Congressional District of Tenn
essee, a place he has filled with
distinct credit to himself for sew
eral terms, Mr., Padgett is
Democrat in all the word implies,
and his life's record of able and
untirine service for his party and
his country has evoked the hearty
plaudits of the most distinguished

a Democrat to the manor born
standing always for his party
policies and ideals, as a public
servant he has, with conspicuous
fairness and ability, served ala
the people, The poorest man,
the most bitter political antag-
onist, can alike with both rich
and powerful bring their claims
to him and command his service,
His marked ability and untiring
activities in behalf Of the hum
blest OF his constituents has
! brought him very near to the
hearts Of the people of this dis
trict, and there is scarcely a com
munity in the ten counties that
has not reason to thank him for
some favors shown and service
done in its behalf The district

Over in Henry county the In.
dependents nominated a lay min
lister OF the Baptist church for
representative. Imme d lately
Brother Mclean of the esteemed
Partisan rose in his might and
proclaimed DR.. Fox's ineligibility
for that place and commended the
wisdom of the makers OF our con-
stitution in prohibiting any minis
ter of the gospel from sitting in
the legislature. After the regulars
met last week and nominated MIR.
Weldon, another Babtist lay min.
lister, for the same position, John
Mack grins somewhat sheepishly
after this wise:
eve find upon investigation
that perhaps both Mr.. Weldon and
DR. Fox will be able to conceal from
the legislature the fact, if tits a
fact, that they are parsons,

all that will remain of a once
proud army will be the sacred
memory OF their achievements.
a memory which God forbid shall
ever die Many OF them are poor,
feeble in health and need the as.
sistance of grateful State in their
declining years. And am in ia.
vor of a broad and liberal policy in
providing for them l also favor
aid for their widows, when needed.
To fail to do this is a reflection on
the people of Tennessee, for the
honor of which they offered their
lives as a sacrifice, upon the alter
of their country AS has been
truly said eff a union soldier
fought bravely to maintain the un-
ion, the Confederate fought val
iently to maintain constitutional
government
Two vexing questions have
done much to produce unrest in
the minds of the people of Tenn.
essee, and both should be finally
settled if possible by the 5Sth
General Assembly, that il the
election law, and the prohibition,
or liquor law In my judgement
these should not be partisan ques.
tons, but, honest and cOnserva
tive men, of all parties and fac
tons, should come together and in
/ their combined wisdom endorse
measures which are fair practical
and enforCible, The election law
is not partisan because the masses
of all parties want honest cleo
tons and would not tolerate
dishonest methods by any indi-
vidRsl or party. The same may
be said of the liquor law. Honest
conservative men of all parties,
who do not hold Office and never
expect to ask for one, favor the
settlement of this question along
sane and conservative lines. What
is termed State Wide Prohibition
has proven abortive, and every
sensible man who will reflect with
himself, knows it is a fake and &
failure, therefore it should be re,
pealed and some measure sub omit
ted that will restore the temper
ance cause to the place it occupied
in the state before this arbitrary
law was enacted, Then law
should be passed, and the machin
cry of law enforcement strengthen
ed if necessary, so that obedience Il
the temperance laws may be insur
ed in territory where they apply
The best method, in my humble
Judgment, to defeat a bad measure
is to enforce it, If the law is un
Wholesome or burdensome, Their
the people themselves will demand

am candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Floterial
representative from the 18th Flo
terial District aud shall base my
candidacy upon my Official record
in the 57th tie eral Assembly. Ill
Is regrelable that the 9th Gener.
al Assembly has not to its credit
record of great achievements, hut
the condition of tn politics of the
State, while IL was 10 session, made
ii impossible for much TO be done
Ny friends know that Ia that

sion, and that | was ever ready to
join with my fellow-members in
their efforts to enact legislation
which was necessary for the pro-
motion of the States welfare, lam
confident that the people Of the
State will, in the good wear 1912,
elect members whose conception
of duty will be higher than to
serve any political interest or fact
ion. The State certainly has been
disturbed long enough, by such
pickering and strife, and the peo.
pie are entitled to have a legis-
lature which will rise above the
questionable and petty methods
employed 10 the last Assembly.
Believing that the 5Slh General
Assembly has great work TO per-
form, and having, trust, laud-
able ambition to aid in its per-
Torrance, / am seeking reelection.
There are many important ques-
tions for the next General Assem-.
bly, to considerable question OF
taxation is always important, be-
cause il strikes at the very source
of government. Onr tax laws
should be revised and amended,
SO as to provide, as nearly as pos
: sible, for the burden of taxation
to rest with comparatively equaI
weight upon every citizen. Oul
laws as to criminal costs SHOULD
be amended, so as TO do justice Il

for the manufactures to guarantee Coles
