Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1912-11-01

date for senator, loater and direct
representative in this county.
Here we ask you again to think
carefully over the situation before
you cast your vote. The demo-
cratic party has regularly nomi-
mated candidates for senator and
f1oater, and they are men OF UNI
questioned character and ability.
Their only crime thus far pub
lished is that they will vote for all
regularly nominated democratic
candidates for offices in the gift
of the legislature.
Can you vote for a man who
says he will not vote for the party's
nominees and yet call yourself a
democrat!
DO you want your members ia
the next legislature to do'the bid
ding of Newell Sanders and Ben
Hooper, Suppose the republicans
and fusionists wanted to re-elect
Sanders to the United States SEN
ate9 Would you want your rep
resentative to desert the democrats
and vote for Sandersl Suppose
Hooper wanted to cut off all con-
federate pensions land he once OPP
posed giving them anything). Do
you want your representatives so
bound to Sanders and Hooper that
they would have to vote for such q
bill9 Suppose Sanders and Hooper
wanted to make Tennessee a re-
publican sta4e forever and even by
the passage of an election law that
would make such a thing certainl
Would you want your representa-
tives bound to them so strong that
they would have to assist in such
Workl
In our opinion Mckinney, who
asks to be senator, and Mr.. Will
hanson, who asks to be foater, are
such men. They used to be dem
ocrats and there is some democracy
in them now, but it is but natural
that they would stand by the re-
publican governor and republican
senator, who gave them office. These
men have not been nominated by
any character Of party or organiza-
ton. They announce independ-
emily, refused to enter any char
acter OF a contest for the Office and
boldly declare that they are as
much republican nominees as they
are democratic. They openly adj
nit that they are not only against
the state democratic platform, but
are also against McAlillin for gov
ernor. They know that if they
are elected it will be by republic
can votes and they also know that
all these republican votes wilIco
from that faction who will on next
Tuesday vote her straight" for
Taft, Sanders and the whole lot,
! down to Argo for representative.
The paradoxicaI proposition of
being a democrat and a republican
at the same time surely can't in
terest democrats.
Joe Mccall and John Heron
have been democrats all their lives.
They are good citizens, Of clean
| characters and spotless records.
They are accredited nominees of
their party, both having been nom
mated in the regular way. They
stand for good government in every
particular, but they are not willing
, to vote for republicans and stand
| for fusion in the next legislature.
They are for Wilson, McMillin
and for each other.
They know that Hooper can't
enforce the prohibition laws in the
cities until the people there want
the law enforced SO they are OPP
posed to the governors pet plan
of removing the officers elected by
the people in those cities.
Suppose Mr.. En- e does tell
you to keep up tb ht9 Don't
you know that nn.oe is a dam
gerous characters Don't you
remember when Mr.. Sims de-
feated Mr.. Enloe for the demo-
cratic nomination for congress that
there was something said about re-
publican money in connection with
this great moral uplifter." That
kind of a man has no right to even
counsel with you on the subject Of
suffrage.
Luke Lea knows that neither
the independent or regular demo-
Gratis would ever vote for him in a
democratic primary, so of course
he can't afford to come back into
the party and be a real democrat.
jeff McCarn never was a demo-
crat. He is real prohibitionist
out of job and the democratic
