Enthusiasm in the cause of oscar w
Underwood is rampant at Woodlawn
Last night the people gathered there
to hear the issues discussed by John
3. Burris, the blind patriarch, and Cap

democrat of Decatur. The audience was
large and representative.
An Underwood club was organized
The officers chosen were: John Il

vice president; T. c. Buckshaw, second
vice president; DR.. J. A. Collins, third
vice president; Hughes Il. Kennedy,
secretary; Otis Helm, assistant secre-
tary: DR.. II. A Elkourie. treasurer,
There were two excellent speeches.
Mr.. Burriss was earnest in argument
and merciless in ridieule. Captain
Blackwell discussed the issues in a
logical manner and his eloquence was
greeted with storms of applause. Both
men are we'll known Alabamians. Both
are democrats. Both are prohibition
lists.
Presented by Gibson
Mr. Burrs was presented by J. B.
Gibson. Mr. Gibson said that without

1t was with unspeakable pleasure that
he met again with his people In an ef-

its object the good of the country and
the upbuilding of this community.
Whereupon the speaker proceeded to
tell highly humorous story having
no application to the senatorial cam
paign. 1t concerned a certain obstrep-
erous bull. At the conclusion of the
narrative he said: And now you won

senatorial campaign. Nothing at all.

prohibition views. He declared that in

Did Not Spare Hobson
Captain Blackwell, though mild in his
language, did not spare Captain Hobson,
He pointed out that whereas Captain
Hobson had spoken eloquent volumes in
regard to education that he had not only
accomplished nothing for education, but
had declined the chairma nship of the
educational committee in order that he
might retain his position on the com
mittee of naval affairs.

RACE FOR CONGRESS.
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
Do the democrats of this district
not think that President Wilson is do
ing all in his power to make a good
president? Do you not think that he
is doing his level best for the inter
ests of all the people? Above all he
is trying to keep peace in these war
like and war excited times. And yet
each day more momentous issues
arise. Do you not realize that Pres
ident is powerless if he does not have
the support of his cabinet and the
chairmen of the different great COM
mittees of the congress? In this time
of tense excitement do you think it
will be wise to break up any of his
splendid committees and open the
way of disorganization of the forces
that have admirably sustained our
great President?
Then bear in mind that you will
be doing just that very thing, when
you vote to retire Padgett to pri
vate life. You can elect one to draw
Padgett's salary, but frankly are you
going to elect one to take Padgett's
place? By voting for Padgett to stay
at home you make it possible for a
change in congress that may prove
to the detriment Of the national
administration. No newly elected
man. no matter who he may be, can
fill Padgett's place in this time OF
tense excitement and of momentous
national and international issues,
Your state pride should make you
want to keep a Tennessean before
the public especially when the Ten
nessean has SO demeaned himself as
to win the unstinted praise of the
president of the United States.

FOLKS DISCUSSING
CONGRESS PRIMARY
FIGURING ON VOTE
INTEREST is PICKING UP IN THE
ELECTION ON NEXT
SATURDAY..
PADGETT WILL CARRY MAuRT
Only Matter in Doubt Is the Size o.
Majority That viii Be Given Able
Representative From the seventis
District.

Interest is picking up very mate
rally in the congressional primary
on next Saturday and there was mora
discussion of that contest today On
the streets than there has been aG
any time since the primary was o..
dered. Already the politicians hava
commenced to figure on the size q
the vote that will be polled. No
one questions that Padgett will have
a good majority in the county, that
fact is generally conceded.
But will the able member from the
seventh have large majority or a
small one, that is question that will,
depend on the size of the vote. 1t Is
agreed that the vote in the primary
will not be large in any county of the
district, due to the fact that the peO-
pie are pretty well surfeited with
elections. Again there has been a
disposition upon the part of some to
remain out of the primary. Howev-
er, this feeling is rapidly dying out.
The rules are such that state and ma
tional affairs are in no way mixed or
entangled, the only pledge required
being one to support the nominee.
However, the voter must have voted
for Wilson if he voted in 1912. 9th
erwise they will not be eligible to
vote. In other words democrats who
voted for Taft or Roosevelt in 1919
are not eligible, no matter how they
may expect to vote in the future
Estimates of the total vote in Maui
ry county run from 1000 to 5000, but
the general opinion is that it will be
much nearer the former figure than
the latter. The old fashioned three
by seven ballot will be used. The
polls will be open during the USUAL
hours at all of the voting places and
the result in the county should be
known within an hour after the polls
close

DENTON AND LONG
AGAIN CANDIDATES
FOR LEGISLATURE
POPULAR MEMBERS OF HOUSE
MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT TO
PEOPLE.
STANDING ON Their RECORDS
Position Upon Public Questions Well
Known to the People and They
Appeal With Confidence for An
Endorsement of Record.

William H. Long, of Mt. Pleasant,
and C. C. Denton, of Glendale, today
announced that they would be candi-
dates for reelection to the house of
representatives in the November
election. In making their announce
ment they said
"We announce to the people of
Maury county that at the coming
November election we will be candi-
dates for. reelection to the house of
representatives We will make the
race for reelection upon our records
in the last legislature. The people
are perfectly familiar with our posi-
ton upon the issues that have been
involved in Tennessee politics. We
stand for the same identical prin-
ciples for which we stood when we
were honored by election to the
house, We are exceedingly grateful
to the people for tho splendid major
ity which they gave US two years
ago and we sincerely hope that our
record has been sucn that we can
appeal with confidence for that en-
dorsement which it is not only GUS
tomary to give the faithful servant,
but which would be especially graft
flying to u.s."
1t will be recalled that two years
ago Messrs. Denton and Long enter
ed the race for representative only
at the urgent insistence Of the peo-
pie. They did not desire at that
time to make the contest, in fact SER
vice in the legislature was somewhat
of personal sacrifice, but having
been elected they feel that their rec
ord has been such as to deserve an
endorsement
Probably two more popular men do
not reside in the county than w. H.
Long and G. C. Denton. Their loyal
friends are legion. They are to be
found in all parts Of the county.
This was attested by the magnificent
majorities which both received when
they were elected in 1912. That
their records in the legislature were
satisfactory to the people is generally
conceded. ......
Both Messrs. Denton and Long
made enviable records for public SER
vice. In the midst of all the deals,
the traffiicking for Office and place,
that were characteristic Of the last
Legislature, the finger of suspicion
never once pointed to these gentle
men. Neither Mr. Long nor Mr..
Denton asked for or accepted any
office for themselves or for any mem
vice in the legislature They had
strict regard for the spirit of the con-
stitution and sought no personal pro
fit whatever from their stay in the
general assembly. They were atteG-
tive to the duties of their Offices and
their conduct was such as to win the
applause of their friends and the
good opinion of their enemies
Both will make active and agrees
'sive campaigns. They are hustlers
and should they have opposition,
their opponents will know whatever
the outcome that they have been to
a genuine horse race.
