in three counties, Henderson, Deca-
tur and Crockett, the administration

inevitable fight had been avoided.

and congressional conventions.
These were Dickson, Hickman and

of any of the temperance laws.
In the third senatorial district, COM

the last legislature between these
two, and as part of the compromise
which was entered into between the
two houses Davis was seated.

Hon. L. P Padgett, our present con-

at hand that he would not be able to
properly present his claims for re-
election to his constituency, being
now and for some time in the future

Stick to the Issue

The Daily News has declared on
more than one occasion during the
present campaign that there Is too
much bitterness in the personal at
tacks made upon one another by rep
resentatives OF the various parties.
But IL would be unjust for political
supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt to repre-
sent themselves or their candidates
as in this respect more sinned against
than SHINING.
Any unbiased view OF the precon-
yention campaign, when the incensed
president OF the United States took
the stump to reply to stinging accusa-
administration Of the national gov
from the resultant clanor, any glance
In retrospect at the incidents that
have caused charges and counter
changes to reverberate through the
land since the national conventions
were held, viii show beyond question
that the vituperation has come at
least as abundantly from Mr.. Roose-
velt's party as from any other.
The people Of the United States,
putting aside prejudice and passion
and dealing with the facts out OF
which has come the present situation

Issues raised by the various party
platforms and the declarations Of the
various candidates, must decide as

who is best fitted to be the chief ex-
ecutive Of this nation during the COM

Richly Deserved Reward

None can begrudge the farmers OF
bountiful crops OF this year. They
comes TO them.
However much OF the profits of
many other lines of production may
be due to unfair manipulation, the
farmer creates his values through his
toll, and in creating them enriches
all.
The prosperous, middle-aged farmer
of today, facing his declining years
In comfort and plenty, may be envied
by the wage-workers Of the cities.
But let us not forget that the now
prosperous farmer has bought his
present condition at cost OF ceaseless
toll and tireless energy, OF almost In
conceivable self-denial and sacrifice,
of disappointments and discourage
ments that only the fittest could sur
vive.
II any life in this country has been
harder than that OF the farmer II is
that OF HIS wife. She, generally with
out help and with little to do with,
cooks the meals, does the family
washing and the sewing, milks the
cows, raises the chickens, makes the
soap and apple butter and bakes the
bread and pies, brings up a generous
brood OF healthy children, and often
! finds time In the harvest Seasons TO
help her husband In the fields.
The lives OF these men and women
have been the most extraordinary and
most fruitful In all history. II II the
farmers that have converted our vast
domain from a wilderness into rich
fields and made possible the flourish

While their horizon was still bound.
ed by the clearing his Ak had made,
the prophetic pioneer farmer and his
wife boldly dreamed OF continental
conquest. Their vision saw beyond
the dank swamp. the bleak desert and
the dark forest to the lofty buildings
and the jostling multitudes Of mighty
cities-beyond the rank. grass-clad
prairies to the seas OF golden grain
beyond the harsh life of the log hut
and the sod house to the cozy homes
of their children, where should be COM

Richly have they earned all the
good that comes to them. For they

Even II the impossible could hars

ardent champions believe. his election
would be little toward translating
