Political Tricks Of Republicans.

Political Tricks Of Republicans.
Bearing out the warning given by
The Democrat, that the Republicans
are surely but quietly working out
schemes to defeat Judge Felix w.
Moore, the Democratic nominee for
the Court of Civil Appeals, and to elect
Judge HI. N. Cate, the Republican
nominee letters have fallen into the
hands of Chairman Morton showing
that the Republican State Committee is
trying to beguile Democrats into voting
for the Republican candidate.
The scheme charged against them is
that they are having ballots printed for
the various counties with all the noml-
nees on them except the name of Judge
Moore, and that in place of the Demo
cratic nominee is placed the name OF
the Republican nominee, Judge FL. N.
Cate.
OF this scheme Chairman Morton
says:
Il wish the laid of the Democratic
press of the State, both daily and
weekly in directing the attention of the
voters to the effort the Republicans are
making to defeat the Democratic nom
nee for Judge of the Court of Civil APP
peals, Judge Felix w. Moore, and
elect the Republican nominee.
THAT the Republicans are busy and
are trying to have the Republican nom
inee's name on the SKI ballots in each
county in place of Judge Moore's is
shown by the following letter which is
being sent out by the Republican Cam
paign Committee, and which accidently
came INTO my hands:
Republican State Executive Com
mittee. Campaign Headquarters, Rooms
5O9-11 Stahlman Building, Nashville,
Tenn, July 10, 1912.
Dear Sir At the general election
on August LIST, Hon. H. n. Cate will
be candidate as the Republican nomi-
nee for Judge of the Court of Civil
Appeals.
We are quite confident of electing
Judge Cate with reasonable turnout
of Republicans throughout the State.
1t is therefore of the utmost impor
lance that we get in communication at
once with your District Committeeman
and the Republican organization, SO as
to bring out every vote possible.
Does any portion of your county
vote the uniform, or SKI ballot? If so,
will you make local arrangements to
have some printed? If not, please as
certain at once the necessary candi-
dates for the various county offices to
be voted for, and send them to me by
return mail in order that we may have
the ballots printed and forwarded to
you.
This is very important and prompt
action on your part is necessary.
Very truly yours,
GEO. T. RENFRo, Sec.,
Republican Executive Committee. "
AS the Republicans have nomi-
lated a candidate for only one office to
De elected in the August election, it is
,ery evident from this letter that they
nope to get Democratic votes by having
he names of the other Democratic
candidates printed on the SKI ballots
With the Republican nominee substi-
uted for the Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Court of Civil Appeals.
Our nominee for Judge of the SUI
,reme Court, Judge Buchanan, is with
nut opposition, and his name will be on
he SKI ballots, but | trust that all the
Democratic papers in the State will
irge the voters not to be misled by
eeing his name on the ballot, but will
ee that their ballot also has on it for
Judge of the Court of Civil Appeals, |
felix W. Moore, and warn them against
,allots apparently Democratic with H.
I. Cate substituted for Felix w. |
Ioore."
We take the above from the Tennes-
can American, and reproduce it in or
er to give Democrats of this county
warming of the slick move on the part
f the State Republican Committee to
efeat the election of Judge Felix w. |
Ioore, the Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Court of Civil Appeals. |
Judge Moore was nominated by one Of
he largest Democratic conventions that
yer assembled in the State, and is en-
led to the votes of all Democrats, and
We urge them to go to the polls on the
Irst Thursday in August and see that
lis name is on their ballot when they
ote. His nomination was made by an
majority of the conven-
ion, and now let the Democrats of the
tate elect him by the largest majority
my Democrat ever received in Ten
lessee.
