people, made q declaration for pre-
hibition.
In the gubernatorial primary AR
mack carried Knox county by small
vote over Patterson.
There may have been other th ,gs
that entered into Heiskell's victory.
Probably the opponent of Hei~kell
made tactical blunder in forcing the
issue to one of prohibition. Tliey,
however, overestimatcd the amount of
enthusiasm there was for it, and in
their effort to beat Heiskell crowded it
forward thus causing their own an-
doing.
The election of Heiskel, as a me- ter
of fact, cannot change the law.
1t is probable that, under his admin
istration, prohibition will be enforced,
or not enforced just as it was previous
iy.
According to their own prediction
statements, Heiskell's victory is a de
claration of the people of Knoxville

THE RESULT IN
KNOXVILLE.

Sam Heiskell, straight democrat,
has been elected mayor of Knoxville,
after one of the bitterest campaigns in
the history of that city.
The Knoxville Sentinel, before the
election, said that the dominant issue
in the campaign was prohibition.
jeff McCarn few days ago went
over to Knoxville, and made strong
statewide speech, and declaration for
Heiskell's opponent, the present may
or.
The Knoxville Sentinel of Friday,
under the caption of effect Else

leading editorial:
"The right sort of a vote for temper
ance tomorrow will encourage all East
Tennessee to stand fast for legislation
which has been placed on the statute
books of Tennessee. There is move
ment on to secure the repeal of this
legislation, The contest in Knoxville
IS the first battle of the campaign. If
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1910-01-20

the opponents of prohibition win here
they will herald it abroad that prohi-
bition is a failure in Knoxville and
that the people grew tired of it and
elected an administration opposed to
the enforcement of the law. Such a
result would do great harm through
out the state and throughout the south.
Just as the March IL, 1907, election
was great inspiration to the people
of this and surrounding states to con-
tinue their fight against the saloon, so
an apparent failure of the law in Knox
vile would be very influential in en-
couraging those who are opposed to
prohibition to fight for a return of the
saloons The election here is of vital
importance OH this account. If there
is a let down in Knoxville as to law
enforcement, great encouragement will
be given the liquor forces. On the
other hand, if we stand fast, ether
communities in the state will be in
duced gradually to enforce their laws

and the tried and true democrats voted
straight and won, electing also James
