Can any correspondent tell me and
tell me truthfully where is our state
legislative coalition and when will
they return? Are they still out on
that old ship of state and is it still
leaking and dipping water? | am now
as a republican to wonder
what we, as republicans of Tennessee.
can do to save the old Republican ship
of state from sinking2 Can we ever
overcome the action of some of our so
called leaders and save the republican
party once more, and carry the great
state of Tennessee in 1927 What can
be done or said to harmonic the two
big bulwarks that have sprung up and
have caused the two great white ele
plants to leap up that brings about
The two divisions? How can we tell
Just now whether we are a democrat
Or a republican? What have we in
'front.' of us to he guided by? Who
shall we choose to be our leaders,
Please tell me what faction to hook on
10? l have little unfinished political
business on hand | want to wind up,
and a little political hash | want to
lice, and don't know just what table
% put it on. l need some little in
truction along this line just now. 1t
ooks to me the way the hammer is
the old ship of state is en-
Jirely without representation, is now
lropped off into ancient days. If you
remember when this county was with
out representation, we were ruled
1y great king of other countries 9th
II than our own. When the time
zones that our own great state drops
IF into factionalism and politics and
prejudice and almost commits the of
nee of treason against the state gov
and seceeds and runs away
rom state, drops the state and her
BUSINESS entirely out of the union, and
caves it entirely blank without repre-
entation, and blocks every branch of |
very capacity of public institutions
rom the highest to the lowest grade |
f state public administration, and cut
ut both branches of the law making
over of the state, and leave her blank |
S piece of paper hung on the wall as
'ennessee at present is without repre-
entation, and the only state of the I'M
on that is without any law making
over of their own, why not apply to |
9deral government of the UnitedStates
nd admit this Territory of Tennes-
ee into the great union of the Uni
ed States, and put a star on her?

close to see you next week and by
