The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1910-09-09

J tion to be beld on September IA, 1915
to make nominations for the Democrat
party for United States Senator, Comp
troller and Treasurer, but that the pee
pie in the election Of Representative
to the Legislature should be left to in
struet their Representatives and Sena
tors how to vote in the election of sat
officers; but, however, this conventioi
desires to go on record in favor OF, AM
does endorse Hon. Reau f. Folk for re
election to the Office Of State Treasurer
believing that the patriotic stand whicl
he took at once in repudiating the ma
Echine-made plan for the nomination o
candidates by the Patterson machin,
committee, together with the excellen
record which he has made in that office
entities him to this expression OF oul
most hearty approval and endorsement.
Seventh, Resolved further that in our
deliberate judgment the Democrats Of
Obion County cannot afford to support
M. r. Patterson for reelection, and that
he is not entitled to such support, either
by his record, which is too well known
to make it necessary to be here re-
heaFsed, or upon his false and pretended
claim that he is the nominee of the
Democratic party; for he has not been
nominated by the Democrats of the
State, either by primary election con-
yention, or by any authorized Demo-
cratic committee, and we repudiate his
claims as such nominee, and believe
that it is the patriotic duty of all true,
genuine Democrats to defeat him if pos
sible by all honorable means.
Eighth, Resolved further that the del
egates to be appointed to represent
Obion County il the said State Demo-
cratic convention to be held on Sept. IA
are hereby instructed to vote for a plat
form of principles of genuine and sound
Democracy, including planks repudiat-
ing the official administration of Gov.
NJ r. Patterson as undemocratic, and
contrary to the best welfare of the State,
including pldnks opposing the repeal of
the recent election law, and the State
wide Prohibition law, and the law pro-
hiblting the manufacture or sale of in
toxicating liquors passed by the last
General Assembly, and favoring such
further legislation as will promote the
enforcement Of the principles Of said
legislation.
j. j. WELLS, Chairman.
DIR. McRee arose to indorse the re-
port, saying that he had been called a
traitor, bolter, squaw man, etc, and
that he was glad to see the triumph of
his views and Of the Endorsement OF his
work in the Legislature. He had at
tended the Independent Democratic
the largest and most repre-
sentative gathering Of Tennessee Demo
Gratis ever held in the State, and he was
indeed gratified that the action of the
State Democratic Executive Committee
the administration organization, had
been repudiated
