time when merit, competency and

vision has continued by its adoption
into the constitution Of 1870 to be the

parties Of this state, been recognized

the judiciary.

twenty-one members, not one OF wnom

Thursdays Daily.)


We. the democratic voters OF Ten
nessee, who, regardless OF past 1ac-
tional differences, believe in the IN
dependence ana the integrity OF our
judiciary, in convention assembled IN
Nashville on wednesday, the 18TH oay
&c Nav 1910. do hereby reafirm and
declare:
First-That all power is inherent
in the people, and all free govern
ments are founded alone upon thelr
consent and authority, and are lhsti-
tuted for their peace, safety and nap
piness; and for the advancement Vi
those ends they have at all times the
inalienable and indefeasible right 10
alter. reform or abolish any agencies
of their own creation, and to repuui-
ate any self-constituted agency tnat
seeks to thwart their sovereign WILL
second-That governments oeing
instituted for the common benefit the
doctrine of non-resistance against ar
hitrary power and oppression is aD-
srrb slavish and destructive OF the
good and happiness Of mankind.
Third-That the division OF the
movers of government into three dis
tinct departments, to-wit: the leeis-
lative. the executive and judiciary
and the absolute independence Oh
each in the exercise Of its just pow
ers is essential to the stability OF the
commonwealth and the freedom oi
the people.
Fourth-That the independence ana
integrity of the judiciary are essen
tial to good governments and free
state. and any attempt to coerce tne
courts of the state in the exercise Oh
their proper functions under the con-
stitution being destructive OF inc
peace, happiness and safety Oh inc
neon,e NJ the state, should be resist
ed by all lawful means known TO Tree
men.
rfth-That the present paramount
issue before the people of Tennessee
is the independence and integrity OF
their courts, and to this issue so w
ia, 10 their liberties and the saie-
guarding of their property interests
an o+hor questions should be subor-
dinated.
sixth-That our ancestors more

tions. the governor and his so-called
committee have disrupted the dem
ocratic party in the state, and said
acts constitute sufficient grounds for
repudiating said committee and its
attempted usurpation of power.
Therefore, be it resolved:
First-That we do hereby repudiate
the so-called democratic executive
committee as undemocratic, arbitrary,
tyrannicaI and guilty of gross usurpa-
ton of power, and not entitled to the
support of any democratic voter in
| Tennessee.
Second-We unqualifiedly denounce
and condemn the effort of the gov
ernor and his executive committee to
overcome and coerce the supreme
court of the state in the decision OF
case pending before it, and we es-
pecially endorse and approve the
courageous and patriotic action OF
Chief Justice Beard and Associate
Justices John K. Shields and M. M
Neil, of the supreme court, in refus-
ling to submit to the vicious and I'M
democratic primary plan promulgat-
ed by the governor and committee;
and. further, we commend the refusal
of Judges Lansden, Hall, Higgins,
Wilson and Taylor, all of whom were
candidates before the PRONUNCIATION of
said plan, in refusing to submit, there
to-
Third-We call upon every demo-
cratic voter in Tennessee who be-
lieves in the integrity and indepen-
dence of the judiciary and the right
of the people to control their own af-
fairs, to refuse to participate in the
so-called blanket primary ordered for
June 4, 1910, and any other primary
or convention ordered by said COM
mittee, and to stamp that Ubiquitous
plan with their condemnation.
Fourth-We do hereby endorse as
candidates for the supreme court Of
Tennessee, w. d. Berd, M. M. Neil,
John X. Shields. D. L. Lansden and
Grafton Green, and as candidates for
the court Of civil appeals, S. F. Will
son, Joseph C. Higgins, John M. Tay-
lor, Frank P. Hall and H. Y Hughes,
and we do hereby pledge them our
support at the. polls in August, and
call upon every good citizen of Ten
nessee, who believes in a judiciary
that shall be free from partisan infiu-
ence Of factional prejudice, to join US
in our efforts to free the judiciary OF
Tennessee from political or machine
control.

those in the Auditorium and those

tai number of visitors in Nashville
who wore badges was from ten to
twenty thousand.

H. P. Figuers-"It was the largest
convention / ever attended or that
was ever held in the state. The en-
thusiasm was remarkable. The Ry-

the crowd was packed in: The benches
