Anarchy That Must be Suppressed
By the State.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 25-Benjamir
| H. Hooper, who headed the republican
ticket in this. state last November
but drew the support of thousands
OF voters of various political aftilia-
tions, was inaugurated governor OF
Tennessee too ay.
Governor Hooper's inaugural ad-
dress opened with plea for the
cessation of political strife in Ten
nessee.
q don't seek a political arcadia
civic millcuim," he declared, but
l do beg OF the people of the state
and their legislative representatives
that we advocate and practice the set
tlement of our political differences
within legal ard constitutional limita
tons"
The inauguration took place in the
Ryman auditorium, instead of at the
capitol in order that the thousands OF
citizens who came to Nashville to wit
ness the exercises might gasn ad-
nittdEce.
Members of the state senate, the
house of representatives the supreme
court and the inaugural committee oc-
cupid seats on the stage.
A short farewell address was made
by the retiring governor, NJ r. Patter-
son, when the oath of Office was ad-
ministered to Governor Hooper by
Chief Justice j. X. Shields.
In referring to the public school sys-

with the conservation of the minds O.

ment in the states agricultural depart
ment, which he said, should not be
made a rest cure sanitarium for dow
and out politicians and urged that ev,
cry hand in the service of the state

In conclusion, he took up the ques
ton of prohibition, saying:
"The isolated oGfense of an occa-
sional bootlegger is small matter
but the open, public and mhindered
sale Of Whiskey in the saloons of our
cities, in violation of law, is organized
anarchy, and cannot be tolerated by the
self-rospecting citizenship of It soyer-
cign state.

tured in the North and West, that are
used by these Southern industries, any
