and they will get solid vote in this
part Of the state; but let us make a
record for ourselves by giving them
every vote at least in Ryder and Plaza
It would be something to be proud of
If we could do this. It would show
and advertise to the state that Plaza
and Ryder had men who stood solid
and to a man. Nothing would make
our town better known and talked
of, If we could show our appreciation
by casting a united vote. No member
of congress has done or will have a
chance to do so much for this vicinity,
as Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. McCumber have
done by getting the reservation bill
through. Let us show our apprecia-
ton.
Tolna Tribune: Congressman Han
ma, says. and we believe him, that he
has tried hard to care for the inter
ests of the people of this state during
the year he has been in congress, His
long residence in the state has given
him a knowledge of the needs of the
people and he has the ability that gets
results. AT the present time he Is a
member of the agricultural committee
which gives him a chance to do much
for North Dakota. 1t would be a sad
mistake not to re-elect him but 1t
seems that the sentiment is strong
that he should be reelected.
Barlow Enterprise: North Dakota
farmers will endorse Senator McCum-
Der and Congressman Hanna. Both
are good men and loyal to the inter-
ests of the state. Both are republi-
cans, who stand by and support the
national administration. Both are
men of standing in the national con-
gress Both believe in the perpetual
ton of the republican policies under
which this country has prospered
amazingly.
Ryder News: Gunder Olson of
Grafton is the leading candidate for
state treasurer and he is EXPECTED to
defeat Bickford two to one. Bickford
got in by mistake and his whole term
of Office has been a joke.
Bowman Pioneer: a man who has
done a great deal, probably more than
any other official In the state, to .ad-
vance the interests of North Dakota
is w. G. Gilbreath, commissioner of
agriculture and labor, who is a candi-
date for reelection. He has made an
excellent official is a staunch repub-
lican and deserves the support of ev-
cry citizen of the state.
Minot Democrat: Congressman Han
ma has remained in. Washington look
ing after the interests of his constit-
uents when 1t was expected by his
enemies that he would be in North
Dakota looking after his political
fences.

IN OLDHUMPHREYS COUNTY
Many Independents Not Willing
to Vote for Hooper and Be-
lieve Democracy Can Win

WaVerly, Tenn, Sept. 19.-Since the
independents convention adjourned, hav-
ing to some extent Endorsed the repub-
lican candidate for governor, both the
democrats and quite a number of the
independents have had time to get
their second breath, and the democrats
now think and believe that democracy
has as good, if not better, opportunity
to win than before the convention If a
sound and good democrat is put out,
and every true democrat gets right
down to business and pushes the mat
ter as only they can. Your correspond
ent finds that a number of the indie
pendents Of this county, repenting of
their heretofore action, say that they
cannot vote for a republican for gov
ernor; that they only made the fight
on Patterson; that since he is elimin-
ated from the situation they feel that
their duty is now only toward the
democratic party; that they are now
willing to support any good and true
democrat that the party may put up;
that they opposed Patterson upon prin-
ciple only; that they felt like he and
his policies were detriment to the
party and the great mass of the people,
hence their opposition.

October 3. Saturday night is an I'M

A GAY SOLDIER BOY.

George Hodges, a popular member
of Company F, "blew in" to the Comet
office in the "wee sma' hours this
morning loaded to the muzzle with sun
dry rotations of lubricating oil which
set the machinery of the inner man
in motion and made him as talkative
as trained poll parrot. He talked
upon various subjects and quoted cele-
brated authors and poets necessarily
until his ammunition gave out. He
then graciously accepted the proffered
hospitality of the commander of the
Comet, who had him slowed away in
secluded corner, where he was cap
tured by Morpheus and waited into
the land of dreams. 1t is hoped by

derelict in reporting his company COM

SAYS HE DID

FIRST DISTRICT PRIMARY
Has Established Headquarters at
Greeneville and Will Begin an

Gen. James r. Penland, candidate
for the republican nomination for Con-
gIess in the first district before the
primary of October 9Th, will establish
headquarters at Greeneville today and
start at once on an active campaign
for the nomination.
Gen. Penland has been quite serious
ly i'll for several days, which prevent
ed him opening his campaign yester-
day, as he will be able to get out in a
very few days, and he expects to start
a vigorous campaign just as soon as
his physical condition will allow it.
Referring to statement by Senator
Sam r. Sells another candidate for
the nomination, appearing in the
Journal and Tribune Sunday morning
in which Senator Sells said that he did
| not believe Gen. Penland would be a
candidate, and inferred that his quail
fications was not legal and proper, Gen.
Penland said there is no doubt abont
his qualification being regular. He
said that it was dictated by him and
was in proper form and fully author
lied by himself in every respect.

Gen. Penland said that he had ex-
pected to open his campaign at New
port Monday, where circuit court was
in session and which is his native
county. He said, though that though
illness had prevented him getting out
yesterday, he expected to be out in
few days and push his campaign Wig
orously until the close of the day of
the primary, October 9Th. He said
that he expected to visit all of the coun-
ties in the district and make a rapid
fire campaign when he does begin, and
see as many of the voters as possible.
He said that he had received much en-
enlargement in his race since he an
nounced, and he had been receiving
many letters and kilograms which as
sured him of cordial support. He ex-
presses confidence that he will be NOM
mated and elected. AS soon as he is
able, he will go to Greeneville to as
sumo charge of headquarters to be
opened for him there today,

held in Johnson City under the au-

number of people to Johnson City dur
ing the celebration. The success Of
the carnival, weather permitting will
be due to Mr.. Alting's hustling, as it
is largely through his energetic and
tireless efforts that the show has been
so thoroughly and extensively adver-
tised. Mr.. Alting has made many
friends during his stay here, and has
been entertained by several of our we'll
known merchants. We wish for good

OUTRAGEOUS INDEcENCY.

Nothing in connection with the re-
cent so-called independent demo-
cratic cnnvention-a palpable misno-
mer as it was in no sense tindepend-
ent," having been "bossed" from the
selection of delegates to the ramming
of tho Hooper Endorsement down their
Threats without the privilege of de-
bate or even protest-was quite so con-
temptible trick as the dragging of the
old confederate soldiers from the Home
to march in political procession and
finally, without their knowledge or
consent, made to furnish setting to
the treacherous project of destroying
the party that had cared for and pro-
tected them. These old men were en-
titled to protection against such an UNI
natural alignment, and the men guilty
OF cajOling and deceiving them into the
movement deserve the contempt and
execration of all right-minded people.
Led to belive, doubtless, that they
were simply to express their approval
OF the independent movement to pre-
serve the courts and purge their own
party of its offensive machine, they
wheedled into convention hall to
participate innOcently in a cut and
dried scheme, in pursuance of a politi-
cal dick'r, TO turn the democracy OF
the state over to Mr.. Newell San
ders and his party and made to appear
as approving the action that consum-
mated the formation of political ma
chine the most complete and offensive
ever engineered in Tennessee.
1t was the play of small politicians
seeking to cover their own duplicity
by an appeal to the tenderest. senti-
ment the people of Tennessee have ey-
er observation-disclosures love and loyalty
to the old confederate soldier-and the
shanelessness of il is going to arouse
the indignation and resentment of pa
triotic Tennesseans. 1t would have
been just as bad if these dependent old
men had beed persuaded into demon
Stration at democratic convention,
but when they have been used to pro-
mote a treacherous alliance from
which every principle they have ever
stood for would naturally separate
them and of which their heroic deeds
of the past in behalf of the liberty of
individual action, speech and con-
science is monumental rebuke, the
incident convicts the men who "work-
ed it up" Of objectionable indecency
and an outrageous aff'ront to the best
sentiment of the state.
This miserable piece of political leg
erdemain will constitute one of the
virile charges in the bill of indictment
the reorganized and reyitalized democ-
racy will file with the people against
the conspiratOrs that would deliver
them into the bands of the republican
Observation-Disclosures Times.

FOR DEMOCRATS
TO REMAIN LOYAL
DECLARES REPUBLICANS
Have No Claim on independent
and Insist on Party Getting
Together for Supremacy

Nashville, Sept. 20,-Gen. Harvey
Hannah last night gave out the follow.
ing address:
To My Democratic Friends in Tennessee
Having taken an active part in the
recent judicial race for the independent
judges, l feel it my duty, both to my
party and my friends, to address them
in this open letter.
The political conditions which re.
Gently existed In the democratic party
have passed away. The election of the
independent judicial ticket in August
and the voluntary retirement of Gov.
Patterson as candidate to succeed
himself have absolutely changed the
situation.
There is nc cause now for battle be-
tween regular and independent demo-
Gratis. There is only one issue in this
campaign, and that is the issue between
democracy and republicanism. The
republicans have candidate and q
platform; the democrats have neither.
l am not in sympathy with the move
ment to deliver the independent DEM
ocrats of Tennessee to the republican
party.
1t is well known that in the recent
judicial campaign, gave all the ener-
gy of my soul and body in opposition
to the regulars, but when that faction
al struggle ended, was still, as before,
democrat, and refused to participate
in a convention, the object of which
was to pledge me, and all other indie
pendent democrats, 10 vote the republic
can ticket in November, but on the
contrary l protested against it, and
still protest against it, as an effort to
buck and gag every man with whom /
fought in that contest, and then bind
up helpless to the chariot wheels of re-
publicanism in Tennessee.
If there was any trade to deliver the
independents to the republicans I want
it to be known that / was not party
to such deal. On the contrary, from
every stump from which 1 spoke
challenged such charge and branded
it as untrue, and still brand it as I'M
true as to myself and the glorious body
of democrats with whom fought.
In the recent judicial race there was
no partisan politics, but our fight was
made to keep the judiciary out of poll
tics, and the people, irrespective of
party, Endorsed our position and elect
ed our ticket. What right has the re-
publican party or its nominees to ask
us to support them now, when there is
no longer any factional issue between
democrats?
appeal to all democrats in Tennes-
see, of all factions, democrats who are
not in sympathy with republican rule
