From an editorial article in the

forcement in Nashville would
result in populating the sky
scrapers Of that city with bats
and owls. While such an init
nation is a libel on Nashville
and wholly in keeping with the
character and reputation Of the
Nashville Democrat, we should
if we lived in that misg,verned
city, take the position that bats
and owls in the sky. scrapers
would be more creditable and
would iflaths lorg run pay better
than thesanumber of unlawful
saloon.keepers, gamblers and

Nashville has a three cornered
fight for the mayorality nomina-

to be held Sept. 18th. Howse,
the out-and,out supporter and
ally of rahe criminal element,
under whom the unlawful saloon,
the bawdY house and the ganb-
ling hell flourish, is candidate
for reelection and regardless of
how many may run takes the po-
sition that the city hasa majority
of his Kind. Another candidate,
backed it is said BY the Nashville
Democrat and A. B. Neil, the
unspeakabla Criminal Judge, is
Judge M Henry Meeks, who
years ago filed the office Of at.
tofney general in this circuit
and who made then no COM
promise. with the violators of the
law. To our mind, Judge Meeks
is in reality no improvement
over Howse, for he promises, If
elected, to nullify the law of the
State and to permit the unlaw-
full saloon to run within segrega-
ted lines. He promises to sup
press the gambling house, while
he let's the saloon rum "a farce on
the face of the proposition, for
all know that-the gambling hell
in its lowest form, is credit to
the city as compared with the

full. Judge Meeks is aware of

Meeks has waited late in life to

whom the unlawful whisky
seller, the gambling hell proprie-

keepers are safe from protection,
is discredit to him. The third
candidate and the one whom we
will be glad to see come under
the wire winner is Mr.. Noah
W. Cooper, . lawyer, q clean
man and q candidate who has
not hesitated to tell the people
in his public addresses of the de-
plorable and disgraceful condi-
tions to which the Capitol City
has sunk. Mr.. Cooper stands
for the home against the home
wrecker, for morality instead of
prostitution, for honesty instead
of graft, and on that account the
advocates of whisky and that
class of men who world sell their

ATTIC. God grant that the dav
may come when Nashville will
