GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE SETS
NEW MARK IN EXTENDING
cLEMENcY.
LIBERATED 80 At ONE TIME.
Act of Freeing Col. Cooper Draws At
tention of Opponents Of Governor
Patterson to Unusual Record
of Chief Executive.

Nashville, Tennessee. - The OPP.
ponents of Gov. Malcolm r. Patterson
who are severely criticising his action
in ~pardoning Col. D. b. Cooper, con
victad of the murder of former Sen
ator E. w. CaTmack, have turned
their attention to the records in the
office of the secretary of state. These
show that in his three years and two
months in office, Patterson has issued
pardons to $50 men convicted of fel-
onies and misdemeanors.
He has pardoned 1852 persons con
victed Of murder, 1913 illicit liquor
sellers, IT'S men convicted Of carry
ing concealed weapons, ia convicted
of larceny and 402 sentenced for other
misdemeanors.
In this state illicit liquor selling and
the carrying of concealed weapons are
only misdemeanors. Sometimes the
accused is fined and given a work
house sentence; at others only a fine
is imposed.
WHOLESALE Appears WauC'
There are 1000 convicts confined in
prison in the state and there is hardly
one who has not appealed for elem
enc The governors friends have
pointed out that many of the pardons
granted were issued by him after Pc
titions had been signed by citizens of
the community in which the crimes
were committed. In other instances
the Judge and Encouragement who
tried the cases signed the petitions,
and in still others a majority Of the
jurymen urged clemency.
Some of the pardons were for men
in the mines and main prison, who,
because of disease, or injury, We're
~incapacitated for work, and had be-
come a burden upon the state.
The governor also liberated proba.
bly, 100 minors rather than have them,
as he said, confined with hardened
criminals. There has never been any
concealment of the reasons for his
acts of clemency.
Ham" Patterson's heart has
been a familiar exclamation in Ten
nessee ever since he assumed direc-
ton of the states affairs. From the
first he used his pardoning power free
" and liberated notorious crooks, Be
fore he began to WELD his power, Gov.
Taylor held the record for pardons,
but Gov. Patterson quickly made a
new mark.
The new governor turned loose SO
~convicts in 9 bunch. This was after he
began to visit tile mines and observe
the prisoners. The day he liberated
them he said he had not considered
how the action would be received. He
declared he had exercised the power
placed in his hands by the people in
the interest of humanity and in the
interest of youths who might be re-
claimed. Furthermore, he announced.
Tat he would continue to exercise
this clemency whenever he was sat
Isfied the cases were worthy.
Before the convicts were freed they
we're taken before the governor and
each promised that he should never
forget mis- kindness.

This store is known as the Regent of

Next Tuesday. September 8, at the
same polling places i'll the city of Shreve
port at which viii be held the election
for The nomination of a Judge of the
Supreme Court and for a congressman,
there will be held an election for the
nomination Of candidates for the pro
posed government by commission.
The candidates for the commission
form are

At the same time there will be elected
six eonmitteenen-at large from twelve
candidates, and one committeeman III
Ward Six where there are two candi-
dates The committeeman from other
wards had no opposition.
In the city interest will be eentered in

commission form The candidates re-
ceiving the majority Of votes cast will
become the nominees. 1t is assumed
that where three candidates are contest
ing there will follow j second primary
fixed TO be held on Tuesday, October a.
The election on September IS is to
fest the will Of the majority as to Wheth-

prevail. There is strong silent oppo-
sitign to The commission form which
comes from the class more OF less iden-

was being circulated, that certain candi-
dates' would be fought and defeated be-
cause they had been pros. In this CON
test there is no issue Of pros OF ants,
but If such fight is desired LET those
inclined crack their whip and sail in.
The good citizens Of Shreveport who
favor better conditions, as suggested
through the commission form, regard
less of past differences, will meet any
issue which may be urged or presented
by any set or class of men who are striy-
ing to incite strife and contention over
a question which has been settled and
which it is not now desired shall disturb

good citizens only insist on the enforce
