thing shoald be done at once to re-
juvanate the party. The rank and file
is alright and more than anxious to
show their faith by their votes and it
is to give these faithful warriors an
opportunity to vote their sentiments
that we have decided to make this
race. We were anxious to have an
other make the race and expected to
have a nomination made in the regu-
lar way, but the chairman of the con-
gressional committee failed to take
any action in the premesis, and rather
than see the matter go by default, and
thus compel democrats to enter an
other republican factional quarrel or
remain silent, we have decided to ex-

ask all democrats who believe this is
right to vote for me, and let us put an
end forever to this non-action on the
part of the men who have been placed
in authority, but, for selfish and un-
democratic reasons, fail to act.
The democratic party in the East
Tennessee has hard struggle at best
and it can't hope to grow without
constant cultivation, and if we are to
harvest and save the young democrat
ic crop that natures every year we
must see that our weapons are sharp
and our graneries pure.
This is democratic year in Tennes-
see. We are going to elect Gen. Rye
and Geo. WEIGH with old-time MAORI
ties and the first district can send a
democrat to congress if democrats
will only do their duty and vote the
ticket. When the polls close Nov. 3,
may it be said of you, well done, good
and faithful democrat, Tennessee is
redeemed and the first district purged. |

INDORSED COLONEL LYLE.

The democrats of Washington coun-
| ty, Tenn, held a convention at Jones'
boro last Monday and nominated a
candidate for representative in the
next legislature. They also adopted
some resolutions, among them the fol-
lowing:
with respect to nominating dem
ocratic candidate for congress from
the first congressional district of Ten
nessee, we recommend that a confer
ence of the democrats of said district
be called at an early date and decide
upon the manner of nominating such
candidate, if such action is deemed ad-
visable. In the event such convention
is called, we hereby endorse Hon. Cy
H. Lyle as the democratic candidate
for said nomination"
1t is already known that the demo-
cratic leaders of the first district will
take no action looking to the nomina-
ton of candidate for congress- They
neglected the matter until within four
or five weeks of the election, and then
admitted that it was too late.
In commenting on this fact the other
day, we took occasion to say that, SO
far as known, Colonel Cy Lyle's can
didacy represents nothing more THAI
personal political ambition. This is
not altogether Colonel Lyle's fault,
since he did not announce his candid
acy until it became APPARENT that the
democrats would make no nomination.
Had a democratic convention been
held, the party might have placed its
standard in his hands. Certainly he
would have had the support of the
democrats of his home county, who
endorsed him in their convention Mon
day.
The democrats of the first Tonnes
see district seem to lack the fighting
qualities which characterize their
democratic neighbors in the ninth Vir-
ginia district. 1t has been fourteen
years since the ninth district demo-
Gratis scored a victory, but every two
years during that time they have met
the enemy with logged persistence
and grim determination, and this year
they have more fight in them than
ever. If Tate Irvine doesn't lead them
to victory next month, the indications
are terribly deceptive.-Bristol Herald
Courier.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

DR.. Simon Flexner, director of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search, made an important announce
ment before 700 eminent physicians in
New York.
He explained that in the institute
the germ of infantile paralysis had
been discovered. This, he explained,
was the first important step; that a
cure would eventually be found.
This will be welcome news to the
medical fraternity. Coming from a
man of such eminence, it will be ac-
cepted.
When the Friedman consumption
cure startled the world there were
many who were skeptical from the
very beginning. There was an at
mosphere of fake about the way the
cure was exploited With DR.. Flex-
ner it is different. He has nothing to
gain personally or professionally. The
statement would not be made unless
nouncement also differs in source and
caution from the claims of DR.. Fried
man. This purely scientific group of
experts may achieve triumph as
great in the conversation of child life
as Koch, Pasteur and others who have
won distinction in their lines of germ
exploration.
Infant paralysis is spread in many
ways. The common house fly that
perpetual pest of humanity, carries
the organism which at last has been
made visible under the microscope
Bugs and chickens disseminate it. A
virus is formed after the germ has
been inhaled while coughing; it soon
ascends to the brain and thus affects
the entire nervous system. It's appal-
ing power is shown in producing Grip
Piles and deformities. Extreme irri-
liability is symptom.
More than 5000 cases of infantile
paralysis were recorded in the United
States in 1911. For 20 years pliysi-
clans have been baffied in attempts to
combat it.
The discovery opens the way to fu-
ture explorations. The germ having
been found. it will not be very long
before methods of treating this same
germ will be discovered
This is the work that one mans mil
lions have made possible. Physicians
and chemists work night and day at

The democrats of Washington coun-
ty have done the right thing in nomi-
mating Prof Paul W. Worley for rep
resentative. Mr. Worley is a young
man, a native of this county, and has
every necessary qualification to make
a capable lawmaker. He is clean hon
est and democratic and if elected will
go to Nashville determined to serve all
the people with intelligence and fidel-
ity. We believe these qualities will
insure his election.

Johnson City is willing that as
many good things as possible may
come her way, judging from the fact
that she has already secured a nomi-
nation for one of her citizens for the
state senate and now, with two avow-
ed candidates for congress already an
nounced, one representing the repub-
liCan party and the other counting
favor at the hand of the Bull Moose
here comes our good friend, Cy Lyle,
of the Johnson City Comet making goo
goo eyes at the democrats, offering to
place himself on the altar as their
sacrifice, so that, in case the republic
cans of the First district refuse to
elect either Sam Sells or Jim Cox,
Johnson City would still have a look
in, provided Brother Lyle should be
chosen reeneville Democrat.

the party. 1t would be distinctly hui
initiating to President Wilson and to
his administration should Tennessee
again be conceded to the republican
party. 1t is for this reason he is soli-
citious and why he has written letters
earnestly urging democratic friends in
the state to do what they can to Sc
cure the election of Gen. Rye.
His pen campaign may yet be I'M
expectedly successful. Sentiment in
the state is slowly changing back to
its natural channel-Memphis Com

CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

Some one in Bristol who is evident
ly very much interested in the election
of one or the other of the republican
candidates for congress, seems TO
think that a democrat can't run for
congress because the party has made
no nomination. That gentleman viii
enlighten the people very much ii he
will tell just what political party has
made a nomination and when it was
done. Sam Sells was renominated by
a few members of his executive COM
mittee by default, because no one en-
tered the primary that tho committees
couldn't agree upon. Jim Cox was
nominated by truck load of fellows
who met at Jonesboro and claimed to
represent faction of the republican
party. Cy Lyle nominated himself by
and with the consent of the people
II Sells is entitled to a nomination by
the committee because the people
wouldn't act, why isn't Lyle entitled
to nomination by the people because
the committee wouldn't act Are the
democrats of this district to be de-
prived of an opportunity to vote for
democrat because a few people for
selfish purposes declined to act. We
say no. A nomination Is not necessary
to make democrat vote the ticket
and a dozen nominations would not
make the anti-democratic members of
the party support the nominee. The
Bristol Courier has very wisely said
this is the best chance the democrats
have had to elect congressman in a
quarter of century, but some one
''laid down." Why shouldn't there be
a democratic candidate? There is no
reason. Every man who believes that
Woodrow Wilson has made a great
president, and that opinion is univer-
sal, should be allowed to cast vote
of approval of what he has done and
confidence in what he will do. I'll
every democrat will stand up and be
counted this year they can elect a
democrat to congress. We say this
because the republicans are in a cha
otto state and thousands of them had
no voice in the selection of either of
their candidates and will not vote for
either of them. Many will not vote at
all and many will vote for the demo-
crat in order to clean the slate and
start new two years hence. Republi-
cans figure that this is an ideal time
to take this action, inasmuch as there
is a democratic House, Senate and
President and if anything can be done
for the district at all, it can surely be
done by democrat, and while settling
the quarrels in the republican party
they can also be rendering the con-
gressional district real service.
There was time in this district
when a democrat was nominated for
congress regularly and the party did
not suffer thereby, but occasionally
elected man. This year should be
ne exception to the rule, particularly
because this is the. greatest opportun-
ity to elect the democrats have had
since 1878. when Bob" Taylor was
elected.
The democratic party in the first
district has been intellectually injured
by this non-combatant policy on the
part of designing politicians and some

CONTESTANTS
WANTING PONY

Now is the time to cash in your
promises" Doubtless many people
you have seen earlier in the contest
have told you they would give you
their subscriptions later in the con-
test. The time is growing short and
it would be well to remind them that
now is the time to let you have the
subscriptions. There will be no time
during the contest when a subscrip-
ton will get you more votes than it
will get right now. So don't put off
getting it on that account.
Demonstration is the thief of
time" Don't put off doing today what
can be done today. There will be
plenty to be done tomorrow and the
next day and on succeeding days when
those days come. Don't crowd today's
work into them. So don't put off see
ing that gentleman or lady from whom
you expect to get a subscription. If
you do put it off, you may find when
you go that some earlier bird has Sc
cured the worm" and the precious
votes that go with these worms.
The little pony outfit will arrive in
Johnson City within a few days, and
will be exhibited on the streets. When
you see it you will want it more than
ever, and if you have neglected doing
any work that would have helped you
to win the outfit, you will greatly re-
greet it. The way to avoid regrets,
which don't get you anything, is to do
the work which gets you votes instead
of regrets. Votes will get you the
pony. Make every hour count from
now until the close of the contest, and
you will have no regrets.

will he giyAn ON advertising.

WHY THE WOMEN LOST.

Washington, ID C.-Indignation
is expressed at the National Won
ans Suffrage headquarters over
the reports that are coming III
from Ohio, where an equal suffrage
amendment to the constitution
was defeated in the recent elec-
ton. A formal statement from
the Quo suffragists will show
that while the suffragists support
ed the dry cause in the election,
the drys did not reclprocate. An
informal report issued by the suf
fragists of Summit county, Ohio,
states that the figures Indicate
that some of the vets voted for
the suffrage amendment.
"Although there we're 1924
votes cast in this county for home
rule, An Out.and out wet amend
ment, there were only IL, 279 votes
cast against suffrage. Nearly a
thousand men voted wet but did
not oppose suffrage and probably
some Of them actually voted for
it," says the report.
"And what were the drys doing?
They cast IA, 721 votes for prohibi
ton, while suffrage received only
9,215 votes in this county. 1t
looks as if more than $500 dry
voters voted against us, or what
ia just as bad, did not vote at all.
"And these figures stand out il
the face of the fact that we talked
prohibition every chance we got
and did oil the work we POSSIBLY
could for the cause.
s'We were afraid of the wet vote
From the looks of things we nigh
have looked for more trouble from
those We thought were our friends.
1t really seems that prOh bltlon
and suffrage do not go together,
after ALL"
The report concludes with the
assertion that an analysis OF the
state results will show a similar
situation throughout Ohio.
