In Lengthy Article Candidate for Legislature Resents Attack
Made Upon Him By c. F. Boyer and Suggests That He
Would Like to Meet Boyer the Stump to Expose to

paid $250.00 by the Regular Dem
ocratS to run up and down
through East Tennessee in an eff
fort to set the Republican men,
bers to pledge themselves to join
in with John |. and the Regulars
to organize the legislature. Does
this look like he went there to
stand with the Republicans? On
or about March 26th, this honk-
honk of John rs wrote a letter
which was published in the papers
of our town, in which he explain
ed why he voted to repeal the
election law. The reasons, in
part, were furnished by the brain
of John |. In this letter he said
he went to the legislature intend
ing to be with the Republicans. He
knows he falsifies here, for more
than one honest man heard him
say on the streets of Newport, be-
fore he ever went to take his seat,
that he would oppose every d-n
thing Hooper was for. Again
on or about April 26th, he ex-
pressed one of his sober senti-
ments when he hailed John |. Cox
as the Next Governor of Tennes-
see," and said, "Us Radicals up in
East Tennessee are for you to a
man."
Now, how about this John Isaac
pill, my fellow Republicans? Can
We afford to swallow it any more?
Again, in another public letter, on
or about April 4th, Honk-honk
Boyer wrote: When | wanted
to run for Representative last fall,
in order to earn a pittance for my
wife and children, Hooper's pup
pets were set upon me and | was
told couldn't go. Now, if after
reading this, you can blame me
for joining the Regular Democracy
which offered me and my family
a helping hand, cannot help it. :"
Now | ask the Republicans of
Cooke County, what do you think
of that? What did he mean by "a
helping hand? Does this look
like he had the welfare of his
county at heart? He was already
elected to serve in the legislature
and his per diem was guaranteed.
Why should he expect any further
pittances or helping hands? Again,
his nice, clean record shows that
on or about June 14th, in one of
his bitter arraignr1ents of the
Republicans who would not vote
with him and John Isaac, and who
Joined the filibusters, he called
every one of these Republi-
cans a name regarded as lowest
and meaneSt in the English
language, and again, on or about
June oath, he was called down,
on the floor of the House,
for using profane and vulgarly
language in the presence of ladies.
Now I'wonder what we Radicals
to a man think of such representa-
ton as that. Further, | charge
that often when Honk-honk Boyer
was at home, too drunk to report
for duty, one Ceph Remine, the
Regulars Boyer body guard,
would wire certain Regular
Democrat here to send Boyer
down on the next train. In every
single instance Boyer voted with
John Isaac and the Regulars. Can
anybody make the people of
Cooke County believe that they
sent him for that purpose? | think
surely not. Boyer was one of the
only three Republicans from East
Tennessee, who voted regularly
with the Regulars. Can we be

have read in last weeks issue
of the Newport Times the article
from the pen of C. F. Boyer, bet
ter known as John |. Cox's honk-
honker, in which he sorely bursts
forth with a political howl against
Governor Hooper, the Republican
Executive Committee and myself.
His article, ''The slop bucket turn
ed over" has title strikingly
characteristic of its author and
clearly portrays the trend of his
intoxicated mind. | am sure that
Honk-Honk Boyer has sloppy
feeling and a sloppy taste in his
mouth, as a result of having wal
lowed in the saloon slop pens OF
Nashville. for the past eight
months. Of course, just emerging
from such a filthy environment as
this he would naturally think
nasty and filthy thoughts.
had not given Mr.. Boyer any
reason for coming out in this dirty
way, or in any other way, against
me. | had no reference to him in
either my verbal or written an
nouncement and out of regard for
him in his old age and for the
members of his family, some of
whom | know, | did not intend to
refer to him or to expose his
record, so long as he stayed out
of the race and took no stand
against me. But now, since this
John |. Cox honk-honker has
jumped on me in this indecent and
ungentlemanly way, it becomes
my simple duty of personal and
party defense to show him up the
man he really is, and to tell few
things | happen to know.
In his "slop bucket" article he
has a great deal to say about
bosses and somebody influence
ing certain fellows to run for Of
flee. But he never mentions the
hot air incubator he has been run
ming in the Circuit Court Clerks
office for the last month, Matching
out candidates for county offices
This incubator, however, has not
smashed any great record in turn
ing out a strong, healthy product
The odor it leaves on them is not
very conducive to rapid and GER
tain growth and most of them
have dwindled and died. Why
has he been doing this? Be-
cause he thinks it would not do to
have anybody elected to county
offices who would oppose him
and JohnI. in the November elec-
ton. He knows that a number OF
those who are holding office al
present have and would likely
do so and he cannot stand to
think Of it, regardless of the fact
that these officers are honest men
and filling the offices in a credit
able way, to the satisfaction OF
the taxpayers of the county. He
wants things fixed and is willing
to sacrifice the Republican party,
which has fed him for the last
forty years, in order to elect John
|. Cox Governor, himself to the
legislature and leave the party he
has deceived in the hands of his
red-necked boss and dictator, who
would apply the final touch ol
physical facts" to it.
Mr.. Boyer took great pains tc
show in his "slop" article mum
ber of the things he didn't de
while in the legislature. Why
didn't he mention a few of the
things he did do? Because hi
knew it would give him "grea
pain" Now let's review his nobl,
work. In the first place he wa

with the Sells-Lovett committee
in the holding of a primary.
1t was agreed to hold a primary
on September 9Th, this complying
with the proposition of the Sells
people and it was furthermore
agreed that a subcommittee be
named to make another date if
this proved unsatisfactory, but the
limit for same was put at Septem-
ber 5th, so as to give the Anti
Sells people ample opportunity to
concentrate on one good candi-
date. 1t was furthermore agreed
that unless the Selis-Lovett COM
mittee accepted the proposition in
writing within thirty days, that
the primary would be called off
and that the Massey-Shipley COM
mittee would hold a mass conven-
ton on April 18th, at johnson
City, Tennessee.
Besides the committee, those
participating in the deliberations
of the committee were DIR. Z. D.
Massey, John Fuller, Gen. Cox, Joe
Howard, Judge Campbell, John
Phillips, Grant JAWS and others.
The proposition of the Sells peo-
pie which was under discussion at
the meeting is as follows, and no
serious objection was found to any
part of it except to that part which
suggested that the Progressives
pledge themselves to be Republi-
cans ETC., the Massey-Shipley peo-
pie taking the stand that they were
selected in the same convention
which selected the other commit
tee, under exact like circumstan-
ces and before there had been any
split at Chicago:

Professor G, E, Bonnet Reads
Interesting Paper on Subject
Of Vital Interest to AIbu-
Querque Residents.

Before 2 wen attended meeting d
the Citizens league held IN the as.
/ sembly room. Of the Central higt
school last night, Professor {. Il. BON.
nett Of the University Of New Mexico
4 read an able paper on the subject Of
municipal ownership Of public uuli.
ties, with special reference To the
tqnestion now before the people Of Al
lhuquerdue Of the purchase hy the city
Of the waterworks plant
! Professor Bonnet has made a spe-
cial study Of municipal problems, and
Is recognized expert on the subject.
His address was given the closest at
tentIon, and he was literally applaud
ed at the conclusion Of his remarks.
He told of the experience that other
cities had in the matter of public
ownership Of utilities, but stated at
the outset that il was not his intention
to make any recommendations rela-
tive to the local situation.
Professor Bonnett's conclusions, in
brief were that where municipally
owned utilities had been conducted
honestly and efficiently they had all
ways proved successful but where
graft and incompetoncy had been al
lowed to enter into the system failure
had invariably resulted. The stand
ard of citizenship of the community
he said, would largely govern the re-
suit of municipal ownership.
AT the conclusion of Professor Bon
nctts address there were numerous
calls for Rev. Hermon +. Williams
and the minister responded i'm a brief
talk The sentiment Of the city In the
abstract, ne said was undoubtedly in
favor of municipal ownership of the
waterworks, but the subject had been
greatly complicated with other issues.

lillo county he thought was likely to
retard the movement 10 have the city

declared. The increase that would
