RINGING RESOLUTIONS
ADOPTED BY DEMOCRATS
AT NASHVILLE MEETING
To STAND BY PROHIBITION AND
ELECTION LAWS.
PROVIDE PLAN FOR THE A COMMITTEE
CONDUCT cAMPAIcN-WARNs AGAINST FALSE
LIQUOR CROWD.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 22.-The
statewide democratic conference has
met, performed its labors and the q
900 delegates have gone back to their
homes with the consolation that they
have builded we'll structure that will
save to Tennessee its good name,
handed down through generations of
honest public administration.
Larger than the most optimistic
dreamed, more earnest than the CO.
horts of liquor even feared and wiser
than any other conference of citizens
gathered in the state, this body of
Tennessee's yeomanry has lifted the
liquor problem out of the realm OF
doubt and placed it on the solid foun-
dation of organized public sentiment,
to the glory of the state and the utter
chagrin of the machine administra-
ton.
Until Tuesday at noon it was not
known by any man how many repre-
sentative men of the state would re-
spond to the call of duty and show up
in Nashville. The leaders estimated
it yariously from 500 to 1000, but
when the vast conference hall-the
Ryman Auditorium-opened its doors
at IL O'Clock there poured in stream
of determined men, good and true, all
of whom did not get inside until the
gavel fell calling them to order. When
Chancellor E. L. Bullock rose to per-
form this Office he was interrupted by
a roar of applause that shook the
building to its foundations. 1t amount
ed to an ovation and lasted several
minutes before he could get the ear
of the audience to proceed with the
opening of the conference.
Harmony.
From then on there was no hitch.
The organization was quickly formed
and manned by trusted and able c1ti-
zens. known widely for their political
foresight and versed in the arts OF
campaigning. With the great cardinal
principle of good government as an in
spiration, men went into the confer
ence as devoutly as congregations
gather to worship. All were bent to-
ward a common end, and there were
no fights among themselves.
summary of the days work may
he got in a few words. The state OF
Tennessee sent faithful democratic
representatives of the best element OF
people to Nashville to organize against
the power of corruption in politics, the
LIQUOR evil and gang ethics. The Or
ganization was formed, replete with
all the necessary auxiliaries in the
way Of b-organizations--as the state
conference committee, the finance
committeeman to mention the perma-
nent officers and standing committees
of the conference as whole.

HARDIN THOMAS
IS A CANDIDATE
POPULAR COUNTY COURT CLERK
ASKS FOR ANOTHER TERM.
A GOOD RECORD.

Hardin w. Thomas announces to-
day in The Herald for reelection to
the office of county court clerk of Maui
ry county Mr. Thomas is serving his
first term in the office and has made
a splendid official. Having been con-
nected with the office for several
years as deputy under Luther Thorn
as before being elected to the place
he was thoroughly acquainted with
workings OF the Office in its every de-
tail. 1t is a safe prediction to say
that If the voters of Maury county
see fit to give him the office for sec
ond term he will conduct the bust
ness in the same manner in which he
has conducted it for the past four
years. Mr.. Thomas is resident Of
Glendale, having been born and rear
ed there, and is a son of the late Ben
jamin Thomas. His announcement
is made subject to the action of the
Democratic party. He expresses him
self as being willing to abide by any
action the party may see fit to take
in regard to calling the primary cleo
ton for the selection of the nominees
of the party.

GOOD EXHIBIT
At THE FAIR
ROBINSoN-M'GILL BUGGY CON-
PANY SHOWED FINE LINE
VEHICLES.

The Robinson-McGill Buggy Co. is
deserving of especial mention. for
their enterprising spirit shown in get
ting ND their exhibit for the Fair, on
such an extensive scale. This firms
requirements ST space were such that
to show what they had planned, ne
cessitated them procuring large tent
4Ox6O feet, as the Fair Association
could not supply them with that
amount of space under roof. Ranged
neatly around the tent, were the va
ried products of their own factory at
Nashville, consisting of buggies. sur
reys, phateons. runabouts and other
types of fine turnouts, looking just
like they did when they came from
the factory's varnish-room, so snlny
and bright they were.
Mr.. T. M. Robinson, President and
General Manager of the firms carriage
factory at Nashville, was present at
the tent exhibit all week, and took
Measure in explaining to the many In
curing visitors the individual merits
found only in the products of their
factory.
Near the center of the tent were TO
be seen, the exhibits from their mar
ness factory, located at Shelbyville.
This exhibit was made up OF variety
of styles of harness to suit the little
pony used by the children. the car
rage and buggy horse, the coacn
horse and even the draught horse ano
mule. So extensive is the line OF mar
ness manufactured by them, that one
desiring any special design OF mar
ness to suit even the show ring horse
could get suited from this firms STOCK

PLAY FOR THE
SOUTHERN RAG
ATLANTA AND CHATTANOOGA TO
BATTLE FOR THE DIXIE
PENANT.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 21.-
Atlanta and Chattanooga will meet
today in the first of FIVE games which
will constitute the first inter-league
contest for the championship of Dixie.
Games will be played at Atlanta Tues
day and Wednesday and at Chattanoo-
ga Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
the team that wins three games to be
the champions of the south.
These games will be played under
the auspices of the National Commits
sion, and will be championship games,
just the same as the series between
the American and National leagues.
The president of the National Commits
sion has appointed President Jones,
of the South Atlantic; President Kav-
anau, of the Southern, and Presi-
dents Heisman and Andrews, of the
Atlanta and Chattanooga teams, re-
spectively, to oversee the games. The
played will all be under rules and
may be suspended or fined as in any
other games under the supervision
and auspices of the National Commits
sion.
One year ago the owners OF the
Chattanooga club started out to give
Chattanooga league baseball. They
have not only done that, but have won
the South Atlantic penant, and are
now reaching out for the champion
ship of all Dixie, which will be next
to the championship of the world.
The average attendance at the Chat
tanooga games has been 1,400, a fig
ure excelled by very few towns in the
Southern league.
The Southern league papers have
said very little about this champion
ship series, but solely because they
were not certain that Chattanooga
would win the Sally rag. Atlanta
would not play Augusta, in view OF
the unsportmanslike events down
there, but now that Chattanooga has
won the Atlanta people will be given
some of the best baseball they ever
saw.
Manager Johnnie Dobbs took his
team to Atlanta Sunday night. He
himself came on home, but the other
players are there resting up and pre-
pairing to win from Atlanta.

Resolutions Adopted.

The greatest work of the day, view
ed from the standpoint of political
importance. was the resolution adopt
ed by the conference on the recon-
mendation of the committee on reso-
lutions. Sounding the keynote-the
slogan of the coming campaign as
vital necessity that the liquor laws
and election laws be upheld and re-
tained-the resolution appears as a
declaration of independence, and with
the aprended names of the state con-
ference committee, is as follows:
1--WE, as democrats, recognizing that
the democratic party as the dominant
party in the state, should control its
government affairs, believe that it is
essential to the interests of the party
and the people of the state, that the
temperance, election, and primary
election laws enacted by the Fifty
sixth General Assembly of the state
should be maintained and enforced.
THE movement which is sweeping
the country, especially the democratic
states of the south to abolish the IL
quor traffic, is not a spasmodic out
break of fanatical sentiment but the
permanent growth of a sound govern
mental policy Defying regulation by
law and essaying control of political
affairs, state and municipal, and for
this purpose allaying itself with all
the elements of vice and crime, the
liquor traffic has induced the growth
| of a healthy and permanent public
sentiment which holds, as sound
governmental policy, that the only
adequate remedy is the abolition OF
the liquor traffic by legislation.
THE war on the liquor traffic in the
south is a declaration that govern
ment in the south is and must remain
the white mans government.
The democratic party in Tennessee
has always been white mans party,
in every contest battling against the
evils of negro suffrage. and the dem
ocrats of Tennessee will not now toll
crate any effort that may be made to
transfer the negro vote from the re-
publican to the democratic party Tor
/ the purpose Of using it to restore the
liquor traffic to the control of public
affairs in this state.
I'm keeping with the sentiment that
sound governmental policy demands
the abolition of the liquor traffic as
an unmitigated political and moral
evil, by continued and progressive
steps, legislation has been enacted In
this state providing for the elimina-
/ ton of the traffic from the state. In
the interest of the democratic party,
and for the good of the whole people,

Thwarted in the premises by a
grand jury that will not indict offend
ers against the liquor laws, even when
tn eproof of guilt is absolutely con-
elusive, Gen. McCarn has cast about
him for means to proceed in spite OF

So when the criminal court con-
