Defeat The Law Enforcement Bills

The law enforcement bills should be
defeated Without discussing their
merits or dement's, but assuming for
the purpose of this editorial that the
bills in themselves are meritorious,
they should lie defeated.
A majority of the legislature is not
either elected pledged to or is sincerely
for these bills, and there would not be
a possibility of enacling them were it
not for the enemies the Shelby dele
CATION made bv joining forces with the
independents and republicans. Even
if there had been no agreement-and
there was one as far rs Governor Hoop
er, Maj Stahlman, Lea and 9TH
ers were concerned--it is bad faith TO
have used the Shelby delegation as far
as they were thought to be needed, and
then to turn on them with what were
thought to he new-found and firm
friends as soon as the Shelby, delega-
ton was thought, as one member is
credited with saying, TO be needed no
| longer.
Recent events have proven the in
correctness of this outrageous state
ment, and the bad fait.' on the part
of Governor Hooper viii probably re-
suit not only in The repeal of every
thing this Legislature has done so far,
but The most important measure the
last two legislatures have enacted.
Let tho responsibility for this result
be placed where it belongs-on Gov
ernor Hooper-and it will not only be
bad faith but foolish for any one else
| TO help bear this burden by casting his
vote fer these measures. These bills
should be defeated and the men who
will have the courage TO cast their
votes for their defeat will earn the
lasting gratitude Of oil who believe in
a square dea,.-Nashyilie Tennessean.
