Democratic Ticket

Last Saturday afternoon Hon.
Ely Bertram, Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the Eleventh
district, addressed a large crowd
of voters at the courthouse. 1t
was a smooth, gentlemanly pre-
sentation of his candidacy, and
his many hearers were exceed
ingly we'll pleased throughout the
speed h. He did not arraign the
Republican party, but took up
Mr.. Powers record for TIE past
ten years and sifted it to finish.
He stated that he had been
warmly received at all his ap-
pointments; that many of the
best Republicans in the district
were for him in the contest, and
unless all signs failed he would
be the next Congressman from
this district. with its great
Republican majority" said he
that statement would seem i'm
possible, but | tell you the people
are aroused as never before, and
they are determined that Caleb
Powers shall not represent the
Eleventh district In Congress.
If you elect me it would not be a
Democratic victory. 1t would be
an honest expression of the peo-
pie irrespective of politices."
He closed his speech with an ap-
peal to the voters to lend him all
the aid possible, assuring them
that he had the courage and the
willingness to visit and speak in
every county in the district
against such man as his oppo-
nent. 1t is known that Mr..
Powers spent a large sum of
money in the late primary, and
it is believed that he will have to
repeat the dose, and then he will
not get out as much strength as
he did in his fight against Mr..
Edwards. The voters of the
Eleventh district have two can
didates before them. They both
have records. Go down the line
and see which is the most credi-
table, which one would command
the greatest respect at Washing
ton. then cast your suffrage for
the cleanest one of the two in /
private and public life. The de-
cision will be easy. Will you
act for the good of the country
or will you let sentiment drive
you from duty? Do as the best
citizenship in Tennessee will do
on the 9Th day of November.
The candidate for Governor, Ham
Patterson, had become so cor
rupt, that the good people of all
parties forced him out of the race
and an honest man has been
nominated, in the person of SEN
ator Bob Taylor. Both parties
in Tennessee now have able and
clean men to vote for and the
election of either would not harm
that Commonwealth. In this dis
~ 7141r
trict the Republicans offer a man
whose record will not reflect
credit in Congress nor his election
will not vindicate. He is a dis
credited man and will be a dis
credited Congressman if elected.
