MlURY SENDS DELEGATES
TO NASHVILLE aRFERtNCE
ICON inued from Firs' Pass

yigOr and enforced UPON t"~
hooks. Therefore. certain democrats
fayorins these principles have decd
"a 70 meet and take such steTs as
will secure within the party itself
those laws in our party platform.
We don't desire 10 see the demo
cratic party turned over to the WINS
kew forces Of this State and DO not
wish TO see II Africanized by bring
ing the negro voter into the party
and substituting him for noble White
men who might be driven out OF the
marty. We cannot believe otherwise
in view of the history OF our elections
during the last few years that there Is
ANYTHING else but the purpose but 10
suppis what may be lost 10 The dem
ocratic party By diverse legislation.
All prohibition legislation on our
Statute books has been put there ey
the democratic party; 7 has eesn
working upon this question ~ pSo,
gressive steps for the past fifteen q
twenty years and everything that has
been done in that time has been
done by our party and let us not
degrade that party to the extent that
the whiskey forces of the State OF
Tennessee be allowed to lay their
hands upon the party and control 1t
for their own ends. Let US so con-
troll it that the white democrats OF
the State shall be able to hold with
in their hands the issue upon this
question.
What objection can any democrat
have to a meeting of democrats who
are pledged to maintaining laws!
What objection can anybody have to
a meeting of democrats which Is
pledged to the maintenance OF laws
and to the purity of the ballot box?
Those are the principles we are al
yocating today, and those are the
principles for which we are electlne
delegates to support at the conference
in Nashville and for those principles
are we meeting today and for those
principles alone.
