SECOND DISTRICT
DEM. CONVENTION
TRIBUTE TO JUDGE BURROW
Non-Political Candidate Comes in
for Roast and Party Urged to
Get Behind Candidates.

Knoxville, June 21.-The resolu-
tions adopted by the democratic con-
vention of the Second district here
Saturday, which placed Harvey II,
Hannah in the field to contest for con-
gressional honors with Representa-
tive Richard w. Austin, paid especial
attention to the race between Judge
Robert Burrow, the democratic nomi-
nee, and Judge Sam c. Williams for a
seat on the supreme bench. The ap-
peal Judge Williams recently made
for democratic votes is made the sub
ject of caustic comment by the demo-
Gratis of this district.
Gen. Hannah, in accepting the NOM
nation for congress, declared that II
"Richard w. Austin will meet me on
the stump, we will give the people
of the Secnod congressional district a
far better circus than Capt. Gibson
did twelve years ago"
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention, in part, are as follows:
1--WE remind our fellow citizens that
our first state election occurs in Au-
gust. and that, the contest then is be-
tween lifelong democrat, Robert
Burrow, the unanimous nominee of
our state convention for the office of
supreme judge, and Judge Williams,
the appointee of Gov, Hooper and the
nominee of the republican state con-
vention. To the true democrat this is
as much test of party strength and
fealty as the November election,
which will decide between Hooper, re-
publican and Rye, democrat. Let us
win in August, and victory in Novem-
Der is assured.
1--WE therefore call upon every voter
in the district who owns the name of
democrat, and every citizen who looks
to democracy state and national, for
the administration of public affairs
with even-handed JUSTICE to vote for
Robert Burrow for supreme judge of
the state, and thereby help to insure
the defeat of the third term candi-
date. HOOPER, for governor.
Judge Williams call TO us to vote
for him as a non-partisan candidate
with no political principles-does not
appeal to us as men. as Tenneseans,
as democrats.
There is no charge from any
source that our nominee. Robert Bur-
row, is unworthy of the nomination
or untitled for the position of SUI
preme judge. Some men say he is a
democratic nominee, and therefore
ought to be defeated. That is the only
charge against him.
'These are the very reasons why
we support him; and we call upon
our fellow citizens to help us elect
him. He is democrat for forty
years, he is worthy; he is expe-
rienced; he is frank. manly and hon
est; he confesses his democracy be-
fore the world, and in so doing makes

a good confession. We are glad to
vote for him
His opponent, on the contrary, the
appointee of Gov. Hooper, the well
known candidate of the republican
convention, is making an active can
vass, under the claim that he is a
non-political candidate, and appealing
to democrats to remember him at the
polls!
"Tennesseans do not call a man a
Baptist who does not believe in i'm
merSion they don't call a man a
Methodist who repudiates the doctrine
of free salvation; nor do they think a
man a Presbyterian who denies di-
vine foreknowledge particularly cleo
ton and final perseverance. Nor do
we count a man democrat, or de-
serving the votes of democrats, who
takes a republican appointment, well
comes republican approval, ignores
the democratic state convention and
party, and solicits the votes of indie
pendent democrats for himself and
third term Hooper, to keep them in
Office and to defeat the democratic
party and its nominees both in Au-
gust and November.
Fellow democrats, we have in reg
ular and fair convention nominated
candidates, who are worthy of our
support, and of election to the offices
they stand for. AS democrats we owe
them our cordial and earnest efforts
for election. This is time to try
mems party fealty. Let no man vote
against Burrow, Rye and Welch, and
call himself a Tennessee democrat
thereafter.
eve are democrats because we be-
lieye in democratic principles and
support democratic nominees; and we
believe the time has come for demo-
Gratis to Msume control in Tennes-
see. Let no man make the mistake
Of supposing he can be a democrat
and vote against true democrats at
the polls.
1--WE offer to the voters of the Sec
ond district true and tried demo-
crat, as our candidate for congress
and we call upon all men who oppose
graft and trusts and the taxing of
the masses for the benefit of the few
to help us elect him.

FOR POSTMISTRESS
AT COLUMBIA, TENN.
SHE WOULD NOT ASK FORT
Senator Talks Freely About His
Attitude IN the Mech Discuss
ed Situation of Affair.

Senator John X. Shields, who was
in the city Sunday and Monday, takes
issue with the Nashville Banners edi-
torial discussion of the Columbia
postofIice appointment, in respect to
its references to the Tennessee sena-
tors attitude as to Mrs. e. w. Car
mack's aspirations for The apopint-
ment.
The Banner charges that:
"If either senator had wanted Mrs.
Carmack appointed, and labored to-
that end, there is not q man living in
the county of Maury that a senate
composed largely of the late e. w.
Carmaclfs former associates and
friends, would have voted to confirm,
but that by a practically unanimous
voice they would, if requested, have
united in asking Mrs. Carmack's APP
pointment and gladly voted for her
confirmation"
Replying to this statement by the
Banner, Senator Shields said to
Sentinel reporter:
with Mrs. Carmack and the Columbia
postoffice are these: One year or
more ago / wrote to warm personal
friend, who is also an intimate
friend and admirer of Mrs. Carmack
and her family. l inquired if Mrs.
Carmack desired the appointment as
postmistTess at Columbia. To this
letter, which was entirely voluntary
on my part, l received reply stat
ing that Mrs. Carmack was in no
sense candidate for The office, and
would not allow her friends to make a
contest for her Subsequently, friends
of Col. McKennon, who was an officer
in Jonas Amos bank and good man
and a democrat, endorsed him for ap-
pointment to the Columbia postmast-
ership. Ec was a frient Of Congress-
man Padgett, of the Columbia district,
and under the policy of this and other

gressman was conceded The privilege
of naming the postmasters in his
home district. Mr.. Paigett was fa-
vorable to Col McKen IONS appoint
ment, and that being the case, told
him l would vote for Mr.. McKennon's
confirmation.

II was never asked to support Mrs.
Carmack, and have never promised to
do so at any time, further than as
stated"
