Praise Capt. Hooper.

The speeches were filled with kind
words for Capt. Hooper. w. o. Mills,
the first speaker, concluded by say
ing: with pride l contemplate the
future, and far of yonder in the dim
distance I see our children and our
childrens children repeating with en-
thralling interest the story of the
waif, picked up on the streets of
great city who made his home in our
midst; who was your neighbor and
mine, and who, by dint of industry
and proper use Of the powers which
God gave him, reached the guberna-
torial chair of Tennessee-th state
we all love-in whose bosom sleep
the ashes Of our ascestors and for
whose glory our hearts beat unceas-
ingly with most tender affection"
There were speeches by George w.
Gorrell chairman of the election COM
missioners, who, as a lifelong demo
crat, the son of Confederate soldier,
promised unqualified support and that
of the whole anti-machine force to Ben
Hooper in November. w. J. McSween,
another lifelong democrat, spoke feel
ingly of the condition which made it
possible for him to greet his friend.
DR.. J. Walter McMahan, the chair
man of the meeting, was forced to
abandon part of his program by the
frequent cheers for Hooper and when
the nominee had finished his speech
he had touched the hearts of every
man and woman who had heard him.
Old men with gray boards wiped tears
from their eyes as he pathetically re-
ferred to his origin and in the wild
rush that followed to shake his hand,
the speaker was made to feel that at

nee for governor, the best part of
Cooke county's citizenship gathered
here today to welcome him home. It
was reception which would make
any man feel proud.
"Braving a downpour of rain, many
of those present came from the noun
tains, while others drove ten and
twelve miles over the rolling country
There were men here who had heard
the news but an hour before they had
to start for town. 1t was a reception
the like of which was never before
seen here.
"The word Welcome, on a huge
banner, stood out over the platform.
American flags were much in evil
dence. The program was so made up
that men who had fought Capt. Hoop
er for years in local politics were
given opportunity at least to testify
to the worth Of the man who is sched-
uled to carry the banner of the fusion
movement to victory in November.

He Grew From a Wait On The Street
Into The GubernatoriaI Chair of
The Volunteer State.

Ben Hooper was born in the little
mountain village of Newport, Tenn.
Misfortune came to him in early life
and while yet toddling child he was
picked up as a waif upon the streets
of Knoxville, and sent to an orphan
age. But he was true to himself al
ways, and the immortal bard has said
that at follows as the night doth fol-
low the day." that the man who is
true to himself Cannot be false to
any man." And so, last week, when
the good people of Tennessee, ire
spective of party or political differ
ences, were looking for a clean man,
who had convictions and the courage
of his convictions, and the ability to
stand up and champion great cause,
to lead in tetanic struggle the forces
of Right against the allied forces of
Wrong; when all eyes were turned in
searching for the man of the hour,
they rested upon a young mountain
boy, local leader of minority party,
a Republican in a Democratic state,
but tall man, sun-crowned, who
stood above the crowd in private
deeds and public thinking" and when
Opportunity knocked at Ben Hooper's
door, he walked majestically out to
take his place upon the pages of his
country's history.
He will be elected Governor of Ten
nessee next November, by the most
complimentary vote ever cast in that
state for any man; because it will be
the vote of the very best citizenship
of that state regardless of party
political differences; his will be clean
ballots, cast by clean hands; there
will not be a purchased vote or
scarcely a purchasable one, in all the
hundred thousand or more that he
will receive.
Mr.. Hooper is Stalwart Republi-
can, and was nominated by the Re-
publican state convention, for Cover
nor of Tennessee. But the same con-
vention which nominated him, nomi-
mated Democrat for Railroad Com
and the ticket will be
voted for by the best element of both
parties. Returning from the nominal
ng convention to his mountain home,
Mr.. Hooper was given great ova-
ion; and the news special from New
,ort, in Cooke county, to Tennessee
,aper tells the story as follows:

Hooper's Speech.

Hooper's Speech.
Capt Hooper's speech was as fol-
lows:
There is one little spot of earth
somewhere, for every man, that Is
dearer than all others. It may be
back in the rugged mountains, down
in the smiling and peaceful valley or
out upon the broad expanding plains,
but it is always that place where his
thought turn when the band plays
Home, Sweet Home;' that place where
his childhood was spent and where he
came into the estate of manhood.
Though he may go to the uttermost
ends of the earth, the memory of that
spot will linger in his mind and the
sweetness of that memory will touch
and tender his heart. 1t is home and
pativeland of which the poets of every
age and cline have sung their sweet
est songs. Its skies are the bluest, it's
sunshine the brightest, its flowers the
most fragrant, its streams the most
limpid and its mountains the most
majestic, it's friendships are the
strongest, its love the sweetest and its
sorrows the most sacred and tender.
In this little village of ours I first
saw the light of day and here 1 have
spent the greater part of my life.
There will never be any friends like
these. We will never know and un-
derstand any other people like we do
each other here.
I'VE will never find upon the face
of the eartE men we can trust and
women we can love as we do these
here. AS look out upon this great
tnrong today see the boys and girls
with whom I played at the little
old brick school up yonder on the
hill. | see the men who cast their
votes for me when I, but mere boy,
ran my first race for the legislature,
| see men who have stood by me al
ways and sustained me in every I'M
dertaking. l see men who followed
with me the flag of our native land,
old glory, when we planted it upon
the islands of the sea. If there be
those here today with whom l have
had differences of opinion-may be
some of them sharp-in days that
have gone, they are generous enough
to bury those differences, and with
enthusiasm for our cause lock arms
with determination to wipe out
the disgrace of a political machine
that has overridden the laws, encour-
aged vice and crime, set a premium
on murder, attempted to intimi-
date our courts and rendered the fair
name of Tennessee a by-word for the
whole civilized world.
Il bring to the people of East Ten
nessee a message from Middle Ten
nessee that the days of Pattersonism
are numbered, and that new COVER
nor and an anti-Patterson legislature
will be elected in November beyond
any question of doubt. To the in
dependent democrats of East Tennes-
see I bring the message of their
brethren of the middle and western
grand divisions of the state, that they
