Is qualified for the exalted office OF
President. There is now no longer
room for doubt that the President
has all along been secretly encourag-
ing his boom for third term. He
would have preferred to have receiv-
ed the nomination without any out
ward effort to obtain it, but he real
'zed that he could not do that SO he
placed himself In the attitude of be-
ing not only a receptive but an avow-
cd candidate.
Roosevelt will hardly be nominal
ed. President Taft, in spite Of his er-
rors of judgment, has the. confidence
% the great majority of his party. He
has discharged the duties of his high
o nee witt ability, with fidelity and
with rare conservation to the public
service and his claims to a renomina-
ton will not be lightly set aside
merely to crafty the Unsuitable ambl-
ton Of the most egotistical man In
all this country. Roosevelt's spec
tacular methods may win some del
eeates from the far west but Presl-
dents are made East and not West
Of the Mississippi river. Taft will
get the bulk of the delegates from
tie conservative East and practical
ly all of them from the South. It ia
or candid judgment that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be humiliated by the poor
showing that he will make in the Ma
ticna, convention.
Should the Republican party be 80
bereft of reason and so devoid Of san
ity as to again place the banner in
the hands Of the Terrible Teddy It
does not require the gift of prophesy
to foresee the result In November.
The people of this nation will never
deliberately abandon the no third
torn precedent. A rule that bound
Washington and eJfferson and that
r. 8. Grant could not break. will
Keep Theodore Roosevelt in private
life. or that we are certain. II we
were a selfish partisan we might
hope for Rcosevelt's nomination to
insure Democratic victory, but we
hope that even the Republican party
VIII not commit itself to the folly
Of q third term.

WILSON THE CHOICE.

That Woodrow Wilson is the
choice of a majority of the Democra-
tic voters of Tennessee would seem
to admit of little doubt in view of the
voll of newspapers made recently by
tie Chattanooga Times. 1t Is admit
ted that the contest in Tennessee Is
between Harmon and Wilson. or
fifty-six weekly papers which answer
ed the inquiries Of the Times, thirty
FIVE declared for Wilson and only ten
for Harmon. Two of the Harmon
papers are evidently not very strong
in the faith for they state that Will
son is their second choice.
But this evidence of Wilson senti-
;nent does no. necessarily mean that
Wilson will receive the Tennessee
delegation at the Baltimore conven-
ton. Or the contrary proof Is ample
that the machine which will absolute
ly control the State convention, Is
supporting Harmon. That being the
case the so-called regular" delega-
ticn from the state will doubtless be
instructed to vote as unit" for the
Ohio Governor 1t is a long way
from the ordinary democratic voter
to the national convention and this
will not be the first time that State
delegation has failed to reflect the
sentiment Of a majority of the demo
cratic voters whom they are suppos-
ed to represent.
The coupling of the State and Ma
tional affairs in the Democratic con-
vention of Tennessee this year was
cleverly devised scheme upon the
part of the liquor machine to send a
Harmon delegation to Baltimore. It
is much better especially where there
is contest for President among
democrats, to hold two conventions,
one for state officers and the other
for the selection of delegates to the
national convention. This has often
been done in Tennessee. It was done
in 1892 and again in 1908 and per
nars in other years. Had that pre-
csdent been followed this year VIII
son would almost assuredly havc re-
"cived instructions. As 1t Is the dele
CATION will not represent the majority
sentiment Of the party in the State,
"a fact that will assuredly not make
for party harmony, desirable even in
national affairs.

ANOTHER PROTEST
AGAINST ACTION BY
EX-SEN. WHITE
LAWRENCE coUNTiAN OPPOSED
HOOKING CONGRESSIONAL
WITH STATE PRIMARY.
SHORT time UNREASONABLE
If Committee Did Not Act Arbitrarily
at Franklin Difficult to Understand.
Regulars Can Afford to Be Gener-
GUS.

Ex-senator l.. b. White, of Law
renee county, is out in the following
caro- to the public, with regard to the
action of the congressional commit
tee at Franklin:
What my future course shall be
in this congressional fight Is yet TO be
determined, but when the congress
sional committee refused to allow
reasonable time within which to see
the voters of the ten counties and ad-
ded, what would seem to be, an un-
reasonable requirement that each
candidate should pay $500 to the COM
mittee in order to qualify, the COM
mittee decided for me in the negative
the question as to whether l should
become candidate in its primary.
Having been an active working
democrat ali of my life, must regret
that for the first time it is impossi-
BILE for me to be in accord with a
democratic committee and cordially
yield to its mandates
1T has been my hope that some
thing might yet occur before the
nomination is made or declared which
would enable all candidates to sub
nit their claims to the voters, and
which would promulgate in our con-
gressional district that good feeling
among democrats for which there is
such a CRYING need throughout Ten
nessee I have always voted and
worked for the success OF democratic
candidates.
"The majority-the so-called reg
uiar" democrats-can we'll afford to
be reasonable and fair, even gener-
GUS, in their methods, in this congress
sional district, and they can i'll afford
to appear otherwise in such times of
party unrest as the present, If they
would hold in tact the splendidly or
ganized fighting force OF the party.
They should at least be just to their
own forces. If the committee did not
act arbitrarily in fixing the time of
the congressional primary for April
q, it is difficult to understand its &C
tion. This Is all that l care to say
at present. L. B. WHITE.

MR.. PADGETT's ADDRESS.

In declining to enter the unfair, ar
bilrary and un-democratic primary
Jailed in this congressional district,
Hon. Lemuel P. Padgett has not dis
appointed his friends and admirers.
The reasons which he gives for the
course that he takes are clear and
conclusive, aL6 they are also terrific
although respectful indictment of the
political cabai that dictated the I'M
precedented action of the district
committee. Mr. Padgett's emphatic
declaration that he will not abandon
his post of duty at the national capt.
tai, where he is being paid to serve
the people of this great nation, to en-
ter personal campaign for personal
ambition constitutes an eloquent ar
gument why the people should return
him to congress in spite of the
schemes of the place hunters.
His address to the people proves
that he has a high and altogether
proper conception of his duties as a
representative in congress. 1t also
makes 1t equally as plain that the
committee had no proper conception
Of Its duty to all the people and its
obligation to the democratic party
wnen 1t sought to use its once for
the advancement of selfish interests.
and the very moment that the COM
mittee 30 far forgot its obligation to
represent all of the democracy Of the
district. to hold the scales even be-
tween individual democrats, and on
the contrary became the partisan of a
particular candidate and the machine
OF special interest, that instant 1t
ceases to be the democratic commit
lee OF the district and became an out
law and an outcast from the favor
and respect OF the fair minded DEM
ocrsts. Mr.. Padgett's reasons are
sound and conclusive. Much as he
may regret the necessity for his ac-
ton. Ut was the manly and democrat
lie thing to do.
The Herald believes that Mr.. Pad
gets statement has strengthened
him with all fair minded, justice iov-
Ing democrats q the district without

nHARMoNYy IS ENDED.

When the two state democratic
committees announced that an agree
ment had been reached upon the nom
nation of candidates this year, The
Herald declared that Ghere was no
real harmony; that the kind Of har-
mony obtained was of a spurious
brand and that the whole negotiations
were highly farcical. Subsequent de-
velopments have proven the correct
ness of our vision. The harmony
program is dead, and there is not 60
ing to be much of an effort even
among it's most jealous advocates, to
resurrect it.
In the very nature of things har-
mony at this time and in the manner
provided by the two state commit
tees is absolutely impossible. The
so-called harmony pact made no pro-
vision whatever for the adjustment
of differences upon vital issues of gov
eminent: 1t was merely an agreement
to act together in the nomination of
candidates who were to be bound by
a platform yer within the breast Of
its craftsmen. In the circumstances
It was too much to expect independ-
emit democrats who had waged war
for principle and had placed allegi-
ance to state above any question Of
party fealty, to enter the agreement.
The harmony agreement never
went further than the politicians who
negotiated it. It was merely on pa
per and even the paper harmony was
out Of harmony. When the people
were heard from they spoke in thun-
der tones. The Independent State
committee did not have enough fol-
lowers into the camp Of the regulars
to make a decent body guard. 1t was
like the South American armies, a
plenty Of officers and no privates.
From every county in the state the
people emphatically repudiated the
efforts Of self-seeking politicians to
sacrific the hard won fruits Of re-
cent victories for personal and selfish
ends.
When the harmony pact was her.
aided to the world, The Herald de-
nounced 1t as harmony Of the politi-
clans by the politicians and for the
politicians" Even that description

Of the politicians, who have their

PAON|A WANTS
1000 WORKERS
IN FALL FRUIT

Denver, July 13.-Fruit growers
and ranchers of PaOnia have arranged
an excursion to Denver to secure a
thousand men to help harvest the big
gest fruit crop in the history of that
section. They will travel on a special
train and will parade Denver streets
with brass band, says a Denver
paper.
Reports from all parts of Colorado
indicate that crops this year are to
be among the heaviest raised in the
state. The condition of all fruit on
the Western slope and in the valleys
of the Eastern slope is as good as IT
has ever been and a bumper crop is
looked for by merchants and business
men.
The Mesa county fruit crop alone
has been estimated by officers of the
Growers association OF Denver at
$4,000, 900, as against 81 900, 900 last
year. In the report of the condition
of Colorado crops in the Wall Street
Journal the normal crop of this coun-
ty is valued at s5,00O,O0O.
All the other counties of the west
ernpart of the state are doing as well
and it is believed by many that Colo
RADIO will produce more in 1912 than
sIe mas ever pIouuCtu III one year
To some extent the crop still de-
pends on the weather. but with any
except the most extreme conditions,
bringing hail, or even the lack of
sufficient heat, the crop for this state
is an assured success.
The amount of moisture falling in
the eastern part of the state on the
dry farms will make the crop from
that section almost as great success
as in the irrigated portions.
Eastern bushes men are watching
with interest crop conditions in the
West. On the result depends to a
large extent, it is believed by Eastern
capitalists, the return of good times
for the next four or five years. A
failure, it is pointed out, would shake
confidence in business affairs for a
long time.
