ANNIVERSARY !
FOR GOVERNOR

Governor Hooper completed
three years service as Governor
of Tennessee Sunday, and during
the three years he has pardoned
and committed 100 prisoners,
while 102 have been released on
parole and conditional pardon,
two methods of extending Glenn
ency have been introduced by the
Governor.
These figures, brought up to
Saturday night, show how well
the Governor has kept his pledge
to use the pardoning power with
discretion and judgment. AS COM
pared with Governor Patterson,
for instance, he has pardoned
only about one-seventh as many
men as Governor Patterson did in
three years, while among certain
classes of crimes, such as boot

mortality, increasing insanity, in

Experts in various lines of human
conservation will make reports. The
conference in it's broadest sense,

The National Conference on Race
Betterment which opened in Battle
Creek Jan. is the first repre-
sentative group of competent scien-
tlfc experts ever gathered in the
United States to discuss the deteri-
grafton of the human race and to
propose remedies to check the
downward trend. Similar confer
ences have been held in other
countries.
The decline of the birth rate in the
British Isles became so alarming
that the English Parliament ap-
pointed commission to make a
study of the conditions and to rec
comend plans for their ameliora-
ton. France has also given official
recognition to the downward ten
dency Of the race and is taking
steps to avert its eventual extinc-

enforcement measures by the last
legislature. In this fierce and long
drawn out fight for decency and
law enforcement, he battled al
most single handed and alone,
and won. His ability as a leader
and courage as fighter, were
fully tested in this struggle, and
the false charges made by his
enemies in regard to his sincerity,
forever set at rest. But while he
has accomplished much that will
be lasting good to the people of
Tennessee, there yet remains
much more to be done along the
same line, and we believe him to
be the proper man to do the work.
We, therefore, call upon him to
again accept the leadership of the
forces of good government in Ten
nessee, and again lead them to
victory.
We also wish to express our ap-
probation of the assistance render
ed Governor Hooper in his fight
| for the preservation of orr cleo
ton and temperance laws, by Con-
gresham Sells and others.
We approve the course pursued
by our state senator, Hon. j. C.
Crawford in the last legislature.
We lament the fact, however, that
we cannot as republicans, endorse
the course of all the members of
the last legislature, who were cleo
ted as republicans. We therefore
warn the republicans of the coun-
ty and also democrats who favor
honest elections, temperance and
law enforcement to look well to
the election Of a representative to
represent us in the next general
assembly of Tennessee. In the
last legislature, East Tennessee,
furnished the only republican
members who were not true to
the republican state platform, or
their constituencies, and we there
fore admolish, not only the repub-
licans Of this county, but of all
our neighboring counties, to send
men to the legislature next year
who can be relied upon to stand
! by their platform pledges.
The great Importance of this
matter, has caused this committee,
to include the nomination of a can
didate for representative in its call
for a primary election. This has
been done, however, a number of
times in the past, but not for some
few years. We realize that con-
vention nominations have become
unpopular and that they are some
times unfair, land therefore deem it
best to make the nomination in
the primary along with the other
county officers.
