live town here; il makes me feel
ashamed of Houston. l can see how il
men are here"
Then he explained how he could tell
that Ell Paso was on the jump.
You see, l walk on the sidewalks and
I know you have good ones 1 cross
the streets and find them well paved.

pedestrians, note from the manner Of
their speech what a live city this is.
tell you, you have some big buildings
here, and 1 hear the work of cOnstruc-

The Davis women, Mrs. Davis and

living in adultery with whom he is
now under indictment and bond to the
circuit court here, swore on the stand
that Ohio Slaydon, on the night of
the robbery, brought the stolen goods

Patterson Pardon Record.

He discussed the pardon record of
Gov. Patterson and showed that 1,1O2
convicts have been pardoIied during
the three and ahalf years Patterson
has been governor. He compared
these figures with those Of other
states and showed that, on basis of
population, there have been twenty
five times as many pardons issued in
Tennessee as elsewhere in the coun-
try. He said that pardon industry
has been established and that applica-
lions for pardons are successful made
only by men who belong to the ma
chine.
In discussing the election law which
was passed over Patterson's veto, he
said that this law passed by the votes
of both Democrats and Republicans,
made it impossible for the governor
to, make good his threat against the
judges of the higher courts.
