The Peoples Case.

The %perplexities and uncertainties
in Tennessee politics have been
many this year. 1t would take the
citizens of maturer years to remem-
Der when the state has been In such
an upheaval before. 1t is a strange
condition, and hard to understand;
in fact, it is doubtful if those we'll
schooled in politics know or have a
reasonable conception Of what the final
result will be.
When Governor Patterson withdrew
from the race it cast a shadow over
the whole situation, but after his posi-
ton was fully stated it was well I'M
derstood, and he was recognized as a
hero. The situation was then thor
oughly discussed by sober-minded
men, who have the interest Of the
state at heart, and from the outside
it appeared for a time that the warning
factions were getting together, ant
that harmony would once more be re
stored, but recent developments fai
to substantiate the belief, and 1t seems
that the war will not end until Novem
Der the eighth, when the people vii
make the final decision.
This has been a strenuous year pc
litically in Tennessee. For about 81:
months we have had little Of anythtni
else. We have hope, however, tina
after the election is over matters vii
strike a normal stride and the pscpi

TO NASHVILLE LABORERS

The election of Tuesday next is fraught with grave I'm.
portance to the laborers who are employed by the city OF
Nashville. The city pays its laborers $500 for a days
work of nine hours. 1t used to be that the city paid $125
for ten hours work. Under a democratic admlnlstra-
ton the wage scale has been increased sixty per cent. The
nominees of the democratic party for the legislature arc
pledged to maintain the present $500 per day rate.
The Independent candidates are for a commission form
of government which will increase the net cost OF govern
ing the city about eleven thousand dollars.
The city engineers report shows very conclusively that
Capt. Clearly and the street force build streets cheaper per
mile and build them better than contractors who pay their
hands SIPS per day for ten hours work. Thus, 1t clearly
follows that the only way to get the extra $1,000 to be
paid to the five commissioners would be to cut the wages
of the labOrers and others employed by the city.
These commissioners will have power under the char.
ter to hire, discharge and cut the salaries of all. This will
bring the schools into politics. A vote for the Independent
ticket will be a vote in that direction. It has been fire.
uuently said by a hostile press that the criminal element Of
the Negroes was lined up soidly behind the regular de-
mocratic ticket and that all Of the respectable ones were
for Hooper and Enloe, but investigation shows among the
followers of Senator Taylor colored men who are heavy
tax payers; men who contribute to the material welfare
of the State and county, and who are believers in civic
Righteousness and purity in social life.

The Wheeler Realty Company, a
local concern, had an advertisement
in one Of the daily papers recently in
which it was stated that in selling
lots in a suburban locality they would
have three specific restrictions, one
of which would be Negro restric-
tion." The advertisement also
stated that the company would sell
lots on Sunday. The Negroes Of
Nashville lad better steer clear Of
that company, for they are too
wicked to trust anywhere at any
time.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER a, 1910.
Election Day at Hand.

Next Tuesday will bring to a close
one of the fiercest campaigns that
has ever been waged in Tennessee,
and we hope it will be a long time be-
fore the citizens of this state will
have to go through another such or
deal. These differences of opinion
will come and the only fair way to
settle them is through the ballot box
and when the majority of the people
speak, that ought to settle every diff
ference, and we should accept those
whom fortune favors. and every man
should put his shoulder to the wheel
and lend his best energies to the in
terest of the general welfare.
The Globe has supported those can
didates in this campaign that from a
logical point of view seemed in the
best attitude to serve the people Of
this great state. We have no apol-
ogies to make for the stand we have
taken. We are still Of the opinion
we were in the outset, that those
democrats who have stuck to the old
party principles for the most part,
are the best qualified to administer
our laws. We believe that the gov
erning of the state can best be done
by those men who have not fused with
another party. An a~dulterated party
is as bad as an adulterated product
it will spoil with time. The republt'
can and dissatisfied democrats who
have combined in this campaign are
lust as certain to part company as
water is certain to continue to course
downward. Whether successful OF
not in this election, the break must
come, and it can mean nothing but
confusion, for which the people will
suffer.
We have advised as we believed Il
be best, not for money, but becaus'
we desire that peace and prosper1t,
continue with all the people. W
have not worked as hired servants
for not n penny have we received
and we are as free today to spea
what seems to be right as we wer
before the campaign started. Tn
Globe is not a "slush fund" papel
but the servant Of the people.
No man knows what the final GU
come wll be, therefore every on
should feel it his bOunden duty to 6
10 the polls and cast a vote. "
hope a majority OF the voters in II
state believe az we do; If they DO nj
we will consider that they have mao
mistake, and time win have to co
vince us that we i mistaken.

We agree with all the "Tennessean
and American has to say about draft
vehicles going through Church street.
But why the fling at the Negro? Ig-
norance is ignorance regardless Of
race or color. 1t is a mistake to try
to substitute race for fitness in the
qualification of citizenship.

TWO VITAL PROPOSITIONS.

In next Tuesdays election the Negroes Of
this city will come face to face with two pro-
positions that concern every man, woman
and child, namely: the establishing of a Nor
NAL School for the youth of the State OF len
neSSee and converting Black Bottom into a city
park.
This does not come as a warning, for there
is not sane man in this city or county who
would oppose either the Normal School or the
elimination of Black Bottom, but in face of the
great excitement in the campaign some might
overlook one or both Of them, and thereby
commit a crime against his children and a.
gainSt his children'S children.
1t is silly in any one to say that there are
enough schools in Nashville for Negroes. There
are many kinds of schools, and the State Nor
NAL is the kind the Negroes are deprived OF,
and they need a school where the boys
and girls can be taught the industries as we'll
as literary studies.
You will not only benefit the youth Of
Nashville by voting for the Normal School
Bonds, but those in every section of our State.
Black Bottom! the very name has a hor-
rifying affect. For years and years this Sec
tons of our fair city has been a menace to the
peace and happiness of our homes. The OPP
portunity m now to wipeit out. Will you
join other law abiding citizens and put an end
to this infamous rendezvous?
AS to where the people will 60 who are
now living in Black Bottom is a matter for
them to decide. If they will choose to change
their way of living it will be an easy matter
for them to find localities to live in, and we
believe that many of them would do that very
thing. One thing is certain there is no place
on earth worse than Black Bottom, and these
people could not be forced in a worse condition
than they now live under.
Let every man be up and on the alert.
Vote the Normal Bonds and Black Bottom
elimination yourself and see to it that your
feIIowman does the same thing.

Mr.. ENLOE'S CREED.

Mr.. EnOe, In q speech at SprlngHelO, SCaIeQ CndC re Id
vored the extension of the Dortch law and an amendment
to the constitution to disfranchise the Negro. Such is the
running mate of the republican coalition or fusion nomi-
nee.
THE O r. l. TAYLOR'S CREED.
believe in honest government and enforcement of the
law.
If I am elected governor, as l am going to be, I win do
all in nv power to enforce the laws as | find them on the
statute books until they shall be repealed by the leglsla-
ture.
believe in temperance and civic righteousness every
where.
believe in preserving purity of the church of God at
any cost, but l believe in the separation of the church and
state as the foundation principle of our free government.
believe in the establishment of public schools every
where, and the education of the people, both white and
black. I believe that the Negro is capable of development.
believe that education hurts no man, whether white or
black, and tendency of education is to make better cltl-
zens of any race of people. We have the Negro here
among us. and | want Tennessee to do what she has been
doing ever since the war-taxing herself to build school
houses for her Negro brethren. I would not see him OPP
pressed.
believe in the movement to build good roads through
the length and breadth of the state. Next to the church
and education, they are essential to prosperity of the state,
and especially of the farmer. l would not object to Uncle
Sam helping us a little in that way.

peen covered. Then action can be ta-
ken at once on the particular subject
concerned, while the commission inn
meoiately sproceeds- to investigate am
would be avoided and each subject
treated on its merits, while there would
be no such shock to general industry
as is implied in the present custom of
making sweeping changes in the whole
tariff at once. Finally, it should be the
duty of some governmental department
or bureau to investigate the conditions
IN the various protected Industries, and
see that the laborers are really getting
the benefit of the tariff supposed to be
enacted in their interest. Moreover to
insure good treatment abroad we should
keep the maximum and minimum pro-
vision.
The same principle of a first-class
outside commission should be applied
to river and harbor legislation. At
present river and harbor bill, like a
tariff bill, tends to be settled by
squabble among a lot of big selfish
interests and little selfish interests,
with scant regard to the one really
vital interest, that of the general pub
lie. In this matter the national leg
islature would do we'll to profit by the
example of Massachusetts. Formerly
Massachusetts, dealt with it's land and
harbor legislation just as at Washing
ton tariff and river and harbor laws
have been dealt with; and there was
just the same pulling and hauling, the
same bargaining and rolling, the
same subordination of the general in
terests to various special interests Last
year Governor Draper took UP the mat
ter, and on his recommendation, the
legislature turned the whole business
over to commission of experts and |
all trouble and scandal forthwith dis
Incidentally, this seems to |
me to be a drst-class instance of pro-
gressive legislation.

and tried to persuade the people to go
away. saying that Colonel Roosevelt
was tired, but they stayed until the
colonel came down the steps and
cheered him loudly. Then they fol-

colonel retired to his room, saying that
he was going to have the evening to
rest anyway. and that he would make
no further appearance until today.
Thousands of persons have come to

Colonel Roosevelt will lay the cor
