PIedging Their Nominees

The Independent Democrats in every
section of the State are safeguarding
their interests by obligating their leg
islative nominees on the matter of
prospective legislation. They are Civ
ing their nominees specific instruc-
tions on those features which are
deemed of vital importance-and it is
we'll that such plan is being adhered
to, for 1t is universally conceded that
the authority that dominates is also
the legitimate authority to instruct
and obligate, and when the nomina-
tion comes from the people. the only
rightful source of governmental pow
er, the instructions going with the
nomination are imperative and sacred,
which no honest man will violate.
In the senatorial and fioterial indie
pendent Democratic conventions at
Huntsville Saturday, in addition to
adopting the independent Democratic
State platform, the following supple
mental provision was made:
"The nominee of this convention is
hereby instructed to vote for no man
in his legislative capacity, from Unit
ed States Senator down, who is not in
thorough accord with these resolutions
and thoroughly aligned with the indie
pendent Democratic movement in Ten
nessee."
While some of the nominating con-
ventions and primaries have not given
the foregoing specific instructions,
still it expresses the sentiment of the
rank and file of the independent Demo-
Gratis, and they expect their nominees,
who may be elected. to faithfully OBJ
serve the spirit of this injunction.
The legislative aspirants who are de-
pendent upon the insurgent forces in
this conflict for their election cannot
escape, and they will not attempt to
escape, the implied obligation to ad-
here to the policy of prescription in
retaliation to the policy of proscrip-
tion pursued by their adversaries.
1t must be kept ever and eternally
in mind that the proper individual in
Office is essential to the proper admin
istration of his Office. 1t needs no ar
gument to convince the people that
good men should be chosen. 1t needs
no argument to convince the people
that bad men will trample on the laws
and invite lawlessness and dishonor,
for there are conspicuous object lessons
in Tennessee which demonstrate these
things, and that the people now de-
mand that the public affairs be admin
istered by those men who have shown
the faith that is in them by bravely
and courageously espousing the great
cause of law enforcement and good
government Nashville Tennesseean.

Monday afternoon about a O'Clock j..
G. Dyre died at his home near the de-
pot in Pikeville. Mr.. Dyre had been
afflicted with kidney trouble for some
time. He had an operation performed
at Chattanooga and came home about
two weeks later. The weather being
very warm, he has had hard time,
still the end was not expected so soon,
but death comes when we least expect
it. Mr.. Dyre was one of our best
known business men, having been an

He leaves a wife and several children,

grown. The sympathy of the whole
town and country is with the bereaved
ones. The Banner joins in coincidence.
