VIOLATING PLEDGES.

So accustomed are the advocates
Of the Patterson party to violated
pledges and betrayed trusts that
there has not been a single word or
line in criticism of the failure OF the
Patterson majority in the Legislature
TO redeem the platform pledge to re-
store the election machinery to the
people of the several counties. The
October convention declared against
the present law and for a system that
would restore the power to the peo-
pie. In spite of this pledge not a
Pattersonite in either House has Of.
fered a bill to carry the platform into
effect. On the contrary the existing
law has been approved and an effort
made to transfer power there urder,
not to the people as called for In the
platform but to the machine bosses.
The average Patterson leader pays
no attention whatever to platform
pledges. He Is merely machine
creature and that is the reason why
he cannot understand the indignation
OF the Democrats of the State at
the gross betrayal of trust by Leach
and Swami and the three Republi.
cans. They voted in the teeth of
their platform. They repudiated
their anti-election promises. The
Pattersonites all did the same thing
but no one expected anything else
from them hence the incident caused
no notice. whatever. This lack of faith
In the word of the Pattersonites Is
one of the reason why an amicable
adjustment of party strife will be so
lifficult.

DIeRELL's POSITION.

The inherent weakness of Dibrelps
position ia his failure to ask the at
torney general of the State for legal
advice. The people have an Official
whose duty 1t ia to advise the var
ious departments OF the State upon
important legal questions. In the
past Comptroller Dibrell has frequent
ly called upon the Attorney General
for opinions. In fact the files of the
Attorney Generals Office will show
that the Comptroller has called upon
him more frequently for advice than
any other official In the State And
Dibrell has never intimated that he
did not believe the Attorney General
fully competent to advise him and he
has almost uniformly acted upon his
advice
These facts cast new light upon
the present tangled situation when
the Comptroller is using or abusing
the powers of his office in a desper-
ate effort to revive broken, discred-
tied and disgraced machine. They
prove how utterly untenable is the
position of Mr.. Dibrell. He Is refus-
ing to make payment to the State
institution and seeking to cripple
them, not as legal proposition, but
to aid his disreputable political as
sociates. II he simply desired to fol
low the law regardless of the conse-
quences he would call upon the
States regular counsel for legal ad-
vice. Evidently he is unwilling to
risk an opinion from the Attorney
General, not because he fears that
official would give MIN unsound legal
advice but because he Is fearful less
the opinion shold be less that OF a
partisan and more that of a lawyer
than he is looking for.
Attorney General Gates Ia one of
the ablest lawyers in Tennessee. In
fact there is probably not an ADLER
lawyer in the State. And his ability
has been demonstrated In the high
est courts in the land. He has rend-
cred hundreds of opinions to State
officials during his nine years of
service and practically every one of
them have been sustained by the
highest courts. He is the legal, the
natural adviser of the Comptroller.

WOODROW WILSON.

No Governor in the Union hal
achieved such remarkable RECORD
for carrying into effect platform
pledges as Gov. Wilson of New Jer
sey. The Legislature of that State
recently adjourned after having pass
ed every act of Importance recon-
mended by the Governor or advocated
in his campaign. This is nose graft
tying and has given the advocates
and admirers of the New Jersey
executive additional confidence in
his ability to win the Democratic
nomination for President next year.
There is no doubt that Wilson is
the ideal candidacy for the national
democracy. Without being a demag-
ogue he is a Democrat in the highest
and best acceptation of the term.
He has a record for performance
that will inspire credit all over the
country in his name. He is alto
gether the most notable figure in the
official life of America today.
If the Democrats do not do as Gen.
Grant said they were accustomed to
do when the opportunity for achieve
ment came, not the fool. Gov.
Wilson will be the unanimous nomi-
nee for President in 1912 upon a plat
form that he will write and victory
will be as certain as the election.
Fortunate indeed is the party that it
has a candidate of the integrity, the
splendid ability, the achievements
and the high conception of public
duty which Woodrow Wilson posses
ses. He is the finest example of the
scholar in politics that the history
of this country affords.
Without buster but in order and
decently he has gone about the work
of bringing reform and honor to the
trust ridden, boss owned State OF
New Jersey and he has succeeded
where a less courageous, less determ-
med and less capably endowed lead
er would have failed. He has proven
his faith in the people without in
sulting their intelligence by demag-
ogic tributes to virtues that he knows
do not exist. The people of the
United States are anxious to give
Wilson the opportunity as President
which he has had as Governor Of
New Jersey and If the Democratic
party does not give them the orpor-
tunity it should disband and go out
Of business.

WILL NOT ATitN SESSION
Regulars in Nashville Say That an At
tempt to Force Quorum is Improb-

Out of State.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 1.-THE
fugitive legislators that have sojourn-
ed in Birmingham have decided to dis
band and return to their homes in
Tennessee. They will not voluntari-
ly attend sessions of the legislature,
and it is not believed an attempt will
be made to force attendance of alb
sentees. Regulars said this morning
that any attempt to force attendance
of absentees is improbable.
Some of the legislators in Alabama
may remain longer out of the State,
but the greater number will return to-
night.

LET THE PEOPLE ELECT.

At least one proposition advanced
% basis for an amicable adjust
nent of fractional difference In Ten
nessee is worthy of the most serious
and favorable consideration. That Is
the proposition to elect the county
Boards of elections by the people
Upon that proposition The Herald is
willing to join in an appeal for ces.
sation of hostilities. There Ia no
reason why the people should not
control their local election boards,
the most important wheel in the
machinery Of government. On the
contrary Their is every reason why
these boards should be chosen by
direct vote and not by a central ma
chine dictated by a political Clique
ct Nashville.
The power to control elections
should never have been taken from the
people. The troubles and factional
difficulties in the Democratic rarity
In Tennessee commenced when the
Legislature took from the elected Off
Gals of the several counties the con-
troll of the election machinery and
vested it in "A machine at Nashville.
That was the beginning of the strife.
6inse then the control of the cleo
ton machinery has been the goal
which all parties and all factions
sought, when as a matter Of fact it
should be immaterial, so far as the
result of an election is concerned, who
controls the appointment of the Off
GERS to hold It.
In order to guarantee genuine re-
presentation to the Republican or
minority party, whether 1t be Demo
cratic or Republican, no elector should
be allowed to vote for more than two
commissioners. And the law should
further provide that not more than
two members of the county commits
sion should profess allegiance to the
same political party. This law would
give the Democratic party two mem
bers of the commission in Democra-
tic counties and the Republicans two
members in Republican counties,
and that is as 1t should be.
1t may be argued that law pat
termed after this would give an ad-
vantage to the Republican party,for
in nearly half the counties Of the
State that party would control the
election machinery. But that ls not
. reasonable objection. II a major
fly of the people of a county desire
Republican officials no one should
say them nay. And any law which
attempts to substitute force and
fraud for the will of the people fair
ly expressed at the ballot box Is sub
versive OF free government and des-
tructive Of our institutions. The
closer we place the election machin-
cry to the people the fairer the cleo
lions will be and the freer from
frauds will our ballot boxes be.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1911-05-12

If the regulars" so-called had fol
lowed their platform and made an
honest effort at the first part of the
session to restore the election machin-
cry to the people the State would
never have experienced the demorali-
cation that present conditions have
brought about.

ed. Let the pension roll OF Tennes-
see remain what it is now and has
been ever since 1t was established,
a roll Of honor. It should never be
made a football for designing politi-
clans.
