BOB TAYLOR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR
"' r'atform Was Adopted as oriain-
any Drawn, Which Contains
temperance Plank.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-United States Sen.
"eor Robert l." Taylor was Thursday
dominated for governor by the reg
ai democratic convention, although
MS senatorial term does not expire un-
80 i9I1. NO other name was presented
~ Tue convention, the demand being
lor layior and no one else. Senator
'eF at p. m, appeared in the con-
'ehtlon hall and after an ovation ac-
cepted the nomination.
III the main the convention, which
was largely attended, was harmonious
throughout, though there was a 1fttla
Ebreeze when Senator Toilet endeayor.
ed 10 nave the platform amended as to
the liquor question. The Toilet
amendment provided for reference
OF the liquor question to a vote OF the
people, but the amendment was finally
voted down.
| Platform as Adopted.
lne platform was adopted as origi-
nally drawn and the temperance plank
reading as follows:
The democratic party has at all
tlmes been the consistent friend of
temperance reform in Tennessee and
other Southern States. All progressive
legislation On the subject has been en-
acted by the democratic party. But it
IS an economic and moral question. 1t
can, not rightfully and should not as
matter OF fact be made the football of
political exDediency, nor allowed to
become party question There is no
place in theory, as there is none in
practice, for division along party lines
on this question. Men in all parties
differ widely as to the means to be
adopted and the course to be pursued
N advancing this cause. It is a ques-
ton which must and should be settled
by the members of the legislature and
by the voters of Tennessee in their Sc
lection and election.
we therefore declare that the tenn
perance question should not be an is
sue in gubernatorial campaign
The great controlling issue in this
campaign is whether Tennessee shall
be turned over to a boss-ruled repub-
lican machine in a bargain by which
the public offices of this state are
sought to be treated as merchandise
for barter and sale between politicians
and party bosses. The reputation of
this humiliating attempt to barter
away the honor of the state is the first
duty of every patriotic Tennessean
I'VE favor and demand the enforce
meut of all laws th~4-tsfe OF fnsss"rasE..-s
after be placeu Upon the statute books
Of Tennessee on all questions"

Follow this advice.

Quaker Scotch Oats is the best of all
foods; it is also the cheapest. When
such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale Univer-
sity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. DE-. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers of
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
