THE AUGUST ELECTION
AND THE PRIMARY.

Only thirteen days will elapse before
the election day of August /, when
county officers and State judicial fl
GERS will be elected and when the
| Democratic primary elestions will be
held in all the counties to nominate a
candidate for Governor and to elect
delegates to the State Convention to be
held August Is, which will prOmul-
gate party platform.
Dsmoetass houid interest BIB emseLves
in these elections and tHrn out in fllF
| force at the polls to elect county CHI
GERS and to elect by heavy vote Jut ge
A. S. Buchanan, the Dem ocratic nom
inee for Supreme Judge, and Judge Be-
lix w. MSore, the party nominee for
Judge of the Court of Civil Appeals.
Judge Buchanan has no opponent in
tha field, but he is entitled to the flll
Democratic vote. Judge Moore his
Republican opponent in Judge II n.
Cate of Newport, the former law art
ner of Gov. Hooper, who was app mt
ed by Gov. Hooper to fill the vacA!cy
caused by the death of Judge Johi NJ
Taylor Of West Tennessee, despite the
fact that according to the law, JuIge
Taylor's successor should have been
appointed from West Tennessee.
In this election Democrats should be
on their guard against Republican
tricks. 1t has been disclosed thai the
Republican State Committee is pr, par
ing to send uniform 3x7 ballots into
the counties containing the nam ) of
the Democratic nominees for county
offices, but with the name of Judge
Cate substituted for that of Judge
Moore. Ali ballots shonld be c:usely
Scrutenized by the voters before Using
them.
No less important is it that Demo-
Gratis participate in full force il the
Democratic primaries to express their
majority choice for a candidate for
Governor and to elect delegates t. their
State Convention. This is an excep-
tionally important political year and |
one of exceptional Democratic opror- |
tunity in the Nation and in the state. |
1t is year in which to elect a Demo |
cratic President and the year for re-
storing Tennessee to Democratic rule. |
The candidate nominated for Governor
in the August primary must defeat |
Hooper and the Sanders machine in |
November. The Democracy should |
arouse itself fully for this k and |
manifest its interest and resolution in
the primaries. And Democrats in ev.
cry county ahould give special atten-
ton to the election of true Democrats
as delegates to the convention of Au-
gust 10, which will make the platform
for the party upon which its candidate
for Governor shall lead the party to
victory in the November election

OUR PUBLIC PRINTER
SAMUEL B. DONNELLY.
A Successful Public Official and a
Man Who Believes in Right-Col-

AfA0AAA w &AC OCllGNGS III INiGAlE-AOl-
ored Printers Speak Well of Him.
Public Printer Samuel B. Donnelly
is no doubt one OF the best and one
OF the finest men in publ life Since
he has been in charge of the Gov
ernment Printing Office no man las
endeavored to do his duty more than
he has. He means to give every
body square deal, and in speaking
to a representative of The Bee. the
colored employees OF the Government
Printing Office say that he IS man
who treats everybody as a man. ir-
respective of color or condition. 1t
will be remembered that the Public
Printer some few months ago was
criticised because he stood by a col
Ored bricklayer, who claimed that he
had met with all of the requirements
which qualified him for the position
OF bricklayer 1t will be remembered
that the Public Printer stood man
fully by this cOlored American. and
II was only on a tcchnicality that
the Civil Service Commission dis
qualified him 1t was the fault Of
this bricklayer that he was relieved
from the position to which the Pub
lie Printer had appointed him. Mr..
DoInelly is a man OF the highest in
tegrity. and he believes in treating
all people under him as they should
be. 1t Is true that the Public Prin-
ter has to contend with understrop-
pers who imagine that they are su-
periOr 10 him. The COlOred employees,
very often. have to report their &C
tons to him, who is compelled to
reprImand them. The Public Printer
realizes when he promotes these un-
derstroppers they exceed the power
vested in them. The Public Printer
will not permit discrimination in any
branch OF his department. He is one
that will rebuke any sub-bOss who at
tempts to do that which Is in violation
of the rules of this great government
workshop. No better man could be
found to head this great institution
He knows no man by the eolor Of
his skin, which cannot be said of ev-
erybody under this administration
President Taft, The Bee feels\ con-
fIdent, doesn't know that there Is a
great deal of discrimination in other
departments OF the Government
against colored citizens, and if all Of
them possessed that characteristic de-
gree Of fairness that is found in the
Public Printer, The Bee would not
complain 1t IS regretted that The
Bee IS forced to speak OF the unfair
ness and race discrimination in many
of the departments by this Govern
ment The Bee asks that colored
Americans be treated like they are
treated by Public Printer Donnelly,
and there will be no cause for com
plant
