/ fairs of this State, and we will have
a government of law and not one
of anarchy.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
| believe that a good, business
administration of our State gov
ernment, with politics as far in the
background as possible, will be of
inestimable value to the State. Let
the outside world know what we
! propose to establish domestic peace
and tranquility and that our gates
are open TO the capital and labor of
the world. Instead of building po-
litical machines, let us build public
roads and run the road-roller over
macadam instead of the bodies of
our fellow citizens.
With a broad and liberal public
! spirit, and much legislative encour-
agement as is right and proper, let
us coax and persuade outside cap
ltal to help us mine the coal and
iron, quarry the marble, dram the
sWamps, promote the agriculture,
build the cities and develop the wa
ter power Of this magnificent State.
With a concentrated effort along
these lines for a few years, we may
become distinguished abroad for
excellence in some line of endeavor
other than the pardon industry.
1t would be impossible within the
limits of brief address, to enter
deeply into details of all these mat
tiers of public interest. l trust,
however, that | have made my po-
sition on the main issues of this
campaign sufficiently plain that no
body need be deceived either in vot-
ing for me or against me.
| ann exceedingly proud not only
OF the nomination given me by my
party, and the manner in which it
was given, but of the endorsement
of that splendid convention of anti
machine Democrats.
| realize to the fullest extent that
am something more than the
nominee of party, but for the
time being, as the result Of a right
eous political revolution, | am rep
resenting the better element of all
parties. | have refrained from dis
cusSing those conditions among
Democrats which have led up to
this extraordinary upheaval. The
Independent Democrats seem to be
abundantly able to take care of
themselves in the settlement of
these questions. But | would have
them to know that do not miscon-
strue their attitude toward me in
this race. While | have many per-
sonal friends among them, their
support of me is not personal Re-
publican as | am, and Democrat as
they are, their support of me is not
partisan.
VOTE FOR ENLOE.
With a courageous determination
to annihilate machine government
and restore law, order and govern
mental decency, they are giving me
their support. In this connection l
desire TO urge upon all my Repub-
lican friends that they vote for Col.
Enloe, the candidate for Railroad
Commissioner, who bears the unan-
lmous endorsement of the Repub-
lican State Convention. Some Pat
terSon machinist is running against
him, but | do not now recall his
name. 1t will be Dennis" how
ever, in November.
In conclusion, l call upon patri-
otto Tennesseans of every race,
creed and party to assemble under
the banner of civic righteousness
and do battle with the political ma
chine that has furnished and be-
dimmed the glory Of our State. Let
us for the time being sink our
minor differences, cease to linger at
the tomb of departed issues, and
with our faces turned toward the
future, fight valiantly for the good
name of our grand old common
wealth. There is much more in
volved in this fight than the puny
personalities of the contending can
didates or the partisan preferences
of political organizations. A sharp
conflict is being waged in the eter-
nal warfare between right and
wrong, Upon this ground good
citizens can come together from
every walk of life.
The man who daily tolls beneath
the mighty piles Of brick and steel
and stone in the cities and the man
who lives in the little cabin back in
the hills, where the hollyhocks
grow in the front yard, and the
beaten pathway winds down to the
spring, each, with the fear of God
and the love of country in his heart,
will join hands with the other to re-
deem this State. Nor is it I'M
