on his shoulders. The stroke

was preparing to retire, and in

SINE DIE.
Legislature Adjourns Ur-

of 1t all-Unbought?

On last Saturday, after an i'll.
spent life more in intent than in
accomplishment, lasting from
the 9th of January until that
date, with the exception of from
February 2lst to March 10th, the
recess period, the 5Sth General
Assembly died a violent death
caused by the refusal of indie.
pendent Democrats and the anti
whisky Republicans to partici-
pate in the demonstrations
farce. That the 5Sth General
Assembly did no good cannot be
said, for it will be rendered that
by it Ham Patterson was put out
of the running for United States
Senator and Frank Dibrell was
driven from the Office of Comp
troller-and these acts alone en-.
title the body to be classed
among the things that had bet.
ter lived with all its drawbacks
than not to have lived at all.
Some wholesome laws were en-
acted-some outrages attempted.
In the main, the men elected
were faithful and those of them
who have besmirched their good
names by their acts, at least did
so early in the session-and won
for themselves the Carlisle def
milton of honest men, by staying
bought. The Senate, in the per.
son of the Hon. Newton H..
White, of Giles county, had the
aolest and most impartial
Speaker that has presided over
the Upper House in many de-
cades in Tennessee history. In
Little Billee Stanton, Speaker,
the Lower House was cursed with
a slave of Ed. Crump, the Mem.
phis boss, who is both the Mas
ter of the Memphis Saloon keep
ers and the tool of the great
whisky organization. Stanton is
rotten to the core and.in connec-
tion with the high handed at
tempt to give the election ma
chinery of the State over to the
liquor interest, his-name will be
handed down in execration-as

to amend the election law from
honesty to dishonesty without

LEXINGTON TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10 1913.
Senator Shields.
States His Position In
Reference to Giving His
Endorsement to Appli-
cants for Federal Office.

-~--------~--------------
John X. Shields, Senator Of the
United States by virtue of Inde-
pendent Democratic and Repnb-
lican votes in the Legislature,
and late member Of the Supreme
court of Tennessee, as the result
of organized revolt against that
for which the Senator now takes
such an uncompromising stand,
has sent out from Washing
ton a statement of his position
in regard to giving his endorse
ment to Tennessee applicants for
Federal Office. We had hoped
until forced to believe it that
the Senator had been misrepre-
sented in the matter; that surely
he had not turned in such base
ingratitnde against those who
gave him the honors he has en-.
joyed-but alas. it seems that
the. Senator's conception of the
manhood Of Tennessee has gone
down considerably since he head
ed the. movement to prevent
Ham Patterson from coercing
the Supreme Court of the State.
King Hamuel failed in his ne,
farious intent and the falling
down of John K. Shields in at
tempting to coerce the Federal
Office seekera of the State will
be as ignoble. Senator Shields
can neither bribe nor frighten
the manhood Of Tennessee out Of
that characteristic which came
to the rescue when Patterson and
the hordes Of whisky threatened,
when Bob Taylor pnt on the coat
of Patterson for the same pur-
pose and latter when Benton Nc
Millin let himself be made the
tool of the same interests under
the guise and cloak Of regular
Democracy. With unspeakable
scorn for Shields, the political
turncoat, the traitor to those whS
gave him the greatest honor of
his life, we reproduce his state
ment from Washington.
