characterized by intense enthusiasm

Good Time to Turn Farmer.

IN theory there never was Il better
time than right now for sensible
man to move from city to country. The
movement has been away from the
farm until prices Of all kinds Of food
and fiber are high. There is nothing III
sight TO Indicate that prices will be
greatly reduced by increased produc-
ton. A crop well grown and handled
with good business Judgment will be
reasonably sure of sale at fair price.
There never was time when it was
so easy to learn new methods and the
principles of scientific farming. A man
starting now may receive at once the
benefit of thirty years Of the expert
ence and study of good farmers aud
scientific experts.-H. W. Collingwood

| NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 15.-
Amid scenes OF the widest enthusi-
asm the Democratic State convention
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon en-
dorsed the nomination of Capt. Ben
w. Hooper, who accepted the endorse
ment in a speech that completely cap
tivated the convention.
There was no discord nor wrangling
in the convention. Capt. Hooper was
endorsed by the unanimous standing
vote Of the delegates. Not delegate
raised a voice in protest. Never be-
fore, in the history of Tennessee has
the banner of Democracy been placed
in the hands Of any candidate with
such a degree of unanimity nor with
greater enthusiasm.
After long wait the committee on
platform and resolutions presented
the platform at shortly after o'clock.
That document met with the most cor
dial reception and was adopted unan-
imously by standing vote. The plat
form was substantially as outlined
in these dispatches yesterday.
Declaring for rule Of the people,
against machine domination, for the
nomination of all committees and can
didates by direct vote of the people or
the peoples representatives, the plat
form makes strong plea for law en-
forcement, approves the existing tenn
perance legislation, demands that the
prohibition laws be enforced; con-
dennis Patterson's abuse of the par
doning power; pleads for the common
schools, favors liberal appropriations
for the old soldiers and notifications
of the fellow servants rule.
When Capt Hooper was escorted
to the stand to accept the endorse
ment by a committee composed Of
Maj. E. B. Stahlman, Capt. G. T. Fitz-
hugh and Luke Lea he received an
ovation perhaps never surpassed in
the history Of the Democratic party Of
this State The convention rose en-
masse and oheered for several min
utes. The most enthusiastic in the
audience in joining in tribute to Capt.
Hooper were the 500 Confederate sol
diers on the platform and in the audi
ence.
Hooper's plain, emphatic but tact
full discussion of the questions or the
hour caught the convention. Without
any oratorical fourishes he impressed
the convention with his absolute sin
certify and was cheered to the echo.
The convention adjourned sine die
at about 430 o'clock and the State
Democratic Committee met at Cnce
for organization. o. G. Barton, of Par
is, was elected temporary chairman, |
the election of permanent chairman |
being postponed until Saturday week.
The personnel of yesterdays con- !
ventions was its notable feature. 1t
was composed of life long Democrats,
500 or more of them being SCARED he
roes of the Confederate army. 1t was
an intelligent, enthusiastic assemblage
united and determined to
rid this State of Patterson and Pat
1t was convention of
men who believed in law enforcement
and who are unalterably opposed to

WASHINGTON NEWS
Furnished the Observer Weekly by
Clyde II. Tavenner, Special Cores
pondent.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 5th, -
"The whoopers-up for President Taft
claimed that he was>omnipotent and
could force congress to do anything
he decided, declared Minority Leader
Champ Clark, reviewing the session
just closed in an interview with the
writer.
If that be true one thing must be
admitted and that is that Mr.. Taft
is in favor of the reckless waste Of
public money.
"The total of appropriations for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1910, was
81, ,044, 900, 900, whereas the appropria-
tions for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1911, are about $1,05S, ,O0O. 900, an
increase of $14,OOO,OOO. Such expendi-
lures. are absolutely unjustifiable.
When the president came into office
he declared for economy with a great
flourish of trumpets. The newspapers
were full of what he was going to do
in that regard to relieve the taxpay-
ers of the land. But all such talk
turned out to be 'thundering in the
index-as the foregoing tables show.
II have heretofore stated in the
house and out Of it that Senator Aid
rich said a good business man can
run the government just as well as it
is run for 100000, 900 per annum less
than it now costs. The president
himself fixed the amount which could
be saved every year at 100000, 900.
Other Republican big wigs, notably
Senator Carter, of Montana, Senator
Hale, of Maine, chairman Of the Sen
ate Appropriations committee and
Hon. James A. Tawney,, chairman of
the House Appropriations committee,
have talked economy; but the fact
remains that their economy consists
entirely of CAB and that they actual
ly increased the appropriations in
stead of reducing them.
LAS they have large majorities in
as they pleased, one of two things is
true: 1-They do not desire to econo-
mize; or 2-They are utterly incom-
petent.
But how can President Taft ex-
pect congress to economize when he
sets the example Of extravaganza not
only by using up the $25,OOO annual
allowance for travelling expenses, but
uses up several thousands dollars
more? Be it remembered no president
ever received this travel pay till the
last part of the Roosevelt regime and
Roosevelt never used all of the al
lowance, while his successor uses
more. How can congress be expected
to economic when the vice-president
and speaker set the bad example by
using automobiles paid for by public
money?
Il am aware that economy is an
humble theme, but it is close to the
hearts Of the people and millions Of
them cannot afford to be taxed to
support Republican officials in their
reckless extravaganza"

The apportionment of delegates for
the Democratic state convention has
been made on the basis of one deie-
gate for every 125 votes cast for Gov
ernor Shafroth in the last election.
Shafroth received 1902 votes in Gill
pin county, which will give the local
Democracy Gncluding the delegate at
large) eleven delegats in the state
convention. There will be a total of
1,1OO delegates in the convention and
of this number Denver will have 2S4.
With this number Denver will be in

And Denver is not that kind that
