EXPLANATION IN 1ett

EXPLANATION IN 1915.
IN letter addressed TO the vo,ers
oI the Seventh Senatorial District by
MI. Baker, in which he presents bis
claims for reelection to the state
senate, Mr.. Baker gives the following
eXpanation of his vote In 1908 unon
tho submission o. tho Prohibition
Amendment:
understand that | have been
somewhat censured. for my vote op
the submission of the state wide pro
hlDition amendment in the special
session OF the legislature of 1908
DellcVe then, as | do now. that there
were several good and sufficient rea-
sons iustifying my action at that
time; but as space forbids mentioning
all | shall refer to- only one, and that
is the constitutionality of the meas.
ure. On this question under the call
o. the Governor for this special SEES.
sion there wero grave doubts in tho
minds OF many OF the ablest lawyers
OF the state including at least two
members of the Supreme Court at
the: time.
|, Il think a representative should not
support any legislation, however.
good Ii might be, that Is unconstitu.
tional, and which, il enacted, could
only Involve the state in the expense
of defending nuwerous suits brought
by reason thereof.
II voted against this measure not
because | opposed its submission to
a vote OF the people but largely on
account of the wide spread belief that
il was unconstitutional under tho
call and would have had far-reaching
and harmful effects at that time. AS
proof Of this | refer you to my vote
on this question in the regular ses-
sion of 1909, when there was no ques-
ton as to the constitutionaliiy of the
measure submitted and when tho
BUSINESS interests had had ample time
to be adjusted to the proposed change
/ was Graded and reared I'm an at
mosphere antagonistic to the traffic
and its communicating Influences. and
if ! am returned to the senate / will
continue to vote for any effective
measure which has for its object the
elimination of the liquor traffic"

GRAND TRUNK LOSES.
Americans Lead in Promoting a Rail-
road in Alaska.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 1.-THE
British Columbia & Alaskan Railway
company. organized by syndicate of
New York bankers to build railroad
across southwestern Alaska and to
Vancouver. has beaten the Grand
Trunk Pacific in the race for a route.
With the Ottawa department of rail-
roads rests the final decision on the
preliminary route plans, and the Brit
ish Columbia & Alaska was the first to
file these.
Americans had their engineers in
the field fully two months before the
Grand Trunk surveyors began. This
is the second time the Grand Trunk
has been engaged in a route race to
Vancouver. In the former instance
the Grand Trunk lost, and Mackenzie
and Mann of the Canadian Northern
won the decision of the Ottawa minis
ters- Both had filed identical plans
but the Canadian Northern was first.
If the American capitalists win their
application for federal approval of
their plans they will reap a decided
advantage.

Robin COOPER CASE.

The action of Attorney General An
derson and Judge Neil in dismissing
the case against Robin Cooper, the
slayer of Senator Carmack, will cause
little surprise. No one expected An
derson or Neil to have any sympathy
for any effort to punish those who
murdered the States greatest citizen.
Anderson was elected by those who
have but scant regard for the law in
general and none for the law against
murder Neil is an appointee Of Pat
terson who was a witness for the
Coopers and who has openly express
ed his approval of their deed. In deed
and In truth the trial Of Robin Cooper
would have been under the circum-

Mrs. Cooley D. Carmack, widow oil
Senator Carmack who was murdered
by the Coopers, was amazed at the dis
missal of the case against Robin
Cooper. She was naturally very in
dignant. She felt that Justice had
been outraged. This morning Mrs.
Carmack gave out the first public
statement that she has made recently
but she felt that it was her duty to
publicly protest against this latest
outest outrage. Her statement fol
lows:
A representative of the Associated
Press called on Mrs. e. w. Carmack
Wednesday for a statement in refer
ence to the action Of the Attorney
General Of Davidson county last Tues
day in having a verdict Of not guilty
entered in the case against Robin
Cooper for the murder of Senator e.
w. Carmock. Mrs Carmack said:
Il was astounded at the outrage per-
petrated in the criminal court room OF
Davidson county. yesterday, when the
Attorney General with the consent OF
the Judge had a verdict of not guilty
entered as to Robin Cooper and allow
ed the other assassin OF my husband
to go unwhipt Of justice.
Il had been in frequent communica-
ton with some Of the lawyers who
assisted the state On the first trial and
only about ten days ago Mr.. Fitznugh
was at my home to see me in refer
ence to the case against Robin Coop
er and was assured by him and 9TH
er counsel In the case that nothing
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1910-11-18

would be done in the case on the 18th;
that no jurors had been drawn; nc
witnesses on either side subpoenaed
and no sort of preparation by either
side was being made to try the case
this month, and the announcement in
the Banner and Tennessean that the
case would be continued, confirmed
this statement, and / rested under the
assurance that little later on con-
ference of the States counsel would
be held and another day set for the
trial.
"The Attorney General was well
aware that he could and would have
the assistance of the same counsel
who appeared for the State in the first
trial, or by easy communication with
some of them he could have ascer-
tanned that fact.
Both of the defendants were con-
victed of the murder of my husband
after a protracted trial before jury
of their own selection and before a
Judge who was personally and pcliti-
cally a friend to their cause and to
them. The Supreme Court affirmed
this sentence as to d. B. Cooper and
reversed it as to Robin, not on the
ground that he was not guilty on the
facts, but on refusal Of the trial Judge
to give in charge certain special re-
quests bearing upon his counsels con-
tention as to the law. They were not
only convicted by jury selected by
defendants themselves, but the press
of the nation with practically unani
nous vioce pronounced them guilty
of assassination, and denounced the
pardon of d. B. Cooper as
a gross and corrupt abuse Of the Gov
eronr's power. And yet in the face of
this record what must be thought of
this latest affront to justice
"The gross misconduct of the Attor-
ney General in having this verdict en- J
tered In the absence of anybody In /

who stood convicted before the world
