TIE MACHINES PLANS.

The plans of the State Democratic
machine have at least been revealed
In brief they are:
First, the nomination of Gov Pat
terson for a third term upon plat
form endorsing his administration, de-
nouncing the primary and election re-
forms of the last Legislature and con-
demning the violation of the caucus
rrecedent in the organization of the
General Assembly.
Second the nomination of Ex-Gov
Benton McMillin for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Frazier.
Third, the election of a Legislature
that will be subject to the imperial
win Of the machines titular head.

A kIckER,s DAY.

Mayor Calvin, of Cincinnati, has nit
upon a most happy idea in the admin
istration of the complex affairs of that
great city. He has appointed "gen-
eral kickers day" upon which every
man, woman and child who has a
grievance, complaint or kick of any
sort, character or description will be
heard The suggestion should be fol-
lowed in other cities and towns for
with the administrators OF practically
every municipality in the country,
every day is kickers day. To coneen'
trate all the kicks on one day might
be rough on the officials nerve for the
Office hours of that particular period
but It would give him rest from
complaints and knocking for the
remainder of the month or year, de-
pending upon the frequency of kick
ers day"
But there are difficulties in the way
of an observance of the new day. Sup
rose that all OF the kickers In the city
should appear at the same hour.

INCONSISTENCIES IN POLITICS.

INCONSISTENCIES IN POLITICS.
There are many inconsistencies in
politics. In fact, politics is noted
FOR its inconsistencies. The other
day the truly loyal and altogether
regular Democratic Committee OF
Knox county met to save the party
The Statewide Democratic conference
at Nashville was roupdly scored ana
the pure and undefiled Democracy
warned that unless the State-widers
we're utterly routed the Democratic
nartv would go to sure and certain
ruin. 1t happens that the Chairman
of the Knox county committee VINO
called the meeting and had the reso-
lntions nassed has record as bolter
from the party. But few years ago
he was an active leader In a move
ment to defeat the nominees of his
party. ~.
But this Ii not the only case re-
Gently under observation. Down In
west Tennessee, Judge Ernest L. Bull
lock, VINO is being denounced as foe
to Democracy by all the administra-
ton papers and hirelings because OF
his advocacy of decent government,
has been duly, regularly and fairly
nominated for Chancellor. One would
imagine that a Democratic label
would cure every defect in a Demo
Gratis party record and answer every
criticism of his political course with
those of the Patterson brand who are
continuously declaring their devotion
to Democracy But such is not the
case. Judge Bullock is being opposed
by an Independent candidate who has
always been an ardent follower OF
Patterson and the State machine.
There happen to be many RepuDli-
cans in Judge Bullock's district and
It is hoped that by combination OF
these and disaffected Democrats the
will of the party may be defeated.
Who would have dreamed that Dem
ocrat who worships at the throne OF
Patterson, who gets his Democracy
straight from Ban Murray and who
regards the Nashville American as his
political bible, would ever get his own
consent to oppose Democratic nom

HoBSoNs CHOICE.

Pressure has been brought to bear
in Alabama to induce the members OF
congress from that state to take sides
on the adoption of an amendment to
the constitution prohibiting he sale
of intoxicants. The first Congressman
to come out boldly for prohibition is
Richard Pearson Hobson, the hero OF
the Merrimac, who announces that he
will make at least eight speeches for
the adoption of the amendment. Mr..
Hobson has had peculiarly brilliant
career. He achieved more fame dur
ing the Spanish-Am erican war than
any other man of equal rank; he ad-
ded to the iustre of his name by kiss
ing all the peach-bud mouths that
were puckered in his direction direct
" after the war; he advocated a 81
gantic navy until he became known
as a man obsessed OF one idea; he de-
feated Bankhead for Congress and
thus paved the way for the latter to
run for senator. and secure election.
All of this stamped him as a man OF
parts. And there is no doubt that
Hobson is far bigger man than his
kissing experiences led the country 30
believe. He has an iron will, large
intellect, splendid voice and address
land he dares TO do right. Good for
him, witch him become U. s Senator
from Alabama!

THE COMMITTEE MEETING.

On next Monday the Democratic
Executive Committee of this county
will meet for the purpose OF providing
a plan and fixing a time for the NOM
nation Of candidates for county ON
ees, The Herald has no candidate
for aay ofiee; 1t is not concerned as
to the ambition Of any aspirant; it
does not expect to advocate the selec'
ton Of any Democrat, but 1t ID vitality
concerned In the cause of good govern
ment, And it realizes that to have
good government there must be fair
and honest expression of the peoples
wiii in the selection of the agents to
administer government. Fraud at the
ballot box strikes at the very vitals
Of free government. The people will
not readily acquiese in the acts OF
their public administrators If their
elections are tinctured with fraud.
The Herald is q Democratic journal.
AS such II will insist that when the
BemeefAtic Committee acts for the
marty, that it act In the interest OF the
marty. that the interests of all indl-
viduals be subordinated to the common
interests Of the great Democratic par
ty, When the committee convenes
here next Monday it should order a
urinary for the nomination of candi-
dates for county office. That primary
should be hedged about and safe
guarded by all of the restrictions that
are by law thrown around regular
elections. In that primary every Dem
ocrat should have an equal chance
with every other Democrat If an
early primary would best serve the
cause of Democracy in the county
the committee shodld not hesitate to
order an early primary. On the 9TH
er hand should it appear best for the
party's interest that the selection OF
it's candidates should not be made I'M
til early next year late primary
must be ordered regardless of its ef
feet upon the. fortunes of any candi
date. The Democratic party is bigger
than any individual; good government
is more to he desired than the gratih
cation of the ambition of any man nc
matter how deserving he may be.
The present Democratic County
Committee, with only few changes
in its personnel, has administered the
affairs of the Democratic party In this
county for the past six years. Ant
we make bold to assert that during
that time there has been less com
plaint about unfair primaries, snaI
conventions and fraud in electioni
than during any similar period in the
history of the county. The commit
tee has made an enviable record
Let nothing be done at Mondays meet
ing to mar that record. Let all be
done for the glory and success OF tbs
Democratic party and nothing for tht
qualification of personal ambition
Give every Democrat an equal chance
II this is done then the threat of the
Independents will have no terrors fol

ready assured.

This brief outline embraces the inn
portant features of the plans which
machine leaders have decided upon at
secret conferences during the past
three months. AS a part of this plan
it is proposed to have all friendly
county committees meet and declare
Tor the third nomination Of Gov Pat
teFsoh, This Is necessary In order
that there may be soms plausible ex-
cuse for violation of the time-hon-
ored Democratic custom of limiting
the GubeFhatorial tenure to two terms
Patterson would nave 1t appear that
he is making the race in violation OF
this wise custom in response to an
overwhelming public sentiment.
No attack will be made upon the
Statewide prohibition law; that is
no direct and open opposition to that
statute will be declared; on the con-
trarv. Gov. Patterson will insist that
the statute having been passed in a
constitutional manner prohibition is
now an established policy of the State
and should be given fair trial. But
the same argument could be made for
the election and primary reforms OF
the last Legislature. however. ap-
narent and glarfng INCONSISTENCIES
have never deferred the governor in
the mast and are not likely to do so
in the future.
Patterson realizes, in spite of MS
repeated declarations to the contrary
that the Statewide prohibition law
was passed in response to an over
whelming public demand; he under
stands fully that this statute is sup
ported by a large majority of the pee
nile of Tennessee, and he knows that
a direct attack upon the prohibition
policy of the last General Assembly
would be fatal to the aspirations Of
the machine. The Governor will prom
L se enforcement of these statutes
The result will depend somewhat up
on how many voters can be fooled by
an empty promise that the Governor
has no intention whatever of fulfill
ing. On the contrary ne will continue
to do all within his power to make
the prohibition and other statutes FOL
the prevention of crime ineffective
and odious.
Patterson would rather go to the
Senate than serve another term as
Governor. The Senate is the goal OF
his ambition. But the machine, tc
i which he owes his second election as
Governor, has decreed otherwise. Nc
Millin must be rewarded for his sub
l serviency to the liquor interests, and
4 then it is conceded that Patterson is
the strongest candidate tina the ma
chine could support. The machine
cares nothing for Patterson's political
and personal ambition; 1t supports
him because it believes that he can
be more easily elected than another
and in his reelection it sees a con
tinuance of the nefarious pardon
brokerage, a further fostering OF OF
/ fee traffic and a continued pros
titution of the state government fol
selfish ends.
