JUDGE BULLOCK.

more 10 DO with winning a victory
Tor the people as against the ele-
ments Of force aud disorder than
Judge Ernest j.. Bullock of Jack
son, who was one of the first to en-
ter aggressively into the conflict in
1908, and who was one of the last
to leave the field of battle.
In the latter part of 1908, when
the best judgement was needed in
the approaching fight against Pat
tersoh's designs and purposes to
to control the General Assembly in
behalf OF the liquor interests and
to perpetuate himself in power.
Judge Bullock took the leadership
in the great fight against the usur-
patory methods and plans of the
Patterson machine. He didn't
come with the waving of banners
aud blast of trnmpets, but with that
dignity of bearing and quiet and
unobstrnctive demeanor which for
ever have characterized his career
through life, he went to work
metbodlcally and system ati calIy to
chrystalize and vitalize the force Of
public sentiment aud to make it ef-
fective in overthrowing Patterson
ism.
The triumphs which followed
each other in rapid succession in
the Fifty Sixth General Assembly
we may rightfully attribute to his
splendid powers of organization.
his skill, his untiring devotion to
the cause he espoused and the
strength and force of his character.
That he was given due credit for
the part,he played by his enemies
is conclusive from the fact that they
moved Heaven and earth to defeat
him for Chancellor. All the DOW
ers of the administration were con
centrated on his district to humil
late him by defeat. This was done
by Patterson's so called Democrat
ic administration in face of the
fact that Judge Bullock was the
regular Democratic nominee, but
the people of his district stood by
him and made his election one of
the conspicuous triumphs of his
: life.
Judge Bullock's enemies chose

Bullock again came to Nashville
: and again devoted ali tie powers at
his command to win another VIC
tory in the election of United
! States Senator, and it.must be ad-
mitted that his watchfulness, his
foresight and good Judgement and
invaluable counsel contributed as
,much toward this signal victory az
y any other directing and controlling
factor.
: The people of Tennessee owe
much tod udge Bullock for his pa
triotic, unselfsh devotion to their
interest. His friends owe him a
debt of gratitude which can be paid
: only by increased loyalty on their
part, and in the accounting we con-
y fidently hope and believe this
4 brave and gallant man Of this
= great State will reap the reward he
5' so highly deserves, for he is wise
in council, brave in peril, constant
in the hour of need, and withal a
generous and unselfsh friend.

Some years ago in Southern
State, small boy had some in a
basket and he was trying to per-
suade man to purchase one of
them.
"Wouldn't you like to buy a
puppy, sir?"
"Whatarey yourpuppies, my boy"
the man questioned, sara they Re-
publicans or are they Democrats?"
"They are Republicans" the boy
answered quickly and with convic-
ton.
Much pleased the gentleman
bought one of them. Two weeks
later the boy met the same man
and tried to sell him another pup
py.
"Well," asked the man, "what
kind of puppies have you today.
He glanced into the basket aud
saw that they we're from the same
lot as that of his recent purchase.
"Democrats," the little fellow re-
sponded promptly.
"Ah," the man exclaimed, "but
two weeks ago,I had one from the
same family and you said they were
Republican puppies. How do you
account for that?"
""Oli! Well lister, you see they
have their eyes open now"
