REPUBLICANS DID IT.


Republicans Of East Tennessee
were responsible for the close call
that Judge Williams had. They did
mot vote for the Independent candi-
date. Outside Of Sullivan county,
every county in East Tennessee
would have given Williams big ma
jority If they had only voted for him.
Knox county, republican by 1000,
gave Burrow a majority. Hooper's
own county of Cooke, republican by
1000, gave Williams fifty majority.
The list might be extended. Tho re-
publicans in that section are always
anxious for democrats in Middle and
West Tennessee to vote for q lepub'
lican for governor, but they are
mighty shy about Sang the same
thing.
The Williams and Burrow vote, II
must be admitted, makes ire political
situation anything but rosy for Gov
Hooper. Thousands and thousands
lof regular democrats all over thu
Estate who have never and never vii
vote for republican, supported vii
lliams. His majority in Davidson
lcounty was due to regular support
Then there are thousands OF inde
pendent democrats in Tennessee whit
voted for and actively supported VII
|liams who will not vote tor Hooper
There are many Of them In this coun
|t,.
There are signs plentr that Hoop
or is not as strong with the republl
cans in East Tennessee as lie hal
been. Their failure to vote for WI
liams in the face Of the intensely pal
tisan appeal that his election wa
necessary to Hooper's success, prove
! this. Taking the whole situatio
into consideration nc one can den
that the governor is up against tn
: hardest fight that he has ever hat
d -Four years ago he won by 1900 TO
= lowing an election in which the II
r dependent judici,l candidates wo
t by $4,000. Now can he win this tim
when the independent majority wa
I $4,000 less?

THE STATE ELECTION.

The election OF Judge Williams to
the supreme court, now indicated by
a small majority, will be most graft
flying to those who appreciate his
splendid services upon the supreme
bench. 1t Is also vindication OF the
principle of free and independent
and non-political judiciary. The
closeness of the contest was sur
prise to US; we nave always believed
that Judge Williams would have a
substantial majority. He was EMIT
led to it.
However, we have for some time
realized the mistakes that have been
made by some of Judge Williams
supporters. Claiming that he was
the nom political candidate for judge
of our highest court, some OF the
men and organs supporting him, have
made the most intensely partisan
appeals for his election. For example
newspapers have urged his support
because of a decision in a case that
involved political control OF the
state. That did not sit well upon
the stomachs of taose who were sin
cerely favorable to the principle OF
an independent non-political judi
ciary. 1t is true that Judge Williams
was not responsible for these ap'
peals, but they unquestionably
changed many voters.
Newspapers also urged support
Of a non-partisan candidate upon the
ground that his election would be
favorable to the election OF Hooper
In November. This was rank in
consistency that unquestionably cost
Judge Williams many votes. We
have taken particular note OF the
large majorities given against Judge
Williams in number Of counties
where the local papers appealed fol
support for him upon the plea thai
his election would help Hooper.
The demagogic attack made upoI
Judge Burrow because Of his con
nection with railroad did not hell
Williams. These false issues, i'm
properly injected into the campaign
cost Williams votes in Maury coun
fy, and would unQuestionably hav'
cost him more but for The Herald
emphatic disclaimer that Judge Wi
liams was any way responsible TO
them. The Herald appealed to tn
people of this county in behalf o
Judge Williams upon the groun
that he deserved election; that h
stood for the principle Of non-pol
tical judiciary and that his candidac
had no relation whatever to tn
candidacy of any other politician
II is most gratifying to note the re-
ponse to this appeal. We believ
that had the candidacy Of Judge WI
Hams been placed upon the sam
high plane by all OF his supporter
his majority would have been 1900

cRuMp THE VICTOR.

Our recent obituary notice OF May
or Crump, Of Memphis, and his ma
chine was evidently bit premature
Hereafter we will insist upon the &C
txal presence of the corpse before
shedding any tears or ordering any
flowers. In spite Of adverse election
od,cers, Of the sharp practices OF his
opponents in keeping the name OF
one of the candidates off the ballot,
the Crump ticket won by surprising
maIorities. The vote of the county
was not heavy, much lighter than had
been expected, but the opposition to
Crump made a miserable showing
OF 1900 votes cast the best the oppo
sition could muster was about b,oot
votes.
There is no doubt about Crump'f
complete mastery Of the politics o.
Memphis and Shelby county. The
ueople down there believe In the
man. A majority of the slum Gle
ment unquestionably votes for Cruml
snd SO does majority of the ousi
mesa element. He is srtnog with al
Glasses: he has given Memphis, asid'
from the failure to enforce one law
q good business administration AM
the people applaud him.
With a majority OF the election on
GERS the Crump opposition did no
make a single dent in the Crump ms
chine. We have little doubt tina
keeping Reichman's name off the oa
lot really helped Crump's ticket. Tn
people of most any county love fal
MAY. The same taCtics in this cour
ty would have elected any candidate
And the commissioners of election /
Maury county, taking the Reichma
incident as a precedent, would hav
been justified in denying more tina
half of the candidates a place upo
the ballot.
Crump's crowd politically is 70
ten, but the opposition in Memphl
is not a bit better, probably not
good. 1t is made up largely OF tn

gang that Crump destroyed.
