Recognizing in Woodrow Wilson an

we, therefore, the Democrats of Put
nam county, Tennessee, heartily en-
dorse his candidacy for president, and
also endorse the candidacy of the Hon.
Thos. R. Marshall, Democratic candi-
date for vice president, and believe
that they will receive the full

banner to the front and rush over the
Republican battlement and on to a
sweeping victory in November We al
so recommend the hearty endorse
ment of the Hon. Cordell Hull for rep
resentative in the lower house of the
neXtx congress of the United States,
and all other Democratic candidates
for any and al offices, and pledge

We, the democracy Of Putnam cOun-
ty, in mass convention assembled, look

tration of the Hon. Hailum w. Good

having the utmost confidence in his

IdCf VI GubIldill COuIby, III IIldoC COll-

We most heartily recommend to the

bled, and recognize in the Hon. Ben
ton McMillin an honest and faithful,
and efficient standard bearer of demOc-
racy of the state, and believe we have
found in him candidate that is able
to lead the hosts of democracy on to
voctOry in the battle in this state in
1912, and having no doubt
that he will completely dem0lish the |
republican forces and gain complete |
victory, and forever end the republ |
