The PRo$REss never fails to find
pleasure in the announcement
that the Hon. Thetus W. Sims
is a candidate for Congress.
Having known him since the
early days of his struggle to get
a foothold in the practice of law,
in the town Of Linden, Perry
county, having watched his hon.
orable and successful career and
knowing the high type of man
that he is, we doom it piece OF
repeated good fortune that he
has been so often retained as the
representative of the Eighth
Congressional district of Tonnes
see.
During Mr.. Sims long career
in the lower branch Of the law
making body of this government,
he has never cast a vote OF which
he is or was ashamed and for
which it was necessary for him
to apologize. Every vote has
been cast in keeping with the
real tenets Of the Democratic
party, nor has he at any time
surrendered a principle e " e a
temporarily, on the plea of ex.
pediency. Take for instance,
the Presidents successful fight
against the declaration 10 the
last Democratic platform, that
American coastwise vessels
should pass through tie Panama
canal without the payment of
tolls. President Wilson saw
that one had been put over"
by subsidized interests-had
caught the national Democracy
napping--and to remedy that
wrong, he appealed to Congress
and the people to kill the subsi-
dy and remedy the defect in the
platform. In this, fight, the
greatest of his administration
up to this good day, President
Wilson was represented in the
House by 7. w. Sims, who in
troduced the bill to repeal the
Panama canal tolls exemption
and fought it to finish on the
floor of the House.
1t is often asked by the unin-
formed, those who from habit
oppose Mr.. Sims, What has he
done in Congress?" He has,
dear people, succeeded in prac-
tically everything that he has
attempted in behalf of his dis
trict and at all times in behalf
of the Democratic party under
the Wilson administration. Do
you remember the Hiram John.
son Bill" which IN the days of
Mr.. Enloe was regarded as one
Of the most just and important
bills that ever affected the PEG.
Die Of this district? Mr.. Sims,
by hard work and close atten.
tion to business had that money,
thousands of dollars, paid to the
people Of this district. The
Tennessee River runs through
the Eighth District and Mr..
Sims succeeded in securing a
splendid appropriation for it. A
few years ago Mr.. Sims made
the successful fight, as a mem.
Der Of the District Of Columbia
Committee to abolish racetrack
gambling in the District. The
very matter which was the cause
Of Mr.. Sims being attacked by
