GEN. RYE ADDRESSES
LARGE CROWD HERE
From Twelve to Fourteen Hundred People Heard Him
in the Courthouse Yard Last Friday

Last Friday the next governor
of Tennessee arrived in Newport
on passenger train No. IL and
went at once to the Minis hotel
where a continual stream Of peo-
pie visited him until time for him
to address them. Promptly at
one o'clock DR.. j. F. Stanbery
mounted the platform on the East
side Of the court house which had
been constructed for the purpose
and introduced Gen. Rye to the
people Of Cooke county in a well
prepared short speech. On the
platform were seated the following
we'll known gentlemen: Major
James T. Huff, Rev. Chas. Brown,
David Stokely, Joseph Huff, A. l..
Baumgarner, P. Y. Mason, James
Welch, j. T. Allen, Jacob Susong,
j. A. Morell, VIM. Whitson, VIM.
Allen, j. A. KiSer, Colonel Phipps,
James Stuart and Captain Sam
Jack.
Gen. Rye opened his speech
amid much hand clapping. 1t was
evident that the people were
anxious to hear him and when he
made a telling blow upon Hooper
it was met with ready applause.
He said the only man fit to be
governor lived in Newport and
that he had been discovered in
1910 by Newell Sanders. He re-
ferred to the statement of Hooper
that his opponent was a third rate
lawyer and long before he had
finished speaking his hearers
were convinced that if he was a
third rate lawyer he was at least
able to handle Hooper and this he
did with gloves off. He showed
up the school book graft in its
nakedness and to the shame of
Hooper and his tools of the Text
Book Commission, one of whom
lives in this county and is at this
time a candidate for Representa-
tive. He showed that second
class books had been purchased
at a higher price than first class
books and said that every mistake
that had been made was in favor
of the book concerns and against
the children of Tennessee. Some
one in the crowd wanted to know
who appointed the Textbook
Commission and Gen. Rye prompt
ly answered that the governor did
and that the governor seemed to
be the president, secretary and
voting strength of the present
commission.
Gen. Rye laid bare the fact that
Hooper has cost Tennessee thous-
ands of dollars more than any
governor we have had in many
years and that not a dollar had
been paid on the state debt, that
many useless officers had been
created and that the fair name of
the state had been banded about
in the credit markets of the world
and that finally the National ad-
ministration came to the relief of
Tennessee and assisted her to bor-
row money to meether obligations
and he said all of this was charg-
able to the business" governor.
Some one in the crowd yelled
for Hooper and Gen. Rye respond
ed with a story of an Indian who
lassooed a locomotive in the West

A special meeting of the executive
committee of the board of trustees has
hnen called for Friday afternoon for the
purpose of acting on the recommends
on. Aroused by the summary action
that is being taken in the matter, the
s. -dentry vigorously will request that
lis meeting be deferred until those
favoring the continuance of athletics
shall have reasonable time to present
= srguments in support of their stand.
! he situation has been precinitated by
a ypen letter to the University Hatchet.
TIE student publication, bv Prof. Henry
4 aiE Jones. member Of the president s
Incil, and faculty member of the
hletic council. In the letter. Prof.
Ines decribed the idea of reviving
sthletics at the university, and urged
Nehemently that the ban be placed on
sch activities permanently. His .ea-
rs in the main were those offered by
the presidents council
Practically every student organization
n the university is adopting resolutions,
! ctesting against the discontinuance of
athletics. The Engineers Society will
~ eet tonight for that purpose. Many
of the fraternities already have framed
Iesolutions, and the Chemical Society
aDd University Congress are preparing
:" add their voice to the vociferous pro-
est. The Association of Class Presi-
Unnts will meet tomorrow night. and
t"Cether with representatives from each
OF the student organizations, will out
me q plan of procedure.

HOLD SPECIAL MEETING ON FRIDAY.

University Hatchet will come out to-
morrow morning with a revolutionary
issue. containing full page editorial
In condemnation of the proposal of the
presidents council. 1t also will contain
fiery letters from Prof. L. c. McNemar.
of The Department Of Political Science;
Howard w. Hodgkins, son of Dean
Howard Lincoln Hodgkins and propi-
nent alumnus, and David A. Baer. a
local lawyer and manager Of the uni
versity football team in 1909. All these
letters will be in denunciation of the
scheme for abolishing athletics.
The action of the presidents council
is looked upon by the students as an
unqualified breach of faith, in view Of
the fact that for several years the fac
uIty has led the students to believe that
as soon as the athletic Indebtedness was
paid off wider activities would be sane
tened
The deficit has been cut down TO
$50 by the receipts from the recent
vaudeville benefit at the institution,
and plans were being made for the total
elimination of the Indebtedness before
the expiration of the collegiate year. 1t
is said that the Presidents Council
realized that the debt would be wiped
out, and decided to put the ban on
athletics before the students had an
opportunity to request permission for
widening the scope of activities.
For twenty years the university has
fostered various forms Of athletic ac-
tivities. and for four or five years the
university football team held the
championship of the South. Football
was discontinued in 1910 because of
financial difficulties. For two years
the university has maintained a basket
ball team. Many successful track
meets also have been held. Such activ-
tiles will be impossible in the future, if
the recommendation of the President 8
Council is approved.
