BROWN HITS AGAIN
AT REGULAR LEADER
u OF LEWIS COUNTY
STILL UNABLE TO SEE DIFFER.
ENcE BETWEEN VOTERS FOR
Is. LOOT OF TREASURY.
TURNER in THE SAME BOAT
Doctor-Senator Declares the "Hohen.
wald" Agreement 10 Dead Letter.
Merry Row Between the Patterson
Partisans.

The merry war between regular"
champions, Senator T. Bledsoe
Brown, of this county, and the editor
of the Hohenwald Herald, the legu-
lar organ of Lewis county, continues.
Senator Brown insists that if he did
wrong to vote for loot" of the
treasury Senator Turner, candidate
for congress, should also be made to
suffer for the same sin. The follow
ing is the latest contribution of the
Doctor-Senator to the gaiety of the
nations in the form of a letter to
the Hohenwald Herald:
Everybody knows it is distinctly
without difference that you draw
between me and Senator Turner.
Surely if he voted to loot" the treas
ury for my benefit he is as guilty as
I.
Did you ever hear him say he is
sorry he did it
He voted for Tom Taylor, just as
| did, after Del ong Rice had appear
ed before a democratic caucus and
declared his inability to be elected,
thanked us for our support and ad-
vised us to find man and win with
him. You know, or should know,
just how this was, yet you abuse me
for 1t and pass it. over Mr.. Turner.
Do you expect to fool anybody with
such glaring inconsistency? Why
don't you act the part of democrat
and say you are for Turner because
he is the democratic nominee?
That's why i am for him, otherwise
i would be for his opponent, regard
less Of our partnership in the loot"
+ Now, Mr.. Editor, you question me
as ito the "Hohenwald agreement"
said in my other letter that
Enew very little about it. My first
recollection of the mention of it was
several years ago, when The Column
bia Herald made a great hight
against it, while discussing the
Webb-Greenlaw contest. did not
know politics then, but l got the inn
preston that the "Hohenwald agree
mt" was to all intents and purpos-
es annihilated at that time, and that
some of those who had to do with its
formation had also to do with its de-
struction don't remember hearing
any more about it until within the
last two months. 1t certainly was
not mentioned in the convention in
which was nominated or at any
time during my candidacy. Since
the question has been raised l have
made inquiries of those who should
know and they tell me it has been
imperative since that time.
Taking all things into considera-
ton | can't see that it is necessary to
resurrect and make it an issue at
this time.
However, this is a question for the
convention and | am sure Maury
county will do the honorable thing
as will also Perry. Maury and Perry
offered TO settle this thing in pri-
mary. l was in favor of a primary.
Nobody has any desire so far as I
can learn to treat Lewis county un-
fairly The convention will in all
probability make that clear regard
les of your attempt to create a differ.
ent impression.
In conclusion let me say l am ac-
customed to criticism from men Of
your political faith. Keep it up If it
rays you well. II you need any help,
I am sure the editor Of The Columbia
Herald, the Hooper paper in this part
of the country, will be glad to ex-
change courtesies with you. He
quotes freely from your editorials,
why not quote from him? He is q
very smart man, and very seduc-
tive writer.
Whatever you do will neither run
me nor anybody else out of the DEM
ccratic party.
