Garner is for Roosevelt

There is no longer any doubt as to
the intention of Teddy Roosevelt &C.
cepting the nomination for the Presi-
dency. His friends are organizing for
a vigorous campaign in all the states
of the Union and from the present out
look, prospects are flatering for his
nomination. He is the logical candi-
date and at least two out of every
three of the Republican voters of Ten
nessee are favorable to his nomination.
A primary election in this state be-
tween Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt
would more than confirm the above
statement. The report is prevalent to
the effect that Mr.. Taft could not be
elected if nominated. This is the stu
alton more especially in the east, the
west and middle states. This being
the case why repeat the calamity that
befell the party in 1892 when the
Southern officeholders forced the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Harrison on the Repub-
licans of the North. Conditions are
exactly the same today with reference
to President Taft that they were with
Mr., Harrison in 1892. The middle
states are up in arms against the re-
nomination of Mr.. Taft and it we lose
these states a landslide will hit us like
it did in the Harrison case. The office
holders are busy at work in their star
chamber proceedings for the purpose OF
overriding the will of the majority and
il they succeed in nominating Mr. Taft
as they did Mr.. Harrison we will meet
our Waterloo in the November election.
TAis state of affairs is not true with
the Roosevelt managers. Their candl'
date is popular with every element IN
the nation. The laboring people VIII

accept him. Busin lss and industrial
interests will be fully satisfied with
him. Wall Street will refuse to fight
Teddy. The railroads, manufacturing
and all branches of industry will sup
port him. He is the man of the hour
and the only republican that can unite
all these elements. His nomination
means his election.
The Roosevelt men in Putnam county
should wake up and get in the band
wagon. He is the leader who can save
the party from defeat and now is the
time to act Thousands of good Demo-
Gratis a over Tennessee will support
the Rough Rider leader and his chances
to land the Tennessee electoral vote is
par excellence to that of any other liv-
ing Republican. Any one who is an
observer of things and OF men can see
a restless feeling among the Taft fol
lowers in Nashville and other sections of
the state. The investigation at Mem
phis into the pernicious political activ
ity of postmasters and revenue men by
the Civil Service Commission has liter
ally paralized the officeholders and the
road roller system. The packing of
conventions by these men will cease.
Every officeholder has been forced TO
tender his resignation as delegate to
the congressional and state conventions
and make affidavit as to just what he
did in the way of soliciting men to at
tend conventions and in otherwise neg
lecting their business and prostitute
their places to politics.
We have heard that in Putnam Coun-
ty there are crooked and suspicious
conditions. The plan to override the
Roosevelt men at the recent county
convention was not the fair thing to
do and will destroy any party that
keeps up such outrageous proceedings
to throttle the will of a faction who
are Just as honest as their convictions.

wards could not be heard in behalf of
Mr.. Roosevelt. That a vote on his
resolution was denied and when it came
to a division the chairman refused
same. The national Republican party
would not tolerate such bulldoze
game as this for one moment. They
consider that when a chairman takes
the view to cut the throats of people
that he admits defeat and no case OF
that kind has ever stood before the in
vestigation of any state or nationa
committee. That kind of tactics, il
proceeded with, will put the party on
the downward tendency and if the mat
ter is not watched closely we will lose
200 or more votes in the next election.
Our people should demand fair anc
square deal, and they are certainly en-
titled to that much at the hands of the
ones in power. Respectfully

had come to the castle, the queen
took the maid to the spinning rooms
and showed her three rooms piled
from top TO bottom with the very
finest FAX.

she would never be able to spin the
fax. As soon az she was left alone,
she began tn weep, and she sat per

out so much as lifting finger 10

ON the third day the queen came
into rhe room, and when she saw tina:
nothing had been done. she was very
much astonished; bat the lazy maid
en- excused her idleness by saying that
she had been so overcome with sorrow
at the separation from her mother
that she could not find time to work,
and could not keep her mind on the
task before her.
Her answer satisfied the queen, who
consoled her. only telling her that the
work must be begun on the morrow
without fail.
But when she had gone and the
maid was once more alone, she had
not the least idea what she WAS to do
or how to help herself. She was 30
distressed that she could do nothing
but stand by the window and weep
At length she saw three old women
passing by, one OF whom had an enor-
mousfy broad foot, the second a great
underlip that hung far down to her
chin and the third huge thumb.
They paused under the window and
asked the weeping maiden what was
the matter.
When she had told them. they offer
ed her Their services to help, and said.

trod the spinning wheel, another
