THE cox BILL.
Nashville Banner.l

Nashville Banner.
There 10 no manner of necessity
shat the present election law be in
any respect changed. 1t is direct,
feasible, simple and entirely fair.
Under it there may be equal rep
resentation on State and county
election boards for the parties now
represented in Tennessee politics,
and the officers and watchers at the
polling places may be in the same
manner divided.
An effort to change an obviously
fair and etficacious law arouses
necessarily the suspicion of play
for factional advantage.
The pending bill that the. So
called Regulars with their Repub-
lican allies and their Independent
proselytes tried by very questiona-
BILE means to force on the State.
bears plain, intrinsic evidence that
it is mere political device cum
ningly framed to- give complete
control of the State election ma.
chinery to the so-called Regulars
and the Republican coterie with
which they for a certain reason
affiliate to the entire exclusion of
Independents and the bulk of the
Republicans who follow Governor
Hooper.
This bill seeks to juggle withthe
names of the two national parties
in order to frame an election law
and organize an election commits
sion that will deliver the election
machinery of the State entirely ia
to the hands of a special interest.
That fact is transparent to all who
will take the pains to give that bill
even superficial consideration. It
is not necessary that a man be an
absolute, Incorporating prohibi-
ZIONIST, Republican or Independ-
emit, to know that such a law, which
would be lasting, would be wrong
and full of vicious potentialities,
A compromise measure from a.
regular" source, which may or
may not have been sincerely pro-
posed, is the bill introduced into
the Senate by Mr.. Cox. The m cas-
ure has some prima facie evidence
of plausibility, but it, too, is sug-
gestive of the play OF politics and
would in no wise improve on the
present law that needs no change
to insure honest elections.
The Cox bill provides that the
County Election Commissioners
be elected by the people of each
county. That has primarily the
appearance Of fairness on Demo-
cratic principles, but it doesn't
bear close analysis and leaves many
gaps and avenues for political
sharp practice.
In the first place the Cox bill
provides for the initial election of
County Commissioners under the
supervision of a special board in
stead of the existing county boards,
and that is in itself suspicious.
The manipulation Of the first cleo
ton OF County Commissioners un-
der this law might build an i'm
nyegnable machine that SENATOR
Cox and his associates. could us

In asking the big, brainy and
brilliant editor of the Citizen, the
Hon. Stephen Austin Clement, to
answer few direct questions con-
corning the payment of legislators,
we sought an explanation of some
incongruities by appealing to his
wisdom and deep learning, and in
his lengthy reply he says he is led
"to believe that we are on the anx-
ious seat" Right you are, neigh
Dor; we're still on the anxious seat
anxious to know if you can or
will answer the questions without
trying to beat the devil around the
stump.

for various purposes not conducive
to desired results and not in accord
with the wishes of the best element
OF Tennessee citizenship.
Unless the election of County
Commissioners was uniformly hon.
est and fair throughout the whole
State, the entire plan would be
vitiated. 1t may sound we'll enough
to urge local option in such mat
ter, to say that the people of each
county should choose their own
election officers, but if the elections
were manipulated in the large cit
les and populous cenIers of the
State, the vote of the entire State
in general elections would be af-
fected.
Under the law fair and trust,
worthy Election Commissioners
representing all parties and fac
tons might be chosen in number
of'small counties, but what would
that avail in any election of gen.
eral character If there were corrupt
practices in Davidson, Hamilton,
Shelby and Knox? This would
apply to Presidential, Congress,
sional, gubernatorial, judicial and
even legislative elections where
there was more than one county in
a Legislative district.
There must of necessity be uni
formity in State election law,
and guarantee Of fairness in all
localities. 70 this end it is better
and more in accord with the evil.
dent requirements of tho case that
the law be under general than I'M.
der local control.
If there be any choice of Elec-
ton Commissioners by popular
vote, the three State Commission
ers should be so chosen. That
would be uniform and probably
preferable to the present plan of
electing these, commissioners by
the Legislature. But too many
elections constitute an evil. They
keep the public in turmoil of po-
litical excitement and afford the
class of professional politicians
who manipulate elections means
of continuous questionable en-
ployment, while the working men
and business men are too busy to
give such matters attention.
The present election law is q
proper one. There is no need for
it's alteration or amendment, and
the Cox bill smacks of politics,
both personal and RATIONAL. There
is no good reason, why it should be
passed.
Besides all this, the enactment
