Active work should begin now

exhibits at the fair at Milwau-

bunch of premiums over older
southern counties who had taken
pride in picking a winning dis

a very large following, and their po

AN UNJUST ATTACK.

The Herald holds no brief for Sen.
ator Lee. 1t does not always approve
his course in politics. It cannot al
ways follow him. His career has not
been altogether consistent. He has
made some most grievous errors and
has, in our judgment, placed too
much stress upon the power Of pat
ronage. But he IL entitled to fair
treatment
In its issue OF Friday last the Ban
ner makes q most unjust and unfair
attack on the senator. Because he
presented to the senate, where it
took the usual course, a memorial
from certain pro-liquor people of
Knoxville, protesting against furth-
or temperance legislation, this paper
makes it appear that he is "advocat-
ing" that course. Now this is most
unfair and unjust assumption. It
was Senator LEAFS duty to present
q memorial or petition from his con-
stituents, that was respectful in its
terms.
A senator in the congress Of the
United States is not merely the rep
resentative there Of the faction or
party that elected him. He repre-
sents the entire state. Were the
republicans of Tennessee to send to
Senator Lea a memorial protesting

HARMONY IN SPOTS.

While in West Tennessee and not
ably in East Tennessee there is mani
tested a disposition among democrats
to forget the past. wipe out the slate
and begin all over again, this Is no,
the situation in Middle Tennessee
In fact, this division Of the state fur
nished three-fourths of the delegates
that made up the recent state indie
pendent convention. Some counties
in West Tennessee and several In
East Tennessee did not send dele
gates at all. In fact, there were com
paratively few present from all OF
East Tennessee.
1t is in Middle Tennessee that Gov
Hooper's hold upon the independents
is the strongest. It was in this di.
vision, especially in the fifth and sew
enth districts, that Gov. Hooper made
such immense gains in 1912 over his
vote of 1910. AS a matter of fact his
increase in these two districts sup
piled half of his majority in the state
and it would seem that with the Sc
we're jolts that they have received as
the result of their policy of proscrip'
ton and hate and prejudice, the reg,
ulars in Middle Tennessee would have
learned better. But like the Bour-
bons they are neither forgetting nor
forgivins.
This is illustrated by the regular
committee OF Williamson county.
That body recently met and called a
primary to select delegates to the
state convention. The rules exclude
from the primary all who voted for
Hooper. Suppose similar action were
taken in all the counties, suppose
that the democratic state convention
should solemnly announce that 1t
would not ask for nor receive for its
nominee the vote of any man who
did not support McMillin. What
chance would the candidate have?
Would he care to run simply for his
health?
A somewhat similar situation ex-
lists in Maury county. The chairman
of the county regular committee has
boldly announced that If the regular
convention made overtures to the in
dependents, conceded that the fights
over the temperance and election
laws were settled he would not be
bound by that action.
Even assuming that there should
be a general getting together of dem.
ocrats in East and West Tennessee.
with strife among the factions still
existing in Middle Tennessee, the
democrats could not win against a
united and harmonious republican
party. There must be better evil
dences of harmony" and unity"
among the democrats Of Middle Ten.

any of the candidates for the demo-
