We have waged this contest alone
for principle. Without reward, with
out the spoils of Office, with all the
patronage and power Of party machin-
cry in the hands Of the opposition, we
have conducted the campaign with he
roic devotion to duty and have been
actuated by the very highest concep-
tons Of civic obligations. And we
shall not abandon the field merely be- |
cause our success imperils a few pro-
fessed Democrats at the pie counter. |

root of government: we shall never
abandon those policies which mean
more to the peace and safety of our
people and the protection of our
homes, than the success of any pcliti-
,al organization.
In this great contest we cannot COM

imaginable. There is no middle

There is no twilight zone where {

My friends, what would the world
have said. if the trained and valolous
troops Of the great wellington. who
had fought with a determination, q
heroism AMI a courage unsurpassed
in the annals of the world, ha,
when the last charge of the Imeprial

Way at Waterloo, broken and ted?
Then England would have lost the
struggle of twenty years against the
monster OF abho lutism, the clock OF
the worlds civilization would Rave

glories Of Abukair, and Trafalga and
the Penninsular would have been
forever efaced Then the great issue
between constitutional government and
the absolute will Of one man that was
to determine the future destiny of civ
ilization, would have been decided
against the RIGHTS of man.
My fellow citizens, this is our sit
uation today. We have driven the en-
envy from one position to the other.
We have even captured his commissa-
~ department. We nave taken mis- or
gan. We have forced him to Substi-
tue commanders as frequently as the
genius of Lee and the devotion and

Then we believed that public cfice

Then we stood for the complete out

And this last question, my fellow
citizens. is the paramount issue in the
campaign. We shall support a plat
form and candidates who are not
afraid to express themselves upon
this, the most important issue that
has engaged the attention of the peo-
pie of Tennessee, in a generation.
But they tel US that the liquor ques-
ton has no proper place in a party
platform because it must be dealt with
by the legislature. And SO must ev-
cry other question Of governmental
policy, for this is a government by
law. The liquor question is certainly
entitled to more consideration from
the platform builders than the bloody
shirt. Taxes, schools, pensions, moral
issues, these must all ultimately go
to the legislature, hence the excuse
for their cOwardice is absurd.
Unies the liquor question Is settled

the people for years to come. Our po- |
sition is plain; theirs is dodge. Our /
life and character are q |

questions to remember how he voted /
in one of the most memorable con-
tests in Tennessee's history.
