IS PROMINENT
BUSINESS MAN.
KNOWS NEEDS OF STATE
And Will Give the People a Sound
Business Administration-WIl
Make Vigorous Campaign

Chattanooga, June 21.-Following
repeated and widespread importuni-
ties on the part of democrats in all Sec
tions of Tennessee, Thomas r. Preston,
president of the Hamilton National
Bank in this city, late tonight decided
to enter the race for the democratic
nomination for governor.
Mr.. Preston has large business inter
ests and was loath to enter the race on
this account, but so insistent has peen
the demand that he finally capitulated
His announcement in full is as follows:
"There is widespread desire not only
in Tennessee but throughout the coun-
try, to place public affairs on sound
business basis. This is the tennency
everywhere In Tennessee it has been
forty years since we have had gov
ernor who has had any extensive busi-
ness experience, and for many years this
state had had few definite constructive
policies. Our opportunities have been
wasted and our energies dissipated along
the lines of factional politics until the
people of this, state are now realizing
the lamentable fact that we are rela-
lively declineing in both population and
wealth. Some of the rich agricultural
counties of this state have actually lost
in population for over thirty years.
ave are losing standing as state
both at home and abroad. Much capital
and many desirable citizens are going
elsewhere that should come to Tennes-
see. Our population for the ten-year
period ending with 1910 increased only
81 per cent--less than any state in the
south except one. The expence of con-
ducting the state government during
approximately the period actually in
creased over 80 per cent.
None Can Tell
"Whether or not majority of the
people really desire a change in their
affairs and care to'put men of business
experience in charge, no one can now
tell.
"Our laws of taxation need revising
from start to finish. Under our pres
ent system, great harm is being done
to both capital and labor.
"We have no adequate system of
auditing public records, either county
or state. The people do not know how
their funds are collected or expended
except in a most general way. We
have nearly 400 state banks with mil
lions of dollars in assets and no public
system of examination, the largest
state in the union of which this is true.
'The cost of criminal prosecutions
in Tennessee is SAID to exceed that of
any other state in the union. Thou
sands of dollars annually could be
saved in criminal costs alone, besides
a more effective administration for law
and order, which is so much needed
here and elsewhere.
"There seems TO be desire TO urge
some man who has had business ex-
perience TO become candidate for gov
eruor. Many suggested my name in
