candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. Carmack advocated prohibi-
ton, Patterson opposed it.
Aided by the regulars Patterson won
the nomination, and was elected.
Carmack then became chief editorial
writer for the Nashville Tennesseean,
Senator Luke LEAFS paper, and the cas-
legations he gave the regulars were
scorching ones. Tennesseeans proud
ly claim that Henry Watterson at his
best could never equal in pointedness
the shafts of the Carmack of those
days.
Carmack's special target was Dun
can B. Cooper. Accused of various
crimes and misdemeanors, and as a
last straw denominated "bald-headed
angel" Cooper sent Carmack word
that further editorial reference would
end in death Carmack responded with
a more caustic editorial than ever, and
then the two met on the street.
Accounts of the tragedy have it that
Cooper and his son Robin exchanged
several shots with Carmack, who was
not last to draw by any means. Car
mack was shot through the heart and
the spine; Robin Cooper was slightly
wounded
| A trial attended with intense excite
ment followed. The Coopers were con-
victed, the father being given a life
I sentence and the son 20 years. The
supreme court sustained the verdict
/ against the father, and reversed that
/ against the son.
/ Governor Patterson had been declar
ing he would pardon Cooper if con.
victed, and he made good. Cooper
was promptly released.
The killing of Carmack loosed a
storm, and a statewide prohibition
law was passed by the legislature as
result of the sentiment. The law
1 however, has never been consistently
enforced in the larger cities like Mem
phis and Nashville. Liquor is sold
openly seven days a week and the
cities, of course, get no license taxes
The nonenforcement of the law has
aroused much bitter feeling among the
"drys."
In 1910 the republicans nominated
Ben w. Hooper for governor. Patter
