at Memphis, Gov. Pat
terson said:
Men and women at the South chung
to the Democratic party as the early
Christians chung to the cross of Christ.
Shall we now set aside and hold for
naught these sacred principles of God
and historic party? Shall we betray
that party? Shall we impute to that
party faithlessness? Shall we ruin
that party to satisfy the ambition OF a
man who has been in favor of local
self-government himself, and who did
not change until he saw that 1t was
the only question in Tennessee that
he could possibly rely upon for sue
cess?"
How different this sentiment from
that expressed by the Governor two
years ago. Then he went from one
end of Tennessee to the other imputing
faithlessness to that party. He
charged upon every stump in the State
that the Democratic party had been
untrue to it's trust, that its officials
had wasted the peoples money in
riotuous living; that ''the slime of the
serpent was over every department of
the States government; that from
the time of the constitution of 1870
to the present hour the affairs Of gov
eminent had been administered by a
reckless, selfish and constituencies
machine bent upon depriving the peo-
pie of the right to govern themselves.
Then he was "out" and wanted to "get
in" Now he is in and is seeking to
raise false issues and hold his seat.
Senator Carmack has not made any
attack upon the Democratic party.
He has charged and proven by the
public record that Gov. Patterson has
not kept the faith; that he has vio-
lated the principles and platform Of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Carmack
Is the defender of the Democratic par
ty. He realizes that II that party is
to continue to enjoy the esteem and
confidence of the majority Of the
white people of Tennessee 1t cannot
condone the faithlessness of its SER
wants nor approve the course of one
who has defied its most sacred tenets.
To do so would jeopardise party sue
cess.
Senator Carmack has entered an
emphatic protest to the new doctrine
which the Governor injects as a test
Of Democracy, |. e., the perpetuity Of
the saloon in Tennessee. II temper
ance reform is not Democracy then
God help the Democratic party II
that historic organization is to frown

terests. than in going with a well
equipped opponent ever ready to con-
tradict false statements and to chal-
lenge every perversion of the public
records.
The Governor even in joint debate,
is often very reckless in his state
ments, but left to roam the state
alone, in the desperation of his wan
ing cause, there is no telling TO what
lengths he would go in an effort TO
prejudice the public mind and distort
the facts. The Governor is an artful
dodger even in joint discussion, but
without any one to call attention 70
his official inconsistencies and evas-
ions he might make some of the weak
est points in his official record appear
reasonably plausible. Mr.. Armistead
is therefore to be congratulated upon
the success of his effort to continue
the debates.

OF course they know that there Is
not one word of truth in the state
ment that Mr.. Carmack ever said that
a dollar a day was enough for any
laboring man. Nevertheless having
started the falsehood many of them
feel that a sense Of loyalty to 1t re-
onires them to continue its circulation.
Mr.. Carmack has never espoused a
measure or cast a vote during his en-
tire public career that would give rise
To the slightest suspicion that his

Mr.. Carmack was reared in honor

he earned his daily bread in the sweat

have always been with those who have
been similarly situated. On the con-

common but very expressive term,
born with a gold spoon in his mouth. :
He has never known what it was to
struggle in poverty and to earn his
laily bread in the sweat of his brow
Then why should he be held up as the
great champion of the laborlng peo-
pie? What has he ever done in their
interest? Did he not approve a law
providing for the leasing of convicts
to the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railroad to build an extension
of that road in the mountains of East
Tennessee? Did he show his sympa-

people when he vetoed a bill which
would have given them their expenses

wishes and at the command of the
state?

AN AUTO AND
AN AUTOCRAT
By JASPER D. coWDIN
Copyright, by shortstory Pub. Cos

1t was on the big white steamer,
Pontiac, which was slowly making it's
way on Lake Erie from the Straits
to Ogdensburgh, that Malcolm Elliot
made the acquaintance of Varina
Brentwood. Both were summer tour
lists, the latter travelling with her par
ents, and long before the steamer
reached Thorold Malcolm had lost
his heart to the pretty, blue-eyed maid.
At Thorold a string of automobiles
stood in waiting, the chauffeurs offer
ing for trifie to convey the passen-
gers to Niagara Fails and return
There was ample time for the trip, as
the Pontiac had reached the brow of a
long hill which would require hours
for its descent through the stairway of
locks to the valley below.
Many of the tourists hailed with de-
light this opportunity of getting away
for time from their cramped quar-
tiers, and, amid laughter and fiutter
of white, they were whisked away.
Malcolm and Miss Brentwood oc-
cupied seat in the last surrey of the
gay procession, while in front sat Miss
Applewhite, a friend of Varina, with
her fiance, Sidney Lane.
The bracing ozone of September and
the shifting foliage, already taking on
its glory of red and gold, impaired
zest and enthusiasm to the party. Aft
er taking in the customary sights
about the Horseshoe falls and along
the Canadian Gorge, they turned back
In satisfied state of mind.
Malcolm had tipped off the chauf
feur to take it easy" and the auto
Miss Brentwoods beauty, it was sim
ply radiant, set off by poppy-red |
gown of transparent flimsiness, and |
she and Malcolm occupied the rear
seat, quite safe from observation they
took little note of the constantly
changing panorama of wood and field, |
gazing rather at the scenery i'm each I
others eyes. A thrill of something
very akin to love electrified the stall
wart young mans frame in the tender
intervals when Varina's, tiny hand |
pressed his arm, directing attention |
to some particularly interesting OBJ
ject.
Miss Applewhite and her fiance on
the front seat were also suffi GENTLY in
terested in each other, but occasion
ally they threw back glance or a
laughing comment.
Suddenly, from a wayside thicket,
sprang out a man who, taking a stand
in the middle of the road, waved his
arms frantfcally.
The auto, of course, came to an
abrupt stop.
"In the name of Joshua, son of Gid
dash, throw up your hands!" com
the stranger, pointing a six
shooter with one hand, while the 9TH
er clasped what appeared to be a
Bible.
There was nothing for it but to
comply.
Those fine spirits who can detect a
subtle affinity existing between Zion
ism and collar buttons would have
put the stranger down at once as a
man of the cloth His broad brimmed
soft hat, severe black bow and loose
fitting black suit were certainly minis
terial, but the diamond ring on the in
