Ed and John "Mopes" Miller ap-

battery preferred against them by
George Mckarn as the result of an
assault which was committed late last

His brother admitted his guilt and
was fined 81 and costs The fight of
Saturday night was interrupted by
Officer Herkert, who arrived at the
scene of the conflict as the Millers
were whipping McKarn. Both were
on top of him. The officer took Nc
karn TO the police box and called for
the patrol. AS it came along, the Mil
lers broke and ran away, though they
were told to come along. AS the Off
Ger knew them. he decided to swear
out warrants for their arrest and get
them later. They were arrested night

The Millers stated that they mistook
Mckarn for someone else against
whom they had a grievance. John
started the battle, and Ed claimed
that he stuck in" just 10 keep his
brother from being killed. McKarn
and John Miller both showed signs of
blows by scars on their heads.

more Pattersonesque references to Tenn

received with great approval by the

The skies had cleared when Col
Roosevelt reached Jackson late in the
day, and he received an enthusiastic
welcome at the fair grounds, where he
made his speech. He said he wished
to emphasize the fact that the progress

and had no aifiation with any other

MR.. PATTERSON'S SPEECH.

The test of the quality of ex-Gov
Patterson's.opening speech would be
for his friends as we'll as his enemies
to read it as though it had been de-
livered by another-say, for instance,
perfect stranger. In no other way
could the partiality of his friends or
the bitter hatred of his enemies permit
of just estimate. If it could be so
read, we believe the fairly unanimous
verdict would be that, up to the point
where he shows his teeth to those who
have different with him in his method
of enforcing his demands and promot-
ing his own political interests, the
speech is one of the most clear. headed,
logical and statesmanlike presenta-
tons of the issues of the campaign
national and state.-those of Gov
Woodrow Wilson alone excepted, so
far made in Tennessee. He shows an
intelligent grasp of the real fundamen-
tai issues facing us and before his in
vincible logic, collection of facts and
assemblage of immutable truth demag-
ogy, falsehood and hypocriticaI cant
are dissipated as the dew before the
rising sun. Comparing the two open
ing speeches without prejudice or par
tiality and testing them by their quail
ties of thoughtfulness, research, broad
Americanism and stanch democracy,
Patterson appears beside Hooper as
Hyperion to Satyr. All that need be
asked TO establish the truth of what
we say is that men who are capable of
forming just estimate and who are
honest and open-mInded enough to be
willing to judge fairly read the two
speeches.
Whatever may be the attitude of the
public toward Malcolm r. Patterson's
candidacy in this emergency, there
can be no other honest conclusion than
that he is man of brains, of courage
and one who could hold kis own in
any forum.
Our quarrel with Mr.. Patterson has
been that he has not shown himself
ready TO recognize the conditions that
faces his party-his enemies, and they
are numerous, are not willing to carry
their fight like mem before the peo-
pie and appear TO be willing to betray
their party 10 punish him. We have
