State Government.
We appeal to you in the next place
on local grounds. Your State has for
years been misgoverned by a corrupt
and hypocritical set of leaders in the
two old parties, who have made COM
mon canse in the interest of themselves
and the special interests which have
employed them. BY the creation Of
false issues these leaders, to the delight
of corporations, have torn the old par
ties into factions and given Tennessee
over to government by sordid bosses.
These leaders have tainted the official
life of the State and robbed you under
the form of law. They have set over
you corrupt rule by a ring of Federal
and State otficeholders who have bold
ly defied you and put a premium on
political theft, if not worse forms Of
They have for years pre-
tended to be the friends of the plain
people, but at each succeeding session
of the Legislature they have in devious
ways managed to deseat most legisla-
ton proposed in the interest of the
people who earn their living by the
sweat of their brows.
Labor and Other Lave.
The fellow servants law by hard
fight was passed through the State
Senate in 1911, the first time it ever
passed either branch of the Legislature,
only to be killed in the House by the
agents of the corporations who held
high places in the old party manage
ment, and by the inactivity of its pre-
tended friends who were prominent in
the official authority Of the State.
