wage an aggressive campaign, and
being a speaker of great power and ell

His attitude in the past political

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

1t is time for the democrats of Ten.
nessee TO consider the matter of select
ing a presidential candidate. Gov.
Harmon, Mr.. Underwood and Mr..
Clark stand substantially the same
principles. DR.. Wilson stands apart.
While he presents himself as demo-
cratic candidate, he openly admits that
he recognizes no difference, between his
own principles and those of La Fol-
lette republican. 1t is to be assumed
that the democrats of Tennessee will
also not recognize any difference and
look for another candidate.
If the democrats of Tennessee alone
had the choosing, Mr.. Underwood
would probably be the nominee. He
is able, he is sound, he is from the
south, and he understands better than
any of them the race problem-the
greatest problem to the south in the
future. But this, his strength in Ten.
nessee, may be his weakness elsewhere.
So long as the influence of the Grand
Army of the Republic is powerful en-
ough to compel the congress to vote for
monstrous increase of pensions in the
year 1911, it may be resented enough
to oppose a man for the presidency
merely because he is from the south.
Still Mr.. Underwood's record is so ex-
cellent that his nomination for the Sec
ond place on the ticket would probably
not be prejudicially opposed.
Mr.. Clark has not developed the
strength in his candidacy that his
friends expected, although his demo G.
racy is sound. 1t results that Gov.
Harmon appears to be the most avail
able, and all in all the best candidate
in the field. He is personally clean,
eminently capable and politically
sound, and can certainly carry Ohio,
and most probably New York. This
means that he can win. "Harmon and |
Underwood is a ticket which true
democrats can support, and one which |
will give promise of success. The Ban
ner is supporting DR.. Wilson, just as it
has supported Mr.. Hooper for governor
heretofore. This fact is not likely to
him to the democracy OF
Tennessee.
The Democrat is not opposed to eth
er Mr.. Underwood or Mr.. Clark. 1t
suggests Gov. Harmon and "Harmon
and Underwood as probably the best
selection TO be made under the circum-
stances but it is opposed to DIR. Wilson
or any other man who can not distin-
guish himself from a La Toilette re-
publican. 1t lays but little store by

.ianees that he did, and that he Gin.

GOV. PATTERSON is
PREPARING STATEMENT

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 29.-Gov. Pat
terson's announcement for the United
States senate is expected within the
next day or two.
Close friends stated today that he
was now preparing it, but the governor
simply said that he was preparing a
statement"
"You may say that in a few days /
will make an announcement of my
plans,o said Gov Patterson today to a
representative of The Democrat "In
that announcement will give full con-
sideration to the questions about which
you ask. At this time am not pre-
pared to answer you, but l hope to
have astatement ready this week"
When Gov. Patterson was in Nash
vile at the recent meeting of the state
committee, it was reported that many
of his Middle and East Tennessee lead.
ers were in conference with him.
Returning home he found many let
tiers from all sections of the state urg-
ing him TO re-enter the political field.
Some of the ;e letters have urged him
to become candidate for the senate,
while others have insisted that he run
for governor. Close friends of the ex-
governor declare that he much prefers
to become candidate for the senate
and would enter the bernatorial race
only in the event of some unlooked-for
contingency.
The statement will be of interest not
only in the event that he announces
his candidacy, but, should he decline
to re-enter the field, there will be an
additional interest. Governor Patter-
son stated today that i f he should con-
clude not to become candidate at this
time, it would mean permanent re-
tirement from state politics.

CITY COURT HOUSE
WORRYING ALDERMEN

No one denies the fact that johnson
City needs court house or city hall
and an effort is now being made to or.
der an election to vote the necessary
$4,000 in bonds for the purpose. Be
fore the election can be ordered it is
necessary to select the site for the
building, and here is where the trouble
begins. The board invited offers of
free sites and received four propositions
as follows:
LIST. By the Johnson City Develop
ment Co. 200 feet front on West Market
street at any point between the old
Hankle residence and West Watauga
avenue.
I'd. By N. G. Love, 200 feet on Hum
bolt stree! just back of the Presbyterian
church and above the old ball park.
Sd. By q. J. Broyles and Others, ad.
ditional frontage on East Main street
to be added to the Burnett property
now owned by the city.
4In. by Unaka corporation, 2Uu rect
on Ash street in the block either east
or west of the postotfice, or 200 on the
Buffalo end of the block east of the
postotfice.
The board met Tuesday afternoon
and listened to several impassioned
speeches upon the subject that contain
ed more heat than logic and finally in
structed the city attorney to draw a
resolution, if within the law, TO sub
nit the various sites to the people at
the bond election.
The board will meet tonight and the
question will probably come up and
may be settled by the board.

Mr.. i. +. Ellsworth, johnson City,
Tenn.-Dear Sir: Why was it necessa-
ry or advisable to say, as you did in
The Comet, that had denied you an
examination of the auditors report
upon the audit of your accounts, but
had permitted Editor Slack an exami-
nation?
Is it not n fact you were offered,
through your attorney sent to me for
the purpose, full and free examina.
tion of the report in my office, as pro-
vided by order of the board of mayor
and aldermen Also, is it not true
that the same afternoon, upon the earn
est solicitation of friend of yours who
was confident the board would next
afternoon ratify my action, permitted
the report to be taken out to you, and
that you took the report home, read it,
kept it fifteen hours and returned it e?
You are bound to say these are facts.
You had no way to know it, but |
repeatedly asked Mr.. Slack and Mr..
Templin to withhold publication of the
report until the board had dissected it.
Mr.. S"rE simply asserted his right as
Cit at interest to see public doc
um(-t. Taking the report off to a
quiet corner and a comfortable chair
was, in Slack's case as in yours, a
matter of mere courtesy and convent
ence.

ton whatever to make political capital

of your rebuttal, and in the smeantime
shall extend you every courtesy within
any reasonable rower in your business

let your state is be misleading as to
me, nor place ne in false attitude be-
fore the people whose continued respect
| must have.
Your statement having had some

URGED FOR CONGRESS

J. Norment Powell is being boosted
for the democratic nomination for con
gress from the Ninth Virginia district,
1t will be pleasing to Mr.. Powell's
many friends here and over the district
to know that at Richmond, where are
gathered many prominent Southwest
Virginians during the present session
of the legislature, he is being promi-
nently mentioned as probably the most
available man for the honor, says the

whether he would aspire to become a
statesman, but his friends will be
pleased to note the following from the

Mr.. Powell, who is only thirty-five
years old, has had wide experience as
an attorney. He has been for ten years
identified with the mining and railroad
in the southwest and his
work has taken him in practice into
many states. He is a law partner of
former Supreme Court Judge Archer
A. Phlegar, with offices at Bristol, this
being only one of his activities.
Since an early age Mr.. Powell bias
taken an active interest in politics. He
is well known all over the district, but
has never sought nor accepted any po-
Iitical position.
