PUBLIC SQUARE AT
SPARTA IN FLAMES
THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN OF IN
CENDlARY ORIGIN, STORE
BROKEN INTO.

SPARTA, Tenn, Aug. 6.-At 2:3(
this morning Sparta is experiencing
the worst fire in the history of the
town. The entire east side of the
public square is involved and the loss
will approximate 100000.
1t is impossible to ascertain figures
on insurance at this hour, but It is
believed that the loss will be well
covered.
The fire was discovered in the
Hatcher dry goods store about mid
night and when it was sought to give
the alarm the fire bell was found to
be tied, leading strongly to the theo-
ry of incendiarism. Further strength
ening of this theory is the fact that
the front door of the Hatcher store
was found broken in. Mr.. Hatcher
left the store about 9 O'Clock, and it
is said that an unknown man was
seen in the store later than 10 o'clock.

JUDGE MOORE.

The returns of Tuesdays election
demonstrate the accuracy of The
Herald's judgment when it stated
that Gov. Hopper made a great tao
tical mistake when he did not ap
point an Independent democrat OF
West Tennessee to succeed Judge
John M. Taylor on the court of civil
appeals. His appointee, Judge Cate,
an able Judge and clean man, was
defeated by Judge Moore, who is in
no sense proper material for the
judiciary. Had the governor follow
ed the suggestion of this paper the
result would have been different.
The state would have had an able
jurist on one of its most important
courts. The defeat of Judge Cate
was inevitable. The republicans do
not vote in August and no fight was
made to get Independent democrats
to support Cate except in this coun-
ty. Again there was feeling all
over the state that Judge Taylor's
successor should have been from
West Tennessee.
The Herald regrets the election Of
Judge Moore, although it early
foresaw the consequences of Gov.
Hoopers appointment Of republic
can from East Tennessee. This
paper opposed Judge Moore because
Of his manifest lack of qualifications
for the place which he sought. 1t
will never support any candidate for
Judge merely because he wears the
party label. That its work was ef-
tective is shown by the vote in the
great democratic county Of Maury.

LEA ON THE
SITUATION
PREDICTS WILSON WILL HAVE
LARGEST VOTE SINCE GREE.
LEY GRANT CAMPAIGN.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 10
UniteG States senator Luke Lea, Of
Nashville, was in Chattanooga today.
When asked about the political sit
uation Senator Lea said:
THE outlook or the success OF the
democratic party is very bright in
nearly every state in the United
States. The bitter dissentions In the
republican party between Roosevelt
and Taft gives hope to the democratic
party everywhere, even in states that
have been heretofore hopelessly re-
publican. Roosevelt will draw his
strength almost entirely from Taft,
who will be unable to make any ap-
peal even to the reactionary element
of the democratic party. There is an
element in the democratic party that
prefers the Taft to the Wilson poll
cies, but this clement will not desert
the democratic party in the fact of
an almost certain victory, after Law
ing followed the party through defeat
for the past sixteen years, no matter
how much they disagree with the
Wilson policies. The net result will
be that Wilson will have the largest
vote in the electoral college since the
Greeley-Grant campaign.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Chattanooga Times Is deserving con.
gratulations upon the splendid
showing made in Hamilton county by
its candidates. Mr.. Preston, whom
the Times supported with enthu-
siasm and marked ability, received
an immense majority in Hamilton
county. Sheriff Conner, the republi-
can nominee for reelection, also
won by a big majority. He too was
favored with the earnest support Of
the Times. Evidently the Times
made good" handsomely with the
voters Of it's own territory. And it
is a pity that in the gubernatorial
primary the influence Of that paper
did not extend to othe, sections OF
the state. It would have meant
much for the rehabilitation of the
democratic party in Tennessee.

AUTHORITY HAS
BEEN RECEIVED
FOR THE TENNESSEE TEAM TO
COMPETE IN THE RIFLE
SHOOT.

NASHVILLE. Aug. 3.-Though all
plans have been arranged for sending
a team from Tennessee to compete in
the annual rife shoot to be held this
year at Seagirt, N. j., it was not
known officially that the team would
be allowed to compete until yester-
day when authority was received
from the secretary of war to send the
team.
preliminary shoot will be held
at the national camp at Catoosa
Springs near Reginold, Ca, August
AL, when the team to represent Ten
nessee will be chosen, and also
prizes and cups offered to riflemen of
the Tennessee National Guard con-
tested for

was repudiated and ticket made up
of old line regulars or Patterson
democrats was elected. The indie
pendents were hopelessly heaten.
We will not be unkind enough to say
that they deserved such treatment,
for this matter is mentioned alone to
show the hospitility of the regulars
toward any movement that will
make for harmony among the two
factions of the democratic party.

HARMONY NOT DESIRED.

That the so-datled regular" fac
ton of the democratic party would
rather ruin and destroy that organi-
cation than have it controlled by the
temperance and better elements OF
the party has been apparent from the
beginning of the negotiations. There
never has beer chance in Tennes-
see for real, genuine harmony among
the democratic factions. There can
be no harmony when one of the ele'
ments to be harmonized does not de-
sire it. From the beginning of the IL
logical attempt to harmonic the con-
fiicting wings of the party the 'regu-
lar" leaders and the regular" Or
gans have been bitter in their de1un-
Citations of all the patriotic demo-
Gratis who supported Hooper. Sena-
tor Lea has been almost daily the tar
get of attack from the organ of the
regulars" The genial senators es-
pousal of the cause of T. R. Preston
was sufficient to line the entire re-
gular liquor gang up for Benton Nc
Millin. Tyne's vote left his with a
rush the very moment that Senator
Lea was found behind Preston. The
regulars" have from the first bit
terly opposed, insulted and abused
every independent who sought to
cement again the factions of the
party.
This disposition was illustrated in
Maury county. Here some of the So
called regulars" agreed that there
should be a mixed ticket of delegates
elected to the state convention. Out
of the twenty-three persons agreed
upon at least sixteen have been local
option or Patterson democrats. No
possible harm could have come from
giving recognition to a few harmon
lax" independents. Then there was
a solemn agreement of the leaders
that this should be done. But in
spite of the agreement the regulars
would have nothing to do with semi
or ex-independents. The agreement

A MACHINE TRIUMPH.

1t is evident that the people OF
Tennessee can hope for little in the
way of progress and improvement in
the government of the state through
the so-called regular" democracy
The regular democrats refuse to be
reformed. They have learned roth
ing from the lessons of the past. Like
the Old Guard republican machine
they are wholly oblivious to the
change that has been and is going
on all around them. They are joined
to their idols. They believe that
there is virtue in regularity" and a
saving grace in party labels that can
cover any infamy or hide any roliti-
cal sin.
These statements are based On the
result of the recent contest for gov
ernor. Thomas r. Preston, a pro-
gressive democrat, man of clean
life of demonstrated business ability,
a good citizen. whose interest in poll
tics was prompted solely by desire
to do something for the best inter
ests of his country was overwhelm-
ingly beaten by a typical machine
politician of the type that is rapidly
disappearing from the politics of the
nation. McMillin has been an office
holder or an Office seeker all of his
life. He seeks Office for its emolu-
ments and for the power and pres
tige it gives him. He never took a
decided stand upon any question un-
til it was absolutely necessary. He
has been a time server and a trim
mer all of his public career.
The democrats had a chance to
rehabilitate the party. They had
the opportunity to make it a live
vital force in the affairs of the
state; to put it abreast of the times.
Preston's views on the liquor Ques-
ton are not different from those en-
tertained by McMillin. But he was
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1912-08-09
MACHINE MADE.

After various and sundry devious
motions and orders and resolutions
and publications we at last have the
personnel of the delegates to the ma
chine senatorial convention at Ho-
henwald next Monday from this coun-
ty. They are the same regulars"
who were elected delegates to the
state convention. BY resolution of a
subcommittee they have been ZAP
pointed" delegates to the Hohenwald
convention, although when they were
elected probably not one voter in
twenty ever thought that he was as
sisting in any way in the selection Of
senatorial delegates. But the bosses
probably knew what they had in mind
all the time and that may explain
why certain "harmonized" independ-
ents were so unceremoniously kick
ed off the ticket.
1t was published at one time that
the regular" committee" had pro-
vided for the election of delegates to
the people to Hohenwald. They were
even apportioned among the ditr;cts,
two from each district and five from
the ninth. But evidently the parti-
sans of DIR. Brown were afraid that
the salary grab bill might not set
we'll on the stomachs of even the
regulars and then 1t was pub
lished that subcommittee had been
named to appoint the delegates. This
was a wise precaution. Probably II
a different delegation had been elect
ed to the state convention we might
have had a different delegation to the
convention.
But candidly how much will the
people have to do with the nomina-
ton Of candidate at Hohenwald
next Monday? The call for the con-
vention was cleverly devised to pre-
vent any voice from the people in
that meeting. The county committees
of the regular" stripe were made
the whole thing in the appointment OF
delegates And yet they solemnly
talk to us about democracy and the
voice of the people! What bosh and
rot!

distasteful to the machine gang
He would not have been the pawn
and the plaything of the liquor traf-
fic Office and pardon brokerage gang.
He thinks for himself. He believes
that public Office is public crust.
His defeat was an unfortunate event
for Tennessee. All good citizens
who believe in the law, its enforce
ment and in the administration Of
the affairs of state for the general
good, will regret that man like
Preston, young, able, honest, pro-
gressive and independent, was not
the choice OF his party.
It was not Mr.. Prestons views on
the liquor question that defeated
him. He has done ten times more
against the temperance cause that
McMillin ever did. But he acted
from conviction, while Mr.. McMillin
has acted all his life with an eye to
the main chance. Preston was de-
feated because he was vastly sup
erior to his political gang. His
crowd could not understand man
like Preston. His conception Of
public Office and the duties of pub
lie official were beyond their meagre
comprehension
The regular democracy, like the
saloon, has refused to be reformed,
It must therefore be defeated.

POSTAL RECEIPTS
SHOW BIG INCREASE
RECEIPTS FOR JULY OVER ELEV.
EN- THOUSAND OVER THOSE
OF ONE YEAR AGO.

NASHVILLE, Aug. "A substan-
tial increase is shown In the postal
receipts for July 1912. The Nash
vile postoffice received during July,
1912, $51 1854 95, while the receipts
for the same month one year ago
amounted to sS9.6276O, showing an
increase of $11,637.35, which is 20
per cent.
The postal receipts of a city are re-
garded as the surest thermometer of
progress, and Nashville's record is
proving entirely satisfactory to all
who are interested in the welfare of
their city.

THE PRIMARY.

Every prediction made by The Her
aid with reference to the primary
has been verified. Events have dem
onstrated the good judgment which
dictated the advice that this paper
gave the advocates Of good govern
ment. These statements are not
made in any spirit of self laudation
but we call attention to the fact that
the wisdom Of our course has been
demonstrated merely as an answer to
the critics who were insistent that
another course would better effect
the end to which all are striving
better government in Tennessee.
The Herald foresaw the nomination
of Benton McMillin, the victory Of
the worst element of the old ma
chine. Look at the situation from
any angle and we could see nothing
but McMillin and Office and pardon
brokerage, Patterson and the resusci.
tation of the liquor power and Dbl
rell and the infamous back tax ma
chine.
There is no difference whatever in
the lineup this year from that of two
years ago. McMillin is not one whit
better than Patterson. Lacking Pat
terson's ability and courage he is
Just as devoted to the interests OF
the liquor machine as ever Patterson
could be. He will be the embodiment
OF everything for which the old Pat
terson regime stood. He will be the
tool of his creators. His nomination
shows plainly that the regular democ-
racy OF Tennessee refuses to be re-
formed, therefore like the saloon 1t
must be defeated. The regulars"
had the opportunity to name high
class candidate. one who stood for
the best interests of all the people,
who was outspoken against the back
tax machine and who had no sympa-
thy for the pot politicians to whom
Office is a private snap and not pub
Nc TRUST, but they refused by an
overwhelming vote to accept him.
The same crowd that named Nc
Millin will name Dibrell and Patter-
son in November. There is no hope
for Tennessee's reform and regenera-
ton in the so-called regular" ranks.
The gage of battle has been thrown
down. The regulars" like the Bour-
bons of France, have been forgotten
nothing and they have learned moth
ing. The people must again make
answer next November.
Without exception almost the indie
pendent democracy of this good coun-
ty followed the advice of The Herald
and are now free to do battle for good
government, for public morality and
the fair and honest administration
of the law. They are unhampered
and unfettered by any pledges, ex-
press, or implied. They have kept
the faith and we felicitate the Old
Guard of the good government advo-
Gates of Maury county upon their
resolute determination to stand by
their arms unto the end of the con- ,
test.
