Dear Sir:-I suppose you have no
ticed the effort that is being made by
the Patterson management to divide
the anti-Patterson vote by getting the
| republicans to. nominate another Judi
cial ticket.
This is their only hope OF success.
The fact that the scheme is being
worked through the American, which
is the Patterson organ, is a sufficient
indication of its origin. | find very
few republicans who wish to see an
other judicial ticket nominated. |
hope you will see that no republicans
are misled in your part of the coun-
try.
| think it will be we'll for the state
/ Committee to have meeting after the
Patterson primary on the 4th, or possi-
bly, after the meeting of his committee
on the 10th. Please write me your
views on the subject. Very truly
yours, NEWELL SANDERS.
So the chairman of the republican
state executive committee concludes
the American is working the "scheme
and the American is Patterson IS organ.
1t isn't generally known, but Mr..
Sanders is a funny man, and this
''scheme of the Patterson organ" is a
species of Sanders facetia. The chair
mans humor is of a gum shoe kind,
but he really means to be funny. This
true apostle of republica shinesun in
Tennessee isn't serious about declaring
the American Patterson's organ. It's
his wit finding expression from his
numerous view of the situation. That
newspaper of Democracy should
give his side free rein to express
themselves appeals to his laugh, He
wants to be jovial So he tells his joke
We can hear the hee-hawl reverberat-
ing from Sullivan to Shelby. Great
schemel Patterson organl hope you
will see no republicans misled!
Oh! Newell, stop your kiddin'. You
funny, funny fellowl
Really, if it was not for the fuNlnal<-
ing face between the lines of the re-
publican chairman's better, we would
suspect this contribution to the politi-
cal literature of the day was without
an earmark and fresh from the free
untrammeled press bureau of Editor
Coalition Gates. But it is too funny
for Charley. 1t lacks the decorum of
of an attorney generals slouch picture
hat and Prince Albert coat. 1t is gen.
uine. 1t is positively Sandersesque
And it is to laugh. Nashville Ameri-

27, 1910.
"My Dear Mr.. Tawney-1 am deeply
grieved over the phase which the dis
cussion of the appropriation for the
travelling expenses of the president
took yesterday. think it is legiti,
mate argument in favor of such an ap-
preparation that congressman and
many Others press the acceptance OF
invitations to visit their sections and
districts, because the urgency of such
requests indicates the opinion on the
part of the people that one of the du-
ties of the president is to visit the peo-
pie in their homes.
"But the intimation or suggestion
that the acceptance by congressman of
Of the presidents invitation to travel
on the train with him in their respec-
tive districts or states was a reason
why they should not vote their free
opinion on the question of such an APP
preparation is to me most painful
one.
"In travelling upon the train they
were not receiving my hospitality
they were only making a little more
elaborate the cordial welcome which
they as representatives of their districts
wished to give.
''The feature of the discussion yes
terday which was especially distress
ing to me was suggested reflection
on southern hospitality. The intima-
tion that somewhere in the south
board was charged has no foundation
