Temperance Plank.


The democratic party has always
been the upholder of law and order,
both in the nation and in the state,
and it denounces she Hypocrisy of the
republican party which for nearley
half centuary, has been in league
with the lawless element of the country
favoring monopoly, against the wei
fare Of the peoples fostering trusts, in
conspiracy with the whislley power
wherever it is strongest in The north
and seemingly opposed TO it wherever
it can hope TO create diseord and diyis.
ion in the south and thereby reap po-
iitieal reward.
The record made by the democratic
party in Tennessee on the liquor cues
ton is,one to which it may refer with
just pride.
As "A party Of true Temperance aud
actuaed by a sincere desire to lessen
the evil of The liquor traffic, il started
with the original four-Bile law and
gradually extended it to embrace all
all towns and cities of the state which
wishes to take advantage Of its proyi-
sions, leaving the question 10 the peo-
pie of the community themselves,
We now reafirm and indorse the
four-miIe law with its eXtencion to all
towns and cities of the state which as
ked its application tothem as being the
best and wisest temperance pclIcy ever
inaugurated in any state for the prohi-
bition Of the sale of liquor.
We pledge ourselves to the retention
of the four-mile law, and are unaIier-
ably opposed to its repeal. When its
spirit was violated and the fouEmile
law was sXtended TO the cities of Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and Memphis with
out their concent, the result has been
All alarming increase of lawfulness apd
intemperanc, bringing into deSpute not
only The four,Inile law, but other laws
and accustoming the citizen h law Eio-
lations.
Recognizing that these depIorale
should be corrected We favor
lie rassh Reati on Of said law as affecting
the locaI&es named, but in no other
place or particular and we further
pledge ourselves that a modification Of
!ae law as to those cities shall be &C
companied by laws of strict regulation
segregation and control, with high H.
cense and forfeiture of license for viola
ton of legal requirements.
We also favor a modification of the
manufacturers bill under such terms
and conditions as will limit the NUM-
Der and efIeetuaIly prevent distiilers
from retailing their products in any
county or community where the sale Of
liquor is prohibited by law

WILSON AS A MIXER

Woodrow Wilson may be peda'
geese, he Macy DO by avosapisn
sSA'sSl SsaSksf, he nsay kawa bshA 4
president d staid and well-pegulated
university, but at the same time he is
good mixer. He mixed with his
boys at school. All who have come in
contact with him appreciate his quail
ties as good fellow.
He is modest. He does not court
publicity, but he is a man, and when
this is said all is said that is necessary.
During the early part of the week he
entered, unnoticed, into New York.
Sitting astraddle OF stool at the sta
ton lunch counter, he had his coffee
and eggs for breakfast. After that,
taking an ordinary taxicab, he visited
an artist who is to make painting Of
the coming president, copies OF which
will be used during the campaign.
After lending his face for two hours
for the charcoal etching, he went TO
the Wilson building, in which demo-
cratic headquarters are located. 1t
was the usual routine there, just plain
political business, which seemed to
weary the governor. Calling his
brother, he slipped away to one of
New York's most Summertime the
aters, and this expression means much
in the city without a lid. Quietly he
enjoyed the entertainment before his
presence was discovered, and when the
chorus joined in song of congratula-
ton he attempted to conceal his en-
barrassment, but after the perform
ance he went on the stage and shook
hands with the players.
He is stickler for discipline and
good conduct, but he likes TO mix up
little in an unoffsnding way. He is
not above taking cocktail before din
ner or a toddy afterward. He approves
OF the theaters and is regular patron.
He enjoys life, but is extremely relig-
ious and regular church attendants.
His views Of life are not puritanical
He is not an extremist. He is strongly
opposed to gaming of any type or char
acter. He is opposed to the open sa-
looms, but he believes that every city
should make its own laws in this re-
speet. He is for local option pure and
simple. He is for strict enforcement
of the laws. He sees no harm in honest
sports and is q strong advocate OF the
drama.
Some of his ablest papers have been
written Of the stage, of plays and Of the
drama in general.
He likes good fellows and likes TO
NIX with them. He is no prude and
those who know him best will tell Of
things that Prof. Wilson has done that
establish his claim to be good mixer,
bat sensible one. Memphis CONNER

Belonging to Miss Haynes was strapped

she sat upon the trunk during the en-

else TO sit on guard. With the grim

the burning deck, she just kept sitting
there, despite the calls and offers Of
others to take her place at the helm.

JOHNNY RUSSELL IS
FINED $500 IN JUAREZ
Alleged King of Bunco Men
Believed to Be in
El PaSO.

Johnny Russell, proprietor of the Ely
club gambling house in Juarez, where
many American tourists are alleged to
have lost heavily, was arrested on the
order of military authorities in Juarez
Thursday Afternoon on charge of having
swindled a tourist. He was placed in
Jail and later in the evening was given
his release on bond, which was set at
$500. Russell s said to have left Juarez
in an automobile at 10 o'clock Thursday
night and made his way to Ell Paso.
He is known all over the United
States and since he has been in Juarez
has been called the chief of the "con"
men who have been operating there, at
one time having about 80 in his gang
which terrorized tourists who visited
Juarez. The rebel police ran the crowd
out a few weeks ago and they scattered
but recently have come back, many of
them making their headquarters about
RusselPs place.
Russell sent his trunk across the river,
perhaps preparatory to making an es-
cape, but it was seized by the customs
officers.
