FREEDOM FROM M|sRULE
Senator CuIberSon Declares
That Democracy Can Bring
DeIiverance to Nation
(Ry Associated Press


AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. &.-Declaring that
''the country now looks for complete de-
Iiverance from Republican misrule and
misgovernment." United States Senator
Charles A. Culberson today addressed the
Texas legislature on the opportunities of
the Democratic party. The speech fol-
lowed Senator Culberson's reelection for
his third term as United States sena-
tor.
In the November election, he said, the
Democratic party won a victory because
sit stood for basic and structural phil
osophies of government, because it rep
resented progress in such affairs and
insisted upon the people taking a larger
and more direct share in public affairs"
Sin that contest" he added, new ma
tionalism was strangled The principle
which this dogma involves, to merge the
legislative, executive and judicial as
well as the whole reserved power of the
people, into a supreme executive who
should be steward Of the general well
fare. unrestrained by positive law, has
been the argument and dream Of every
tyrant since the world began
WANTS DIRECT ELECTIONS.
Senator Culberson advocated direct
election of United States senators.
1.-THE future of the party he said,
in closing, lis pregnant with high hopes
and just and reasonable expectations
The house Of representatives is ours,
the presidency is within our grasp, and
the senate itself, which for nearly half
a century has been the refuge and the
fortress of the tariff barons and money
changers, trenbles in the balance"

NASHVILLE. Tenn. jan 24.-Unit-
ed States senator at 80.
Such an honor comes TO but few men,
yet that's just what happened to Luke
Lea at Nashville Monday. when the 57th
general assembly Of Tennessee met TO
take its 11th joint ballot to determine
who should succeed Senator James B.
Frazier. formerly governor of Tennes-
see. and up until few short days ago
a formidable candidate to succeed HIM
self.
Luke Lea's name had never been al
lowed to go before the legislature, al
though as q matter of fact mis- name
was on every tongue and there were
those who said When you hear mem
Der Of the legislature get up and nomi-
nate Lea, then it's all Off" Two weeks
ago one would have been laughed at
for contending that Lea would be the
next senator. Even as late as last Fri
day 1t is contended by those who are
supposed to be ION the inside that had
Lea allowed his name TO go before the
legislature he would have been de-
feated.
1t seems that Monday was the day,
and that Mr.. Lea struck the psych olog-
zeal moment. But then Luke Lea has
been striking the psychological moment
in his brief career. He hit IL in the
state convention to nominate a candidate
for governor in 1906, when he took the
gavel away from the chairman OF the
convention and refused to yield 1t until
his friend. NJ r. Patterson. had been
declared the nominee for governor or
Tennessee
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
But things have changed since then.
Luke Lea from being an ardent admirer
Of Ham" Patterson and his strong sup
porter, has become Patterson's political
enemy. Lea has fought Patterson with
his paper The Tennessean, and after It's
acquiring the American and its publi-
cation as The Tennessean and Ameri-
can, has continued to fight Patterson.
He and his paper fought Governor Pat
terson when he was q candidate for re-
election against Carmack. II was Lea
who made speeches against the "regu-
lar judicial ticket in the recent cam
paign OF August, and aided in every
way with his paper the cause OF the
free and untrammeled judiciary" which
Patterson opposed.
Luke Lea is the young man who made
Ham Patterson governor when the
friends of John /. Cox would have Ia
ken the convention. and II has been

way and blocked him In his political
ambitions. He is a bright young rel
