dent, the Judge took steps during
the present year to obtain the ap-
pointment from President Taft of
District Attorney for the Federal
Court of West Tennessee. Find
ing that there was no chance for
this place, the Judge shortly there
after turned his attention to get
ting the Democratic nomination
for Chancellor. AS the judicial
Committee did not suit his per-
sonal convenience, he then assum-
ed the role of an injured independ-
ent candidate.
without hope of office in either
party, the Judge will find himself
in hard lines as an independent.
A repudiator Of the action Of the
constituted authority of the Dem
ocratic party, the Democrats won't
have him. Posing as a Simon
pure Democrat the Republicans
don't want him.
'sI have no personal criticism to
make of Judge Sweeney. The
facts / have given are public prop
erty, and constitute a record of his
own making. Neither would this
interview have been given but for
the fact that Judge Sweeney has
seen fit to first publish an inter-
view.
1.-The Judge also registers q kick
about making a nomination ten
mouths ahead Of the regular cleo
ton. Counties all over the State
have made nominations for county
officers, and many others will do SO
during the fall. The Judges own
county holds a Democratic prima-
ry on the 10th of October to nom-
mate Democratic candidates for
county officers and for Judge and
Attorney General Of the circuit in
which hiscounty lies. Its all right
with the Judge for these candi-
dates to be nominated ten months
ahead of the regular election, but
all wrong to nominate Chancel-
lor ahead, because it doesn't suit
his convenience"

BULLOCK ON SWEENEY.


Oy the sun whether he had any,
thing to say as to Judge Sweeney's
declaration in the Commercial Ap-
peal of the 18th that he would run
as an independent candidate for
Chancellor.
Chancellor Bullock replied that
ne was averse to going into the
newspapers on the subject, but
that the Democrats of the Chan
Gerry Division ought to be given
the facts.
He said: F"It is the party law.
and has been for years, for the
committees Of the party to require
those desiring to become candi-
dates for nomination in a Demo-
cratic primary to enter the race by
@ time specified, and in case but
one party becomes q candidate
within the time, to declare him
the nominee just as has been or
dered in our county primaries.
"lf my personal wishes had been
consulted, / would have preferred
that the primary should have been
set on the 2nd Of December, next,
the date Of our county primary, as
that would have given me the ben
eft of fula turn ont of Democratic
voters in Madison County.
"The Democratic judicial Com
mittee for the Eighth Chsncery
Division met and ordered pri-
mary to nominate q Democratic
candidate for Chancellor Of the
Eighth Division on the 10Th of
October, 1909. The committee
provided that if but one candidate
should enter the primary on or
before the 18th Of September, the
committee should on the 10Th of
September meet and declare him
the regular nominee.

by the committee. No one else did

declared by virtue of it's undoubted
authority that was the regular

"Judge Sweeney repudiates the
action Of the committee and de-
clares himself an independent can
didate for Chancellor, solely upon
the ground that the time fixed by
the committee did not give him
the opportunity to canvass the di-
vision as a candidate. For this
reason alone he assails the action
of the committee as undemocratic,
unjust and arbitrary
II submit to fair-minded and
intelligent public the evidence that
this is mere pretext, and that
Judge Sweeney has not been de-
MED an ample opportunity to enter
the race and canvass the division.
aOn the 14th day of May, 1909,
Judge Sweeney had published in a
Paris newspaper a petition OF the
members Of his county bar for him
to become candidate for Chan
cellor.
"On the 9th of June, 1909, he
became an avowed candidate for
the Office. On that day he for
warded the following letter.

II made the first declaration Of
my intention to become a candi-
date on the Ord of July. Judge
Sweeney by his published petit
tion had his name before the pub
lie as candidate fifty days before
I made this declaration. He was
an avowed candidate twenty-one
days before I declared as candi-
date.
"But this is not all. Following
the endorsement of the bar and his

to other parties-on the 18th day
Of August, sixty-five days before
the date fxed for the primary, the
Parisian, newspaper published
in Paris, editorially put Judge
Sweeney before the public as a
candidate for Chancellor, saying:
Judge Sweeney enters the contest
with fine prospects Of success, and
that his formal announcement
would appear in the next issue Of
that paper.
"Four days after the Democratic
Committee Of the Chancery Divis-
ion met and fixed October 18th as
the date for the primary. Jndge
Sweeney, knowing of its action,
formally announced in the POST
Intelligencer, Paris newspaper,
as candidate, subject to the ac-
tion of the Democratic party.
"These facts show that Judge
Sweeney had been prospective
candidate from the 18th of May,
and an actual candidate from the
9th of June.
"That the committee did not
conform to his pleasure and con-
venience in giving him more time,
is the only pretense for Judge
Sweeney's action. The facts of
his own making proves it.
"The Judge, in repudiating the
action of the committee and de-
claring his candidacy as an inde-
pendent is profusely Democratic.
But the Judges Democracy is
measured by his individual opin-
ion Of what it takes to constitute q
Democrat.
Organs nomination by the Ma
tional Democratic party in 1896
did not conform to the Judges
opinion, and he bolted the nomi-
nation.
@The Judge wanted to be Chan
cellor in 1900 by getting Chancel-
lor Hawkins place through Dem
ocratic nomination in q primary.
The Judicial Committee of the
division barred any person from
being a candidate in the primary
who did not vote the Presidential
ticket in 1896. This precluded
Judge Sweeney from entering the
primary.
However, the Democratic door
to Office being barred against him,
the Judge found the Republican
door open. Mr.. Taft, then Civil

HARVARD vs.. HARVARD.

Ex-president Eliot of Harvard hav'
ing tabooed racial intermarriages
now comes Prof. Ripley, also of Har.
ward, in an effort to prove their de-
STABILITY.
The professor points to the Balkan
States to show that the segregation of
different nationalities into groups is
sure to work mischief and he might
have added all the rest of Europe as
proof of the proposition and thrown
in the United States for good meas
ure.
Prof. Ripley, however. sharply
draws the line as to the intermarriage
of races of different colors. We opine
that the professor will find it difficult
to preserve his firing line intact, for
the intermarriage of whites and In
dams is not condemned by public
Prof. Ripley, however, sharply
opinion and the half-breed Indian is
recognized in the best society. The
senators from Oklahoma and Kansas
| and ex-governor Vardaman of Missis
| ippi are of Indian decent; Sam Hous
! ton married an Indian, and the de
scendents of Pochontas rank among
the aristocrats of Virginia.
The intermarriage of races differ
ing in color has passed beyond the
jurisdiction of the Harvard tribunal
The settlement of the question will
not be made by Harvard theories bu
by the varied conditions in which mer
are placed. In many cases the choice
is simply between legal marriage Of
concubinage. The Southern States by
| stringent laws, prohibit marriage be
| tween white and black and thus en-
courage and promote the system of il
licit sexual relations so prevalent ir
| that section.
Harvard may discuss but while the
discussion is going on, the question
is settling itself, without any regard
to scientific theories.

named their pet donkey after him. But
