laws. Mr. Gilmore, liquor man
president of the 'Model License Leag
ne, " in an article in Bonfort's Wine
and Spirit Circular, written since the
August election in Tennessee, takes
the same position as to the strength OF
the prohibition sentiment in Tennes-
see. He says:
THE big majority in the recent
Tennessee election, given to the Re-
publican independently and against
the regular Democratic nominees, was
an echo to the statewide prohibition
fight, and the killing of Carmack; and
whether we like it or not, it must be
accepted as further protest of the
people of Tennessee against the liquor
traffic, as the people of Tennessee
know, or think they know, that traf-
fic,"
We have been working and praying
to drive the legalized liquor business
from Tennessee for nearly forty years.
And now, after we have won the fight,
it seems to me that it would be su-
premest folly and an unmeasured cal
amity to undo the work Of all these
years, and restore the liquor traffic to
its former legal status in this state.
It would mean that we would have to
go back and do all our work over a.
gain, and keep the question disturb
ing factor in the politics of the state
for years to come. We want to feel
that the question is settled and "out
of politics ''in this state, and prohib-
ition and home protection, the settled
policy of our people.
To restore the traffic to the cities
would be but an entering wedge to its
restoration to all other parts of the
state. The next step would be to re-
store it to the larger towns and then to
the smaller For there is not an argu-
ment in favor of restoring it to the
cities from which it was banished in
1909 that would not apply in favor of
restoring the business to all other
parts of the state.
So ten thousand w. c. T. U. wom-

To the Voters of the
Eleventh Senatorial
District of Tennessee

Recently the Democrats of Marion
County in mass convention assembled
| gave to me unanimously the nomina
tion for the Office of State Senator
accepted the nomination thus tendereG

not only for my own personal interest,
but for the interest of the entire citi-
zenship of the counties Of Marion,
Warren, Grundy, and Franklin as
well.
was chosen in mass convention by
representative body, irrespective of
factional differences, and as it has
been time honored custom for the
past IS years in this district to allow
the rotation plan" to dominate the
action of the entire district, and it
now being Marion County's time to
have this race, 1 deem it nothing but
right, fair and just to my county, and
also to the other counties, Warren,
Grundy and Franklin, that this plan
be still adhered to.
On this ground l base my claims for
the endorsement of the voters of the
district and as democrat, l obligate
myself to stand by the former prece-
dent, or rotation plan, and shall stand
by it at all times in the future.
Is it right. fair and just for Frank
lin County in the person of q. F.
Banks who two years ago was vigor-
ously insisting upon the time honored
rotation plan, and was given the race
as the choice of his own county, and
the other three counties concurring in
the same, to now say that there new
er was anything about rotation idea,
and that any person in any of the four
counties has a perfect right to make
this race" / answer, no.
stand for the enforcement of law,
being at all times law-abiding citi-
zen and cannot afford to champion
the cause of lawlessness in any form.
/ am asking, as the nominee of this
district the votes of all good citizens
in every county, both Republicans and
Democrats, and being the unanimous
choice Of the democrats for Marion
County, I deem it the duty of Warren,
Franklin and Grundy counties to as
sist me in making this race.
Mr.. Banks claims his nomination by
what power' By the hands or COM
mittee of four men who resoluted him
through. I claim that no committee
has the right to say who shall run any
for Office, but as have beensendorsed |
by the people in mass convention over
the district, l shall stand for the peo-
pie. / have never doubted them and
will not doubt them now.
I shall do my best to see all the vo-
5ers possible before the sth of Novem-
Der, and will make myself clear on the
issues of the day.
In conclusion is it right that War
ZEN, Grundy and Marion counties
'hould be deprived of their just rights,
of few scheming politicians
# Mr.. Banks ilk who should decree it
'therwisea Is this Democracy, Equal
lights to all and special privileges to

ay to those who share with me in
his endeavor, that I will represent the
whole district, and not desert my po

RACE CALLED OFF,.
Criticism of Last Vanderbilt Event Too
Much for Promoters.

New York, Oct 7.-As direct result of
criticism of the Vanderbilt cup race last
Saturday, which cost the lives of four
persons and the injury of more than
score of others. the grand prize race,
scheduled to be run over the same course
October Is. has been officially called off
by w. X. Vanderbilt, jr., the referee.
There is a possibility that the race will
be held at a later date, somewhere else,
and Savannah, Ga. which had already
made overtures for the event, is regarded
here as likely to be selected.
As result of the decision to abandon
the race here, the view was expressed
that automobile road racing in this vicin-
ity has received a death blow.
The decision TO call off the race was
reached at meeting of the executive
committee of the Motor Cups Holding
company with the entrants The COM
pany asked to be relieved of the RESPONSE
bility of conducting the race and the en-
trants adopted a resolution granting the
request.
What was described as the unjust and
unwarranted criticism of the Vanderbilt
cup race. was cited by the management
in statement the reason for aban-
doning the contest. 1t was also explained
that the suggestion to protect the course
with militia was impossible
Tenders for the race have been made

BOARD OF HEALTH.
They Order so Wells Closed in Resi-
dence District.

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 7.-As result
of an investigation by the city board
of health, which closed last night so
wells in a residence district. covering
but three square blocks, have been
closed. The action is taken because of
the fact that dozen cases of typhoid
fever have been developed in that part
of town during the last few days.
The wells were found to have drawn
a large part of their supply of water
from a ravine into which refuse of all
kinds had been dumped. An order has
been issued that all drinking water in
that part of town be boiled. The dis
trict is close to the center of a student
rOoming section of the city and, in all
probability, rigid inspection of stud
ent boarding houses will be made.
The keepers of houses will be requir
ed to either boil the water or draw
their supply from the city water mains
instead of the wells. Trouble of the
same kind has prevailed in previous
years in the student section. As yet
no student has contracted the disease
in this part of town this fall

WHY THEY DID 1T.
Lee O'Neil Browne Explains Democrat
Votes For Lorimer.

Chicago, Oct. Lee O'Nei1 Browne,
testifying before the Lorimer investi-
eating committee today gave the fol-
lowing reasons for Democratic votes
which elevated Mr.. Lorimer to the U.
9. senate.
1. It was desirable to break the
deadlock which had left public bust
ness in neglect
2. Mr.. Lorimer was considered
more Democratic in some of his views
than any other Republican.
8. The election of Mr.. Lorimer
promised to split the Republican party
of the state thus increasing the chanc-
es of Democratic success at the polls.
4. It was believed that in natural
gratitude to the men who made his
election possible Senator Lorimer
would extend to the Democrats patron
age otherwise not to be thought of by
Democrat.
(Mr. Lorimer, however, made no
promises

DARK HORSE WINS.
Bay State Democrats Engage in Rough
and Tumble. Fight.

Boston, Oct. THE Democratic state
convention broke out in a wild tumult
at the conclusion of the announcement
of an indecisive second ballot for a
nominee for governor. Delegates
swarming upon the platform.
Chairman Thayer called for the po-
lice and 20 officers succeeded with diff
ficulty in pushing all except several
ardent delegates back upon the floor of
the convention hall.
A second effort of the officers to en-
tirely clear the stage resulted in sew

and at 1925 a. m. half a dozen mixupS
were in progress with the chairman I'M

At 1890 a. m. a recess of 20 minutes
was declared by the chairman. Scarce

was at it's height and the announce
ment of a recess had little effect upon

WANTS TO Be MARTYR.
Young Chinaman Tries to Kill Uncle
of the Emperor.

San Francisco, Oct. IAN attempt
to kill Prince Tsai Hsun, uncle of the
emperor of China, as he stepped from
the overland train at Oakland mole,
half an hour before boarding the liner
Chiyo Maru for the return trip to
China, was frustrated yesterday after
noon by Chief Secret Service Operative
Harry Mof1tt and Detective Sergeant
George Mcmahon of the local police
department, when they seized and
overpoWered George Fong, a member
of the Young China association, just
as he was about to draw revolver
from his pocket with which to fire
upon the royal visitor
In his statement to secret service
men, Fong denied his action was the
result OF a conspiracy to kill the
prince. He said the organization to
which he belongs, while revolutionary
in its tendency, is in no way RESPONSE
Bile for his attempt to Stay the en-
peror's uncle. The prisoner assumed
all responsibility, declaring himself a
revolutionist and an enemy of the
present dynasty in China. Fong ex-
pressed regret that he had not accom-
pIished his purpose, saying that he
wanted to be martyr to the cause to
which he had consecrated his life, and
that he wanted to awaken his country
men. He calmly told of how he had
prepared to face 1.-The electric chair or
the gallows'' and said that he would
have considered it a great honor to
have been put to death had he accom-
plished what he set out to do.
In his statement to the authorities,
Fong, who speaks good English, said:

cause he is an enemy of my people.

this particular case is over for while.
It will will be taken up again else
where, I can assure you.
MY desire was to strike blow for
the liberty of my people, just as George
washington did for his people. I am
quite willing to be a martyr. The
Manchu dynasty has long oppressed
the millions of Chinese and I wanted
to destroyed one of its leaders.
"I did not expect to escape, and I
would willingly have sat in the cleo
trio chair or swung from the gallows.
There is no one in this affair but
myself. The Young China association
had nothing to do with it,

terrnine what charge will lie against
Fong.
