Unless all signs fail, there are stormy times
ahead, in the State of Tennessee. The Patter4
son-Cox-Cooper ring is desperate. To block
the wheels Of government and to keep the peo-
pie from getting fair whack at the machine,
thirteen Senators have violated their oaths of
office and fled into concealment. 1t is reported
that they have left the State.
The majority vote in the Legislature repre-
sents the people of Tennessee. The Governor
represents the Ring.
The Legislature passed certain primary-elec-
ton laws, designed to put the politics of the
State in the control Of the people. Fearing
that the new law would overthrow the Ring,
Governor Patterson vetoed it, There are
sufficient number of anti-Ring members of the
Legislature to pass the Primary Bill over the
veto. But the Ring, defiant of public opinion
and in contempt of law, is determined to stay
in power. To prevent the Legislature from
again acting on the election laws, thirteen of
the Rngsters have abandoned their posts of
duty, leaving the Senate without quorum
In effect, these thirteen Rngsters lawlesslv
dissolve the highest law-making body of the
State, to prevent the people from getting the
law which they need and demand.
Suppose that thirteen Socialists had been
guilty of such crime against orderly govern
ment
Suppose thirteen Populists had plunged the
Legislature into chaos of that sort!
Oh, wouldn't the city dailies have raved and
ragged and volleyed and Numbered?
