WILL NOT REFORM.

That the machine in charge OF the
so-called regular democracy OF Ten
nessee is determined to hold the par
ty in alliance with the back tax plum
derbund and the corrupt liquor inter-
est is becoming more and more evil
dent every day. The machine lead
ers are bound to these iniquitous in
terests and they would rather have
the democratic party utterly Destroy
ed than see il rehabilitated if its re-
formation is to be made at the cost Of
domination of the back tax and liquor
powers.
Three events in the recent history
of Tennessee politics show corclu-
sively the dominating power of these
sinister influences A short time ago
Chairman Morton, of the state demo
cratic committee, made it plain that
the democratic PARTY to win must sew
er it's alliances with the lawless in
t6T0SIS, that II must SIohu w 40"
and order, for an honest tax system
and for fail elections. Mr.. Merton
was Immediately read out of the par
ty by the liquor organs and so pow
erful was the influence Of these inter-
ests that he subsequently recanted
and promised in the future to obey
the dictates of the gang"
Another incident in the series was
the law enforcement mass meeting
at Clarksvi.e. Saloons were running
in that city in open and fragrant vio-
lation of tn cfour mile law. Although
GAINESVILLE voted dry" by an over
whelming vote, the liquor interest, es-
sentially lawless, has refused to obey
the mandate of the people. Good
citizens of t.)o community, regardless
OF political persuasion, recognizing
that a community must either have
law or submit to a reign of anarchy,
assembled together and declared that
the laws must be enforced against
the lawless liquor interests. The
chief orator at the meeting was Hon.
Alex Gholso1, learned and respect
ed member of the bar. Mr.. Gholson
has always been regular OF the
regulars. He was one of the NOM
inees of tue June-bug" primary OF
1910, and went to defeat with Pat
terson. But he believes that there is
nothing in democracy that teaches
lawlessness And he protested
against the action of the Judge at
Clarksville in refusing to execute the
law. For this offense he has been
soundly denounced by liquor organs.
The third of the series referred to
occurred right here in Maury coun-
ty. Patriotic members Of the regu.
lar faction sought to find for election

and charactee were such that his ap-
pointment would be ample guarantee
Of a fair count and an honest regis
tration of the voters will They sell

zen and loyal regular" But Mr..
Allen believes in the enforcement: Of
the law. He is opposed to the domi-
nation of the democratic party or
any other party by lawless special in.
terests. He believes in an honest
enforcement of honest tax laws.
He is not member of the back tax
plunderbund. Fer these reasons and
these alone Mr.. Allen was sacrificed
by the machine. He got the same
treatment sccored to Morton and
Gholson. He was told that his kind

eastern railroads and their conduct

the conference committee OF mana

in no case shall double compensation
be paid; that the rates fixed and

their difficulties under the Newlands

TRAIN KILLS MOTORCYCL1ST.
Oscar Lancaster, of Union, Struck by
Southern Railway Passenger.

Union, July 10.-This afternoon
about $50 o'clock the passenger train
on the Southern Railway, from Spar
tanburg to Columbia, struck and
killed Oscar Lancaster at crossing
about two blocks north of the depot
here. Lancaster, was riding a motor
cycle, and on account Of box GERS on
the side track obscuring his view,
could not see the approaching train.
1t is probable that the noise from the
motorcycle prevented his hearing the
train. He was thrown a considerable
distance, and died in few minutes.
Lancaster was married and was son
of the late J. B. Lancaster, a former
auditor of this county. He was a
brother of NJ. Otis Lancaster, who is
connected with the Merchants and
Planters National Bank, of this city.
Cesar Lancaster was we'll and popu-
larly known here and his death is a
mater of general regret. He was a
member of the Baptist Church and
was very much interested in church
work. He was young man of splen-
did disposition and high character
and will be'very much missed in the
community.
